CLC/SR 80 - Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems

IEC 61162-1:2024 contains the requirements for data communication between maritime electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via an appropriate system. This document is intended to support one-way serial data transmission from a single talker to one or more listeners. These data are in printable ASCII form and can include information such as position, speed, depth, frequency allocation, etc. Typical messages can be from about 11 to a maximum of 79 characters in length and generally require transmission no more rapidly than one message per second. The electrical definitions in this document are not intended to accommodate high-bandwidth applications such as radar or video imagery, or intensive database or file transfer applications. Since there is no provision for guaranteed delivery of messages and only limited error checking capability, it is important this document is used with caution in all safety applications. For applications where a faster transmission rate is necessary, IEC 61162-2 applies. For applications to shore based equipment of the automatic identification system (AIS) the IEC 62320 series applies.

IEC 61162-450:2024 specifies interface requirements and methods of test for high speed communication between shipboard navigation and radiocommunication equipment as well as between such systems and other ship systems that need to communicate with navigation and radio-communication equipment.

IEC 61162-2:2024 contains the requirements for data communication between maritime electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via an appropriate interface. This document is intended to support one-way serial data transmission from a single talker to one or more listeners. This data is in printable ASCII form and can include any information as specified by approved sentences or information coded according to the rules for proprietary sentences. Typical messages can be from 11 to a maximum of 79 characters in length and generally require repetition rates up to once per 20 ms. The electrical definitions in this document are intended to accommodate higher data rates than are specified in IEC 61162-1. Since there is no provision for guaranteed delivery of messages and only limited error-checking capability, it is important this document is used with caution in all safety applications.

It specifies the content, structure, and metadata needed for creating fully S-100 compliant route plan information and its portrayal within an S-100-based application. The IHO manages all numbers for S-100 compliant product specifications and has assigned S-421 for this route plan IEC standard. This document specifies only a data format for the route plan exchange. This document does not specify a data format of vessel monitoring and logging information. This information can be provided by other mechanisms or be specified in other standards. The format of the route plan exchange includes some limited vessel static information. When more static information is required, it can be obtained by other methods such as AIS.

This part of IEC 61162 is based upon the NMEA 2000 standard. The NMEA 2000 standard contains the requirements for the minimum implementation of a serial-data communications network to interconnect marine electronic equipment onboard vessels. Equipment designed to this standard will have the ability to share data, including commands and status, with other compatible equipment over a single signalling channel. Data messages are transmitted as a series of data frames, each with robust error check confirmed frame delivery and guaranteed latency times. As the actual data content of a data frame is at best 50 % of the transmitted bits, this standard is primarily intended to support relatively brief data messages, which may be periodic, transmitted as needed, or on-demand by use of query commands. Typical data includes discrete parameters such as position latitude and longitude, GPS status values, steering commands to autopilots, finite parameter lists such as waypoints, and moderately sized blocks of data such as electronic chart database updates. This standard is not necessarily intended to support high-bandwidth applications such as radar, electronic chart or other video data, or other intensive database or file transfer applications. This standard defines all of the pertinent layers of the International Standards Organisation Open Systems Interconnect (ISO/OSI) model, from the application layer to the physical layer, necessary to implement the required IEC 61162-3 network functionality. This standard defines data formats, network protocol, and the minimum physical layer necessary for devices to interface. SOLAS applications shall employ redundant designs (for instance dual networks, redundant network interface circuits) to reduce the impact of single point failures. The NMEA 2000 standard provides the fundamental tools and methods to support redundant equipment, buses and messaging. Specific shipboard installation designs are beyond the scope of this standard, however some guidance is given in Annex A.

Specifies a minimum set of tests to be done, test results to be achieved and documents that shall be available for all implementations of general protocol software and applications that are compliant with the EN 61162-4 standard.

Specifies the minimum performance requirements for testing and required test results for conformance of radar not fully compliant with the IMO Performance Standard for radar/radar plotting (MSC.64(67)). Covers radar classes A, B and C. Is based on EN 60872, EN 60936 and takes into account EN 60945.

Specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results conforming to performance standards not inferior to those adopted by the IMO in resolution MSC.114(73). Takes into account IMO resolution A.694(17) and is associated with EN 60945.

Specifies the minimum performance standards, methods of testing and required test results for GPS shipborne receiver equipment, based on the relevant IMO Resolution, which uses the signals from the United States of America, Department of Defence (US DOD), Global Positioning System (GPS) in order to determine position.

Specifies minimum performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results for general requirements which can be applied to those characteristics common to the following equipment: shipborne radio equipment, shipborne navigational equipment, and, for EMC only, all other bridge-mounted equipment, equipment in close proximity to receiving antennas, and equipment capable of interfering with safe navigation of the ship and with radiocommunications

This standard series, EN 61162-400 and upwards, specifies a communication protocol for use in interconnected maritime systems. Specifies an interface description language for use together with the protocol, a set of rules for the use of this language and a set of standard interfaces described in the language. Provides a test plan and list of required documents for equipment using this standard. This part of EN 61162 gives a general overview of the functionality of the protocol and provides definitions common to the other fragments of the standard.

Defines the general requirements of the T-profile and three implementations of the T-profile over the Internet V4 (IPV4) protocol suite.

Describes the application profile of the communication protocol which is the basis for the communication system. Relies on the realization of layers 1 to 4 (the T-profile) as described in part 410.

Specifies the requirement for and basic components of the EN 61162-4 series companion standards. These components are referred to as a) PCS (PISCES companion standards); b) PCSDL (PCS description language); c) function block description; d) PFS (PISCES foundation specifications).

Specifies the performance requirements, technical characteristics, operational requirements, methods of testing and required test results for shipborne automatic transponder system installations using VHF digital selective calling (DSC) techniques.

Contains the requirements for data communication between maritime electronic instruments, navigation and radiocommunication equipment when interconnected via an appropriate interface. Supports one-way serial data transmission from a single talker to one or more listeners.
