1.1.1.2 Double and Multiple Systems – System Redundancy -
Double or multiple systems are configured as redundant systems.
Malfunctions or device failures are compensated via the redundant system
configuration (Figure 1-3 depicts a system overview).
The Radar system consists of the following parts
− Two Pedestals (Nautoscan NX)
The X-Band Pedestal is equipped with an 6ft or 8ft antenna
The S-Band Pedestal is equipped with an 12ft antenna.
Both variants Nautoscan NX UP and DOWN are available. A continuous
PMU monitoring is included.
− Two Transceivers
The transceiver represents the transmitter and receiver within the Radar
signal transmission chain. Depending on the equipment type the
transceiver is either located in the Pedestal (UP Pedestal) or in a
separate housing (DOWN Pedestal).
− Two Navigational Sensor Device Interfaces (NautoPlex 8plus8)
The NautoPlex 8plus8 represents the central system interface for
reading and writing the navigational sensor device information.
All sensor data is read and transmitted to the system network.
− LAN (Local Area Network) and Data Distribution
The system is equipped with a Local Area Network (LAN)
The data distribution is made via two 24 Port Ethernet switches.
− Operation
The Radar system is operated at two or more multifunction consoles
(MFC). The MFC equipment features;
a TFT display (19“ or 26“), a trackball, a Radar operator panel, optional
