MS1000 Sonar Processor – Product Information
901-10327904-1.0 5
1INTRODUCTION
This document provides product information related to the
configuration and operation of the supplied PC as a MS1000 Sonar
Processor.
The MS1000 Sonar Processor is a 2U rack-mount PC system
running the MS1000 Software w/ security key as well as
incorporating an additional high performance serial card.
The processor provides a MOXA multi-protocol telemetry interface
cards for operating the digital sonar heads and altimeters available
from Kongsberg Mesotech Ltd.
The MS1000 Sonar Processor’s rugged design and reliable
performance is ideally suited for marine applications of the MS1000
systems. In addition to the sonar telemetry link, external sensors
such as GPS can be attached to the MS1000 processor using
standard serial interfaces. The system provides real-time sonar data
and sensor recording so as to allow off-line post processing and
playback.
For detailed hardware information and user manuals please consult
the documentation provided by the OEM manufacturers on the
CD/DVDs supplied with the PC. Typically the following
information is included:
1.HATTELAND DISPLAY – Product Material CD or USB
2.Moxa – Serial Board Software CD or USB
NOTE: The product configuration and peripheral type and
manufacturer are subject to change without notice. In the event of a
discrepancy between this document and configuration of the
supplied PC, the OEM documentation supplied with the PC takes
precedence.

2TYPICAL SYSTEM DIAGRAM
The figure below shows a typical ROV installation diagram with
the MS1000 processor controlling multiple sonar heads from the
topside using a RS485 serial interface. The power and telemetry
are supplied to the sonars by the ROV MUX and power distribution
system.
This configuration is typically intended for MS1000 systems using
multiple heads (only four serial channels & heads are shown).

5MS1000 SONAR SYSTEM WIRING
This section outlines the typical MS1000 system telemetry wiring
for ROV installations. The naming conventions for the telemetry
signals use the serial card signal names for the processor side of the
telemetry link and the sonar head signal names for the topside MUX
to sonar head telemetry link.

the connector used.
5.1 Serial Card pinout
The MOXA CP-114EL-I Serial Adapter card provides one DB44
pin connector for the serial telemetry. The table describing the 44
pin connector pin out is extracted from the OEM manufacturer’s
documentation and provides information for all telemetry
configuration options provided.

The Sonar Processor’s factory configuration is for 2-Wire RS485
interface and the signal naming and pinout corresponding for this
telemetry mode is as follows:
One DB44 to four DB9M adapter cable (OEM manufacturer P/N
CBL-M44M9x4-50) is supplied with each serial card to allow using
standard serial connectors for the wiring to the topside MUX. As
mentioned above, the Sonar Processor factory configuration is for
the 2-wire RS485 interface and the signal naming and pinout
corresponding for the telemetry is applicable for the system wiring.
The pinout for the DB9M connectors is as follows:
