INTERFACES COMPATIBILITY DEVICE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01C23/00 B63B49/00 

FIELD: instrument engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of navigational instrument making, and can find application in the ship navigation system control systems for provision of the interfaces electrical and information compatibility. Navigation systems interfaces compatibility device is made in the form of navigator’s console (162-M), which is a digital computing system for reception, processing and delivery of navigation information to the subscribers and display of information on the navigation system technical condition, and comprises reception and digital-to-analog conversion device (TA-M1) connected to the course indicators and lags, and intended for the speed values from the lag and the course values from the course indicators reception and conversion; analog-to-digital conversion device (165-M), connected to the ship's current coordinates determining devices and intended to the ship's current coordinates values reception, their conversion and transmission to the said interfacing device; navigation information (MRI) digital reproduction device, designed to obtain navigation information from the specified navigation instruments, received navigation information duplication and its transmission over the best communication channel, and the navigation information output device (7C-M1) for the obtained navigation information displaying, at that, the navigator’s console (162-M) is additionally connected to: ship navigation equipment of the GLONASS / GPS / WAAS satellite navigation systems users, designed for the current position, time and user's ground speed automatic determination by the GLONASS, GPS corrections satellite navigation systems and WAAS corrections distribution system signals; small-sized navigation system designed to provide the navigation tasks solving, ship and weapon systems control information support; navigation echo sounders designed to measure depths from 0.5 to 2000 m under the keel; direction finders designed to locate the ship; gyroscopic course indicators designed to maintain the set course; induction lags designed to measure the vessel speed and the distance traveled by it; radio navigation systems signals receiver; and the interfacing device. At that, enabling increase in the navigation support of naval navigational aids, released and installed on ships and vessels before the year 2000.

EFFECT: expansion of functional capabilities based on the ship's navigational system interfaces compatibility, providing higher speed of reception, processing and delivery of navigation information from the ship’s equipment, the interfaces electrical and information compatibility with the new generation interfaces.
