1. General The Artemis control software consists of two parts, one is the actual control software that communicates with the Artemis MK5 and one human interface called “Control Panel software” Together they allows for full control over the Artemis MK5 Positioning unit. Communication between the Artemis unit and the Control Panel software is through a network connection. The “Artemis MK5 Network software package” (Network Controller) communicates with the Artemis MK5 and passes on messages to and from the CONTROL PANEL software. It also generate the serial output messages. A number of serial outputs are available and are identical to the Artemis MK IV system. In fact the Control software is the communication center between the user and the Artemis unit. Both the Control and Control Panel software runs on a standard PC with a network connection and together they fully control the Artemis MK5 unit. The Control Panel software is based on the Extended Operating Panel (EOP) as used with the Artemis MK4. Important information can be found on the main display that is visible at all time. The Controller panel software can run on multiple computers system to allow monitoring from different places. However, full control is allowed from one system, the master system. We suggest to have maximum five control panels active at the same time. A row of buttons controls the most important functions of the Artemis unit. Continues information about azimuth and distance keeps the operator up to date with the status of the position.

Page 2-2

2. Installation Control Software The control and panel software comes on a CD with the delivery of an Artemis MK5 system. The total files comprises: Varlist.lst Startup.sup A5network.ini Controlpanel.ini Buoylist.lst Directory with buoy files Alarms.txt A5Network.exe Controlpanel.exe

Installing this software you will need a CD-ROM drive. This installation requires the operator to have knowledge of installing software and setting up network cards.

Page 8: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 3-3

2.1. Installation hardware requirements The software package must be installed on a PC system with operating system (NT4/2000/XP). The minimum PC specifications are: Pentium III 64Mbyte of Ram 1 GB hard-disk 10/100MBps Network Card 2 Serial port Graphic card.

The graphics card can be a regular card, the software does not have any special requirements. However we suggest you setup your desktop with a resolution of 800x600 pixels.

2.2. Windows hardware setup For setting up the hardware the IP number for the network card must be set according to the table shown as below. The Human Machine Interface computer (HMI Computer) is the computer where you install the Controller software on. Unit Function IP Number Netmask Artemis MK5 Control Panel 192.168.44.200 255.255.255.0 HMI Computer Controller Software 192.168.44.201 255.255.255.0 The IP number of the HMI Computer must be in the range of 192.168.44.200 to 192.168.44.254 In the Network setup of your Windows Operating System you need to attach a TCP/IP protocol to the network adapter and setup the IP numbers. See windows manual or help file on doing this.

2.3. Software installation To install the software you must insert the CD in the CD-drive and run the ‘setup.exe’ program. Follow the installation instructions and restart the computer after the installation is completed. After installation create a short-cut on the desktop for easy start of the program.

3. Network Controller setup Setting up the Network Controller requires the IP numbers and HMI port number of the Artemis MK5 and HMI computer have to be filled in. The software comes with a pre-installed setup that is set for the IP numbers as listed above.

Page 9: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 3-4

If other IP numbers are used the operator needs to change the network setup in the controller software.

3.1. Starting the Network Controller software package Select the Network Controller icon from the desktop and double click it to start the software.

Page 10: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 3-5

For changing the network settings select the ‘Communications menu item. This will display the following menu:

This menu allows the user to select the communication protocol between the Artemis and the Network Controller. Earlier Artemis MK5 models can only use the ‘Standard Network’ protocol and are fitted with an PC-104 interface. The latest Artemis MK5 models uses the ‘Advanced Network’ for network control or RS422 when this option is installed. The choice Network or RS422 is next to the software selection also depending on the hardware connection on the UTP circuit. THE RS422 IS OPTIONAL IS CAN ONLY BE USED WHEN THIS OPTION IS PURCHASED. The option is protected with a software dongle fitted on the motherboard.

When the ‘Standard Network’ menu item is checked (ticked) the user can press the ‘Communication Setup’ menu item and the setup dialog for this protocol will appear. When the ‘Advanced Network’ menu item is checked (ticked) the user can press the ‘Communication Setup’ menu item and the setup dialog for this protocol will appear.

Page 11: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 3-6

When the RS422 communication is selected the ‘RS232/422’ dialog menu can be selected . The RS422 option allows for longer distances between the Artemis MK5 and the HMI.

3.2. Automatic network start-up The software is default setup for manual start-up, this means when the program is started it does not automatically connect to the Artemis unit. After installation we recommend to change this to ‘Automatic Boot’. This option can be selected in the ‘File menu’.

The settings are saved each time the software is shutdown. Under normal operation the controller should run continuously.

Page 12: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 3-7

3.3. Simulation From on version 1.6.3 a simulation tab is included in the Network Program. In this set up it is possible to set the MK5 Network program in Simulation Mode. Using the simulation mode it is possible to “Lock” with the control program to a counter station, the system will than simulate a real lock. Azimuth, Heading, Range and Signal will be shown in the control panel. The Network can be set as Mobile, Fix or Beacon. The Control Program must be set as counter station. Frequency and Address can be changed to simulate. When the simulation is enabled the Artemis control program can be locked against the counter (Network) station.In to do that the antenna, controlled from the control program, be aligned to the counter station which is 180 degrees opposite of the “start azimuth” setting. A distance can be “sailed” by setting the far range and a stop

range. A selectable speed will decrease the range which is

send to the control program.

When setting the simulation setting a warning is given which must be accepted.

Page 13: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 4-8

4. Using the controller software After setting up the software it is ready to use. The indicators on the controller display will ‘tell’ you the status of the controller. Network status is displayed on the left side and the serial port status are displayed on the right side. It must be noted that the Control software must run prior to start up the Control Panel software.

4.1. Network status lights If the status lights are red it means that the network connection to that particular part of the Artemis unit is not working properly. By clicking on the light the software will attempt to connect again to that part. If this fails for more then 3 times please check the network cables and network settings. Normal status of the lights should be green.

4.2. Serial status lights If the communications port is active it will display a green tick. The Tx or Rx led will flash according to the data transmitted or received. The small panel will indicate the type of message used on that specific port. (default is ‘none’) When pressing this panel a sample of the data is ‘grabbed’ and displayed in the ‘Data’ label below the lights.

4.3. Control panel list This list displays the names of the computers that are currently connected to the network controller and are running the Control Panel software. The number of panels connected are displayed numerical. We suggest to not connect more then 5 control panels to one network controller. One control light indicates data transmission to and from the control panels.

4.4. Data in/out These boxes show the flow of data between the Artemis and the ‘Network Controller’. During operations data should appear in both boxes.

Page 14: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 5-1

5. Control Panel setup Prior to running the Control Panel software the Control software must be installed and running. If the control software is running on a different computer you need to change the network settings of the Control Panel software, see SETUP.

5.1. Starting the Control Panel software package Select the Control Panel icon from the desktop and double click to start. The main menu display will pop-up.

5.1.1. Operating modes Idle mode : Default the MK5 starts-up in Idle mode, this mode is the “off” position. To change to stand-by or operate press the appropriate button. Standby mode : In this mode no signal is transmitted from the unit. Operate mode : In this mode the unit will transmit and “lock” if there is a counter station available. To lock to the counter station press left/right button so the antenna will point in to the right direction.

Page 15: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 5-2

Autosearch is the adviced mode to work in, the unit will automatic search for the counter station in the pre-set sector and will lock to the counter. When loosing the lock the unit will start to search automatically by scanning slowly around the last ‘lock’ position and slowly increase the scan until it reaches the set scan sector. Auto search works on the when the unit is in Operate mode !

5.2. Enlarge Display screen To read the screen from a distance a ‘big’ screen is implemented the read the distance, Azimuth and bearing . Press the ‘big’ screen button for this option.

5.3. Leakage alarm The AU is equipped with a leak alarm sensor, when water is detected in the unit an alarm will be in the display, the position LOCKED will indicate “LEAKAGE”

Page 16: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 5-3

5.4. Setup AU (Antenna Unit) To change the configuration of the connected MK5 antenna unit press Setup antenna unit. When the setup has been activated the setup tabs will cover this panel completely. The left / right controls will move to the status panel so the operator can still control the antenna movements. The network and communications status indicators has been replaced by the Left/Right controls for the antenna. The controls will disappear when the setup has been deactivated.

5.4.1. Select Station The station setup will allow the user to select a station name/number from a predefined list. The name is represent for the station code of the counter station to be used. Every station has its own file where all the parameters from that station is stored. When selecting a station the address code, frequency and buoy type will be displayed under selected station. Every setup page has a green/red indicator that shows if the setup has been changed by the user. When the indicator is green nothing has changed and red indicates the setup has been changed in the panel. To apply the new settings the button have to be pressed the changed values are send to the controller, the controller will take care of the changed setup and send it to the Artemis unit.

Page 17: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 5-4

5.4.2. Basic The basic setup allows for setting up the Artemis and enter values for the frequency pair and address code. Station Mode This field configures the Artemis in a MK4 or MK5 unit. This is required when the counter station is of a different type as the present setting. Please note that no MK3 station are supported. Frequency Pair The frequency to be used is set here. To operate a system the unit and the counter system must be set to the same frequency pair. Address Code Each Artemis unit has a address code, a fix station or beacon system is normally in standby until it receives a address code identical to the one it is set for. The range of addresses between an Artemis MKIV and MK5 station are different as indicated in the display. Antenna Movement This setting allows for changing the antenna position and enter a offset for the antenna bearing in the mobile mode. This way the user can align the antenna to bow or aft of the vessel. Scan Limits A scan sector can be set were the antenna will scan when it losses lock and is in the autosearch mode. The limits can be entered numerical for both left and right scan-limit. A graphical display will show the entered scan-limits, the green area indicated the sector which will be scanned. The settings can also be set relative to the antenna by turning the antenna left or right using the left/right buttons. Enter the most left or right settings by pressing set cur as left or set cur as right. Every setup page has a green/red indicator that shows if the setup has been changed by the user. When the indicator is green nothing has changed and red indicates the setup has to be send to the Artemis. By pressing this indicator the changed values are send to the controller, the controller will take care of the changed setup and send it to the Artemis unit.

5.4.3. Advanced In the advanced setup the user can change the more special parameters from the Artemis unit.

Figure 5–1

Station Type this indicates how the Artemis unit is configured. It can be changed to: Fix, Mobile and Beacon. TX Power Mode this indicates the transmit mode. It can be changed to: Normal, Reduced or Automatic. The default setting is Automatic. Reference Azimuth this setup allows for basic setup of your fix station where you have to set your reference azimuth of your station. Enable Gyro Compensation this will activate or deactivate the gyro compensation on a fix station. Enable Remote Control This will activate or deactivate the remote control possibility of the counter station. Enable Auto Recovery The auto recovery enables the Artemis to start in the same mode as it was operational before switching off or power loss. This mode is recommended! Enter Azimuth This value will added to the received azimuth from the fix station in order to correct for a error in the Azimuth reading. Reference Azimuth / Bearing Enter the bearing/azimuth to align the antenna to a reference point. De-Icing When activating De-Icing the heating inside the Artemis antenna will be switched on. Normal Mode This servo mode is the standard mode for the Artemis.

Page 19: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 5-6

NOTE ! The following modes should not be used in normal operation. They are used for calibration and service. Open Loop, Close Loop and Simulation Open and Close loop changes the working of the servo drive and tracking performance and should not be used unless directed by a service engineer. Simulation activates the Demo mode of the Artemis and generates simulated values. Every setup page has a green/red indicator that shows if the setup has been changed by the user. When the indicator is green nothing has changed and red indicates the setup has to be send to the Artemis. By pressing this indicator the changed values are send to the controller, the controller will take care of the changed setup and send it to the Artemis unit.

Page 21: Artemis Mk5 User Guide

Page 5-8

5.4.5. Network The network settings are as discussed in the installation part of the manual impotent for the communication with the controller. The default settings for these parameters are: - Control Panel IP 192.168.249.201 - Network Controller 192.168.249.201 - Controller Port 35000 This setup is only valid when both network controller software and control panel software are installed on the same computer. This Panel is: The Control Panel must be set as a Master or Client control panel mode. Only one master panel is allowed. When the mode is changed the control panel will request the controller software if this is allowed. When there is already an existing Master Control Panel the controller software will ignore the request and changes the mode automatically to Client mode. Only when there is no other Master control panels present it is possible to select a Master Control Panel. The Master control panel is the only panel that is allowed to change or control the Artemis station, other control panels can only ‘listen in’. Automatic Boot The automatic boot option will make sure that the control panel will automatically connects to the controller software when it starts up, else the manual boot button has to be pressed. User Settings Each Control Panel configuration can be saved and a new can be opened, this can be used to make user defined settings for each vessel or operator. Every setup page has a green/red indicator that shows if the setup has been changed by the user. When the indicator is green nothing has changed and red indicates the setup has to be send to the Artemis. By pressing this indicator the changed values are send to the controller, the controller will take care of the changed setup and send it to the Artemis unit.

5.4.6. Communications The communications setup allows the user to setup a serial In/Output for communication with external equipment. By selecting one of the 4 communication ports the user can setup the basic parameters e.g. Baud rate, Data bits, etc. The input or output message can be selected by opening the property list of the Input meg or output msg. The input messages are : Host mode commands NMEA heading messages Transparent Data Link messages

The output messages are: ASCII 16 ASCII 17 ASCII 22 BCD ADB Transparant Data Link messages

The output interval can be selected for sending messages once a second, 2 times a second or 4 times a second. For Host mode commands the interval must be set on Continues. The transparent channel is a channel from station to station which is available to the user to sent customized data. No interference with the own Artemis data will occur. This channel will be available when bother Artemis stations are MK5 A format description of the outputs can be find in appendix A of this manual. Every setup page has a green/red indicator that shows if the setup has been changed by the user. When the indicator is green nothing has changed and red indicates the setup has to be send to the Artemis.
