MDL Fanbeam® 4.2 and 5
The Fanbeam 5 Position Reference System (PRS) utilizes high-precision time-of-flight laser technology to accurately determine a vessel’s position relative to custom-mounted reflectors on offshore rigs, installations, or other vessels. This positioning data is then transmitted to the Dynamic Positioning (DP) system, which adjusts the vessel’s thrusters to maintain stability during operations. With its advanced laser unit, custom reflectors, and Fanbeam Controller 4.0 software, Fanbeam 5 has become a leading choice for laser-based PRS. Its versatile data outputs and seamless integration with DP systems and other sensors make it ideal for precise station-keeping and controlled vessel movements.
Key Features
- Precision Laser Targeting: The Fanbeam 5 unit emits invisible laser pulses, reflecting off custom-mounted reflectors on rigs and vessels to ensure accurate position determination.
- False Observation Rejection: Advanced Fanbeam Controller 4.0 software filters out false observations from personnel or reflective surfaces, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
- Pre-Programmed Range Filtering: Operators can set range limits in advance to automatically eliminate observations beyond the defined range, improving accuracy.
- On-Screen Alerts: Real-time visual indicators notify operators of potential false readings, ensuring precise data collection.
- Versatile Reflector Options:
- Tube reflectors provide 360° coverage for short-range operations.
- Prism clusters ensure reliable positioning up to 2000 meters for long-range applications.
- Auto-Level Filtering: The system automatically adjusts its filtering settings in response to changing environmental conditions, maintaining optimal performance.
- Laser Tilt Adjustment: Operators can manually adjust laser tilt during operations, enhancing real-time positioning accuracy.
- USB Documentation: The system package includes a USB drive with installation, operation, and software manuals for quick access to essential information.
Core Principles
- Seamless Control: Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPOs) benefit from intuitive, high-speed software that is easily configurable, providing automation, real-time alerts, and performance indicators for enhanced operational confidence.
- Swift Responsiveness: Given the unpredictability of sea conditions and the complexity of each operation, DPOs need full control over laser tilt, target acquisition, filtering, and sensor adjustments to ensure precise positioning.
Benefits
- Improved Positioning Accuracy: Eliminates false readings and enhances vessel stability, reducing operational risks.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Automated filtering and on-screen alerts streamline operations, minimizing manual intervention.
- Versatile Application: Custom reflector options allow for adaptation to different operational ranges, from short to long distances.
- Seamless Integration: Works effortlessly with Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems, ensuring reliable vessel control.
- User-Friendly Maintenance & Setup: Pre-configurable software and a USB manual provide easy setup and ongoing system support.
