AWAIS-1 AIS is a widely used automatic identification system on ships, complying with the AIS Class-A standards specified by IMO, IALA and ITU. The automatic identification system integrates the capabilities of navigation information collection, RF transmission and reception, and electronic charting system. It divides the time into frames and then into slots, according to the self-organized time division multiple address technology, or simply SOTDMA technology. Each AIS station automatically selects a free slot to transmit information through a VHF transmitter. After receiving the messages, a shipborne or on shore AIS station shows the message on a display. An AIS station is also capable of transmitting safety-related messages according to the AIS standards. Thus the automatic identification system bridges the information channel between ships and between ship and shore. It helps to prevent ship collisions, improves vessel traffic safety and provides mechanisms for vessel traffic management.
Our automatic identification system is mainly composed of the main unit and the MKD unit. The AIS main unit can offer functions such as VHF network listening, user data collection, own information broadcasting, vessel safety monitoring, vessel navigation information collection, user data report to PC or MKD, and responding to commands from on-shore base stations. The MKD unit of the automatic identification system ismainly designed for displaying the dynamic, static and voyage-related information of AIS network users. It can also be used for transmitting and receiving short messages, configuring the main unit and performing simple ECS functions.
Main Unit for the Automatic Identification System
The AIS main unit conforms to AIS Class-A shipborne equipment standards, and has a full support to AIS functions. Meanwhile, it can set up an automatic connection to the AIS VHF network without any other additional operation by people. The multiport RS-422 serial interfaces provided by the main unit of the automatic identification system comply with NMEA-0183 standard and are compatible with all kinds of shipborne sensors.
Powered by 24VDC (+30%~10%), the AIS main unit is compatible with most shipborne power systems. It consumes 12W power on average while the maximum instantaneous one is 40W. This allows our automatic identification system to be used for variety of vessels as well.
The main unit for our automatic identification system is built with a molded shell in compact structure. Thus, it is tightly sealed, offers good heat dissipation, and is capable of long term operation in stringent environments. Also, it features light weight and easy installation.
MKD Unit for the Automatic Identification System
The MKD unit of automatic identification system can interoperate with all types of AIS equipment with international standardized data ports. It has a friendly user interface with bilingual switch between English and Chinese. Meanwhile, MKD unit on the AIS has an HD FSTN display and a vector chart to show the adjacent vessels.
