1 Technical Description
1.1 Intended Purpose

The PilotStar Interface Unit is only usable in combination with the PilotStar NX. The
PilotStar Interface Unit interfaces all signals that are necessary to control a rudder
steering system. The PilotStar Interface Unit fulfils the following functions:
 Converting serial data into CAN bus format
 Comparing the difference between set and actual rudder values
 Control of the rudder steering system
The PilotStar Interface Unit consists of a I/O PCB and a CPU PCB. Plugs interconnect
both PCBs. At the bottom of the aluminium casing are 12 shielding clamps for cable fixing.

Service Manual
1.2 System Overview

The PilotStar Interface Unit provides interfaces for PilotStar NX and has the function of a
FU-Amplifier. Set rudder values data from the PilotStar NX via a dual CAN bus or from
hand wheel or tiller via the single CAN bus; actual rudder values comprise data from the
single CAN bus or from the analog feedback input.
Position input is not applicable for PilotStar NX.

Plug Relay Name Function
B13 System Alarm Indicates a failure within the PilotStar Interface Unit and its
signal processing
B17 Central Alarm (For some classification societies only)

The PilotStar Operator Unit transmits a central alarm to the
PilotStar Interface Unit. A central alarm is a group of
different alarms. The PilotStar Interface Unit activates this
relay if the alarm is active. This relay is inactive, if the alarm
is no longer present and acknowledged.
B20 Wirebreak Alarm Indicates corrupted data on the dual CAN bus, and from the
analog or digital feedback, which could be:
 Invalid analog feedback values
 Single CAN bus communication is down
 Dual CAN bus communication is down
B26 Steering Failure Indicates an offset in the control loop (steering deviation),
which could be caused by a failure in rudder speed, rudder
direction or rudder accuracy.
B30 Autopilot Active This relay is activated for a short period when the autopilot
1/2 is requested. If the autopilot is active, this relay remains
continuously active.
B30 Central Alarm This relay is activated for a short period if the central alarm
3/4 Reset is acknowledged.
B36 Watch Alarm This relay is activated for a short period if a relevant
1/2 Reset operation is carried out at the PilotStar NX Operator Unit.

1.9 CAN Bus

The CAN bus is a Multi-Master-Bus allowing the connection of all devices and systems
regardless of their task and function. This means that any number of devices can be
connected. These devices must be designed for CAN bus technology.For the CAN bus it
is essential that every CAN bus participant is addressable via a unique address. This
address is set within each bus participant or via a component (participant) which is able to
look into the CAN bus architecture.
This CAN bus address can be set with a special Service Tool by the
service personnel only.
It cannot be changed without this tool.
Each CAN bus participant can send and receive data via the CAN bus. For data
transmission, this data is combined with a header (address from the data source, a “Heart
Beat”) and the data itself. The data is transmitted to the CAN bus cyclically.Each CAN bus
participant monitors the CAN bus to take off the relevant data.
The CAN bus must be terminated at both ends (within an application) via an ohm resistor
(120 Ohms). This terminating resistor is set by jumpers at the respective connection (see
chapter2.6 and 2.7).
The termination has always to be set between the termination terminals (T) and the CAN
LOW terminal (L).There are two types of CAN bus in an application:
 Single CAN bus
 Dual CAN bus
The difference between a Single CAN bus application and a Dual CAN bus application is
a CAN bus redundancy.In most cases the Single CAN bus is duplicated for redundancy,
but this feature is for a redundancy of the respective device not for the CAN bus itself.

► Mount PilotStar Interface Unit with casing openings

downwards.
► Open casing only in clean environment.
► Open casing only with clean hands.
WARNING Danger due to electrical current

► Switch off voltage supply before starting work.

► Secure against switching on voltage.
► Disconnect cables from any power supply before establishing
cable connection.
WARNING Danger due to installation by unqualified personnel

► Keep unqualified personnel away from the operation area.

► All operation / maintenance must be performed only by
qualified personnel.

2.1 Establish a Common Ground Point

In order to comply with the stringent EMC requirements, abide by the information given
below regarding cable connections.
Use the cable types specified.
Figure 2-1 Establish a Common Ground Connection
Make all common ground connections as shown in the figure above.

The earthing cable attached to the cable bracket must possess a cross section of
minimum 1.5 mm2.
Mount the cable bracket between two toothed washers.
Common ground connections must be free of corrosion and well fastened.

2.2 Proper Cable Connections
CAUTION Hazard due to unintended use of shielding clamp

Risk of material damage
► Do not use shielding clamp for any mechanical connection.

► Use one shielding clamp only for one cable.
Adhere the following instructions:
 Strip the cable over a length of 60 mm, see Figure 2-2.

 Do not damage the cable shielding.
 Trim the cable shield until 15 mm is left on the cable.
 Use clamp to fix the cable at the casing, see Figure 2-3.

when voltage supply is connected.
Configurations and setting changes are only possible when casing is

removed.
WARNING Danger due to voltage-regulated devices

► Switch off voltage supply if the wires have damaged insulation.

► Work on the electric system must be performed only by
qualified electricians.
► Keep moisture away from live parts.
► Do not attempt to bypass or disable fuses.
CAUTION
Hazard due to dust and dirt inside of the casing
Risk of device damage
► Open casing only in clean environment.

► Open casing only with clean hands.

The value between 2 correction points is calculated (interpolated).
The value from a correction point (mostly to starboard or mostly to
port) to the maximum of the appropriate rudder position is calculated
(extrapolated).
To set or delete a correction point he following adjustment display appears:
Cross shows actual rudder position, points show correction points and line shows
theoretic linear analog input
