Retrofit of Dynamic Positioning and Joystick Systems

Brunvoll's Dynamic Positioning control system, BruCon DP, and Joystick control system, BruCon JS, are made with focus on enhanced user experience and performance. Designed for all kinds of vessels.

BruCon DP requires a very small footprint and can therefore easily be retrofitted onboard a sailing ship.

A skilled team will visit the ship and inspect the current installation after which a report with recommendations on what can be reused will be presented.

Existing DP sensors, position reference systems, UPS and cables can be utilized as a part of the new BruCon DP control system if they are fully functional and fit for purpose.

The BruCon DP system will ensure an optimum and energy efficient thruster usage with the most user friendly experience.

BruCon DP is designed for optimal thruster allocation with focus on reduced energy consumption, wear and tear.

BruCon DP follows our long traditions for in-house product development.

Intuitive system operation. Designed for low user threshold.

All basic modes of operation required from a modern DP system are included in the standard BruCon DP delivery.

In the picture to the left is the vessel Stril Mar during sea trial after being retrofitted with BruCon DP2 and Joystick systems.

A typical DP retrofit installation is shown above, illustrating the minimum replacement of control cabinets and operator stations.

Interface between BruCon DP system and existing thruster, propulsion and rudder remote control system shall be of discrete type.

Optional functions are available for more advanced DP operations:

● Follow target

● Waypoint tracking

● Wind turbine field mode

● ECO DP

● Online capability plot

Developed in-house by the Brunvoll Autonomy team with more than 20 years’ experience from the DP industry, including developing.

DP control systems for more than 300 vessels within various market segments.

The DP products are built on the fifth generation BruCon control system software platform. The same platform is used for propulsion & thruster control systems, CMS and autonomy products.

BruCon simplifies maintenance and reduces spare part stock by standardizing on «off the shelf» hardware.
