Introduction Welcome to the Artemis Mk6 Installer’s Guide. It explains how to install the Artemis control software onto a Type 3 Marine Processor or other type of computer, and how to use it to configure the Artemis system. For instructions on how to use Artemis, please see the Artemis Mk6 Operator’s Guide (Doc No. 94-0440-4). The System Overview on page 6 provides an introduction to the Artemis system. The System Layout section on page 8 describes possible arrangements of the system on board a vessel.
System Overview The Artemis microwave-based position reference system provides accurate positional data to marine DP (dynamic positioning) control systems. It enables automated approach and station keeping relative to a rig or platform, or to another vessel. Artemis Control Software The standard Artemis system consists of: • Manager – This Windows service running on the Artemis Control PC can be configured to run automatically after the PC powers up.
System Overview (Continued) System Operation Beacon Unit In order to provide positional data to the vessel’s DP system, the Artemis system needs to be “locked”. In this state, the antennae of the Fixed and Mobile Stations are facing each other and automatically tracking by maintaining a continuous microwave link. Used instead of a standard rotating Fixed Station on a fixed platform for absolute positioning, or on a moving platform or structure for relative positioning.
System Layout This section describes the possible layouts of the system on a vessel.

Installing the Sensors This section explains how to install the Artemis sensors and contains the following pages: • • • • • • General Considerations (page 13) Dimensions of Base Unit (page 14) External Connections to an Artemis Sensor (page 15) Installing a Mobile Station (page 16) Installing a Fixed Station (page 19) Installing a Beacon (page 24) 12
General Considerations Mounting Template A U-shaped bracket suitable for mounting the sensor should have the dimensions shown on the right. Sensor Orientation Where possible the sensor should be mounted on the centre line of the vessel. It is recommended that the centre connector and the rear mounting point be on - or parallel to - the centre line of the vessel (see below).
Dimensions of Base Unit View from Above View from Beneath View from Side Dimensions are expressed in mm 14
External Connections to an Artemis Sensor An Artemis sensor can communicate with the Control PC using either Ethernet or RS422. Refer to Re-Configuring the Sensor Communications Type on page 48 if you need to change from one type to the other.
Installing a Mobile Station Site Requirements When choosing a location for the Mobile Station: • • Avoid objects like masts, poles or even bigger structures in the direct vicinity or in front of the antenna; the Artemis positioning system requires free line of sight between the antennas of the two stations. ! To avoid damage to the antenna it is strongly recommended to mount the antenna unit in its bracket without the antenna, and mount the antenna afterwards. To mount the antenna unit in the bracket.
Installing a Mobile Station (Continued) 4. Mount the antenna with the six self-retaining M6 hexagon socket-head screws of the antenna, using a 5 mm hexagon key. ! Tightening the bolts if the antenna has not been properly positioned will damage the antenna flange of the antenna unit. If the Mobile Station is mounted at the centre line of the vessel, the bow or the stern can be used for alignment. The best alignment will be obtained when the reference object is far away.
Installing a Mobile Station (Continued) 2. Connect the operating panel to the antenna unit. 16. Disconnect the operating panel and replace the socket cap. 3. Switch the power to the Artemis Mobile station on and allow about 60 seconds for the station to start up. 17. Remove the telescope from the antenna and store it in a safe place. 4. Press Menu 1 (Operate) on the operating panel. 5.
Installing a Fixed Station Site Requirements When choosing a location for the Fixed Station: • • Avoid objects like poles or structures in the direct vicinity or in front of the antenna. Artemis requires line of sight between the antenna of the Fixed Station and the antenna of the Mobile Station. The strength of the interference depends on the distance between the transmitting and receiving antenna and the nature of the water surface. A smooth surface reflects the signal better than a choppy surface.
Installing a Fixed Station (Continued) Operation of more systems in the same area Operation of more than one system in the same area is possible in the following situations: • • Vessels have their own work sector and are not ’crossing’ each other. See below. Vessels work in the same direction, but with different frequency pairs. See right. In the diagram below, the beam sectors do not come within 10° of each other and no interference will occur.

Look through the telescope and turn the antenna gently by hand until the telescope’s vertical hairline is aligned with the reference object. 27. Press Enter; the following page appears: 37. Press the ▼key; the cursor points at the parameter CONF.PRTCTED (configuration protected). 38.
Installing a Beacon Site requirements When choosing a location for the Beacon: • • • The foreground of the beacon must be free from obstacles like masts and poles. Avoid a relatively large land path in front of the beacon. The height of the beacon must preferably be the same as the height of the Mobile Station onboard the vessel. If the beacon is installed at a significantly higher position, the use of a beacon horn antenna type ATH-010B is recommended.
Installing a Beacon (Continued) Setting Beacon Parameters with the Operating Panel The setting of the following station parameters is described: • • • • • • Station type If the frequency pair showing is not the desired frequency pair: 9.

Installing Artemis Control Software onto a Type 3 Marine Processor This section explains how to install the Artemis control software onto a Type 3 Marine Processor. If this Marine Processor has been supplied by Guidance Marine, it will have been shipped with the control software already installed. However, it may be necessary to upgrade the software with a newer version. If so, first uninstall the existing software. To Uninstall the Artemis Control Software 1.
Installing Artemis Control Software onto other Types of Computer This section explains how to install the Artemis control software onto a computer running Windows 7 that does not have a File-Based Write Filter. This PC should have the following installed: • • Full .NET Framework 4.0 or later Visual C++2012 Redistributable (x86) If this PC has been supplied by Guidance Marine, it will have been shipped with the control software already installed.
Configuring the Artemis System This section explains how to use the Service Interface program to set up the Artemis system.
Using the Artemis Service Interface The Service Interface is a tool for configuring the Artemis system. To open the Service Interface Screen Layout of the ASI The upper part of the ASI window contains fields relating to communications, as follows: 1. Ensure that the Antenna Unit is powered on and connected to the control computer. 2.
Operational Overview The Navigation Tab The Navigation tab gives an overview of the operational state of the system: the direction in which the local unit is transmitting, whether it is locked to a Remote Station, and - if so – the detected position and signal level. It also shows the configured scan limits and end limits of the local station. If the system is not locked, it allows the user to search for the Remote Station either manually or automatically.
Adding and Selecting a Remote Station The Service Interface is used to maintain a list of Remote Stations which the local station may encounter. One of the Remote Stations is then selected to be “active”, which makes it the only station which the local station can lock onto. To Add a Remote Station To Select a Remote Station 1. Click on the Remote Stations tab of the Service Interface. 1. Click on one of the entries in the Known Stations list. 2. Click the Take Command button if not already done. 2.
Changing the Network Configuration Three communication links can be configured from the Service Interface: • • • Service Interface to Manager Manager to Sensor (Antenna Unit) Manager to Validator (when available) To Make Changes to the Network Configuration 1. Click on the Network Config tab of the Service Interface. 2. Click the Disconnect button for the type of communication that you wish to modify. 3. Click the Edit button. 4. Alter the settings as required. 5.
Configuring the DP Output The main purpose of an Artemis system is to provide positioning data to the DP (Dynamic Positioning) system of a marine vessel. The Service Interface can configure up to four DP output channels from the PC running the Manager service. To Configure a DP Output Channel 1. Click on the DP Config tab of the Service Interface. 2. Click the Take Command button if not already done. 3. Select Output Channel A, B, C or D. 4. Click Edit. 5.
Configuring System Parameters The Parameters tab of the Service Interface displays a large number of settings and variables, which define how the system behaves and describe its current state. They are arranged in groups (Hardware, Operational, etc) and some of the parameters can be edited from the Service Interface. To Edit System Parameters 1. Click on the Parameters tab of the Service Interface. 2. Click the Take Command button if not already done. 3. Select the required Parameter Group. 4. Click Edit.
Information Tabs The Service Interface contains several tabs that contain read-only information about the Artemis system. The Clients Tab This gives the IP Address and Version Number of the Service Interface itself and any Dashboards currently connected. It also shows which client – if any - has control of the local station.
Configuring Artemis Dashboard This section explains how to set up the Artemis Dashboard software.
Start Up and Shut Down Start Up To Start Artemis Dashboard 1. Ensure that the local station is powered on. 2. Double-click on the Artemis Dashboard icon. (Or run the Artemis Dashboard application from: Start > All Programs > Guidance Marine Ltd > Artemis > Artemis Dashboard). 3. The Dashboard display screen will appear. If the sensor is currently suspended, the main part of the screen will be greyed out.
Using the On-Screen Keyboard The Artemis Dashboard provides an On-Screen Keyboard (OSK), which allows text to be input using only a trackball pointer or touch screen. To enable the on-screen keyboard The OSK will already be enabled if you selected this option during installation of the Dashboard. Otherwise, the OSK can be enabled and disabled by clicking F11 or by clicking Enable On Screen Keyboard/Disable On Screen Keyboard on the Dashboard Hotkeys menu.
Display Options Display View Screen Layout Mode To provide ample visibility during daytime operation and to limit glare during night shifts, the Artemis Dashboard offers two display modes: Day View and Night View. In either mode the brightness can be further adjusted by the Screen Brightness control.

Using the Operating Panel The operating panel (see below) consists of a 4 rows by 20 characters lighted liquid crystal display and a 19 keys (10 numerical keys and 9 function keys) keyboard. In practice the operating panel is only connected to a station or beacon after installation, to set parameters which are easiest set from close to the station or beacon. The operating panel may also be used during service to check or alter the settings of Mobile and Fixed Stations and Beacons.
Using the Operating Panel (Continued) Menu structure Data pages At the top of the menu structure is the MAIN MENU. For a station configured as a Mobile Station it is called MAIN MENU MOB, for a station configured as Fixed Station MAIN MENU FIX, and for a Beacon it is called MAIN MENU BCN. Data pages show Artemis data and /or parameters which cannot be changed, at least not through these pages. A particular category may contain more than one data page.
Using the Operating Panel (Continued) Instruction pages Instruction pages instruct the operator to carry out a particular action. The Enter key is pressed to acknowledge that the action has been carried out. Pressing the Menu key makes the operating panel display the station’s or beacon’s Main Menu. It can be pressed at any moment and acts as an escape key. The On/Off key is not functioning and so does not act as an on/off switch.
Re-Configuring the Sensor Communications Type Whether the Artemis sensor communicates using Ethernet or serial RS422 is determined by the position of a cable connector in relation to the Interconnection board (ICB). In order to change from one type of communication to the other, proceed as follows. ! Ensure that the sensor is disconnected from the power supply before removing the cover. Take electrostatic precautions prior to touching printed circuit boards. 1.
