Recently, according to the recommendation of the evaluation committee and the relevant laws and regulations, Nanjing Changjiang Waterway Bureau determine the WUT Ship gain the bid for the project of operation of the ship control system integrated research  as an adaptation to the digital channel mode.

       Designed systematically, the control system of equipment integration can be equivalent to the IBS system, combined effectively with a variety of navigation equipments, such as the ship operating system, radar collision avoidance system via field bus network. This technique realizes an automatic, safe and economic sailing by full usage of computers, modern control, information processing and artificial intelligence technology, and. In fact, this form is similar to the integrated bridge system (IBS).

Presently, all types of guided device protocol basically adopts NMEA protocol, which is based on RS485 bus architecture. Due to different types of equipments from different factories, the integration of control system and equipment must first unify the orders, and ensure the consistency of equipments in form. The research project will be based on the ship's navigation features, and its equipments can be placed in the inner control console, all the display system is placed in the integrated display, which brings along the concise, strong modern sense.
