SIMRAD TP32 tripping out

[Alwind]

Thank you for your reply. It seem that we approached the issue similar . I've a Silva Nexus NX Server as the NMEA0183 Server. So it appears that the source of the NMEA signals is not the issue. Keep me informed via this forum, I'm curious.

I don't have a vast experience in marine electronic systems, but I think it should have some kind of limit switch instead of letting it to trip out. I wouldn't want it to trip out in auto mode while it's unsupervised. If the waypoints of the cruise are not in a straight line, I imagine there might be situations, when the tiller pilot reaches one of the end positions in auto mode. If the waypoints are more or less in a straight line, I agree, probably the push rod of the TP would not reach the end points.

(If I post this question in PBO, shall I delete it from here?)

Just to correct something there ... no Autopilot changes course without User accepting first ... just because it can be corrected to a plotter and plotter can make autopilot correct course error ... it does not mean at waypoint it will instruct to change course. It will ask you to accept new instruction - then it will tell autopilot to alter.
