SEADP Dynamic Positioning System for Split Hopper Vessels

Split Hopper Vessel SATO GALICIA

"A combined PXI and CompactRIO platform performs real-time data acquisition, signal processing, control algorithms, and interfacing with the control panel and the electronic thrusters."

- Miguel Taboada, Seaplace S.L

The Challenge:
Controlling and keeping the position of a 1,000 m3 split hopper vessel (2,500 t displacement) during the dumping operation within a 10 m tolerance, withstanding a force six wind (25 kN), a long crested sea up to 3 m high, and sea current up to 0.5 kN.

The Solution:
Using a combined PXI and NI CompactRIO platform running on NI LabVIEW software to perform real-time data acquisition, signal processing, and control algorithms, as well as to interface with the control panel and electronic thrusters.
