Rudder Angle Indicator System
1 Description

3 3-face Indicator
4 Flush mount indicator
5 Wall mount indicator

A rudder angle indicator system consists of 3 different areas:

Measurement of the rudder angle (Fig. 2 / 1)
A feedback unit / rudder angle transmitter is used to measure the rudder angle. It is also
possible that the steering gear itself provides the rudder angle (as voltage or current
signal) to the rudder angle indicator system.
Processing of the rudder angle signals (Fig. 2 / 2)
The signal calibration box enables the calibration of the rudder angle received from the
feedback unit / rudder angle transmitter or from the steering gear.
It also offers the possibility to connect up to 10 indicators. The signals for the rudder angle
indicators can be calibrated.
Additionally, an interface for a rudder angle NMEA telegram according to IEC 61162-1 for
connection to the voyage data recorder is available.
Indication of the rudder angle (Fig. 2 / 3, 4 ,5)
Various different rudder angle indicators are available. They differ in size, scale and
protection grade.

Note
The feedback unit / rudder angle transmitter is not described in this manual, see Tab. 3.
For an overview of a supplied application, see the cable and connection diagram of the
respective order.

1.3.1 Rudder Angle Indicators, Type 136-065.NG001E01 (± 45°) /

136-065.NG002 (± 75°)
For installation, see dimensional drawing 136 D 065.HP005 in the annex, chapter 6.

Fig. 3: Rudder Angle Indicator, Type 136-065

The rudder angle indicator consists of a 3-face indicator with an average diameter of
approx. 291 mm. The measuring input is ± 10 V DC full-scale deflection for ± 45° rudder
angle (type 136-065.NG001E01) or 75° (type 136-065.NG002).
The angle indicator is intended for ceiling mounting. After being installed, the device
corresponds to the type of enclosure IP 23.
Scale illumination is ensured by LEDs and is supplied with 24 V / 3 W. The illumination can
be adjusted by means of an internal or an additional external dimmer.

1 Description

1.3.2 Dimmer, Type 148-377

For installation, see dimensional drawing 148 E 377.HP005 in the annex, chapter 6.
The dimmer is used to adjust scale illumination of the rudder angle indicators, type
136-065.NG001E01 and 136-065.NG002.
The dimmer consists of a 96 mm x 96 mm mounting plate with 2.20 kΩ potentiometer and
a rotary knob. Its load capacity is 1 W.

1.3.9 Signal Calibration Box, Type SCB-RAI 10 E01

Fig. 9: Signal Calibration Box, Type SCB-RAI 10 E01

The Signal Calibration Box (SCB) is designed to convert signals from a sensor and display
these corrected signals on 1 or more indicators. The reason for the conversion is that the
sensor and the indicators may have a certain deviation. The sensor can have an additional
deviation caused by the alignment of the sensor.
The SCB is compliant to international standards, see chapter , this means, once the SCB
is calibrated for the sensors and active indicators, sensor and indicator deviations can be
compensated.
The output for up to 10 indicators can be calibrated.
The result is a near perfect rudder angle information, corrected for mechanical and
electrical errors.

Note
Together with the SCB a Windows™ based calibration software tool is available at
Anschütz support for the technician who installs the rudder angle indicator system. This
software is not for the ship operator.

-12 / 0 / 12 V RI(min) 5 MΩ

Outputs
The signal calibration box has 10 adjustable indicator outputs:

-10 / 0 / 10 V
-12 / 0 / 12 V

Maximum load of 40 mA for all outputs combined, max 5 mA per output. The output type is
selectable by software. Maximum of 3 outputs may be shorted at the same time.

Note 1: Relative measurement of rudder angle without units (-) = bow turns to port.

Communication 1 x USB port for the adjustment software, built-in USB to

serial converter
Error detection Detectable errors:
• Power failure (internal 5 V fail)
• Out of range detection for current and voltage input
• Wire break detection for voltage input
• Wire break detection for the positive and negative
wires of the potentiometer
• Processor error, checked by watchdog

Error contact 1x relay contact opens when an error is detected.

Output signal in case of error The outputs will go to 0 V in case of an input or power er-
ror. In case of a processor error the outputs will be unde-
fined.
Input overshoot When the input signal (voltage or current) to the SCB unit
is higher than set as the set maximum value (configura-
tion software, input screen), the output signal of the SCB
unit can follow the overshoot signal to a maximum of 10°
above the set maximum value.
Internal software Corrects the input signal to a perfect signal. Sends the
perfect signal over the NMEA compatible output. Con-
verts the perfect signal per indicator output. Possibility to
adjust via the USB port.
Adjustment software Windows™ based adjustment software. Possibility to ad-
just the input and output curves. Option to generate a re-
port file.
Accuracy The complete system (from rudder shaft to indicator) can
be calibrated to accuracy less than 0.5 % (in accordance
with the standards). Accuracy over temperature range
0.2 %.

WARNING!
Danger due to dangerous situations due to incorrect adjustment,
configuration and operation of the Rudder Angle Indicator System
Risk of collisions or grounding causing serious injury and material damage
• As adjustment, configuration and operation are strongly influenced by the
steering system and its application / performance, it is mandatory that
configuration, adjustment and operation are performed by well trained,
experienced personnel only.

The SCB is configured via a software, the SCB Calibration Tool.

Note
The software can be obtained via the Anschütz support (service@anschuetz.com).

The configuration menu is divided into 4 areas:

Project Data
Contains relevant information of the ship / project.

System configuration
Any modification in that form except Input type and/or Output type will reset the curves to
default, undoing earlier calibration during this session (unless saved).
The curves are not reset until confirmed by the user.

Enables / disables channels and shows the related indicator.

NMEA-0183 configuration
The NMEA 0183 configuration is only available if the selected system type is rudder angle.
The NMEA telegram is sent after the configuration has been completed.
