PRODUCT NAME : YOKOGAWA PT500 AUTOPILOT E COURSE PILOT
COMPANY NAME : YOKOGAWA
MODEL NUMBER : PT500

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION : The “E Course Pilot” component or function generally involves managing and maintaining the vessel’s course. It could be a part of the system that helps in setting, monitoring, and adjusting the course of the vessel based on navigational inputs and user commands. Allows operators to set and adjust the desired course for the vessel. The system will then control the autopilot to maintain this course automatically. Provides feedback on the vessel’s current course and alerts if there are deviations from the set course or if adjustments are needed.

Integrates with navigational sensors such as GPS, gyrocompasses, or heading sensors to accurately monitor the vessel’s position and heading. It ensures that the course is adjusted as needed to stay on track. Typically includes a user interface, possibly with a display panel or controls, where operators can input and view course settings. This might be part of the autopilot’s control panel or a dedicated display unit.  Works in conjunction with other components of the PT500 autopilot system, such as the Auto Steering Unit, CPU, and I/O assemblies, to ensure coordinated operation and accurate course maintenance.
