SHIP MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B63H25/04 

FIELD: navigation; control of motion of sea-going ships.

SUBSTANCE: proposed system includes control selector unit, ship state sensor unit, actuator state sensor unit, computer whose input is connected with outputs control selector unit, ship state sensor unit and actuator state sensor unit. First output of computer is connected with first input of actuator unit whose second input is connected with output of control selector unit. System is additionally provided with microcontroller-processor, microcontroller-video signal shaper, monitor showing state of ship in vertical plane, monitor showing state of ship in horizontal plane and monitor showing state of ship in space. First input of microcontroller-processor is connected with output of control selector unit; its second input is connected with output of ship state sensor unit; third input is connected with output of actuator state sensor unit; fourth input is connected with second output of computer. Output of microcontroller-processor is connected with input of microprocessor-video signal shaper whose outputs are connected with inputs of monitors showing state of ship in vertical plane, in horizontal plane and in space.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability and survivability of control system.
