Control system for small marine vessel
A control system for a marine vessel that includes a drive source and an operator that receives an operation is able to switch a control mode of the drive source without providing an additional operator. An operation received by the operator when the drive source is resting is disabled, and a function of switching a control mode of the drive source is assigned to the operation of the operator that is received when the drive source is resting.
1. A control system for a marine vessel including a drive source and an operator that receives an operation, the control system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory storage medium including program instructions stored thereon, execution of which by the processor causes the control system to:
disable an operation received by the operator when the drive source is resting; and
assign a function of switching a control mode of the drive source to the operation received by the operator when the drive source is resting.
2. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the marine vessel includes a plurality of operators each able to receive an operation; and
the execution of the program instructions by the processor further causes the control system to:
disable operations received by the plurality of operators when the drive source is resting; and
assign the function of switching the control mode of the drive source to a combined operation received by the plurality of the operators when the drive source is resting.
3. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the drive source includes an internal combustion engine.
4. The control system according to claim 3 , wherein a state in which the drive source is resting corresponds to any of a state in which the internal combustion engine is stopped and a state in which a power to a controller of the internal combustion engine is in an off state.
5. The control system according to claim 4 , wherein the operator corresponds to any of a starting switch for the drive source, a resting switch for the drive source, an emergency resting switch for the drive source, a switch for both starting and resting the drive source, and a throttle lever.
6. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the drive source includes an electric motor.
7. The control system according to claim 6 , wherein the operator corresponds to any of an ON switch for the electric motor, an OFF switch for the electric motor, an emergency OFF switch for the electric motor, an ON/OFF switch for the electric motor, and a throttle lever.
8. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the marine vessel includes a display; and
when the control mode of the drive source is switched, the display displays the control mode.
9. The control system according to claim 1 , wherein the marine vessel has a seating capacity of three persons or less and includes a jet propulsion device.
10. A control system for a marine vessel including a drive source and an operator that receives an operation, the control system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory storage medium including program instructions stored thereon, execution of which by the processor causes the control system to:
disable an operation received by the operator when the drive source is working; and
assign a function of switching a control mode of the drive source to the operation received by the operator when the drive source is working.
11. A control system for a marine vessel including a drive source, a first operator, and a second operator, the control system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory storage medium including program instructions stored thereon, execution of which by the processor causes the control system to:
disable an operation of the second operator when the first operator is being operated; and
assign a function of switching a control mode of the drive source to the operation of the second operator when the first operator is being operated.
12. A control system for a marine vessel including a drive source and an operator that receives an operation, the control system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory storage medium including program instructions stored thereon, execution of which by the processor causes the control system to:
when an operation is interrupted before execution of a function corresponding to the operation is completed, interrupt the execution of the function; and
assign a function of switching a control mode of the drive source to interruption of the operation of the operator before the execution of the function corresponding to the operation is completed.
