The MGC R5 COMPASS system is IMO type approved as a

gyro compass for navigation purposes for use together

with a heading and bearing repeater. Very high reliability is

achieved by using Ring Laser Gyros with no rotational or

mechanical wear-out parts.

Typical applications

The system can be operated as an inertial navigation

system as well as a gyro compass with output of position

and heading. Linear position and velocity measurements

can then be output in up to four different points on the

vessel.

Digital I/O protocols

MGC data is available through both Ethernet interface and

serial lines enabling easy distribution of data to multiple

users on board the vessel. Output protocols for commonly

used equipment are available on five individually

configurable serial lines and five Ethernet/UDP ports.
