Anschütz PilotStar D is the professional autopilot recommen- ded for all classes of ships up to a length of 120 m. Due to most advanced steering algorithms PilotStar D is well known in the market for its excellent steering performance, accuracy and reliability.
Teklif FormuPilotStar D is used in heading or waypoint steering control in combination with an external navigation receiver. It can easily be adapted manually or by predefined parameter sets to the current environmental or ship condition and adapts automati- cally to ships speed. A constant rudder trim can be defined to compensate for drift. FIX TURN allows to perform a definable heading change to port or starboard by simply clicking a but- ton – an important feature for workboats. PilotStar D offers various interfaces that make an installation on newbuildings and retrofit applications quick and simple. Heading is input from magnetic compass (as NMEA telegram or via magnetic compass sonde) and gyro compass. Speed information is input as pulse or serial telegram. In addition the autopilot provides an interface for a central alarm system. An alarm is transferred to the central alarm panel and can be muted remotely. A steering repeater can be connected directly to PilotStar D to display both, the heading of magnetic or gyro compass.
