METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING THE SPEED OF A SHIP
First Claim
1. A method for automatically controlling speed of a ship, comprising the steps of:
- automatically controlling engine speed (nMOT) by a closed-loop engine speed control system as an inner closed-loop control system;
automatically controlling the ship'"'"'s speed (vS) by a closed-loop ship'"'"'s speed control system as an outer closed-loop control system;
influencing the ship'"'"'s set speed (vSL) as a reference input of the closed-loop ship'"'"'s speed control system as a function of an external signal source; and
correcting the ship'"'"'s set speed (vSL) as a function of underwater topography (TOPO).

Abstract
A method for automatically controlling the speed of a ship, in which the engine speed (nMOT) is automatically controlled by a closed-loop engine speed control system as an inner closed-loop control system, the ship'"'"'s speed (vS) is automatically controlled by a closed-loop ship'"'"'s speed control system as an outer closed-loop control system, and the ship'"'"'s set speed (vSL) is influenced as a reference input of the closed-loop ship'"'"'s speed control system as a function of an external signal source. The ship'"'"'s set speed (vSL) is corrected as a function of the underwater topography (TOPO).
