Datasheet
Navigation Controller Unit (NCU)
Description
The Type 8020 Navigation
Controller Unit (NCU) forms part of a
Data Fusion Engine, a ‘one-box’
solution designed to meet the
complete on-board requirements of
any acoustic operation.
The NCU is the interface between the
in-water acoustic instruments, sensors
and the Navigation Computer which
runs the acoustics positioning
software. In addition to accurately
time stamping incoming data from
external devices such as GPS, the
NCU also provides power and
communications for ship-borne
acoustic transceivers.
A range of hardware interface cards
are available for interfacing
Sonardyne transceivers and external
sensors. By simply plugging these
cards into the rear of the unit, the
role of the Navigation Controller Unit
can be transformed from supporting
simple to complex acoustic
operations.
For certain DP and drilling
operations, the NCU can be
configured to offer dual and triple
redundancy.
Key Features
• Interfaces all sensors and acoustic
transceivers
• Accurate time stamping for next
generation tracking methods
• Houses sensor specific interfaces
• Provides power and
communications to acoustic
transceivers
• Configurable for dual and triple
redundancy
