Extra requirements to IEC 61162-1 for the Voyage Data Recorder

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard, but made
available to the public.
IEC-PAS 61162-102 has been processed by IEC technical committee 80: Maritime navigation
and radiocommunication equipment and systems.
The text of this PAS is based on the This PAS was approved for
following document: publication by the P-members of the
committee concerned as indicated in
the following document
Draft PAS Report on voting
80/364/PAS 80/384/RVD
Following publication of this PAS, the technical committee or subcommittee concerned will
investigate the possibility of transforming the PAS into an International Standard.

This PAS document relates to International Standards of the IEC 61162 series. The document

has been co-ordinated with the NMEA Standards Committee.

This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of 3 years starting from 2003-09.

The validity may be extended for a single 3-year period, following which it shall be revised to

become another type of normative document, or shall be withdrawn.

INTRODUCTION
This document is issued as an IEC Publicly Available Specification according to the IEC/PAS

approval process. This agreed process allows the new information needed to implement the

Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) to be placed in the public domain in a shorter time-scale than

revising the appropriate international standards.

This document provides information on sentences necessary to interface shipborne alarm

systems with the VDR. The introduction of the VDR has highlighted the limitations of the

existing alarm sentences in the IEC Standards 61162-1 and 2. The VDR is required to acquire

data on engine, cargo and deck monitoring status in addition to the navigation and

radiocommunications.
In particular, the data sources have to be identified, in a system possibly comprising several
thousand sensors.
This PAS has been developed in conjunction with the NMEA.
This PAS will be replaced at a future date by, or be included within, a revision of the
international standard IEC 61162-1.

Extra requirements to IEC 61162-1 for the Voyage Data Recorder

1 Scope
The IEC 61162-1 standard includes 4 sentence formatters for handling alarm and transducer
status data. These were originally developed to handle the data required by navigation and
radiocommunications equipment and multiple alarm systems were not envisaged.
The introduction of the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) has necessitated the interfacing to
engine, cargo and deck monitoring systems. In particular the interface to multi-point fire alarm
systems presents problems due to the large number of sensors and the need to identify
specific sources of incoming messages.
The IEC 61162-102 is the specified interface to the VDR and to permit identification of data a
series of specific sentences has been developed.
