Engine Control System Interface to Surrounding Systems
To support the navigator, the vessels are equip-
ped with a ship control system, which includes
subsystems to supervise and protect the main
propulsion engine.
The monitoring systems and instrumentation are
explained in detail in Chapter 18.
Alarm system
The alarm system has no direct effect on the En-
gine Control System (ECS). The alarm alerts the
operator of an abnormal condition.
The alarm system is an independent system, in
general covering more than the main engine itself,
and its task is to monitor the service condition
and to activate the alarms if a normal service limit
is exceeded.
The signals from the alarm sensors can be used
for the slow down function as well as for remote
indication.
Slow down system
The engine safety system is an independent sys-
tem with its respective sensors on the main en-
gine, fulfilling the requirements of the respective
classification society and MAN Diesel.
Safety system
The engine safety system is an independent sys-
tem with its respective sensors on the main en-
gine, fulfilling the requirements of the respective
classification society and MAN Diesel.
If a critical value is reached for one of the meas-
uring points, the input signal from the safety
system must cause either a cancellable or a
noncancellable shut down signal to the ECS.
The safety system is included as standard in the
extent of delivery.
For the safety system, a combined shut down
and slow down panel approved by MAN Diesel
is available as an option in the Extent of Delivery,
e.g.:
4 75 610a Lyngsø Marine
4 75 610b Kongsberg Maritime
4 75 610c Nabtesco
4 75 610d Siemens
4 75 610f Mitsui Zosen Systems Research.
Where separate shut down and slow down panels
are installed only panels approved by MAN Diesel
must be used.
In any case, the remote control system and the
safety system (shut down and slow down panel)
must be compatible.
Telegraph system
The telegraph system is an independent system.
This system enables the navigator to transfer the
commands of engine speed and direction of rota-
tion from the Bridge, the engine control room or
the Engine Side Console (ESC).
Remote Control system
The remote control system normally has two alter-
native control stations:
• the Bridge Control console
• the Engine Control Room console
The remote control system is to be delivered by a
supplier approved by MAN Diesel.
