摘要

An electronic control unit for the subsequent installation of the manual operating unit of the transverse beam rudder, for the automatic triggering of the transverse thrust units, for the automatic alignment of the ship according to a predetermined angle to the sun, wherein the movement of the sun is taken into account, so that the set angle of the ship to the sun, always remains the same or a set angle to geographic north always remains the same, in this case, however, it is possible to define an angular deviation or an angle tolerance, so that the ship has a certain freedom of movement.
