4 Requirements and application of this standard
a)(A2/1) Track control systems in conjunction with their sources of position,heading and
speed information are intended to keep a ship automatically on a pre-planned track overground under various conditions and within the limits related to the ship’s manoeuvrability.track control system may additionally include or be combined with
– heading control;
along-track speed control (see annex B).
b) Planning the track by waypoints may be performed- as part of the track control system, or
-by importing waypoint or track data.
c) This standard applies for track control systems which can exchange data with a headingsensor,speed sensor,EPFS and/or heading controller but excludes waypoint dataexchange.
d) lf a track control system automatically receives additional data,including waypoints,from
other navigational aids,the requirements of lEC 61924 for this data exchange shall alsoapply.
e) lf a track control system is integrated into an lNS, the corresponding requirements of IlNs
(as defined in lEC 61924y.for example concerning
track planning by waypoints,
data transfer of safety-checked waypoints and
monitoring of navigational safety for example by chartsshall apply.
f) Track control does not necessarily require that ENC or other geographic data such asshallow area information be taken into consideration by the track control system.
g)(A2/2.1) These lMO Performance Standards are applicable for track control systemsworking
at ship’s speed from minimum manoeuvring speed up to 30 knots; and- at ship’s maximum rate of turn not greafer than 10/s.
h)These performance standards do not apply to HSC as defined by sOLAS chapter 10.
i)(A2/2.2)Track control systems fitted on ships shall meet all requirements of the lMo’Performance Standards (MSC.74(69) Annex 2 Recommendations on Performance
Standards for Track Control Systems) relating to straight tracks. Systems fitted on shipsrequiring curved track control shall additionally meet all the requirements relating tocurved tracks.
j)This standard applies to three categories of track control systems:
Category A: single straight leg track control or multiple straight leg track control
without assisted turns between legs;
Category B:
Multiple straight leg track control with assisted turns between legs;
Category c:Full track control on straight legs and turns.
k) Some requirements contained in this clause cannot be verified by objective measure-
ments.The manufacturer shall declare that compliance to these requirements is achievedand shall provide relevant documentation. The declaration(s), documentation and,wherenecessary,the equipment shall be checked. The manufacturer shall also declare thegeneral hardware and functional composition of the equipment and the relevant categoryof IEC 60945 for each unit.
