NOTICE! One control head at least must be provided at one of

the control stations to assure the operability of the main ship

drives in case of a joystick failure.

2.7 Operator‘s obligations

The ship's operator must test the system before every cruise.

The entire ship control system must be tested and inspected at

regular intervals in compliance to seaman's duty. This extensive

WARNING

Risk of damage to persons and property as a result of changing essential control

parameters while the ship is in motion

If the basic setup of control parameters is changed while the ship is in motion, this may lead

to sudden and uncontrolled ship movements.

O Only change basic control parameters with the engine in stop while the ship is anchored

or moored.

O Fine adjustments during a sea trial are only admissible after prior consultation of the

ship‘s captain. The safety of the crew and other waterway users must not be

endangered.

O Parameters in Marex 3D must only be changed by qualified personnel as per chapter 2.4.

Appropriate steps must be taken to prevent that control is lost over the ship as a result of

erroneous parameter entries (ensure local operation of gearbox, engine, thrusters).

CAUTION

Risk of damage to persons and property as a consequence of uncoordinated thruster

operation

There is a risk of accident if the thrusters are operated from different controls at the same

time.

O Make sure the thrusters are only operated by one person at a time.

O Disable the thruster operation at all other control stations, including any supplementary

thruster controls by other manufacturers, as long as the thrusters are being operated

from a Marex 3D control station. This is a safety requirement for ships with classification

approval.

inspection includes a test of the propulsion control and all

control stations, visual check of outdoor stations for water

tightness, a general function test as well as an inspection for the

integrity of all components, see also chapter 8, Maintenance and

Repair, on page 91.

2.8 Protective devices

2.8.1 Emergency stop

Marex 3D must only be operated with a separate emergency

stop provided on every control station. It is not included in any

of the Marex systems. It must be fully operational at all times,

especially in case of a remote control failure. Normally, the

emergency stop is part of the ship’s safety system.

2.8.2 Visual alarms and acoustic signals

Marex ship controls provide extensive self-diagnostics and

monitor permanently the condition of components and ship

drives. In case of a failure, the operator is alerted by visual and

acoustic signals on control head or joystick station. There are

different alarm signals depending on the impact of the failure on

the operability of the drives. Every alarm must be acknowledged

by pushing a corresponding key. The MarexOSIII control units

and 3D Controller provide an error display by means of which it

is possible to identify alarm causes.

Refer to chapter 10, Troubleshooting, for details on alarms

and troubleshooting within Marex 3D.

For alarms in the MarexOSII/III-system refer to the

MarexOSII service manual, chapter 3.

For Marex ECS, refer to the Marex ECS Quick Guide. See

also chapter 1.2 of this manual, Required and additional

documentation, on page 6.

4 About this product

4.1 Performance description

Marex 3D is a simple and intuitive tool for easy docking at slow

speeds. Its main operating element is a joystick which the

operator can rotate and/or push. Marex 3D converts the

movement of the joystick into movement of the ship by actuating

the available drives in an intelligent way. Marex 3D is suitable

for ships with fixed propellers.

Marex 3D features three operation modes:

In the 3D-mode, the operator uses the joystick to control the

main engines and thrusters. If an optional heading sensor is

connected, the control is able to compensate effects due to

crosswind or current and keep the heading of the ship in a

constant direction as the joystick is moved.

In the thruster mode, the joystick is used to operate the

thrusters only while the main engines are operated via a control

head.

In addition, Marex 3D features a Heading Mode function which

can be switched on by the Heading Mode key at the joystick. The

function is available only if an optional heading sensor is

connected. It allows to hold the bow of the ship automatically in

a constant direction while the joystick is released and in the

Neutral position.

Marex 3D can be operated from up to six joystick stations.

No further operating elements for thrusters are required on the

control station. The joystick combines the operation of bow and

stern thrusters so that all maneuvers can be performed with

more comfort and precision.

A software tool is available to adapt the settings of Marex 3D to

the ship’s requirements. Individual adjustments can be made

for every maneuver. For the protection of electric ON/OFF-

thrusters, it is possible to define that turning maneuvers which

are made when the ship is already in motion are executed by

using the main engines only. Warnings from alternative thruster

controls can be processed.

Trolling is also available in the 3D mode.

the 3D Controller (Joystick CAN bus). Additionally, one NMEA

2000 bus cable is connected between the 3D Controller and the

heading sensor (NMEA 2000 bus).

In applications with Marex ECS, the 3D Controller is connected

to the STATION bus line between Marex ECS control unit and the

first control head. The connection of joysticks and the heading

sensor is identical to applications with Marex OS III.

The following figures show the system setup with Marex OS III

and Marex ECS.

2 Number of CAN bus connector

3 Type of connector (male/female)
