ECDIS FMD-3200, FMD-3300

The ECDIS FMD-3200 (with 19" LCD) and FMD-3300 (with 23.1" LCD) deliver great enhancement in terms of user interface as well as functionality.

The ECDIS employs intelligently arranged Graphic User Interface elements that deliver task-based operation scheme to give the operator direct access to necessary operational procedure.

Also, the new ECDIS utilises cutting edge chart-drawing engine that delivers instantaneous chart redraw with the seamless zooming and panning, hence making the ECDIS operation stress-free.

The ECDIS will also bring about streamlined chart management scheme providing easy chart management independent of the chart providers. The ECDIS is compatible with Jeppesen Dynamic Licensing and it supports the Admiralty Information Overlay (AIO).

Fully complying with the performance standard of ECDIS stipulated in IMO resolution MSC.232(82), the ECDIS is going to be a suitable candidate designated for new installation as well as retrofit to fulfill ECDIS mandatory carriage that is phasing in from July 2012 onward.

Multifunction display capability, featuring ECDIS,Conning Information Display, Radar/Chart Radar* and Alert Management System**

*a radar sensor needs to be integrated in the network.
** Radar and Alert Management System display capabilities are to be implemented as software update after product release. (option)

Instantaneous chart redraw delivered by FURUNO's advanced chart drawing engine, making redraw latency a thing of the past

Intuitive new user interface offers fast, precise route planning, monitoring and navigation data management

Interface with existing FAR-21x7/FAR28x7 series Radar for Radar overlay, target track info, route and waypoint exchange via Ethernet

*Software update on FAR-21x7/FAR-28x7 series might be necessary depending on the program number.

Complies with the following IMO and IEC regulations:

• IMO MSC.232(82)
• IMO A.694(17)
• IEC 61174 Ed. 3
• IEC 61162-1 Ed. 4
• IEC 61162-2 Ed. 1
• IEC 62288

Cartography

• IHO/S-57 Edition 3 vector chart (IHO S-63 data protection scheme)
  • Admiralty Vector Chart Service by UKHO
  • C-MAP ENC
  • Jeppesen Primar ECDIS Service
• ARCS raster chart
• C-MAP Professional+*
  *C-MAP Professional+ is a private chart, hence not construed as replacement for paper chart.
• Interface with Jeppesen Dynamic Licensing Service available
• Compatibility with Admiralty Information Overlay (AIO) for further navigation safety

Additional AIO layer includes all Admiralty Temporary and Preliminary Notices to Mariners as well as additional ENC Preliminary Notices to Mariners, i.e., reported navigational hazards that have been incorporated into paper chart but have yet to be included in ENCs. The service is free of charge as part of Admiralty Vector Chart Service (AVCS) by UKHO.

Sensor Adapter

Ease of installation and maintenance thanks to simplified cabling in the sensor-to-ECDIS/Radar interface delivered by common sensor adapter

Sensor Adapter acts as central medium to gather all the sensor data and collectively feed it to all FMD-3200/3300 ECDIS and FCR-2xx9 Chart Radar in the system.Since sensor adapter can be extended to cover all the sensors within the system, individual cablings in the sensor-to-ECDIS/Radar interface can be greatly reduced.

Navigation sensors can be directly interfaced with the ECDIS processor's 8 serial I/O ports.Sensor adapters are required under the following conditions:

• the sensor data is to be shared amongst multiple networked ECDIS and Radar systems,
• the number of sensors interfaced is more than the number of the ports the processor has (8 serial I/O ports, 1 digital IN and 6 digital OUT), and/or
• the networked sensors include analog sensors.

In order to integrate onboard sensors into the navigation network, the sensor adapter may be interfaced with the switching hub HUB-100 from which distribution of the sensor data throughout the network is possible.Alternatively, multiple sensor adapters may be interfaced via Ethernet to integrate onboard sensors for use in the shipboard network.

User Interface

FURUNO's new user interface delivers straightforward, task-based operation

Control Units
The operator control of the FMD-3200 and FMD-3300 can be done with the ECDIS Control Unit RCU-024 or the Trackball Control Unit RCU-026. All functions of the ECDIS can be accessed by using the trackball, scrollwheel and left/right clicking.

Task-based user interface realized by combination of Status bar and InstantAccess bar™ providing quick access to the needed tasks/functions

The user interface of the FMD-3200/FMD-3300 centers on carefully organized operational tools: Status bar and InstantAccess bar™. The Status bar at the top of the screen contains information about the operating status, i.e., MFD operating mode, the ECDIS operation modes, etc. InstantAccess bar™ at the left-hand side of the screen contains all the tasks (functions/actions) corresponding to the ECDIS operation mode currently selected. These operational tools deliver straightforward, task-based operation by which the
