FURUNO ECDIS FMD-3200 (with 19" LCD) and FURUNO FMD-3300 (with 23.1" LCD) deliver great enhancement in terms of user 
interface as well as functionality. The ECDIS employs intelligently arranged Graphic User Interface elements that deliver task-based operation 
scheme to give the operator direct access to necessary operational procedure.
Also, the new ECDIS utilises cutting edge chart-drawing engine that delivers instantaneous chart redraw with the seamless zooming and 
panning, hence making the ECDIS operation stress-free.
The ECDIS will also bring about streamlined chart management scheme providing easy chart management independent of the chart providers.
The ECDIS is compatible with Jeppesen Dynamic Licensing and it supports the Admiralty Information Overlay (AIO).
Fully complying with the performance standard of ECDIS stipulated in IMO resolution MSC.232(82), the ECDIS is going to be a suitable 
candidate designated for new installation as well as retrofit to fulfill ECDIS mandatory carriage that is phasing in from July 2012 onward.

  *a radar sensor needs to be integrated in the network.
** Radar and Alert Management System display capabilities are to be implemented as software update after product release. (option)
             
Instantaneous chart redraw delivered by FURUNO's advanced chart drawing engine, making redraw latency a thing of the past
                                                       
▶ Intuitive new user interface offers fast, precise route planning, monitoring and navigation data management
▶ Interface with existing FAR-21x7/FAR28x7 series Radar for Radar overlay, target track info, route and waypoint exchange via Ethernet
   *Software update on FAR-21x7/FAR-28x7 series might be necessary depending on the program number.

  • IMO MSC.232(82)
  • IMO A.694(17)
  • IEC 61162-1 Ed. 4
  • IEC 61162-2 Ed. 1

  • IEC 61174 Ed. 4
  • IEC 62288 Ed .2
  • IMO MSC.191(79)
 Cartography
  • IHO/S-57 Edition 3 vector chart (IHO S-63 data protection scheme)
    · Admiralty Vector Chart Service by UKHO
    · C-MAP ENC
    · Jeppesen Primar ECDIS Service
  • ARCS raster chart
  • C-MAP Professional+*
    *C-MAP Professional+ is a private chart, hence not construed as replacement for paper chart.
  • Interface with Jeppesen Dynamic Licensing Service available
  • Compatibility with Admiralty Information Overlay (AIO) for further navigation safety
Additional AIO layer includes all Admiralty Temporary and Preliminary Notices to Mariners as well as additional ENC Preliminary Notices
to Mariners, i.e., reported navigational hazards that have been incorporated into paper chart but have yet to be included in ENCs.
The service is free of charge as part of Admiralty Vector Chart Service (AVCS) by UKHO. 

                                    
Sensor Adapter
Ease of installation and maintenance thanks to simplified cabling in the sensor-to-ECDIS/Radar interface delivered by common sensor adapter
Sensor Adapter acts as central medium to gather all the sensor data and collectively feed it to all FMD-3200/3300 ECDIS and FCR-2xx9 Chart 
Radar in the system.Since sensor adapter can be extended to cover all the sensors within the system, individual cablings in the sensor-to-
ECDIS/Radar interface can be greatly reduced.
Navigation sensors can be directly interfaced with the ECDIS processor's 8 serial I/O ports.
   Sensor adapters are required under the following conditions:
  • the sensor data is to be shared amongst multiple networked ECDIS and Radar systems,
  • the number of sensors interfaced is more than the number of the ports the processor has (8 serial I/O ports, 1 digital IN and 6 digital OUT), and/or
  • the networked sensors include analog sensors.
In order to integrate onboard sensors into the navigation network, the sensor adapter may be interfaced with the switching hub 
HUB-100 from which distribution of the sensor data throughout the network is possible.Alternatively, multiple sensor adapters may
be interfaced via Ethernet to integrate onboard sensors for use in the shipboard network.
                                 
User Interface
FURUNO's new user interface delivers straightforward, task-based operation
Control Units
The operator control of the FMD-3200 and FMD-3300 can be done with the ECDIS Control Unit RCU-024 or the Trackball Control Unit RCU-026.
All functions of the ECDIS can be accessed by using the trackball, scrollwheel and left/right clicking.
                        
  1 Press “EBL 1” and “EBL 2” to activate/deactivate respective EBL; and rotate the encoder to adjust active EBL.
  2 Rotate to adjust brilliance level of the FURUNO monitor; and press to select display palette.
  3 Rotate to adjust radar gain on the radar overlay.
  4 Press “VRM 1” and “VRM 2” to activate/deactivate respective VRM; and rotate the rotary encoder to adjust active VRM.
  5 For acknowledgement of alerts generated.
  6 Rotate to select items within the I.A.bar; and press to confirm the selection of the item.
   
  7 Full QWERTY keyboard for easy entery of route, event and waypoint names.
  8 Following functions are assigned for each key:
        UNDO   to undo the last operation
        RANGE to selectr chart scale
  9 Following functions are assigned for each key:   
        VIEW/HIDE         to show/hide the I.A. bar and route information window
        ACQ/ACT           to activate selected active AIS target
        TARGET DATA     to display the detailed target data for selected TT/AIS

  10 USB port for charts update, import/export, WP/routes, user setting.
  11 Trackball Module
Trackball module consists of four parts, each of which has the following functions:
       trackball      to move the cursor and select an object
       left-click      to perform/confirm the action related the selected object
       right-click    to display contextual menu while a cursor is on the display area, and to cancel action done on the selected object
       scrollwheel  to select menu items

Contextual Menu
Right-clicking on the screen will open the contextual menu containing all
the available actions related to the position of the cursor, i.e., chart
object, data box, etc., hence providing quick access to tasks required.

 Status Bar

InstantAccess bar™

When clicking on the InstantAccess bar™, the InstantAccess bar™ will retract to the edge of the screen.
By clicking the hidden bar at the edge of the screen, the InstantAccess bar™ will come back in.
The upper part of the InstantAccess bar™ contains the list of available tasks/functions specific to each of the
ECDIS operation modes selected, hence providing quick access to the needed tasks/functions to be performed.
While the menu items of the upper part of the InstantAccess bar™ change according to the mode selected,
the lower part of the InstantAccess bar™ is static for all modes, except for "Mini Conning", which is only
available in the "Monitor mode" and "Plan mode". 

ECDIS operation modes

Monitor Mode
In the Monitor Mode, ship's behaviour can be monitored in relations to the planned route.
Various voyage monitoring tools are incorporated into the InstantAccess bar™. 

Click to open the AIS/NAVTEX message menu window from which the operators can handle AIS/NAVTEX 
messages, i.e., sending, viewing and deleting the messages

Chart Maintenance Mode

The Chart Maintenance Mode allows the operators to handle charts to be used in the system

Click to open the chart license menu window where the operators can view the permit status of the chart installed.
Also, the operators can install, backup, restore and export the chart licenses from the same menu window.

Plan Mode

In the Plan mode, the operators can generate and edit route plans as well
as user charts. Also, various detailed reports, generated by ECDIS, on
planned routes as well as user charts can be viewed.
All these tasks can be accessed from the InstantAccess bar™. 

Route Planning
Once left-clicking on "Route", a route planning menu window will open.
The operators can use the trackball to enter waypoints directly onto the chart.
After entering a waypoint, the operators can edit name, steering mode, radius,
channel limit and other parameters of the waypoints on the menu window. 

Creating User Chart
When clicking on "User chart", user chart tools (a palette and a menu window)
will be displayed by which operators can create a user chart.
A user chart is a layer consisting of marks and lines that can be produced and
overlaid onto the chart. It is intended for indicating safety-related areas and objects.

Quick access to various reports

Route reports on waypoints and passage plan as well as user chart reports on tidals,
lines, user-entered objects and user-dened areas can be directly accessed for viewing
from the InstantAccess bar™.

A guide box instantly tells the operators the range and bearing between the last
waypoint and the cursor position as you drag the cursor.
