ROBERTSON MARINE SYSTEMS Circle 60 on Reader Service Card Robertson Marine Systems, Inc., of Metairie, La., has introduced its new Dynamic Positioning System (DPS), the ROBMASTER I, which meets DnV AUT classification re- quirements for a single console com- puter DPS. Included in the DP console is the proven AP9MKII auto- pilot, "stay put" joystick and DP con- trol module, thrust magnitude and direction display, color monitor and integrated navigation computer. The ROBMASTER I is supplied with a number of standard features which incorporate a track ball for easy operator interface; pooling, weighing and filtering of position reference information based upon repeatability, scatter and probabil- ity; automatic reallocation of thrust to operative propulsion units in the event of shutdown of any unit; and provisions for a predefined second- ary DP position for use as an "opera- tion abort." ROBMASTER I is simple to up- grade by adding "off-the-shelf' soft- ware modules that provide job spe- cific operational functions. Other options include vessel power man- agement, an operator trainer simu- lator, and direct transfer of controls between the ROBMASTER and Robertson remote control units. Full DP control functions are available at remotes, as well as selection of vessel heading, rotation point, and minimum power modes. The DP display can also be integrated with the company's Electronic Chart Dis- play and Information System (ECDIS).
