2 Introduction to EMES60
2.1 Summary
EMES60 is a combined electromagnetic speed log and echosounder navigation
system. It is a single sensor with two transducers in one housing.
Both parts have been designed to meet the relevant international standards and
provide all the modern and legacy input-output interfaces that are s pecified by
the IMO standards.
As required by the relevant regulations, the two parts are totally separated
internally.
The main advantage of this arrangement is that the system only needs one hull
penetration, and one set of mounting hardware, thus increasing reliability and
reducing costs of installation and maintenance.
The size and weight of the sensor is significantly less than other systems on the
market, which greatly facilitates installation and handling.
2.2 Highlights
• Only one hull penetration, which increases safety of navigation
• Small overall diameter of sensor, requiring small hull penetration, which
minimizes the risk of mechanical damage
• Sophisticated analog and digital signal processing, which provides reliable
data in any navigation conditions
• All modern and legacy input-output interfaces are supported, including
IEC61162-1
• Sound speed calibration based on temperature, which provides accurate
depth measurements in different conditions without the need for manual
adjustments
• Includes water temperature sensor, accurate to 1°C
• Optimized electromagnetic log operational parameters, which provides
accurate speed through water measurements in different water conditions,
such as sea water, river water, and brackish water

3 Operation, generic
3.1 HMI Touch-Screen Controls
Reading the speed and depth information from the system, and configuring the
system for use, is done through the touch-screen display units, called “humanmachine interface” (HMI) units.
Data is also sent to external equipment using a range of standard communication
protocols an d data formats.
Two HMI Units are usually fitted, both of which can run both the echosounder and
speed log parts of the system, but typically one is configured to run the
echosounder, and the other is configured to run the speed log.
The HMI Units use touch-screen technology, so that controlling the system is done
by touching the relevant part of the HMI Unit screen.
The structure and operation of both HMI units is similar. The examples below are
from the echosounder, but the principles are the same for the speed log.

3.8 Alerts
Alerts basics
If a value goes over a minimum or maximum limit, or functional failure occurs, an
alert will be triggered. This causes the following things to happen:
• A flashing text indicator is shown in a
prominent position on the screen
• The alert state is logged to an alert list, with the time stamp of the alert status
change
• The potential free relays in the Interface Unit can be activated (depending
on the settings of each relay function, ref section 6.6.4). These can be used
to trigger audible alerts or set alerts in other systems.
To acknowledge an alert, causing the on-screen warning to disappear, touch the
flashing warning box. More than one alert condition could be in place at the same
time, so it may be necessary to repeat this procedure to acknowledge the other
alerts.
The alert parameters are adjusted, controlled and monitored using the Alert
screens, ref sections 4.4 and 5.4
The “loudspeaker” button is on provided in the
second line of each screen. The color of the
button depends on the existing alarm
conditions. If any alarm condition exists – the
button is red, otherwise – grey.
Touch the “loudspeaker” button and the active
alarms list will appear.
Alarm status can be “Active” or “Inactive”
Acknowledge status can be “A”
(Acknowledged) or “N” (Not acknowledged)
This way it is always possible to check the alarms
status after they has been acknowledged.
Generic alert conditions
There are several alert types, which are common for both echosounder and speed
log systems.
14
These are:
Void

Demo and simulation modes are set in the
Home screens; touch the mode button and
select the required mode.
Warning: ensure that the mode is set to Normal
when EMES60 is used for navigation.
The available modes are:
• Normal: the information shown in the screens and the outputs from the
external interfaces are driven by the measurements made by the speed log
and echo sounder sensors.
• Demo: the screens are driven by artificial speed log and echo sounder data,
which is computed inside the EMES60 software. This mode is supposed to be
used for presentations.
• Simul: simulation mode; in this mode, the screens and outputs are also driven
by data computed by the EMES60 software, but the operator can program
the parameters of the data that is shown and output.
This is useful for training and checking the connections to the external
equipment, when real data from the sensor head is not available.
To set the simulation parameters: select simulation mode, then go back to
screen 1. Click in the area of the digital depth (or digital speed) indicator –

afterwards.
Screen layout
It is possible to enable/disable sources of the input information to be displayed in
the monitoring window.
The messages in the Input window are marked by red color in case:
• Message is not recognized by EMES60 (ref 8.5.3 for details )
• Message contains wrong checksum
• Message contains illegal characters (corrupted message)
If all received messages are corrupted, this may indicate bad connection
between the Interface Unit and the HMI. If only sensor messages are corrupted, this
may indicate bad connection between the Sensor Unit and the Interface Unit.
One of the most probable reasons would be wrong connection of A and B nodes
or bad contact in the connector.

EMES60 can accommodate the second echosounder Sensor Unit,
which can be connected to the NMES channel 3. If dual transducer
installation is active, the baud rate of the NMEA channel 3 is
automatically set to 115000 – to communicate to the sensor.
Touch the vessel icon – to toggle between the Single and Double
Sensor Unit installations.
Normally one of the transducers is installed in front of the vessel (Fore)
and the secondary – Aft the ship.
If double transducer installation is selected, one of the
Pulse inputs must be configured as the Transducer selector,
ref 4.6.5. The level on this pulse input will control which
sensor unit is active. If the level is low, the Fore Sensor is
active. If the level is high – The Aft Sensor is active.
Ref 8.2.6 for connecting the control switch.
Reset to default settings
The default settings of the Interface Unit can be restored to
factory default values when necessary
NMEA output setup
NMEA 0183 messages can be output on three
serial ports; use the tick-boxes to select which
messages are sent out on which serial port.
Each serial port can output any number of the
available messages. See section 8.4 for a
description of the supported output NMEA 0183
messages.
Touch the frame with indicated baud rate
value – to change the baud rate. Select one
out of:
2400; 4800; 9600; 192 00; 38400; 57600; 115200
The following inputs are available:

Pulse inputs
A signal received from an external system can be
selected to cause an action in the EMES60 system.
Each of two available pulse input channels can
be used as
• External dimming
• Alarm acknowledge
• Transducer selector (in case the dual
transducer function is active).
Touch in the area of current setting of pulse inputs
at ch1 or ch2 and select the new desired function.
Note that if both channels are set to Dimming
pulses, ch1 will act as brightness increase and ch2
will act as brightness reduce. If only one channel is
assigned to dimming function, the brightness will
be changing in cycles:
middle->max->middle->min-middle->max..etc.
If any of the Pulse input channels is set as
Transducer selector, the high level on the input
selects the secondary transducer as the data
source (if dual transducer mode has been
activated).
If Alarm reset is selected as the Pulse input
function, the pulse on the input results in alarm
acknowledge.

Analog outputs
Analog outputs can be configured to provide a
varying voltage output in response to a measured
value in the EMES60 system.
Touch the first box to switch between 0 to 10 V
voltage outp ut and 4 to 20 mA curre nt output.
The analog output can be one of:
• DBT: depth below transducer
• DBS: depth below su r face
• DBK: depth below keel
Touch the next box to enter the value that corresponds to the lowest analogue output.
For example, if ‘0.0’ is entered from the touch screen keyboard, then the l owest
analogue outpu t (0V or 4mA) is given for depth of m.
Touch the next box for the highest value. For example, if ’100.0’ is entered, then the
highest analogue output value (10V or 20mA) corresp on ds to depth of 100 m or greater.

4.7 Echosounder history screen (screen 6)
EMES60 is recording depth and all important navigational data during 30 days.
Each day is recorded into the separate file. After 30 days of recording the oldest file
will be overwritten. To change the day that is shown, touch the top-left button.
All information can be replayed directly on the HMI unit, and also all history files can
be downloade d to the external flash disk, see section 7.1
The history screen window provides a graph of depth data against time.
Touch at a point in the graph to show the data at that time; a vertical line appears
at the selected time, and the time box in the second row down shows the selected
time. The depth, important system settings and navigational data related to the
selected point of time is displayed in the lower part of the screen.
Use the arrows at the bottom of the screen navigate in the record. The single arrows
below the display area move the cursor left and right, and the double arrows move
the entire screen left and right when it is zoomed
The depth scale can be changed by touching in the area of the range scale lines.
Touching in the lower area changes the lower range. Alternatively – swiping
upwards/downwards in the graph area can be used.
