AHD 1200 Embedded PC
Structure and Function
V1 13
3 Structure and Function
3.1 General Function
The Embedded PC AHD 1200 is integrated into the vessel’s moni-
toring and control system and adapts device types by external
manufacturers into a Böning ship alarm, monitoring, and control
system. AHD 1200 reads supported protocols (NMEA 0182,
SAE J1939, etc.), processes them (PLC-functionality), and sends
the required information to a redundant CAN bus or for rendering
on ship displays.
In addition to the data taken immediately form the vessel, data
from external video sources can also be transmitted to displays for
viewing. The video sources can be selected with e.g. the Control
Unit for Color Displays and Monitors with Rotary Push Drive AHD-
DRM R and the Control Unit for Color Displays and Monitors with
Trackball AHD-DRM T. Additionally, operating elements for chang-
ing the displays’ video sources can be set up in the visualization
configuration.
The configuration software AHD-DeviceConfig configures the inte-
gration into the vessel’s system.
Six CAN interfaces with standardized plug connectors are available
for connecting the unit to the ship systems.
Data from external devices, such as a GPS receiver, can be read
via the RS232 interface.
3.2 Mechanical Structure
Designed for wall mounting, the Embedded PC AHD 1200 encom-
passes all the processor-controlled electronics and standardized
interface plug connections in a compact unit. A passive cooling
system eliminates the need for fans and air vents in the housing,
thus achieving a maximum degree of reliability.
The device is mounted with six M4 screws.
All device connections are pluggable and have been led to the de-
vice front, making it possible to install the device quickly and safe-
ly. The device’s frontside protection class is IP 20.
The elimination of mechanically movable components, such as
hard drives, renders the device impact resistant.
Specially developed for use on board of ships, the box is complete-
ly maintenance free.

AHD 1200 Embedded PC
Structure and Function
14 V1
3.3 Device Electronics
The Embedded PC AHD 1200’s central unit is a 1.6 GH dual core
microprocessor that reads all incoming data and requests in the
supported protocols, providing all required information via a redun-
dant CAN bus in the ship system.
All necessary data can be stored on a 4GB flash disk.
The Embedded PC AHD 1200 includes an internal voltage control
which secures the required internal supply voltage. Therefore, the
device’s supply voltage fed by the external distribution can vary
from 18 V DC to 32 V DC (24 V DC +30%/-25%).
For increased operational safety, all communications interfaces are
galvanically isolated from one another.
3.4 Interfaces
6 interfaces to the CAN bus integrate the device into the ship sys-
tem. With the Universal CAN Converter AHD-UCC and the Proto-
col Converter Modbus AHD-UIC, additional protocols can be read
via the SAS protocol used.
CAN interfaces 5 and 6 are intended for the remote bus, which
provides commands for selecting video sources and controlling the
displays from e.g. the display control units AHD-DRM R and AHD-
DRM T.
The integrated RS232 interface can be used to connect e.g. a GPS
receiver.
The video IN port (BNC, coupling) receives data from an external
video source, e.g. a camera, for viewing on a display connected to
the AHD 1200’s DVI OUT output.
The VGA interface receives data from an external video source for
viewing on a display connected to the AHD 1200’s DVI OUT out-
put.
The DVI IN interface receives data from an external video source,
e.g. radar or electronic sea chart (ECDIS), for viewing on displays
connected to the AHD 1200’s DVI OUT output.
The DVI OUT interface transmits video data for output on a con-
nected display. The maximum resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels
(XGA) or 1080 x 1024 pixels (SXGA).
Data from the video sources connected to the Video IN, VGA and
DVI IN interfaces or video data provided by the AHD 1200 can be
sent from this interface.

These interfaces are used for connecting e.g. an AHD-DPU 9,
AHD-WNL, or a printer.
These interfaces allow for connecting external storage media, a
mouse, or a keyboard for operating the displays.
The four optocoupler inputs are primarily used for accepting ac-
knowledge requests.
The five relay outputs are primarily used for switching external
alarm indicators.
3.5 Electronic Data Processing
The Embedded PC AHD 1200 reads the ship data via the vessel’s
CAN bus, processes them, and makes them available via the CAN
bus to other devices, such as displays.
During the configuration process with the configuration software
AHD-DeviceConfig, basic properties for the visualization of ship
data, their processing, and data transmission via the AHD 1200 are
configured.
When configuring the display of values and statuses, the languag-
es used for controlling the ship are set up. Furthermore, the availa-
ble units with their necessary conversions, texts for displaying sta-
tuses and formats for displaying numbers, date and time informa-
tion are set up for viewing. These can be combined for selecting
country specific display settings.
When configuring data processing, the properties of the captured
system buses, devices, and their inputs and outputs are set up.
During the configuration of the system buses, their functions (ship
alarm system, engine monitoring, watch standby system and con-
trol (conning)) are also set up. Furthermore, basic settings for trig-
gering alarms, their viewing on displays, and the activation of event
log entries are configured.
During the configuration of the devices existing in the system bus-
es, their properties as well as the motor protocols used (MTU BR
2000, MTU BR 4000, MTU Serial, SAE J1939, NMEA 0183), and
among others, basic settings for triggering and viewing alarms on
displays are set up.
Accordingly, channel types (binary, analog) are set up when confi-
guring the physical and virtual channels. With both types, the
channel’s presentation on the displays, among other things, can be
configured. With analog channels, detected sensor values, their
conversion into physical measurands, as well as alarm triggers and
sensor errors can be configured. Channels can be combined into
groups, e.g. for group alarms.
Channel and group values can be combined for user defined func-
tions and can be used for controlling e.g. relay outputs. The availa-
ble functions encompass common mathematical calculations and

special functions to use the AHD 1200 for monitoring and control-
ling ships.
Furthermore, control devices (receiver), interfaces, and relay out-
puts, are configured in the configuration.
TIP!
More information for configuring the AHD 1200 with
AHD-DeviceConfig can be found in the correspond-
ing configuration manual, which is available from
the manufacturer upon request.
TIP!
The configuration that has been set up with AHD-
DeviceConfig and stored in the device cannot be
changed e.g. from the vessel’s displays when the
device is running. You can only select preconfi-
gured settings from the ship displays.
Please contact the manufacturer or an authorized
representative, if it is necessary to change the con-
figuration.
3.6 Configuration
When configuring the AHD 1200, one must distinguish between
two configuration types:
–System configuration with AHD-DeviceConfig
–Visualization configuration with AHD Display Designer
During the ship’s system configuration with AHD-DeviceConfig, the
AHD 1200’s integration into the ship’s system is configured.
Among others, this process determines how ship data are
processed and how alarms are triggered and processed. In addi-
tion, basic settings, such as languages, units, and the presentation
of values and statuses on the ship displays are set up.
The configuration with AHD Display Designer determines how
measured values, statuses, and operating elements for controlling
the ship are rendered on suitable displays.
More information for configuring the device with AHD-DeviceConfig
can be found in the AHD-DeviceConfig operation manual and the
device’s configuration instructions.
