New AP70/80 features
Track steering
With AP70/80 software release 1.2 the AP80 system and a Simrad CS68 ECDIS forms a fully
type approved Track steering system according to IEC62065 ed.1.
The routes are planned on and commanded by an ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display
Information System). When the system is installed and configured as described in this section,
you can start a route on the ECDIS and make the AP80 automatically keep the vessel on this
route.
The Track feature is only available after unlocking it using a key obtained from Navico. The
unlock mechanism resides in the autopilot computer board. Only after enabling this feature,
the autopilot system can form part of a certified track control system.
Refer to the Type approval certificate on the product web site for details:
pro.simrad-yachting.com.
The following requirements and limitations apply:
• The autopilot system must comprise of at least one AP80, and at least one of the following
autopilot computers: AC80A, AC80S or AC85
• The ECDIS system must be connected to the AP80 system via an SI80
• A valid unlock key must be obtained from Navico
• In a system with multiple autopilot computer boards where track feature shall be redundant,
each autopilot computer board needs a separate unlock key
The Track feature will remain unlocked after restarting the system and after later software
upgrades.
¼ Note: A factory reset of the autopilot computer will delete the unlock key and it must be re-
entered
Wiring the AP80 to an ECDIS system
Connect the NMEA 0183 serial line from the ECDIS to Ch. 3 NMEA terminal on the SI80 board.

System conguration
Conguring the ECDIS
The ECDIS system must be set up with source type set to Autopilot, and the system must be
set up to listen for TNT messages.
Configure the ECDIS system to use the same primary sources as used by the AP80 system
(Log, HDG, SOG, COG and POS).
Refer to the software/system configuration in the ECDIS manuals.
Conguring the AP80
The SI80 board uses the serial RS422 (IEC 61162 -1/2) standard. Ensure that the line is
configured to use the same baud rate as the ECDIS system.

AP70/AP80 | Addendum for sw release 1.2
Start Track steering
Before the AP80 can be used for track steering, the system must be setup and configured
according to the separate AP70/80 Installation manual. The wiring to the ECDIS system must
be according to previous section, and both the ECDIS system and the AP80 system must be
configured as previously described.
1. Steer the vessel to a position that allows the route to be started on the ECDIS system
- The route will not start if the difference between vessel heading and bearing on leg
exceeds 2*Off course limit, or if the difference between vessel heading and bearing on leg
is more than 90°
- XTD from the imaginary extension of the first leg must not exceed the deviation corridor
2. Activate the selected route on the ECDIS system
3. Once inside the track corridor, press the TRACK key on the AP80 to start automatic Track
steering.
The AP80 will remain in TRACK mode until the vessel reaches end of route, unless certain
error conditions occur which renders the system unable to continue in TRACK mode and
therefore automatically change the mode. At end of route the AP80 will automatically change
to AUTO mode with same heading as on the last leg.
Turning in TRACK mode
The AP80 receives turn information from the ECDIS system. When the vessel reaches the
arrival circle for a waypoint, the ECDIS system will give a wheel-over alarm. The autopilot will
turn the vessel according to route information independant on if the alarm is confirmed on
the ECDIS system.
Backup navigator alarm
A backup navigator alarm is available when the AP80 is connected to an ECDIS in a Track
system.
If an alarm is not acknowledged within the specified timefram e.g. “wheelover, end of route
or “track control stopped”, a backup navigator alarm can be activated to notify bridge officer
off duty. The backup navigator alarm can only be acknowledged from AP80.
To enable this feature, the autopilot system provides a configurable handshake port on SD80
or AD80 that can be connected to an external alarm panel or loudspeaker.
6 |
AP70/AP80 | Addendum for sw release 1.2
Select Backup Navigator Alarm for Handshake 1 or 2, depending on physical connection of
external switch.
Track oset
The track offset options allows for steering parallel to the track
in NAV mode.
You activate the track offset option by pressing and holding
the rotary knob on the AP70/80. The display will change to
show current distance from track (XTD) and set offset (OFF).
Turn the rotary knob to adjust the offset distance. The red line
shows the offset in relation to the track.
The system will remain in track offset mode as long as there is
an offset value. It will time out when the offset distance is set
to 0 (zero).
¼ Note: Track offset is not available in Track mode.
S-turns
When activating the S-Turn pattern the boat will yaw around the main course.
You set the selected course change before the turn is started. During the turn you can alter
the course change and the turn radius.
The main course can be changed by turning the rotary knob.
¼ Note: The S-turns are only available in AUTO mode.
Activating the S-turn option
Before the S-turns mode can be applied it must be enabled in the turn settings thus making it
available in the turn settings dialog.
| 7
AP70/AP80 | Addendum for sw release 1.2
Initiating S-turns
1. Press the TURN key to display turn options
2. Select the S-turns icon
3. Select the port or starboard turn direction in the turn dialog
Stopping S-turns
You can at any time during a turn press the STBD key to return to Standby mode and
manual steering.
Toe angle
This option sets the allowed angle deviation between the rudders. The feature will enhance
rudder efficiency at small rudder commands around center position, and it will reduce
vibration and/or propeller/water jet noise.
The toe angle is the angle between the rudders 0-position and the rudders actual position (t)
as shown in the illustration.
The toe angle will be applied as an offset to each rudder. Toe out (positive value), angles the
two rudders apart, while Toe in (negative value) angle them towards center.

8 |
AP70/AP80 | Addendum for sw release 1.2
¼ Notes:
- The toe angle is a work profile setting, and must be enabled for current work profile to be
available
- The Toe angle is only available if the vessel has 2 rudders. It applies only to rudders
located on the side of the ship - it will have no effect on a rudder located in the ship
center.
- The Toe angle is effecting all operating modes except Standby and NFU.
- When the feature is enabled, one rudder will stop moving before the other one if max/
min rudder angles are demanded
- When the feature is enabled, the rudder bar on AP70/80 and QS-/NF-/FU80 shows rudder
command instead of measured rudder angle
Minimum rudder
Some boats may have a tendency of not responding to small rudder commands around the
course keeping position because of a small rudder, a rudder deadband, whirls/disturbance of
the water-stream passing the rudder or it is a single nozzle water jet boat.
By manually adjusting the minimum rudder function, the course keeping performance might
be improved on some boats. This will however increase the rudder activity.
¼ Note: Only set a value for minimum rudder if it proves to give a better course keeping
performance in calm sea. It should be set after the autotune has been performed and a fine
tuning of the rudder parameter.
| 9
AP70/AP80 | Addendum for sw release 1.2
Pendulum feature
The pendulum feature is intended for pendulum ferries where it is required to turn the
heading 180° when the vessel is going «backwards».
The feature can be included in AP70/80 systems equipped with SD80 or AD80 boards. It can
only be used for NMEA 0183 heading sensors, RC42 and CDI80.
The function is activated by using an external switch. When the contact is closed the system
will add 180° to the heading received on the NMEA 0183 interface on SI80 and AC70. The
heading is changed before heading data enters the CAN bus network, and all instruments on
the bus will pick up the modified heading.
Conguration
The AP70/AP80 must be configured for the pendulum function as shown below.
Select Pendulum & WA for handshake 1 or 2, depending on physical connection of external
switch.

AP70/AP80 | Addendum for sw release 1.2
New FU80 features
Follow-Up dodge
This feature provides a single action method of taking manual control of the rudder in any
automatic mode. It is considered an alternative to using the lever for course change in AUTO
mode.
The feature may be used to quickly maneuver away from, or avoid, sudden hazardous
situations.
When the feature is enabled, the unit will assume command and change to FU (Follow
Up) mode if the lever is moved more than halfway to either side. This will happen in any
automatic mode, regardless of the unit’s active or passive status in the system. The rudder will
immediately begin to move to the lever position.
¼ Notes:
- The feature disables the possibility to adjust set course in AUTO mode with the lever
- The system will not be allowed to enter an automatic mode unless the lever is centered
- The feature will not work in a master system
- The feature is by default (factory) disabled
- The feature is a local setting on an FU80, and does not affect the rest of the system
(other than the mentioned behavior). With multiple FU80 units in a system, the units are
configured independently from each other.
Follow-Up on Command
This feature makes it possible to switch the autopilot system to FU mode by a single press on
the take commend button on the FU80.
Enabling the new FU80 features
The new FU features can be activated as shown in the illustration.
The feature is a local setting on FU80, and does not affect the rest of the system (other
than the behavior mentioned above). With multiple FU80 units in a system, the units are
configured independently from each other.

Update to AP70/80 Installation manual
SG05 PRO
The SG05 PRO Autopilot Computer provides autopilot control from AP70 and AP80 control
units to CAN bus/EVC steering systems.
The SG05 PRO receives sensor data (drive/rudder angle and boat speed) from the EVC, does
steering calculations and sends drive/rudder commands back to the EVC system which brings
drive/rudder to commanded angle.
Installation
The SG05 PRO Autopilot Computer has 2 SimNet ports to connect either via a drop-cable or
inline as part of the network backbone.
For Micro-C based networks use the SimNet to Micro-C (male) converter cable p/n 24005729.
