Thruster Drive

(Only applicable for Continuous and Danfoss thrusters)

For On/Off thrusters, it is important to keep thruster activity to a

minimum. TI51 therefore has a feature that adaptively adjusts

the length of each thruster command to bring the vessel back on

heading without over- or undershoot.

When setting Thruster drive to “Adaptive on/off”, this feature

will also apply for continuously type thrusters in all Work

modes (not Follow Up). For operations where the Thruster sens

can be of some degrees, on/off adaptively will reduce activity

also for continuous type thrusters.

Refer also to the Thruster gain setting for optional

performance.

Default: Continuous

Response delay

(Only applicable for Continuous and Danfoss thrusters)

This parameter determines the slope-time of the start/stop signal

to the thruster. Increased value will give softer start/stop and less

wear of the thruster. Big powerful thrusters normally need a

longer start time than small rapid thrusters.

Range: 0-2 seconds

Default: 1 second
