Appendix I: R2Sonic I2NS Components and Operation
The R2Sonic I2NS (Inertial Navigation System) option integrates the Applanix Position and
Orientation System (POS/MV)’s POS Computing System (PCS) and Sonar topside units saving both
power and space while simplifying vessel mobilization. The setup of the R2Sonic INS is identical to
the setup of the Applanix POS/MV system; POSView (Version 7.60 or more recent) is necessary for
inputting offsets and configuring outputs. All of the data, both sonar and POS/MV are sent over the
one Ethernet cable to the data collection computer; eliminating the need for two network cards.
The information contained here does not detail the POSView software to set up the Applanix
POS/MV; that information is found in the Applanix POS/MV manual. The information provided here
covers the necessary setup of the R2Sonic I2NS components as relates to the R2Sonic SIM and Sonic
Control. Where necessary, certain steps in the POSView software are detailed.
The R2Sonic INS will work on all R2Sonic systems with SIM firmware:
Simb$26-OCT-2013-15-58-
27.bin
and head firmware:
Head$16-Nov-2013-04-35-57.bin
or more recent.

Components
The R2Sonic I2NS is comprised of the enhanced Sonar Interface Module (SIM), which contains the
Applanix boards and connections for the antennas and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Two
antennas (and cables) and one IMU (and cable) complete the physical INS components.
