Ship autopilots can be divided into conventional, only capable of maintaining a given course (heading), and advanced, which can additionally keep the ship on the “path” (track) connecting the given navigation points along the route. The article presents the structure of a prototype autopilot of a ship implemented in the CPDev environment and the formulas allowing to determine the settings of the course controller (PID) and the track controller (PI) in the cascade control. For each of them, single design parameters were adopted to define the dynamics of the closed control loop. These rules were applied in the software of the autopilot prototype, created in cooperation with a Dutch company designing control and visualization systems for ships.
