System Overview
The Artemis microwave-based position reference system provides accurate positional data
to marine DP (dynamic positioning) control systems. It enables automated approach and
station keeping relative to a rig or platform, or to another vessel.
Artemis Control Software
The standard Artemis system consists of:
• Manager – This Windows service running on the Artemis Control PC can be configured
to run automatically after the PC powers up. It provides a single point of control for an
Artemis sensor through which the other components communicate.
• Two identical Antenna Units (or Sensors), user-configurable as a Mobile Station and a
Fixed Station.
• The Artemis Control PC, a Windows-based marine specification computer, running the
control software.
• Artemis Client PC(s), optional computers used where more than one installation of the
Artemis Dashboard software is required.
• Hand-held Operating Panel (or Pendant).
An alternative configuration - the Beacon system - involves the same components as the
standard system except for a Beacon Unit instead of a Fixed Station. A Beacon Unit does
not provide an Azimuth measurement.
The following applications run on the Artemis Control PC, usually mounted on the bridge
near to the controls of the vessel’s DP system:
• Service Interface – Used for system installation and maintenance, it allows network
communications to be configured and parameters on an Artemis Station to be viewed and
set. It displays the state of connected Artemis Dashboard(s) and can be used to take basic
control of the station.
• Dashboard – Used to control and monitor normal system operation. Up to five instances
of the Dashboard can run simultaneously on the Control PC and Client PCs, but only one
of these can exercise control at any given time; the others can only be used to monitor the
system.
Antenna Units
The Mobile Station is mounted on the DP-Equipped vessel, ideally at the top of the main
mast. The Fixed Station is installed on a fixed platform if absolute positioning is needed or
on a moving platform or structure to provide relative positioning.
Hand-held Operating Panel (Pendant)
A hand-held unit that can be connected to a station or Beacon unit to read and set system
parameters during installation. It can also be used to view positional data once the system
is in operation. This is an optional diagnostic aid.
Artemis Service Interface
Artemis Dashboard
Explosion-Proof Antenna Unit/Beacon
An antenna unit or beacon can be made safe for operation in hazardous zone 2 conditions
with the use of a pressurisation unit. This forces clean air into the housing of the antenna
unit or beacon to prevent the ingress of explosive or flammable gases that might otherwise
be ignited by electrical sparks. Contact Guidance Marine for details.

System Overview (Continued)
System Operation
Beacon Unit
In order to provide positional data to the vessel’s DP system, the Artemis system needs to
be “locked”. In this state, the antennae of the Fixed and Mobile Stations are facing each
other and automatically tracking by maintaining a continuous microwave link.
Used instead of a standard rotating Fixed Station on a fixed platform for absolute
positioning, or on a moving platform or structure for relative positioning. The antenna
of a Beacon unit does not rotate, and three types of antenna are available for different
situations:
The distance between the sensors is obtained from the travel time of the microwave signal,
measured by means of coded interruptions in the continuous wave. The bearing of the
Fixed Station, with respect to the centre line of the vessel, is measured using a precision
shaft encoder.
The Fixed Station measures the Azimuth and reports it to the Mobile Station. The Azimuth
is the horizontal angle between a reference direction and the Mobile Station, with its vertex
at the Fixed Station.
A. Omni directional antenna with 360° beam width
B. Semi-omni antenna with waveguide, 100° beam width
C. Horn antenna with 66° beam width
Different Types of Beacon Antenna
Layout of a Standard Artemis System
The beam width of an antenna unit (Fixed or Mobile Station) is approximately 2°.

Main Screen and Bird's Eye
View (BEV)
The circular BEV depicts the operational area
of the Artemis system from above. The red dot
at the centre represents the local Antenna Unit
mounted on its vessel and the arc through which
it can rotate corresponds to the combined blue
areas. A grey exclusion zone can be configured
(using the End Limit parameters) if there is a
physical obstruction that prevents the antenna
from turning through 360°.
The current direction and movement of the radar
beam is indicated by the slim, light blue triangle.
If the local station is locked onto a remote
station, this is represented by a yellow dot. If
the remote station is configured as “Floating”
rather than “Fixed”, the outline of its vessel is also
shown (with its bow aligned to 0° azimuth).
Vessel Outlines
Where a vessel outline is shown, its direction
is significant, but its size, exact shape and the
position of the Artemis station within it are all
arbitrary and cannot be altered.
Scan Limits
If the local station is not locked onto a remote
station, and Auto Search is enabled, the beam
moves to and fro across the configured scan
sector. The size of this sector (the dark blue area)
can be adjusted (see Adjusting the Scan Sector
on page 21).
Radial Markers
These form an angular scale in degrees,
clockwise around the circumference of the BEV.
Zero is defined by the bow of the local vessel.

Display Options
Display View
Screen Layout Mode
To provide ample visibility during daytime operation and to limit glare during night shifts, the
Artemis Dashboard offers two display modes: Day View and Night View. In either mode the
brightness can be further adjusted by the Screen Brightness control.
By default, the main area of the Dashboard screen contains the Bird’s Eye View (BEV) and
if the local and remote stations are locked, the positional coordinates are displayed in the
upper part of the side bar. However, it is possible to swap these around so that the main
area shows the coordinates in extra-large text and the side bar contains a miniature BEV.
To Change the Day/Night View and Adjust Brightness:
1. If the Guidance Home Menu is open in the Side Bar, close it by clicking on the
Guidance button.
To Select the Screen Layout Mode:
2. Navigate to Advanced > Display Options > Display Settings.

The Artemis Dashboard supports four different arrangements of the Bird’s Eye View so that
the operator can choose the one which best represents his surroundings.
1. Click on Advanced > Display Options > Screen Layout.
2. Click on the vessel outline that points in the required direction.
For instance, if the operator is facing forward when using the Dashboard, he would want
the bow of the vessel in the BEV to point upwards, so that a remote station located on the
starboard side of the vessel is shown on the right-hand side of the BEV.
Alternatively, rotate the vessel clockwise by clicking F2 or the Rotate Vessel Clockwise
hotkey. Rotate anti-clockwise by clicking F3 or the Rotate Vessel Anti-Clockwise hotkey.

Basic Operation
In order for the Artemis system to output positional data to a vessel’s DP system, the local
station needs to be tracking a remote station. This section explains how to achieve this.
It contains the following pages:

•
•
•

Tracking Overview
When an Artemis-equipped vessel moves within operating range of a remote station, the
two stations will lock on to each other if the following conditions are met:
• The correct remote station has been selected within the vessel’s Artemis Control Software
(see Selecting a Remote Station on page 20).
• The radar beams from both stations are illuminating the other.
In order to fulfil the second condition, the scan sectors of each station should be set up to
include the direction in which the other is located. In the case of a fixed station mounted
on a rig or on land, it should already be configured to search in the directions from which
vessels normally approach. For the mobile station on board a vessel, it may be necessary
to widen the scan sector in order to find the fixed station (see Adjusting the Scan Sector
on page 21).
In order to locate the remote station within the scan sector, the beam direction can be
altered either manually or automatically:
• Rotate the beam manually using the rocker switch on the side bar. Click the left-hand
side of the switch to move the beam in a counter-clockwise direction by a small amount.
Similarly, click the right-hand side to move in a clockwise direction. Click repeatedly or
hold the switch down to move further.
• Click the Enable button embedded within the Auto Search button in order to search
automatically. This causes the beam to sweep from side to side across the scan sector
until it locks onto the remote station, or until Auto Search is disabled.
When the stations are locked, the remote station is represented on the BEV by a yellow
dot, the size of which varies with the strength of the received signal. If the remote station
has a structure type of Floating, an outline of its vessel is shown (with its bow aligned to 0°
azimuth).
Once a lock has been achieved, DP feed messages are output via the configured DP
channel(s). The position of the remote station and its signal strength are displayed at the
top of the side bar (or on the main screen if Coordinates Layout Mode has been selected).
(see Tracking Information Quality on page 22).
Leaving Auto Search enabled on the local station causes the beam to search for the remote
station if it is lost (e.g. due to another vessel passing across the line of sight).
If the local vessel is station keeping, or is moving along a trajectory such that the bearing
of the remote station remains about the same, you may wish to narrow the scan sector
around the remote station. The advantage of this is to reduce the time required to find the
remote station again after losing it.
19
Selecting a Remote Station
Although the local Artemis station tracks only one remote station at a time, it can be configured with a list of multiple prospective stations (see Artemis Mk6 Installer’s Guide). The side bar
of the Dashboard screen displays the description of the currently selected remote station, its address code and the frequency pair used when the local station communicates with it.
To Select a Different Remote Station:
1. Ensure that the Dashboard is In Command (if not, click on the Guidance button then Take Command).
2. Click on the Auto Search button on the side bar.
This causes the Remote Stations menu pane to open. The description of the currently selected remote station has a green background.
3. Select a different remote station by clicking on its description in the list.
The details of the selected remote station are displayed in the right-hand side of the pane.
4. Click on Select Remote Station.
The description of the newly selected remote station now has a green background.
20
Adjusting the Scan Sector
The Dashboard operator can alter the size of the scan sector, the dark blue area across
which the antenna sweeps when auto-searching.
A wider scan sector may be required in order to find a remote station. Once the stations are
locked and if its bearing is not expected to change much, a narrower scan sector may be
required in order to quickly re-establish the lock should it be interrupted.
To Adjust the Scan Sector:
1. Ensure that the Dashboard is In Command mode (if not, click on the Guidance button
then Take Command).
In Command mode there are handles along each radial edge of the scan sector.
2. Click one of the scan sector handles on the BEV and, holding down the left mouse
button, drag to the required position. Alternatively – on a touchscreen – touch and drag.
As the handle is moved, its current position (in degrees clockwise from the vessel bow) is
displayed in blue numerals outside the perimeter of the circle.
This will cause the Apply and Cancel buttons to appear at the foot of the side bar.
3. If required, drag the second handle in the same way.
4. Click on the Apply (tick) button to confirm.
Note that the scan sector cannot be narrower than 5°, nor can it extend into the dark grey
area of the BEV (defined by the End Limits - see Artemis Mk6 Installer’s Guide).
21
Tracking Information Quality
When the system is locked, the coordinates of the remote station and the strength of the signal received from it are displayed at the top of the side bar (or on the main screen if
Coordinates Layout Mode has been selected). This data is colour coded:
The colours denote signal strength:
Red:
-80dB to -72dB
Amber: -71dB to -65dB
Green: -64dB to 0dB
22
DP Feeds
Up to four ports of the Artemis Control PC can be configured as DP Feed channels, in order to output positional data to the vessel’s DP system (see Artemis Mk6 Installer’s Guide).
The state of each channel, its data format and the most recent data output can be viewed on the Dashboard.
To View DP Feed Details:
1. Click on the Advanced button on the side bar.
2. Click on the DP Feeds button on the menu pane.
23
Multi-Dashboard Artemis Systems
An Artemis system can include multiple PCs, each running the Dashboard program. At any
given time all of the Dashboards may be in Monitoring mode, or else one Dashboard – and
only one – may be in command mode.
This section explains the difference between the two modes and how to switch between
them. It contains the following pages:
•
•
Artemis Dashboard – In Command Mode section on page 25
Artemis Dashboard - Monitoring Mode section on page 26
24
Artemis Dashboard – In Command Mode
It is necessary to run a Dashboard in command mode in order to use its system control
functions (e.g. adjusting the scan sector or activating a different remote station). Any
changes made in these areas will be evident on the screens of the monitoring Dashboards.
On the other hand, display options such as screen brightness or vessel orientation can be
set differently on each individual Dashboard, whether it is in command or monitoring.
When the Dashboard in command is used to suspend the local station, a message
will appear on the screens of the monitoring Dashboards indicating that the system is
suspended.
In this state, clicking the Resume button on any Dashboard will automatically put it in
command mode.
Vessel Orientation
If no Dashboard within the system is in command, the next Dashboard to be opened will
default to In Command mode. Subsequently, new Dashboards will default to Monitoring
mode.
To switch a Dashboard from Monitoring mode to In Command:
1. Click the Guidance button at the foot of the side bar.
2. Click the Take Command button.
If there was already another Dashboard in command mode, it will automatically switch to
Monitoring mode when this Dashboard takes command.
A Dashboard cannot directly take command
away from a Service Interface application.
If a Service Interface is currently in
command, the Dashboard’s Take Command
button will be disabled and dark grey in
appearance.
In order to enable it, click on the Relinquish
Command button on the Service Interface.
25
Artemis Dashboard - Monitoring Mode
When the Dashboard is running in Monitoring mode the controls relating to the Dashboard
itself will be active, but those relating to other parts of the system will be disabled.
Monitoring Dashboards display the same positional information as the Dashboard in
command, but cannot search for a remote station, activate a different one or suspend the
local station.
To switch a Dashboard from In Command mode to Monitoring:
1. Click the Guidance button at the foot of the side bar.
2. Click the Relinquish Command button.

Working with Alarms
During operation, the Artemis system produces an audit trail of event messages. These
range in increasing order of severity from: Information, Warning, and Error to Fatal. As
these alarms are raised, the Dashboard lists them within the Alarms pane. Click on any
alarm to display details about it in the right-hand section of the Alarm pane:
Filtering Alarms
A filter is available to suppress the display of particular alarm types. By default, the filter is
activated and causes information messages to be hidden.
Click on the Alarm Filter button to toggle between activated
and de-activated
Click on the Filter Selection button to choose which types of alarm are to be filtered out:
The severity and current state of an alarm are reflected in its colour and shape:
symbols
• Information—grey
symbols
• Warning—orange
symbols
• Error—red
• Fatal—red symbols
A tick means that alarms of the corresponding severity are always viewable in the alarms
list. No tick means that alarms of that severity are hidden when the filter is activated.
The arrowhead symbol indicates that an alarm condition is persisting; an alarm in this state
will show a Start time but not a Stop time.
The square symbol means that the alarm condition no longer exists, therefore the alarm will
show both Start and Stop times.
The pause symbol indicates an instantaneous alarm. In this case, the Start and Stop times
are identical.
When an Error or Fatal alarm is raised, the Alarms pane is opened automatically and its
Side Bar button is shaded red as in the example above. If the pane is closed and reopened, the Side Bar button returns to its normal light grey shading.
When a Fatal alarm occurs, communications with the sensor are disabled.
In order to return to normal operation, ensure that the fault condition has been
cleared, close the Dashboard and re-open. If communications are not re-established,
power the sensor off, wait for 20 seconds then power back on.
32
Working with Alarms (Continued)
Using the Current and Historic Alarms Tabs
There are two tabs on the Alarms pane, each containing a list of alarms:
Current Alarms tab displays new alarms (raised since the Dashboard was last
• The
opened).
Historic Alarms tab displays alarms that have been cleared from the Current
• The
Alarms tab.
Current alarms are automatically transferred when the Dashboard is closed or when the
maximum number of Current Alarms has been reached.
Items on the Current Alarms tab cannot be deleted, they may only be moved to the
Historic Alarms tab. Only items on the Historic Alarms tab can be permanently deleted.
