Self-Tuning Adaptive Heading Control System
System Overview

With the introduction of the C. Plath NAVIPILOT 4000 Self-Tuning Adaptive Heading Control System, Sperry Marine continues its traditional philosophy of designing autopilots with the aim of increasing profit by reducing costs. The innovative NAVIPILOT 4000 is the first marine autopilot which uses ship steering control network technology to control a ship and is capable of tuning itself to adapt automatically to the ship's load characteristics and the prevailing weather conditions, thus reducing operational demands and increasing fuel savings and operational safety.

Conceived with the most modern computer tools in accordance with NMEA 2000, the NAVIPILOT 4000 permanently indicates all information required by the most stringent marine navigation demands:


•Current heading (digital)
•Set heading
•Override status
•Selected heading source
•Steering mode (AUTO/MAN/NAV)
•Parameters for:
