A method of operating a steering unit for a steer-by-wire ship control system, comprising a steering wheel, a controller that is connected to the electronic controller of the steer-by-wire ship control system (ECU), a sensor for detecting the angular position of the steering wheel, and a device for generating mechanical resistance at the steering wheel. The mechanical resistance generated at the steering wheel, by the device for generating mechanical resistance at the steering wheel upon actuation of the steering wheel by an operator, depends on the speed of the engine or ship. The resistance is raised as the speed increases until a predetermined threshold is reached. If an auto-pilot device is activated, then the mechanical resistance has a constant value at every speed. |
