An Integrated Navigation System (INS)

The customer required a stable system that provided redundancy and supported the ECDIS/RADAR applications needed for critical nautical systems.

Introduction

For the marine industry, ensuring the safe operation of a vessel is an ongoing process. This is also the main reason why the customer has taken steps to consolidate information from previously independent systems (for example, the radar, ECDIS, navigation, and conning systems) into an Integrated Navigation System (INS).

System Requirements

High-performance computer for marine device connectivity and high-volume data processing in conning, ECDIS, and radar systems
Meet the IEC 61174:2015 standard for ECDIS applications
Separate cables and network components on redundant networks. Independent networks and protection from network overload
Robust product design that provides reliable operation in harsh marine environments

Moxa Solution

Moxa offers proven marine solutions for your integration needs. Moxa’s full product range includes computers, displays, and network switches that are compliant with industrial standards to satisfy the demands of marine applications.

Ideal for INS applications, the high-performance MC-7270-MP-T marine computer comes with eight NMEA ports for marine device connectivity and features an Intel® Core™ i7 3555LE processor for high-volume data processing. In addition, its fanless design eliminates risk of fan failure, ensuring system reliability. For bridges with limited space, the compact design of the MC-7270-DC-CP-T marine computer is a perfect fit.

The widescreen MD-224 marine display with a 16:9 aspect ratio is compliant with the IEC 61174:2015 standard.
