1. Application and design
The NLS 3000 navigation light control panel serves for switching and monitoring up to 48 lights
onboard ships. These can be switched on or off individually. Two power supplies can provide the
power for the lights (main and backup). Selection between these two supplies can take place either
manually or automatically in the event of failure of the power supply currently in use.
The NLS 3000 navigation light control panel is in a modular design. The light modules (light switching
and monitoring) are installed in a control cabinet together with the main module (power and master
module monitoring). The control panels (conventional with buttons and LEDs or graphic with
touchscreen) can be arranged projecting.
The individual modules are interconnected via a bus cable that supplies the modules with operating
voltage.
The system is organised according to the master-slave principle. This means that a master module
collects the information from the slave modules, evaluates and manages the information and initiates
actions at the slave modules.
For this purpose, the master (main module) must know which lights must be evaluated with which
values and what actions need to be initiated in the event of failure. The system topology must also be
known. This is achieved by the configuration of the main module and is permanently stored in the
internal EEPROM. This configuration is simply written into the main module by text file transfer
(terminal or SD card via data module). The text file containing configuration data and menu texts is
arranged so that it can effectively be generated from Microsoft Excel tables.

Mounting method Top-hat rail DIN EN 50022
Weight 0.8 kg
Supply 24V DC from NLS bus
Power consumption 24V max. 0.4 A
3.2.1 General
The "8-circuit lantern module" is a communication slave within the NLS 3000 communication system.
It allows the connection of up to 8 lights/lanterns which can be switched on or off via relays with a
conventional “2-pole” glass fuse protection (5x20mm).
The current in the individual light/lantern circuit is continuously measured. These values are
transferred to the master which evaluates these values from which it derives status information for the
control panels. Should the current fail or reach the required maximum value, an alarm is generated.
3.2.2 Light/lantern circuits
The power supplies (main and backup) are supplied jointly for all 8 lights/lanterns via JN1. For
switching between the two power supplies, one switching relay for two lights respectively is arranged
downstream of this supply circuit. The respective voltage is then distributed between the individual
light circuits.
Each light/lantern circuit has a current sensor for two current ranges. The first switching operation
takes place for currents up to about 200 mA via a shunt, the second, for currents up to about 4 A, a
Hall sensor is used. Both switching operations are sensed by a microcontroller with a 10-bit analogue
circuit and made available for further processing via the FMS bus communication.
Each light/lantern circuit has a two-pole glass fuse protection (5x20mm). Each light/lantern circuit can
be switched by the microcontroller via one relay respectively. For this purpose, the commands from
the master arriving via the FMS bus communication protocol are evaluated.
The light/lantern circuits are each combined in groups of four on the output connectors JL1 and JL2
from where separate wiring to the respective lights takes place.
Each light/lantern circuit can be switched on or off via a simple mechanical “double pole” switch
independent of the microcontroller. This is also possible in the event of failed or disconnected
electronic circuits, thus enabling an emergency light backup or “fallback” operation.

How to readout and reset the operating hours counter (used for an 8
channel module)
HOUR-LED (amber): Operating hours display active
OK-LED (green): Display of the chosen channel
FAULT-LED (rot): Display the operating hours
1: Push the button “LED HOUR”. This will activate the operating hours
display. After 30 seconds “with no action” this indication will be
deactivated automatically.
2. Select single channel through DIP-switches “OFF”. Is no DIP-switch
selected, the channel will be shown one after another (in chain).
Clearing (resetting) one LED-channel is only possible, when the
dedicated DIP-switch is set (set to active)!
3. The selected channel is shown through the “OK-LED”.
4. At the same time the lowest byte value from the operating hours
counter will be shown through the “FAULT-LED”. This indication is here
binary coded!
5. Push the button “LED HOUR” a second time, the LEDs will show the
middle byte from the operating hours counter.
6. Push the button “LED HOUR” a third time, the LEDs will show the
“highest” (high-byte) from the operating hours counter.
7. Is for the fourth time the button pushed AND the button is held down for
around 5 seconds AND is the matched DIP-switch selected, the
operating hours counter will be cleared. As feedback to this action all
red and green LEDs lights up for a short time...

3.4.1 General
The "conventional control panel" is a communication slave within the NLS 3000 communication
system. It serves for display and control of the NLS, enabling lights to be switched on or off. From this
control panel, the NLS generates visual and audible alarms on faults in the light circuits or in the NLS
and system power supply.
3.4.2 Buttons
Each individual button consists of a button, a status LED arranged above and a labelling field located
on the left. The labelling field (dimmable) is backlit. Marking of the labelling fields takes place via an
insertable strip that can be adapted for various projects.
3.4.3 General buttons
For general control of the NLS 3000, permanent and configurable functions are implemented. The
associated buttons are arranged in the left section of the control panel or directly below of the ship’s
mimic indication.

VDR module
Width 72 mm
Height 104 mm

Mounting method Top-hat rail DIN EN 50022
Weight 0.3 kg
3.6.1 General
The VDR module sends data via RS485 or RS232 to a VDR (Voyage Data Recorder). The module
can alternatively be provided with drivers for RS485 or RS232.
The communication profile of the VDR interface is roughly referenced to the following specifications:
IEC 61162-1 Part 1 Single talker and multiple listeners
IEC 61162-100 Extra requirements for the UAIS
IEC 61162-102 Extra requirements for the Voyage Data Recorder
3.6.2 VDR interface
The microcontroller, an ATmega162 with two serial interfaces, communicates with the master via one
of the interfaces and with the other interface via the alternative driver provided for RS485 or RS232.
3.6.3 RS485 communication
Communication takes place via an RS485 driver module. The microcontroller takes over direct
communication with the RS485 bus and filters the messages for the VDR module. The two status
LEDs on the module indicate the status of the RS485 interface:
Green LED: Module status scanned by master
Red LED: Communication problem or timeout

3.8.1 General
The data module serves for the storage of configuration data and data occurring in the operation of
AFMS3000 on an SD memory card. For this purpose, the module contains its own microcontroller,
which makes reading and writing of the SD memory card independent of the higher-level system.
Integration into the system takes place via a special interface.
3.8.2 Power supply
The module receives its 5V power for supplying the microcontroller via the interface. From this
voltage, 3.3V is generated internally for supplying the SD memory card.
3.8.3 Connector
Communication takes place via an RS232 driver module. The data module is also supplied with 5V
operating voltage via the connector.
3.8.4 LEDs
Three status LEDs are provided on the back of the module:
Green LED: Module ok, access to SD card file system possible
Yellow LED: File open for reading or writing
Red LED: Read or write operation, fault on steady light indication
3.8.5 SD memory card slot
A slot is provided at the rear of the module for receiving an SD memory card. This locks in place after
it is pushed into the slot. The memory card can be removed by exerting light pressure on the same.
