Application of these standards 2.1 These performance standards should apply to all ECDIS equipment carried on all ships, as follows: dedicated standalone workstation. a multifunction workstation as part of an INS. 2.2 These performance standards apply to ECDIS mode of operation, ECDIS in RCDS mode of operation as specified in appendix 7 and ECDIS backup arrangements as specified in appendix 6. 2.3 Requirements for structure and format of the chart data, encryption of chart data as well as the presentation of chart data are within the scope of relevant IHO standards, including those listed in appendix 1. 2.4 In addition to the general requirements set out in resolution A.694(17), the presentation requirements set out in resolution MSC.191(79), ECDIS equipment should meet the requirements of these standards and follow the relevant guidelines on ergonomic principles adopted by the Organization. Common Reference System Introduction A system can be combined using one or more Workstation(s). Alternatives for system are: Single Workstation Multi Workstation (For example Navigation Workstation(s) and Planning Station(s)) Multi Workstation (For example Navigation Workstations) An Access Server takes care of information shared inside the System to keep Workstations consistent within the Common Reference System concept. Access Server also takes care if Workstation has privilege to make desired actions (for example if Workstation has Usage rights to change Monitored Route for System). Common Reference System concept includes following features: Shared navigation Sensors Shared Alarm management Shared Chart databases for S57 (ENC) and ARCS Shared databases for Routes, User Charts, Manual Updates, Reference Targets and Pilot Data Some user selections are shared (for example Safety contour), while some other user selections are defined separately for each Workstation. User selections used for Route planning are individual for each Workstation the Installation Parameters of System define, if the System consists of more than one workstation and in which Form No. BPM2-CME 20 F-009 NAV 306a L1 (Module 2) Rev.03 Page 2 of 15 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Copyright © 2024 PNTC Colleges.

Control of common reference system If more than one workstation has been configured to be in the system, the following window is available when pressing INITIAL SETTING button. 1. Usage rights, following option are available to request Usage right: Master, only this Workstation can be used to make selections for the Monitor mode (for example Route Monitor, User Chart Monitor mode etc.) and System use (for example Navigation sensors, ARPA target source etc.). Plan, this Workstation can be used only for Plan mode (i.e. another Workstation(s) is used for selections for the Monitor mode and System use). Multi, you have requested this Workstation to share Usage right to make selections for the Monitor mode and System use with other Workstation(s) set as Multi. Note that this is only a request for shared operation. If any other Workstation has been selected as Master, then you do not get Multi Usage Rights, but Slave Usage rights. The difference between Slave and Plan Usage rights is that Plan will stay but Slave will be changed to Multi, if the current Workstation holding Master Usage rights is changed from Master to any other alternative. 2. Sensor source, indicates the Workstation into which all the Navigation sensors are connected. If you have fully redundant System where all the sensors are connected to all Workstations, you can select which Workstation is used as a Sensor source. 3. Mode, normally in a multi Workstation environment this selection should always be "Multi Workstation". The alternative selection is "Single workstation" and it is used for two purposes: If you do not have power on in more than one Workstation, then this Workstation shall be selected for "Single workstation" mode. If you for some reason want to use this Workstation of your System temporarily as totally independent separate Workstation, then you can select "Single workstation" mode. NOTE, During the "Single workstation" mode the System do not use Common Reference System concept, everything what you do is not shared by other Workstations.

Cantimbuhan St. Poblacion, Dasmariñas City Mode of Workstations The system is defined so that information and operations can be shared within Workstations. Sharing requires that Access Server is running in the defined Workstation (this definition is an installation parameter, see the Technical Manual). Access Server requires that the defined Workstation for it is selected as Multi workstation. If something fails in Workstation(s) or in the LAN connecting the Workstations, which prevents Multi Workstation operations, it is possible to switch the mode as Single workstation. If mode of the Workstation, which is defined in Installation Parameters for Access Server, is set a Single workstation, the Access Server is stopped and the Workstation(s) continues as if they would be separate individual ECDIS systems. NOTE! When mode is Single workstation, no data harmonized nor information of user selection are shared between Workstations. Mode of Workstations The system is defined so that information and operations can be shared within Workstations.

Interpret the ECDIS start windows for sensors requested, sensors found, and selected chart data initializing System Configuration The ECDIS is able to receive information from various sensors. The ECDIS can adopt information either in analogic or in serial data format which is sent by the sensors, makes navigation calculation from received data and shows this information on Conning Display (Conning Display is an optional device). The ECDIS can be connected to up to eight sensors which send analogic data and up to eight sensors which send serial data. Information displayed on Conning display is depending on selections in ECDIS and setup in Installation Parameters of ECDIS where you can define layout of displayed information in Conning Display. There are six predefined places to locate desired windows to conning display. The center of display is fixed to show information defined by the manufacturer, but both sides of display you can select freely displayed windows. (For more information to select displayed windows, see Chapter "Installation Parameters" in technical manual of ECDIS EC 1000.) There is a figure below to show locations of user defined windows.
