DPS5D | KONGSBERG (DGNSS) sensor | DPS 5D

It features a built-in L-band receiver and integrates Fugro Seastar SGG/G2 services. It utilizes a dual-system reference station network to calculate "orbit and clock" corrections, providing globally consistent sub-meter/decimeter accuracy. Through Fugro Seastar G2 services, it achieves 10-centimeter (95% CEP) accuracy globally. It supports GPS L1/L2, GLONASS L1/L2, and SBAS (such as WAAS, EGNOS) signals. It supports both GPS and GLONASS systems, expanding satellite coverage and improving signal availability and anti-interference capabilities. It performs exceptionally well, especially in environments with poor signal coverage (such as densely populated island areas, mountainous coastal areas).

  Interfaces and Communication: Ethernet, USB, NMEA 0183/2000, PROFIBUS, Modbus; supports RTCM standard input; configurable external interface output; compatible with various control systems.

  Multi-interface design: 3 serial ports (2 NMEA outputs, 1 RTCM input, supporting RS-232/RS-422 electrical isolation), Ethernet/LAN, USB (for software updates).

  Data format: Compatible with NMEA 0183 v3.0 (GGA, GLL, GSA messages, etc.) and SNMP v2.0 alarm protocol.

  Optional accessories: External display unit (supports customized graphical interface for DP operation), IALA beacon receiver.

  Environmental adaptability: Operating temperature range -15°C to +55°C (device body), GNSS antenna withstands -40°C to +85°C, meets IP30 protection rating, suitable for harsh marine environments.

  Redundancy design: Supports dual (DP Class 2) or triple redundancy (DP Class 3) architecture to ensure seamless switching in case of critical component failure and maintain continuous positioning capability.

  Power supply: 110-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, compatible with marine power systems.


  Features

  Calibration Service: Built-in L-band receiver, integrated Fugro Seastar SGG/G2 service, utilizes a dual-system reference station network to calculate "orbit and clock" calibration, providing globally consistent sub-meter/decimeter accuracy.

  User Interface: Embedded keyboard and display, optional external display unit, supports a customized graphical interface for DP operation, intuitively displaying position, heading, sensor data, and diagnostic information.

  Maintenance and Updates: Easy software updates via USB, supports regular sensor calibration (recommended annually) and performance checks, ensuring long-term reliability.

  Compatibility: Compatible with Kongsberg K-Pos dynamic positioning systems (such as DP-21, DP-31), and can work in conjunction with the C-Joy joystick control system and K-Thrust thruster control system.
