Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 New IEC 61162-1 sentences This subchapter contains a description of proposed IEC 61162-1 sentences due to AIS. Reference is made to IEC 61193-2, 2001, annex B2 and IEC/PAS 61162-100. ABK – Addressed and binary broadcast acknowledgement The ABK-sentence is generated when a transaction, initiated by reception of an ABM, AIR, or BBM sentence, is completed or terminated.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual NOTE 3 This indicates to the external application the type of ITU-R M.1371 message that this ABK sentence is addressing. Also see the message IDs listed in NOTE 4. NOTE 4 The message sequence number, together with the ITU-R M.1371 message ID and MMSI of the addressed AIS unit, uniquely identifies a previously received ABM, AIR, or BBM sentence. Generation of an ABK-sentence makes a sequential message identifier available for reuse. The ITU-R M.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 ABM – Addressed Binary and safety related message This sentence supports ITU-R M.1371 messages 6 and 12. It provides an external application with a means to exchange data using an AIS. The message data is defined by the application only – not the AIS. This message offers great flexibility for implementing system functions that use the AIS like a communications device.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual may use null fields for fields that have not changed, such as fields 4, 5, and 6. NOTE 2 This sequential message identifier serves two purposes. It is both an IEC 61162-1 "sequential message identifier field," and it is the "sequence number" utilised by the ITU-R M.1371 in message types 6 and 12. The range of this field is restricted by ITU-R M.1371 to the range of 0 to 3. This sequential message identifier and the destination MMSI uniquely identifies a message.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 provides the current channel management information retained by the AIS unit. The information contained in this sentence is similar to the information contained in an ITU-R M.1371 message 22. The information contained in this sentence directly relates to the "Initialisation Phase" and "Dual Channel operation and Channel management" of the AIS unit as described in ITU-R M.1371. NOTE 1 This is used to bind the contents of the ACA and ACS sentences together.

Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 The success or failure of the interrogation broadcast is determined by the external application's assessment of the combined reception of the ABK-sentence and future VDM-sentences provided by the AIS via the Presentation Interface. After receiving this AIR-sentence, the AIS should broadcast a message 15 within 4 s, and the addressed AIS should take no more than an additional 4 s to respond – a total of 8 s.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual with alternative data structures, this message subsection identifier must be provided, so that the correct sub-division of the message data is provided. If the message structure is not sub-divided into different structures, this field should be null. NOTE 4 This identifies the second distant AIS being interrogated. Only one message may be requested from the second AIS. The MMSI of the second AIS may be the same MMSI as the first AIS.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 NOTE 2 The Sequential Message Identifier provides a message identification number from 0 to 9 that is sequentially assigned as needed. Note that this is only a sequential message identifier. This is used differently than the "Message sequence identifier" of an ABM sentence. This identifier is incremented for each new multi-sentence message. The count resets to 0, after 9 is used.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual NOTE 1 This is used to bind the contents of the LRI and LRF sentences together. The LRF sentence shall immediately follow the LRI sentence and use the same sequence number. The requestor process shall increment the sequence number each time a LRI/LRF pair is created. The sequencing process shall continuously increment. After "9" is used, the process shall begin again at "0". If the LRI and LRF sequence numbers are different, the Long-range interrogation is not valid.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 LRF – Long Range Function This sentence is used in both long-range interrogation requests and long-range interrogation replies. The LRF-sentence is the second sentence of the long-range interrogation request pair, LRI and LRF (See the LRI-sentence.). The LRF-sentence is also the first sentence of the long-range interrogation reply. The minimum reply consists of a LRF-sentence followed by a LR1-sentence.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual E = Course over ground F = Speed over ground I = Destination and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) O = Draught P = Ship/Cargo U = Ship's: length, breadth, type W = Persons on board NOTE 3 The "Function Reply Status" field provides the status characters for the "Function Request" information. When a long-range interrogation request is originated, the "Function Reply Status" field should be null.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 NOTE 3 The characters that can be used are listed in IEC 61162-1, table 2. Some characters in this table are the reserved characters listed in IEC 61162-1, table 1. Reserved characters may be used, but they must be represented using the "^-method" (See IEC 61162-1, § 5.1.3.). The individual information items shall be a null field, if any one of the following three conditions exist: The information item was not requested.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual LR3 – Long-range Reply for function requests "I, O, P, U and W" The LR3-sentence contains the information requested by the "I, O, P, U, and W" function identification characters (see the LRF-sentence). NOTE 1 If the sentence is used, the two fields, Sequence Number and MMSI of responder, are always provided. NOTE 2 The sequence number should be the same number as the sequence number of the LRI and LRF sentences that initiated this reply.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 SSD – Ship Static Data This sentence is used to enter static parameters into a shipboard AIS. The parameters in this sentence support a number of the ITU-R M.1371 messages. NOTE 1 Ship call sign. A null field indicates that the previously entered call sign is unchanged. The string of characters "@@@@@@@" are used to indicate that the call sign is not available. NOTE 2 The characters that can be used in the name are listed in the ITU-R M.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual receiving applications that, if set to "available" the transmitting station conforms, at least, to the minimum keyboard and display requirements. The DTE indicator is only used as information provided to the application layer – indicating that the transmitting station is available for communications. On the transmitting side, the DTE indicator may be set by an external application using this sentence.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 message. This allows for the possibility that other sentences might be interleaved with the message sentences that, taken collectively, contain a single message. This field shall be a null field when messages fit into one sentence. NOTE 3 The AIS message reception channel is indicated as either "A" or "B." This channel indication is relative to the operating conditions of the AIS when the packet is received.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual used. For a message requiring multiple sentences, each sentence of the message contains the same sequential message identification number. It is used to identify the sentences containing portions of the same message. This allows for the possibility that other sentences might be interleaved with the message sentences that, taken collectively, contain a single message. This field shall be a null field when a message fits into one sentence.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 NOTE 1 Type of ship and cargo category are defined in ITU-R M.1371. The description of ship and cargo are indicated by a number. The values are defined in ITU-R M.1371, message 5. A null field indicates that this is unchanged. NOTE 2 Draught is reported in the range of 0 to 25,5 metres.

To avoid possible confusion caused by repetition of satellite ID numbers when using multiple satellite systems, the following convention has been adopted: GPS satellites are identified by their PRN numbers, which range from 1 to 32. The WAAS system has reserved numbers 33 – 64 to identify its satellites. The numbers 65 – 96 are reserved for GLONASS satellites.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual 7 = Manual input mode 8 = Simulator mode The GPS Quality Indicator shall not be a null field. NOTE 2 Time in seconds since last SC104 type 1 or 9 update, null field when DGPS is not used. NOTE 3 Geoidal separation: the difference between the WGS-84 earth ellipsoid surface and mean sea level (geoid) surface, " – " = mean sea level surface below the WGS-84 ellipsoid surface. Utc of position, Latitude, Longitude and GPS quality is the only fields that are used by the AIS.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 GNS – GNSS fix data Fix data for single or combined satellite navigation systems (GNSS). This sentence provides fix data for GPS, GLONASS, possible future satellite systems and systems combining these. This sentence could be used with the talker identification of GP for GPS, GL for GLONASS, GN for GNSS combined systems, as well as future identifiers. Some fields may be null fields for certain applications, as described below.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual D = Differential. Satellite system used in differential mode in position fix. P = Precise. Satellite system used in precision mode. Precision mode is defined as: no deliberate degradation (such as Selective Availability), and higher resolution code (P-code) is used to compute position fix. R = Real Time Kinematic. Satellite system used in RTK mode with fixed integers. F = Float RTK. Satellite system used in real time kinematic mode with floating integers.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 b) Age of Differential Data For GPS differential data: This value is the average of the most recent differential corrections in use. When only RTCM SC104 Type 1 corrections are used, the age is that of the most recent Type 1 correction. When RTCM SC104 Type 9 corrections are used solely, or in combination with Type 1 corrections, the age is the average of the most recent corrections for the satellites used. Null field when Differential GPS is not used.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual OSD Own ship data IMO Resolution A.477 and MSC 64(67), Annex 1 and Annex 3. Heading, course, speed, set and drift summary. Useful for, but not limited to radar/ARPA applications. OSD gives the movement vector of the ship based on the sensors and parameters in use. NOTE Reference systems on which the calculation of vessel course and speed is based.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 NOTE 1 Easterly variation (E) subtracts from true course. Westerly variation (W) adds to true course. NOTE 2 Positioning system Mode indicator: A = Autonomous mode D = Differential mode E = Estimated (dead reckoning) mode M = Manual input mode S = Simulator mode N = Data not valid NOTE 3 The positioning system Mode indicator field supplements the positioning system Status field (field No.
Simrad AI80 Installation Manual NOTE 1 Text messages may consist of the transmission of multiple messages all containing identical field formats. The first field specifies the total number of messages, minimum value = 1. The second field identifies the order of this message (message number), minimum value = 1. For efficiency, it is recommended that null fields be used in the additional sentences, otherwise data is unchanged from the first sentence.
Appendix B - Digital Interface IEC 61162-1 VTG – Course over ground and ground speed The actual course and speed relative to the ground. NOTE Positioning system Mode indicator: A = Autonomous mode D = Differential mode E = Estimated (dead reckoning) mode M = Manual input mode S = Simulator mode N = Data not valid The positioning system Mode indicator field shall not be a null field.
