2.3 Design principles

2.3.1 System components
The K-Chief 500 is a modular system that allows us to meet individual ship owners requirements using standard modules. The main building blocks of the K-Chief 500 are: Operator Stations (OS) Their main functions are to receive alarms and to allow monitoring and control of the system. They can display mimic diagrams, allow control of the Watch Calling System and print various logs. They also enable the operator access to Distributed Processing Units for inspection of variables, remote operation of equipment adjustment of parameters etc. Midi Operator Stations (MOS) Their main functions are to allows alarm indication, process control and power management. The Midi Operator Station is a multipurpose Operator Station designed to be placed anywhere on the ship, even out on deck. For small alarm systems it can be the only Operator Station. Operator Panels (CRP/INP/ALC/TCP) Their main functions are to act as status and command panels for the Operator Stations. They also include a keypad for entering number values into the system and/or a trackball for controlling cursor position on the Operator Station screen. Watch Bridge Units (WBU) Their main functions are to indicate engine room alarms on the bridge while in bridge control and to accept the transfer of machine watch responsibility to and from the bridge. Watch Cabin Units (WCU) Their main functions are to indicate engine room alarms in the engineer on dutys cabin and in the public quarters while in bridge control. Distributed Processing Units (DPU) Their main functions are to monitor analogue or digital sensors and to provide analogue and digital output to different devices. A number of different Distributed Processing Units are available to meet specic control and monitoring applications.

System description
Dual redundant Local Area Network (LAN) The LAN is used for communication between the Operator Stations and other PC based equipment. Each unit is connected to two completely separate Local Area Networks for maximum redundancy. Dual redundant Controller Area Network (CAN) The CAN is used for communication between the Distributed Processing Units. Each unit is connected to two completely separate CAN-buses for maximum redundancy. Dual Process Segment Controller (dPSC) The dPSC is a dual two channel CAN gateway. In most cases the two channels are working in parallel on redundant CAN lines. The main function of the dPSC is to process messages from the a local CAN-bus segment and send them on the global process bus, where they are available for other dPSCs and System Gateways. Process Segment Starcoupler (PSS) The PSS is used to segment the CAN-bus so that a short circuit or broken line in one segment will not affect the functions in the other segments. System Gateway (SGW) The SGW connects two CAN lines to two Local Area Network lines. The main purpose is to receive messages from the two process buses running CAN, and update the main Operator Station database. Different selections of these units are used to congure each individual system. K-Chief 500 is a fully microprocessor-based system. It is decentralised for safety and ease of installation, but operation is centralised using Operator Stations (OS).
2.3.2 Decentralized system architecture

The heart of the K-Chief 500 system is the small family of different intelligent I/O units called Distributed Processing Units. These communicate with each other on a redundant high capacity process-bus. All monitoring and automation functions are carried out by the Distributed Processing Units, while the centralised Operator Stations provide the Man Machine Interface. Each Distributed Processing Unit type has a specic capacity in number and type of analogue or digital input and output channels. The number of channels varies from 8 to 32. To congure the tasks for a specic Distributed Processing Unit, the appropriate software and parameters are down-loaded to the unit. This allows some Distributed Processing Units to perform
312401/B
23
alarm functions, some control functions, some safety functions or any combination of these. This makes it easy to separate automation system functions. The process-bus used for communication between the Distributed Processing Units in the K-Chief 500 system is the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN-bus has a very high reliability. For systems with a high number of Distributed Processing Units or for other design reasons, System Gateways (SGW) may be added to the CAN network. These units provide the necessary segregation of the automation system between for instance the different sections of an alarm and monitoring system. The System Gateways do not lower system performance or limit the possibilities for locating operator stations. The K-Chief 500 is designed to accept both a grounded or a oating earth installation. The latter installation method is required by SOLAS Regulation 45 for some vessels types. Floating earth allows coexistence with other systems and ground leakage detection. The Distributed Processing Units have been designed for immunity against single failures. Each Distributed Processing Unit has an internal three-way galvanic isolation between power, communication and input/output channels. If a unit fails, this will not affect the power source, communication bus or damage the sensors. The Built In System Test (BIST) will detect the error and warn the operator. Failures to the process-bus, cabling or connected sensors will also be detected by the Built In System Test. Exchange of a faulty Distributed Processing Unit can be done without turning the power off the K-Chief 500. The procedure is simply to disconnect and remove the faulty unit, and then mount and reconnect a replacement. The operator then requests the system to replace the module, software is automatically down-loaded and the Distributed Processing Unit starts operating. All Distributed Processing Unit types have been qualied according to the latest revision of the IACS E10 test procedure, satisfying the requirements for placement in the most demanding locations. All Distributed Processing Units can be mounted directly on diesel engines or similar locations without shock absorbers. Only Ingress Protection (IP) may be needed. The Distributed Processing Units are CE marked as required for some European Union agstate vessels. They also meet the requirements to use the Wheel Mark dened by the European Union Maritime Directive (EMD), satisfying all the new Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements.

System description
2.3.3 Centralized operation

The K-Chief 500 system is operated through a number of Operator Stations. These are normally located in the Engine Control Room. Additional stations may be located in the Wheelhouse, Cargo Control Room, Damage Control Room, Ships Ofce or other parts of the vessel. The Operator Stations are normally connected to the Distributed Processing Units trough a Dual Redundant Control Area Network. The Operator Stations are tted with colour graphic displays and are operated through a purpose built Operator Panel. The Operator Stations provides the operator with a number of standard display pictures containing information about the engine and surrounding equipment. Control of any of the Distributed Processing Units can be performed from the Operator Stations. Full monitoring and alarm facilities are provided in both the machinery space and the Engine Control Room. Advanced facilities can also be provided for unmanned machinery space, and the Watch Calling system allows automatic calling of duty engineers. This allows both the machinery space and the Engine Control Room to be safely left unmanned, while the machinery watch is carried out from the Bridge. All Operator Stations are Windows based personal computers, type approved for maritime use. They work in parallel; none of them acts as master. All are interconnected via the dual redundant local area network. Although every Operator Station is identical, access to vital functions may be congured differently. The control availability is dened by extensive use of software password access. Some Operator Stations, such as units located in the Ships Ofce, are normally used for monitoring only. These units will not allow acknowledgement of alarms or execution of control commands. All general information such as monitoring of alarms, trends and graphics are available for inspection. Changing a limit or parameter on one Operator Station will automatically update all other Operator Stations. All operator actions, such as the starting or stopping of a pump or the changing of an alarm limit, are logged and time tagged (optional). Whenever a variable or state changes signicantly the Distributed Processing Units update the database in each of the Operator Stations. This means that data displayed at any Operator Station is always up-to-date. There is no need to request data each time the operator wishes to inspect a variable. As a result of this, the data trafc on the process bus and the Local Area Network is kept to a minimum, giving extremely fast data access. The Operator Station serves as the database host for process data, engineering data and software. Software for Operator Stations and the different Distributed Processing Units are stored
312401/B
25
here. They include functions for automatic down-loading of parameters to the Distributed Processing Units at commissioning time or when a Distributed Processing Unit is replaced. Conguration control of the K-Chief 500 systems is taken care of by an automatic version update at any change of the engineering database or the application software. The system logs all changes made. Version numbers and additional information can at any time be individually inspected for each K-Chief 500, as required by the major classication societies. Our commissioning editor (SeaMate) is used to congure or modify the functionality of the K-Chief 500 and is used to generate as-built documentation. The local area network included as part of K-Chief 500 system can interface with personal computers for remote monitoring and even with other external computer systems.

Alarm detection for on/off signals with line check
The following functions are included: High process alarms (open or closed) Line broken alarm Line short alarm Return to normal detection Time delay of alarm triggering and return to normal messages
312401/B
27
Inhibit alarm
Some alarms are conditional and will be inhibited when a specied condition is present. This function is accomplished by dening a signal as an inhibit source for a specied alarm or a specied group of alarms. An adjustable time delay is available to extend the inhibit situation for each signal.
Alarm state indication
The four last alarms detected by the system will be indicated in the lower right corner of the colour graphics display. The alarm tag, description and state will be displayed. The following states are used by the system: On/off signal open contact alarm: OPEN On/off signal closed contact alarm: CLOSED On/off signal broken alarm: BROKEN On/off signal short alarm: SHORT Analogue signal instrument failure, signal value outside low range: IFL (Instrument Failure Low) Analogue signal instrument failure, signal value outside high range: IFH (Instrument Failure High) Analogue signal high alarm: HIGH Analogue signal low alarm: LOW Analogue signal high-high alarm: HI-HI Analogue signal low-low alarm: LO-LO On/off or analogue sensor taken out of scanning: OFFSC On/off or analogue signal return from alarm: RETURN On/off or analogue signal return from alarm: INHIBIT
Alarm text colour
Different colours have been used to visually distinguish between the alarm states. The meaning of the different colours is listed below: Normal state: GREEN Alarm state, not acknowledged: RED with asterisk (*) State changed from not acknowledged to normal: RED Alarm state, acknowledged: YELLOW Alarm state, inhibited: BLUE Not updated or invalid values: ORANGE Can be customised for extra critical alarms: MAGENTA

2.5 System functions, Alarm and Monitoring System

2.5.1 Engine exhaust gas temperature monitoring
The K-Chief 500 exhaust gas monitoring system calculates the deviation between the individual cylinders and the average value of all cylinders. An alarm is given if the deviation exceeds the acceptable limit. Alarm limits are continuously calculated based on the engine load. The dead-band is set narrower as the engine load increases. Individual variations due to different exhaust piping and sensor locations for each cylinder are taken into account. Individual calculations for each cylinder bank are made when relevant. The maximum number of cylinders for each engine or cylinder bank is 16. As the average temperature is used as reference for the deviations, it is necessary to correct the temperature of each cylinder to get the same temperature in all cylinders as reference. This correction is done when running the engine at full load. When the average temperature is below a preset value, the deviation alarm is blocked.
2.5.2 Trend monitoring

The K-Chief 500 automatically records selected measurements, and stores them for use in the trend monitoring system. This system can display recorded and present data for all variables as curves. The trend monitoring system is a part of the Operator Station and consists of two trend displays: Short trend and Long trend. Please see How to make your own short trend display on page 162 and How to make your own long trend display on page 176 for more details.
2.5.3 Fuel performance system (optional)

The fuel economising system is a tool to monitor fuel consumption and assess the efciency of the propulsion machinery. To study performance parameters momentary values are available. Accumulated fuel consumption and propeller shaft power such as for a voyage can be displayed and printed for reporting. Calculations are based on the Distributed Processing Units making continuous measurements. The following sensor data are required: Fuel oil ow for each propulsion engine Both input and output ow must be measured Fuel oil temperature for all input and output ows
30
312401/B
System description
Running signal for each propulsion engine Shaft power (torque) for each propeller shaft Ship speed Based on these measurements the following performance parameters are calculated: Momentary fuel consumption for each engine in kg/hrs Total momentary fuel consumption in kg/hrs Hull efciency in kg/nm Engine efciency for each engine in g/kWh Shaft power for each shaft in MW Total shaft power in MW Fuel consumption and power output is calculated over the voyage period. Accumulated data includes: Duration of voyage in hours Distance travelled in nautical miles Accumulated fuel consumption for each main engine in tons Total accumulated fuel consumption in tons Accumulated propeller shaft power in for each shaft in MWh Total accumulated propeller shaft power in MWh Accumulated values can be reset by the operator. When doing so, the accumulated values are printed (a post voyage report). All fuel economising measurements and calculations are available as a display window on any of the Operator Stations.
2.5.4 Running hours and counters

To improve the maintenance plan and to decide which components need overhauling, it is important to know the running hours for each component. The K-Chief 500 running hours function keeps track of the running hours for selected pumps, fans, compressors, puriers, generators etc., and present the result to the operator on demand. Any status signal interfaced to the K-Chief 500 can be used to count running hours. Two separate counter functions are available: Counter for total active running hour Lap counter A table containing all parameters and their running hour values can be printed on demand. Values can be manually reset when units have been overhauled. When required, adjustments can be made to the total running hour or lap counter for any unit. Underneath is a K-Chief 500 display showing a counter image.

2.5.6 Engine monitoring

Kongsberg Engine Monitoring Systems consist of bearing monitoring components covering Bearing Wear, Water in Oil, Temperature of all bearings and additional measuring points like: Cylinder liner, exhaust gas temperature ,Torque measurement Software and system components are common with K-Chief 500 and AutoChief C20, allowing integration and joined support. Data transfer via CAN bus is the base for easy communication with other Kongsberg systems.
Bearing Monitoring
The Kongsberg Bearing Monitoring Systems consist of the PS-10 Bearing Wear Monitoring, Sentry Wireless Temperature Monitoring and PT100 Main Bearing Temperature
34
312401/B
System description
Sensors. In combination these solutions will give the most optimal monitoring of crosshead, crank and main bearing wear/temperature on 2-stroke engines. In a modern large bore two-stroke diesel engine, the reliability, particularly for critical components are vital. All major engine manufacturers continually work to maintain and improve reliability of existing and future machines in spite of i.e. higher output demands. In this picture bearing monitoring is important. The reason for this is rstly that constant monitoring of operating conditions and performance increases the chance of detecting a developing problem at an early stage. Secondly, experience has showed that some components fail most frequently shortly after an inspection, due to incorrect reassembly, foreign particles being introduced etc. Finally, servicing a part only when necessary reduces the owners maintenance costs. Both the Kongsberg Bearing Wear Monitoring and the Kongsberg Bearing Temperature Solutions have the function of predicting a bearing damage before it becomes critical. The systems will provide the crew with an early warning if any of the crank train bearings (crosshead-, crank- and main bearings) has an unexpected bearing problem during service. By providing advanced warning of impending problems, the consequential damage to crankshafts and connecting rods may be avoided. In addition the following advantages might be obtained by installing Kongsberg Bearing Monitoring Solutions; Extended time between open up intervals of bearings Reduction of insurance costs The above benets will call for individual discussions with the relevant Classication Society / Insurance Company.
Bearing Wear Monitoring
The Bearing Wear Monitoring system predicts bearing wear in large two-stroke diesel engines, before it becomes critical. The system will provide an early warning if any of the three crank-train bearings (crosshead-, crank- and mean bearing) experience unexpected problems during ship operation. The Bearing Wear sensor is based on a high quality magnetic sensing element. The measurements take place every time the crosshead passes Bottom Dead Centre (BDC). Engine speed is measured continuously to compensate for engine loads and rpm. The Kongsberg BWM system complies with MAN specications on all points. This includes Alarm log, short and long term trend and data storage over more than 5 years. These functions are also available for other Kongsberg systems that easily can be connected to the BWM computer.
312401/B
35
Sentry; Wireless temperature monitoring
Sentry is designed to monitor the temperature of crank pinand crosshead bearings in diesel engines. These bearings can experience rapid temperature changes during damage development. The sensors are designed to give immediate response to the monitoring system. The measurement system is based on radar technology with passive sensors without need of an external power source. A low energy and high frequency radar pulse is transmitted to the Sentry Wireless Sensor via the Sentry Stationary Antenna. When the sensor passes the antenna, the radar pulse is picked up and reected back to the Sentry Signal Processing Unit. The shape and characteristics of the reected pulse determine the temperature of the sensor, i.e. the bearing temperature. The processing unit software calculates the temperature and transmits this to the engine control and monitoring system. The installation of the stationary antenna related to the sensor is exible and non-critical.
36
312401/B
System description
Main Bearing temperature
Custom designed main bearing temperature sensors can be tted into any type of 2-stroke diesel engines. The sensors are mounted on the main bearing girder with the tip of the sensor in direct contact with the bearing shell. The sensor measures the combined temperatures of the bearing shell and of the lubrication oil that ows from the bearing.
Cylinder Liner Temperature
The Cylinder Liner Monitoring system measures temperatures in the upper part of the cylinder liner 5-6 mm from the inner surface, thus monitoring the piston running performance in operation. Increased friction between the piston rings and the cylinder liner creates an elevated temperature level, leading to abnormal wear and eventually to piston breakage.
312401/B
37
Scufng monitoring and alarm
The added Kongsberg software and system components provide detection of cylinder liner scufng. Scufng occurs at sub-alarm level temperatures and is recognized by uctuation temperature readings. When scufng is detected, an alarm is given for the related cylinder.
Scufng control
When scufng is detected an alarm is given for the related cylinder. An output is then given to the cylinder lubrication system that will increase the amount of cylinder lubrication oil to normalize the condition of the given liner. This function is only available in combination with the MAN Diesel Alpha lubricator.
Water in oil detection
The quality of the lubrication oil is critical. Only a small content of water reduces the oils ability to lubricate the bearings. When the water content is high enough for the water to segregate from
38
312401/B
System description
the oil a rapid corrosive process of the bearings will occur. The life time of a Tin/Aluminium bearing may be reduced to only a few hours. This measuring point has become standard on all new MAN Diesel engines.
MetaPower torque monitoring
The intention of MetaPower system is to enable the ship owner to optimize the operation parameters of the ship, i.e. to maintain or increase the speed with less consumption of fuel. This is carried out by measuring exact power transferred to the propeller(s) during the trimming procedure. MetaPower is based on a patented LASER technology. The principle is as follows:
An IR beam is transmitted from the processing unit (8) through optical bre (3). In the optical forks (6) and (7) placed in a distance of around 1 m from each other, the light will be pulse modulated by the coding wheels (1) and (2). The modulation will depend on the shaft speed and torque. The signal is received in the processing unit, processed and displayed as rpm, torque and power on system level. The processing unit may via serial communication, analogue or digital outputs be connected to the automation system.

2.7 System functions, Process Control System

All data acquisition, signal conditioning, signal scaling and process control is performed by each individual Distributed Processing Unit. This solution guarantees that local operation is available even if the Operator Stations are not functioning.
2.7.1 Stand-by pumps

General
Pump control is located in the Distributed Processing Units. Remote control is available from the Operator Stations in two ways: Through the stand by pump display (mimic diagrams). Through a (mimic) diagram included in the monitoring and control system.
Stand by start at low pressure
When the pressure drops below the set limit the stand by pump automatically starts. The limit may be adjusted if an analogue sensor is used.
Inhibit stand by start
Starting of the stand by pump is blocked after a blackout or at a group start, until the pressure has been built up. The stand by logic can also be inhibited by an external condition, such as main engine stopped, aux engine stopped or a similar condition.
Restart after blackout
Some units have to be automatically restarted after a blackout. These units are included in a start sequence. The delay time dened in the Distributed Processing Units pump logic determines the start sequence. The operator can adjust the sequence timing.
Group start of pumps
Remote controlled pumps can be started in sequence.

Alarms from the stand by pump logic
Stand by start alarm Auto start fail or trip Non stand by alarm (indicates that a stopped pump is no longer in stand by mode). Sensors: Pressure switches or analogue sensors may be used for the control functions.
312401/B
41
Limits: All limits are downloaded from the Operator Station as part of its database. The limits may be adjusted at the Operator Station or the Midi Operator Station. Conguration: To maintain redundancy in a two or three pump system, the signals from the motor starters and the process are normally routed to different Distributed Processing Units. This conguration allows the system to work even if one of the Distributed Processing Unit fails. The stand by pump logic is also active when the Operator Station is down.
2.7.2 Valve control

General
Valve control is located in the Distributed Processing Units. Remote control is available through the displays on the Operator Stations.
Valve Types

2.8 System functions, Power Management System

2.8.1 Introduction
The Power Management System controls the power generation and distribution on board the vessel. It includes all the automatic functions necessary for safe and economic operation of the power plant. The basic system consists of one Distributed Processing Unit per connected generator unit. Each performs the power management functions of the connected generator unit. The system is suitable for electrical generators driven by a diesel engine, a steam turbine or by the propeller shaft. The Distributed Processing Units have different congurations and control strategies depending on the type of drive. The Distributed Processing Units are connected to the Operator Station, which allows the operator to initiate the same monitoring and control functions that can be performed locally. For complex Power Management Systems an additional Distributed Processing Unit, the dPSC, is used for mode control etc. This is a unit giving redundancy both in function and communication, and allows separation of local PMS CAN process bus data trafc from other parts of the global CAN-network of the K-Chief 500 system. The Power Management System will be adapted to the specic conguration of power generators and bus bars on the ship. In order to comply with the latest rules of separation of functions for alarm, control and safety, these functions have been addressed to separate Distributed Processing Units like this: Complex logic: A Dual Process Segment Gateway (when needed). PMS control logic: A Distributed Processing Unit (RiO-C1) for each generator. Diesel generator safety system: A separate Distributed Processing Unit (RiO-C1). Bus-tie control: A Distributed Processing Unit (RiO-C1) for each bus-tie. Alarms: Two Rai-16 or Rdi-32 Units.
Note
These units interact on a dual redundant CAN-bus.
312401/B
45
2.8.2 Generator control functions

Synchronizing
The Power Management System automatically selects and synchronizes generators to the net as required. A Distributed Processing Unit controls speed, deviation of voltage/frequency and breaker.
Frequency control and loadsharing
When automatic mode is selected, one of the Distributed Processing Units must be dened as Master. The Distributed Processing Unit designated as No.1 Stand-By will automatically be master if no other master selection is made. The bus bar frequency and voltage values from the main switchboard are available in all the Distributed Processing Units. The Master mode Distributed Processing Unit is the reference for frequency and voltage values. It maintains a constant bus frequency by controlling its engines speed. The Master mode Distributed Processing Unit controls the bus frequency while the stand-by Distributed Processing Units controls the load-sharing.
Asymmetric loadsharing
The Distributed Processing Unit has an asymmetric or unbalanced load-sharing function that will force one generator to run at almost maximum load for a pre-dened period, while the second generator is operating at minimal load and fuel consumption. At the expiration of the dened period, the generators swap loads.
Symmetric loadsharing
If two or more generators are running and asymmetric load-sharing has not been requested, the load is shared equally between the generators.
Load-dependent start/stop of the Stand-by Generators
Each stand-by Distributed Processing Unit will automatically start, synchronise and connect its generator according to its assigned order-of-priority and whenever it receives one of the following requests: Switch-on request from the heavy consumer(s) if the generators in operation cannot provide enough power. A start request from another Distributed Processing Unit when its operating generator has developed a fault, which prevents it from maintaining its share of the load. A start request from another Distributed Processing Unit when its operating generator is approaching the point of overload.
46
312401/B
System description
It is possible to override or block the low load auto-stop feature. Whenever blocked, the stand-by generator will keep on running, independent of the load parameters. This feature is especially useful when a heavy consumer (e.g. a ships bow thruster) is required to be started instantaneously at irregular intervals.
Automatic start-and-connect after a power blackout
The power blackout logic is triggered when the Power Management System detects that all breakers are disconnected and that the line voltage is low. (less than 10 % of normal). In a power blackout situation, all of the generators controlled by each stand-by Distributed Processing Unit will start and connect to the bus.
Supervision of Heavy Consumer switch-on
Each Distributed Processing Unit is able to supervise the switch-on control heavy consumers to ensure that a switch-on will not cause a power blackout. If the demand for power exceeds the capacity of the operating generators, the Power Management System will start up and connect a stand-by generator to ensure that sufcient capacity is available before the request for switch-on is granted.
2.8.3 Power management functions with shaft generator

Main functions
One Distributed Processing Unit controls the Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit, whereas other Distributed Processing Units control the bus-tie breaker and the other auxiliary generators. The Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit logic is adaptable to various switchboard congurations. The following functions are available: Control of the shaft generator circuit breaker and the bus-tie breaker with automatic synchronisation Control of the connection and disconnection of bow- and stern thrusters Overall control of the Distributed Processing Units that control the auxiliary generator sets
Operational modes and mode control
The Power Management System allows many different modes of operation. Four standard modes are provided. Underneath are examples with 1 Shaft Generator (SG), 2 Diesel Generators (DG), 2 bus-ties and 1 bow thruster.
312401/B
47
Harbour: Both DGs are running. Both bus-ties are closed. This mode allows the bow thruster to be started. If the load is low, and the bow thruster is not running, the stand-by DG will automatically be disconnected and stopped. This is blocked if the thruster is running or the STOP BLOCK switch in the Diesel Generator Distributed Processing Unit is activated. At sea: The SG is running. Both bus-ties are closed. The bow thruster is blocked for starting. Both DGs are stopped and stand-by ready for start. Cargo handling: Bus-tie 2 is open. One or two DGs power consumers on port bus bar. The SG is powering heavy consumers on the stand-by bus bar. The bow thruster is blocked for starting. Manoeuvre: Bus-tie 1 is open. One or two DGs power consumers on port busbar. The shaft generator power the bow thruster only. Transition between these modes is possible in two ways: Mode control: Selection of one of the pre-dened operational modes, leading to a set of actions which the operator has to perform in order to put the Power Generating System into that mode. One-touch mode control: Selection of one of the pre-dened operational modes, leading to a sequence of automatic events to put the Power Generating system into that mode. This one-touch control is to be made from the Operator Station. Always when changing mode from shaft generator powering the net, to auxiliary generators powering the net, or to split net operation, the Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit will give a start and connect command to at least two auxiliary generators. Upon reception of this command, the Power Management System will only start one diesel at a time.
Shaft Generator overload
The Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit will check for overload of the shaft generator. If overloaded for more than a pre-dened period of time, a request for split net is generated.
Shaft- and Auxiliary Generators in parallel
There is an adjustable time limit for parallel load sharing between shaft- and auxiliary generators. The bus-tie will automatically be disconnected when parallel load sharing exceeds this time limit.
Shaft Generator control functions
The shaft generator is interfaced to the integrated control and alarm/monitoring system via the Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit. The Shaft Generator Distributed Processing
48
312401/B
System description
Unit has facilities for remote start and stop. A speed drop function versus load enable the shaft generator to be run in parallel with diesel generators. When the controller is set to remote operation mode, the following functions are available: Manual start from keyboard and mimic diagrams Manual stop from keyboard and mimic diagrams Automatic stop in case of alarms on main engine or the shaft generator itself Monitoring of critical parameters when the shaft generator is running (additional function to controller, with its own safety functions for the shaft generator) When the shaft generator is connected, the master Distributed Processing Unit will do load sharing on the diesel generator in parallel with the shaft generator. The frequency on the bus bar is a result of the ME (Main Engine) speed. Parallel load sharing between shaft generator and diesel generators are limited in time, controlled from the Power Management System. The Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit and the Distributed Processing Units perform the functions for the Power Management System completely independent of the Alarm and Monitoring System.

The Operator Station is a type approved personal computer, connected to a colour graphics display and a printer. Operator input is either done through a standard personal computer keyboard or through specially designed Operator Panels, providing easy access to the different operator functions. Figure 4 Operator Station (OS)
The Operator Station can be supplied with a printer (for on-demand printing), an alarm printer, log printer or colour hard copy unit. When a Distributed Process Unit detects an alarm condition, several things happens. In the Alarm Navigator the alarm group which contains the alarm will start to icker. The alarm is also displayed in the lower right corner of the colour graphics display, a buzzer is turned on and the Alarm Printer automatically prints the alarm. By clicking on the ickering alarmgroup, more detailed alarm information is displayed on the colour graphics display. Detailed sensor information for any Distributed Process Unit, such as alarm or normal status data, can also be shown on the colour graphics display, or printed on demand. Sensor data can be presented as a bar graph (analogue sensors) or a trend curve (analogue and digital sensors). Selected

sensor data may be printed automatically at xed intervals. The system can display the latest alarms for each alarm group individually or all active alarms. The logging printer and the colour graphics display records all status changes, such as alarm acknowledgements and alarm condition cleared. When all alarm conditions are cleared, the system returns to normal. Alarm limits and delays are adjustable by using the Operator Panel. A counter function keeps track of running hours for engines, pumps and related items. This function can also accumulate ow. Counter values are shown on the colour graphics display or may be printed. The Operator Station is used when transferring machinery watch responsibility between bridge and engine control room, and selecting the engineer for watch-call duty. All available engineers, whether on duty or not, may be called to the engine control room in case of an emergency.
3.2.2 Midi Operator Station (MOS)

The Midi Operator Station is a multipurpose Operator Station designed to be placed anywhere on the ship, even out on deck. It allows alarm indication, process control and power management. Operation is performed through a set of function keys and a high resolution colour graphical display. For small alarm systems it can be the only Operator Station. The Midi Operator Station contains a symbol library for presentation of process control equipment and uses these to display mimic diagrams. Figure 5 Alarm and Monitoring System (cJoy)

3.3 Watch Calling System

3.3.1 Purpose
The watch calling system is designed to allow the engine room and the control room to be periodically unmanned. It consists of: Watch Bridge Units (WBU) Watch Cabin Units (WCU) Operator Stations The main purposes of Watch Bridge Units are: To indicate the Watch Responsible area To indicate who is On Duty To indicate the current alarm status To sound a buzzer whenever a new alarm condition occurs and someone is On Duty To allow you to contact (call) duty personnel, and/or all personnel The main purposes of Watch Cabin Units are: To indicate who is On Duty To indicate the current alarm status To indicates when you are being called and who is calling To sound a buzzer whenever a new alarm condition occurs Figure 10 Basic Watch Calling System components
3.3.2 Watch Calling repeat alarm feature

The repeat alarm feature of the Watch Calling System monitors all responses to an alarm condition to ensure that the alarm is acknowledged. The repeat alarm feature distributes the alarms using three sequences to ensure that the alarm will not go unacknowledged:
First-time/original alarm
The rst-time/original alarm is relayed to:

3.3.3 Watch Bridge Unit (WBU)

Two different types of Watch Bridge Units exist, an LED and a LCD type. Both are used to indicate and accept the transfer of machine watch responsibility between bridge and engine control room. The LED type has more alarm indicators and the LCD type has a display to show alarms in clear text. Figure 11 Watch Bridge Unit (WBU), LCD type
312401/B
59
Figure 12
Watch Bridge Unit (WBU), LED type
When the bridge has the machinery watch responsibility, one or more engineers must be on call. A general alarm signal will call them to the engine control room if an alarm condition arises. The alarm indication on the Watch Bridge Unit is a buzzer sound and a single or group alarm lamp which is ashing. When an alarm is acknowledged in the engine control room, or the situation is cleared, appropriate indications are given on the Watch Bridge Unit. The K-Chief 500 prevents the bridge from assuming watch responsibility if no engineers are assigned to on call duty. The bridge personnel may call the engineers on-duty in their quarters at any time, for consultation etc. Acknowledgement of such calls is provided. Alarm indication can be provided when the bridge is not having the machinery watch. Indicators show when an alarm has been acknowledged in the engine control room but the buzzer will not sound.
3.3.4 Watch Cabin Unit (WCU)

Two different types of Watch Cabin Units exist, an LED and a LCD type. Both are used to indicate engine room alarms. They are placed in the engineers cabins and in public areas. The LED type has more alarm indicators and the LCD type has a display to show alarms in clear text.

Watch Cabin Unit (WCU), LED type
To set the machinery watch responsibility system to bridge mode one or more engineers must be on call. When an alarm condition arises a general alarm signal is sounded in the duty engineers cabins and in the public areas. The visual alarm indication on the Watch Cabin Unit consists of single or group alarm lamps. When the bridge has the machinery watch responsibility, one or more engineers must be on call. When an alarm situation occur the alarm signal will be given, both in the duty-engineers cabin and in the public areas. The visual alarm indication on the Watch Cabin Units are that a buzzer sounds and a single or group alarm lamp is ashing. The engineer will then normally go to the engine control room to nd the cause of the alarm.
312401/B
61
When the alarm is acknowledged in the engine control room, or the situation is cleared, the alarm condition is cleared from the Watch Cabin Units. If the engineer does not acknowledge within a specied period of time, the alarm signal is repeated in the engineers quarters, and on the bridge, until it is acknowledged. The system can also be used to call an engineer to the bridge or the engine control room without an alarm condition. Alarm indication without sounding the buzzer is congurable when the Watch Calling System is in off-duty mode.

3.4.13 Process Segment Starcoupler (PSS)

The CAN line is vulnerable to both short-circuit and non-terminal line conditions. A short-circuit or a broken line will disable the entire CAN segment. The Process Segment Starcoupler protects two sections of a CAN segment from each other. Each terminal on the Process Segment Starcoupler is based on the ISO 11898 standard, with optical isolation. The Process Segment Starcoupler also protects the terminals against dominant bits that are not part of a CAN message. Thus short-circuit or malfunction on one CAN terminal does not affect the other CAN terminals. The maximum length of one CAN segment at 125 kBaud is 530 m. A segment going through a Process Star Coupler is limited to 515 m. This length is the maximum line length between any two nodes in the CAN segment. For that reason it is advised to use the Process Segment Starcoupler to split two sections of a process segment, where the segment is running through rough environment or re zones.

3.4.14 Voltage Converter Controller (VCC)

The VCC-440 module is designed for use in main switchboards. The module secures the installation of the power management and generator protection system by transforming the higher voltages to low and safe levels. The VCC-440 module is equipped with six voltage transformers to transform from 440 to 24 VAC. The module handles three major tasks: To supply the C3 generator protection module with AC voltage from the measured three phase generator bus bars, L1-L2, L1-L3 and L2-L3, derated from 440 to 24 VAC To supply the C3 generator protection module with 24 VDC power (1 A), using the generator busbar (L2-L3) as source To supply the C4 power management module with a single phase AC voltage from the generator busbar L1-L2 and the switchboard busbar L1-L2, derated from 440 to 24 VAC As an option, the VCC module can be equipped with transformers for 690 VAC.

3.5 Gateways
3.5.1 Gateway types
Two types of gateways are available: System Gateway (SGW) The SGW is used as a redundant gateway between the CAN-bus and the Local Area Network. Dual Processing System Controller (dPSC) The dPSC is used as a redundant gateway between two CAN segments (sections of the CAN-bus). The main purposes of both units are to provide galvanic isolation between different parts of the network and to segregate process bus trafc in large systems. Messages are then converted between the network parts, while maintaining redundancy. Both units provide a service to protect all nodes (Distributed Processing Units, Watch Bridge Unit, Watch Cabin Units and Operator Panels) connected to the CAN-bus. If the communication with one node fails, the gateway will generate a system failure message identifying the node and the failure. The Dual Process System Controller may also be equipped with supervisory control logic for particularly demanding tasks.
3.5.2 The System Gateway (SGW)

The System Gateway is a four channel CAN-bus to dual Local Area Network gateway. Its main task is to receive messages from the two CAN-buses and update the Operator Stations. Handling of operator commands and down-loading of parameters and software from the Operator Stations to the nodes (Distributed Processing Units) are handled as well. The System Gateway will route global CAN-bus messages between the four CAN-buses. Global messages are data messages needed in more than one bus segment, typically messages for inhibiting or blocking alarms during start-up or shut-down. The System Gateway functions as an intelligent message converter, sending and receiving data between any of its CAN channels and units having Process Data Segment located on the Local Area Network. The converter function will pre-process CAN messages and load them into a local database for distribution. The opposite way the converter will convert messages from Process Data Segment and route them to the relevant node (Distributed Processing Units or Local Operator panels). All necessary conguration and software installation is done through the Local Area Network. The Simple Network Management Protocol is implemented to gain access via the
74
312401/B
Unit descriptions
Local Area Network to System Gateway and CAN diagnostic databases. Galvanic isolation is provided between the 24 Vdc power input and the System Gateway interfaces.
3.5.3 Dual Process Segment Controller (dPSC)

The dual Process Segment Controller is a dual two channel CAN gateway. It consist of two processors, each with two CAN interfaces. The two processors have separate power connections, and they share information via dual port memory. In this way the two processors are able to run in parallel and provide redundancy both for CAN-bus communication and for logic functions. The main function is to process messages from the local CAN-bus segment and send them on the global CAN bus, where they are available for other dual Process Segment Controllers and System Gateways. It handles operator commands and down-loading of parameters and software from any System Gateway or Operator Station to the Distributed Processing Units connected to the local CAN-bus. When the dual Process Segment Controller is controlling a set of Distributed Processing Units, both processors are working in parallel running the same process algorithm. In this way the dual Process Segment Controller operates as a running back-up. The dual Process Segment Controller is equipped with a dual serial interface (RS422/RS485), primarily designated to communicate with other vendors equipment. Galvanic isolation is provided between the power connections and the CAN-bus and between the two CAN-buses. Figure 29 Dual Process Segment Controller (dPSC)
The main features of the dPSC are: Dual two channel CAN gateway with separate and galvanic isolated processors Possible to power the two processors from separate power supplies High speed data-link between the two processors

4.2.10 How processes are displayed and controlled

The number of images in a system depends on the amount of equipment under K-Chief 500 control. The system is designed in a way which gives varying levels of detail about the process depending on which image is selected. When an image showing an overall process is selected, there may not be enough room to display all the details on a single screen. The K-Chief 500 system will then have a number of images linked to the main image in order to show these details. This is exemplied by the following two images. The rst image is an example of a Thermal oil primary system. The second image displays details of one Cargo heating secondary system. The second image appears when the grey button down to the right on the rst image is pushed. Figure 39 Primary system image (Thermal oil)

6.2.3 How alarms are printed after a black-out

Loss of ships power
The Distributed Processing Units (24 Volt DC) and the Operator Stations (230 Volt AC) are supported by separate uninterruptible power supplies. The system will maintain power for 30 minutes after a blackout. Each Distributed Processing Unit timestamps its own alarms immediately when they occur. This time stamping is very accurate. All alarms are sorted and printed out according to the time they were detected.
Loss of power to Operator Stations
The Distributed Processing Units store all the alarm information. If the Operator Stations loose power, the system will continue to operate When power is restored to the Operator Stations, all alarms are sorted and printed out according to the time they were detected.

6.3.38 How to make your own long trend display

Introduction to long trend
The system maintains a log of all changes to all tags for the last 24 hours. In addition, it is possible to congure up to 100 tags for long time trending. The logging interval may be set for each tag individually, ranging from 1 minute (giving 5 days) to 20 minutes (giving 100 days). To display the data, the long trend display is used. The long trend display contains a graph selector panel, where you can select between up to eight different graph views. Each graph view can have up to eight plots. You can select any of the congured tags for plot presentation. You may also manipulate the y-axis settings individually to make a more readable picture. The settings may be saved and will automatically be reloaded upon system restart.

Long Trend Logging
The main purpose of the long term log is documentation to classication societies that no wear has occurred. This log will give a good overview if there exists a slow progressing wear that can be repaired before it becomes critical. The following data is logged per cylinder: TAGS Sensor value FORE Sensor value AFT Average sensor value Sensor deviation FORE Sensor deviation AFT Cylinder value Type of value Maximum value Minimum value Average value Data will be stored on:
c:\ros\pdslog\BWlog\LongTermData
Each cylinder will have its own le:

Cylxx-yyyy.csv
where xx is the number of the cylinder and yyyy the year. A new log le will be started each year. These les can be copied and be opened in an Excel sheet. The following information is available in this le: Heading Sample time The rst line is the heading. Each tag name shows up 3 times. First the average value, then minimum and maximum:
CYL01-AVE-S;CYL01-AVE-S min;CYL01-AVE-S max;......
The rst column is the sample time:

Short Trend Alarm Logging
When a bearing wear alarm occurs (sensor deviation, cylinder deviation or sensor average), a preserved short trend alarm log will be stored. Values for all tags related to the bearing wear system will be stored. Data is preserved for 23 hours before the alarm and 1 hour after the alarm. This will be stored on
c:\ros\Pdslog\BWlog\Preserved
and saved in separate folders. The name of the folder is given by the date and time when the alarm occurs. It is possible to trend a preserved alarm folder. All details regarding the use of short trend displays are described in How to make your own short trend display on page 162. To be able to trend preserved data, the correct folder has to be selected, as shown below: Figure 114 Short trend display, selection of preserved folder (24 h log data)

6.7.3 Cylinder Liner Fluctuating monitoring (scufng)

The background for this function is to avoid problems with scufng inside cylinders (piston wall). Fluctuating temperatures of the cylinder liners is an indication of scufng. To be able to check scufng conditions, the system stores a number of samples and calculates the difference between the largest and the lowest cylinder liner temperature within the set of samples. This is the maximum uctuation in the temperature. By exceeding the alarm limit, the system will generate an alarm. The calculation of uctuation is performed continuously on each cylinder liner temperature sensor. The highest and lowest liner temperature is detected in the set of samples. The uctuation in the temperature is the difference between these two temperatures. The uctuation is re-calculated every time the oldest sample is replaced with a new sample. The system will also generate an alarm if the uctuation calculated for this temperature is greater than the alarm high-high limit, compared with the mean value for this engine.
Fluctuating alarm alarm high
An alarm is activated if the difference between the smallest sample and the largest sample is more than acceptable.
312401/B
271
Fluctuating deviation alarm alarm high high (scufng)
This liner temperatures uctuation is compared with the mean uctuation of all liner temperatures of this engine. There can be more than one liner temperature measurement to each cylinder. An alarm is activated if the difference between this uctuating and the mean uctuating is larger than the alarm high-high limit.
Activate priming
The alarm high-high situation (deviation alarm) will activate the priming relay. This can be used for activating priming for the actual cylinder.
Blocking
The alarms are not calculated if blocking is activated by the blocking input reference or the liner temperature is below inhibit low limit. The following conditions will disable alarm monitoring and priming: Cylinder liner temp below low limit Cylinder liner temp above high limit Blocking tag with tag value below blocking limit
Cylinder Liner monitoring mimic
When the operator selects the Cylinder Liner Temperature mimic, the navigator will open the monitoring mimic. This mimic contents the following detailed information regarding Cylinder liner monitoring: Cylinder liner temperature shown in text and bar graph Cylinder liner deviation temperature in text Fluctuate temperature Fluctuate deviation high high alarm (scufng) Mean cylinder liner temperature Mean uctuating temperature

Pump symbols have colours according to the state they are in. Arrow outline colour Green: Running Grey: Stopped Arrow ll colour For two-speed pumps only: Arrow ll green: Full speed Arrow outline green: Low speed Circle colour Green: Running and remote Grey: Stopped and remote Blue: Blocked Red: Alarm White: Local - not ready Yellow: Stand-by Orange: Invalid
Parameters
Timeout: Time out for start and stop commands. Wait change direction: Wait time when changing speed direction. Pulse on: Pulse duration for start and stop commands. Blackout restart time: The time the equipment is blocked from auto restarting after a blackout. Stopped time: Stand still time when changing speed with stop pulse.
312401/B
285
Alarm and event enable
Parameters for enabling and disabling alarms and events are available. Some alarms must be enabled at all times due to classication society requirements. Start fail and trip alarms are among these. The following conditions will result in alarms, and the starter will be set to manual: Trip Start failure Stop failure Started without commanded
Modes
The starter can be operated in two different modes; auto and manual. Auto: A unit can be automatically started and stopped Manual: Only manual start and stop is possible Restart after blackout applies to both auto and manual modes. The function is activated when the timer is set to a value larger than zero, and the blackout detector is referred to by the tag reference. The shut down and start block functions are active both in auto and manual modes.
Single acting control
A relay is used to start and stop the controlled unit. The relay is closed as long as the unit is meant to be running, and opened when the unit is meant to be stopped. This functionality applies to one way, one speed units only. If the controlled unit does not include a sensor to know if it is running, the starter will generate the feedback signal internally. In this way the event information sent from the starter includes the current running information.
Blackout
Some equipment starters (provided by some manufacturers) have the local/remote switch connected serially with the power failure switch. On a blackout, the starter will lose the remote signal. It is important that the starter detects the blackout before it is set to local, and that the remote signal is back before the starter receives recover from blackout. To solve this set the delay to Off at the running and remote feedback, and the delay to On for the system blackout signal.

8.3.3 How to operate a compressor

Purpose
The main purpose of the compressor starter is to control the compressors in a compressed air system. The compressor starter provides automatic start on low pressure and stop on high pressure. The compressed air system may include one or more compressors with analogue or binary pressure sensors. The gure below describes a compressor system with one common analogue pressure signal. Figure 122 sensor A 2-compressor system with common pressure
The compressor starter monitors pressure and running signals. Compressors are started if the pressure is lower than the set limit and stopped if it is higher. The following functions are handled:
Compressor starter functions
To control the compressor the following functions and features are available: Alarm reporting for start and stop failure Alarm reporting for tripping or started without commanded Auto and manual control Automatic time delayed restart when recovering from blackout Blocking from operation when local switch is active or during blackout Automatic shut down Optional time stamping of every change of operation, allowing the system to record time of starting, running and stopping
Compressor control types
Analogue pressure 1: One analogue pressure
312401/B
299
Analogue pressure 2: Two analogue pressures Binary pressure with hysteresis: Pressure switches with built in hysteresis Binary pressure without hysteresis: Separate pressure switches for start and stop
Compressor symbol
To illustrate a compressor the following symbol is used: Figure 123 Compressor symbol
Compressor symbol colours
The compressor symbol has colours according to the state it is in. Arrow colour Green: Running Grey: Stopped Circle colour Green: Running and remote Grey: Stopped and remote Blue: Blocked Red: Alarm White: Local - not ready Yellow: Stand-by Orange: Invalid
Leader follower compressor system
A leader follower compressor system includes a symbol for each compressor. (It has also a symbol which shows if it is in auto or manual.) The compressor symbol is displayed above.
300
312401/B
Figure 124
Priorities
For automatic operation the compressor starter must be set to auto mode. The compressor starter assigns different start and stop priorities as follows: Leader 1st follower 2nd follower 3rd follower A compressor can only have one priority at a time. The priority denes in which order the compressors will start and stop. The start setting for the 1st follower must be lower or equal to the leader start setting, and the stop setting for the rst follower must be lower or equal to the leader stop setting. All followers are stopped when the leader stop setting is reached. For systems with analogue pressure sensors, all followers are stopped when reaching the alarm high high limit.
Pressure tags
Command timeout: The time the starter will wait before signalling command timeout. Pressure lter: The length of time the pressure may stay below the start limit before the compressor is started. Wait pressure at start: When a compressor is starting, a new compressor is started if the pressure has not increased to above the start limit when the time has expired. Blackout recover: The time the compressors are blocked from auto restarting after a blackout.
Start/stop conditions
Start and stop conditions are adjustable by changing parameters. Start
312401/B
301
Systems using both binary and analogue pressure sensors have separate start settings for each priority. Start conditions are: Pressure lower than the start limit. When a compressor is starting, a new compressor is started if the pressure has not increased to above the start limit when a set time has expired. Stop The stop limit can be the same for all compressors, or individual. When analogue pressure sensors are used, each priority has separate stop settings. When binary pressure sensors are used, separate sensors can be used to dene the stop limit for each priority. A common stop sensor can also be used. All priorities are stopped by the stop leader setting. Stop conditions are: Pressure higher than the stop limit Stop leader signal is active High-high pressure Auto Two modes exist, auto and manual. Select auto mode to set the compressor automation functionality in operation. Auto mode operation requires that the starter is not blocked, or in any way disabled from operating. In the following different examples for start and stop conditions are given. Leader control The leader compressor has its own start and stop limits. Figure 125 Leader start stop limit
Start follower on pressure drop Each priority has its own start and stop settings. A compressor set to a priority will start when the pressure lowers below its start setting, and stop when the pressure rises above its stop setting.
302
312401/B
Figure 126
Start 1st follower on pressure setting
Figure 127
Start two followers on pressure setting
Start follower after a time delay The 1st follower can start on its own pressure setting, or a time delay after a start condition for the leader compressor. The 2nd and 3rd followers will start in similar ways. There is no delayed start on the start conditions for the topping up compressor. Figure 128 Start follower after a time delay - principle diagram
In the illustration below, the third follower will start after a time delay. The timer is started when the 2nd follower meets its start conditions. If the pressure falls below third followers start conditions before the timer has expired, the third follower will start immediately.
312401/B
303
Figure 129
Start followers after a time delay
The followers are started on timer. The timer is started when the leader has start conditions. If the rst and the second compressor does not start on their own start settings, the third follower is started 3 times; start delay after the leader had its start condition. Figure 130 Followers start timers
In the illustration bellow, the followers are started after time delays. The delay starts when the leader meets its start conditions. If the rst follower meets its own start condition (before the delay has expired), the second and third followers will reset their timers, and count the time from this event. Figure 131 Interrupted start timer
Built in hysteresis This function operates using two pressure switches: The leader will start and stop based on the high pressure switch The follower will start and stop in correspondence with the state of the low pressure switch
304
312401/B
Figure 132
Built in hysteresis
By adjusting the pressure switches differently, the two compressors will function as a pair where one starts before the other. Two analogue pressures In two reservoir systems the compressors are started when one the pressure sensors indicate below the start limit. The compressors are stopped when both of the pressure sensors increase above the stop limit. Figure 133 Two analogue pressures
Overhaul function Two reservoir system have an overhaul function. That is when one of the reservoirs is disabled from being part of the auto start and stop logic. There are two ways of setting a reservoir to overhaul: Set the pressure sensors belonging to the reservoir to off scan. The sensor is not included when checking the auto start and stop limits for the compressors. Set a button in the mimic or physical switch on the equipment to out of service. Different congurations are available as required by the customer.

Parameters
Timeout: Time out for start and stop commands. Wait change direction: Wait time when changing speed direction. Pulse on: Pulse duration for start and stop commands. Blackout restart time: The time the equipment is blocked from auto restarting after a blackout. Stopped time: Stand still time when changing speed with stop pulse
312401/B
319
Alarm and event enable
Parameters for enabling and disabling alarms and events are available. Some alarms must be enabled at all times due to classication society requirements. Start fail and trip alarms are among these. The following conditions will result in alarms, and the starter will be set to manual: Trip Start failure Stop failure Started without commanded
Modes
The starter can be operated in two different modes; auto and manual. Auto: A unit can be automatically started and stopped Manual: Only manual start and stop is possible Restart after blackout applies to both auto and manual modes. The function is activated when the timer is set to a value larger than zero, and the blackout detector is referred to by the tag reference. The shut down and start block functions are active both in auto and manual modes.
Single acting control
A relay is used to start and stop the controlled unit. The relay is closed as long as the unit is meant to be running, and opened when the unit is meant to be stopped. This functionality applies to one way, one speed units only. If the controlled unit does not include a sensor to know if it is running, the starter will generate the feedback signal internally. In this way the event information sent from the starter includes the current running information.
Blackout
Some equipment starters (provided by some manufacturers) have the local/remote switch connected serially with the power failure switch. On a blackout, the starter will lose the remote signal. It is important that the starter detects the blackout before it is set to local, and that the remote signal is back before the starter receives recover from blackout. To solve this set the Offdelay, at the running and remote feedback, and the Ondelay, for the system blackout signal.

8.4.4 How to operate a compressor

Purpose
The main purpose of the compressor starter is to control the compressors in a compressed air system. The compressor starter provides automatic start on low pressure and stop on high pressure. The compressed air system may include one or more compressors with analogue or binary pressure sensors. The gure below describes a compressor system with one common analogue pressure signal.
330
312401/B
Figure 142 sensor
A 2-compressor system with common pressure
The compressor starter monitors pressure and running signals. Compressors are started if the pressure is lower than the set limit and stopped if it is higher. The following functions are handled:
Compressor starter functions
To control the compressor the following functions and features are available: Alarm reporting for start and stop failure Alarm reporting for tripping or started without commanded Auto and manual control Automatic time delayed restart when recovering from blackout Blocking from operation when local switch is active or during blackout Automatic shut down Optional time stamping of every change of operation, allowing the system to record time of starting, running and stopping
Compressor control types
Analogue pressure 1: One analogue pressure Analogue pressure 2: Two analogue pressures Binary pressure with hysteresis: Pressure switches with built in hysteresis Binary pressure without hysteresis: Separate pressure switches for start and stop
Compressor symbols
Compressors have the following symbol;

Compressor symbol colours
The compressor symbols have colour according to the state they are in. Arrow colour Green: Running Grey: Stopped Circle colour Green: Running and remote Grey: Stopped and remote Blue: Blocked Red: Alarm White: Local - not ready Yellow: Stand-by Orange: Invalid
A leader follower compressor system includes a symbol for each compressor. Figure 144 Leader follower compressor system
Priorities
For automatic operation the compressor starter must be set to auto mode. The compressor starter assigns different start and stop priorities as follows:
332
312401/B
Leader 1st follower 2nd follower 3rd follower A compressor can only have one priority at a time. The priority denes in which order the compressors will start and stop. The start setting for the 1st follower must be lower or equal to the leader start setting, and the stop setting for the rst follower must be lower or equal to the leader stop setting. All followers are stopped when the leader stop setting is reached. For systems with analogue pressure sensors, all followers are stopped when reaching the alarm high high limit.
Pressure parameters
Command timeout: The time the starter will wait before signalling command timeout. Pressure lter: The length of time the pressure may stay below the start limit before the compressor is started. Wait pressure at start: When a compressor is starting, a new compressor is started if the pressure has not increased to above the start limit when this timer has expired. Blackout recover: The time the compressors are blocked from auto restarting after a blackout.
Start/stop conditions
Start and stop conditions are adjustable by changing parameters. Start Systems using both binary and analogue pressure sensors have separate start settings for each priority. Start conditions are: Pressure lower than the start limit. When a compressor is starting, a new compressor is started if the pressure has not increased to above the start limit when a set time has expired. Stop The stop limit can be the same for all compressors, or individual. When analogue pressure sensors are used, each priority has separate stop settings. When binary pressure sensors are used, separate sensors can be used to dene the stop limit for each priority. A common stop sensor can also be used. All priorities are stopped by the stop leader setting. Stop conditions are: Pressure higher than the stop limit
312401/B
333
Stop leader signal is active High-high pressure Auto Two modes exist, auto and manual. Select auto mode to set the compressor automation functionality in operation. Auto mode operation requires that the starter is not blocked, or in any way disabled from operating. In the following different examples for start and stop conditions are given. Leader control The leader compressor has its own start and stop limits. Figure 145 Leader start stop limit
Start follower on pressure drop Each priority has its own start and stop settings. A compressor set to a priority will start when the pressure lowers below its start setting, and stop when the pressure rises above its stop setting. Figure 146 Start 1st follower on pressure setting
Figure 147
Start two followers on pressure setting
Start follower after a time delay
334
312401/B
The 1st follower can start on its own pressure setting, or a time delay after a start condition for the leader compressor. The 2nd and 3rd followers will start in similar ways. There is no delayed start on the start conditions for the topping up compressor. Figure 148 Start follower after a time delay - principle diagram
In the illustration below, the third follower will start after a time delay. The timer is started when the 2nd follower meets its start conditions. If the pressure falls below third followers start conditions before the timer has expired, the third follower will start immediately. Figure 149 Start followers after a time delay
The followers are started on timer. The timer is started when the leader has start conditions. If the rst and the second compressor does not start on their own start settings, the third follower is started 3 times; start delay after the leader had its start condition. Figure 150 Followers start timers
312401/B
335
In the illustration bellow, the followers are started after time delays. The delay starts when the leader meets its start conditions. If the rst follower meets its own start condition (before the delay has expired), the second and third followers will reset their timers, and count the time from this event. Figure 151 Interrupted start timer
Built in hysteresis This function operates using two pressure switches: The leader will start and stop based on the high pressure switch The follower will start and stop in correspondence with the state of the low pressure switch Figure 152 Built in hysteresis
By adjusting the pressure switches differently, the two compressors will function as a pair where one starts before the other. Two analogue pressures In two reservoir systems the compressors are started when one of the pressure sensors indicate below the start limit. The compressors are stopped when both of the pressure sensors increase above the stop limit.
336
312401/B
Figure 153
Two analogue pressures
Overhaul function Two reservoirs system have an overhaul function. That is when one of the reservoirs is disabled from being part of the auto start and stop logic. There are two ways of setting a reservoir to overhaul: Set the pressure sensors belonging to the reservoir to off scan. The sensor is not included when checking the auto start and stop limits for the compressors. Set a button in the mimic or physical switch on the equipment to out of service. Different congurations are available as required by the customer.

9 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES, POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

9.1 Overview
This chapter teaches you how to use the Power Management System (PMS) of the K-Chief 500 system. It is intended for personnel familiar with the Getting Started and Alarm and Monitoring sections of this manual. The following subjects are covered: Operator Station PMS control Midi Operator Station PMS control
9.2 About the Power Management System

Change-over functionality
Any alarm for the generator set can be congured to have change over functionality. When any of these alarms are given, a standby diesel generator starts and connects. The failing generator will then unload and disconnect. After the generator is disconnected the diesel generator may continue running, cool-down and stop, or stop directly. This is dependent on the conguration.
Automatic start and connect when blackout occurs
When a main switchboard blackout occurs, the 1st standby diesel generator will start and connect. If it fails to start or connect, the next standby diesel generator will start and connect. It is possible to congure the system to start more than one standby generator on blackout.
Load dependent start and stop of stand-by generators
When a high load occurs on the connected generator(s), the 1st standby generator will start and connect. When the load decreases enough to let a generator disconnect without overloading the remaining, the 1st to stop generator will disconnect and stop.
Control of heavy consumers start request and start granted
When a heavy consumer start request is received, the Power Management System will check for available power. If enough power is available and a predened number of generators are connected, the Power Management System gives a start granted to the consumer.
312401/B
347
If enough power is not available, the standby generator(s) will automatically start and connect. When enough power is available, a start granted is given to the consumer. When more than one heavy consumer sends a request for start, only one is granted at a time. The Power Management System remembers all start requests and enables them in sequence.

Overview
The following is a list of available tag types in the K-Chief 500 system.
Note
This is a general list of tags. Your system may therefore not have all the mentioned tags. A tag type denes the software used to read a channel on a Distributed Processing Unit. A channel is where a signal is physically connected to a Distributed Processing Unit. The tag type denes which application to run on the signal. Example: If channel no. 2 in a Remote Analogue Input module (RAi-16) is tag type 20, the input signal is 4-20 mA.

Some of the parameters are further explained below.
312401/B
389
Enable alarms and events
Alarms may be enabled or disabled by altering the value of the enable parameters. Select YES for enable, NO for disable.
Gradient parameters
The gradient calculation uses the ltered value as input. In order to make the gradient more robust against noise, it is calculated based on a moving average over the three last samples of the ltered value. When the process value falls below the block limit, the gradient alarm will be blocked. Above this process value, the gradient alarm is activated if the calculated gradient value exceeds the gradient limit. Block limit: A process value below this limit inhibits the gradient alarm. Gradient limit: The gradient alarm is activated if the gradient value (in units/sec) exceeds this limit.
Alarm and event limits
Alarm and event limits are entered in technical units. Each alarm and event limit has its own enable ag. If the enable ag is set, the alarm/event status will be updated. If the enable ag is not set, the corresponding status is cleared. The ltered process value is compared with four alarm and four event limits. The alarm and event status is updated as following (if the enable ag is set): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 LL= on, if Filtered_value < alarm_LL limit L = on, if Filtered_value < alarm_L limit H = on, if Filtered_value > alarm_H limit HH = on, if Filtered_value > alarm_HH limit Ev_1 = on, if Filtered_value > event_1 limit Ev_2 = on, if Filtered_value > event_2 limit Ev_3 = on, if Filtered_value > event_3 limit Ev_4 = on, if Filtered_value > event_4 limit
The LL, L, H and HH alarms are activated as soon as the alarm delay has expired.
Filter time
The lter function is a 2nd order Butterworth lter. The scaled process value is ltered with a user dened lter time constant, which denes the cut-off frequency for the lter. The time constant resolution is 0.1 seconds. A time constant = 0 disables the lter, hence the lowest cut-off frequency is 10 Hz with the time constant set to 0.1 seconds.

312401/B
Reference Guide
Dynamic dead band
The dynamic dead band is entered in engineering units with the same number of decimals as specied for the process value. The dynamic dead band parameter is only in use if the external tag parameter is set to YES. This parameter is used for dynamic update of the process value for external tag users. When the process value becomes greater/less than the last sent value with more than the dynamic dead-band, a new value is sent.
Scaling parameters
The scaling parameters are given in corresponding pairs of technical values and measured values read from the analogue to digital converter. The technical sensor range is: Eng. Units High Eng. Units Low The instrument range is: Counts High Counts Low Figure 181 Scaling parameters
Measured values
Each channel is sampled from a 16 bit analogue to digital converter every 10 milliseconds. The result of this sampling is a value in the range 0 to 65535 counts. Depending on the type of signal connected, the legal count range may be less. The table below shows the count range for the different signal types available:

The RTD elements are automatically calculated based on interpolation with values fetched from a pre-dened table. The scaling parameters are therefore not adjustable. The potentiometer signal types are automatically calculated based on a conversion algorithm. The count scaling parameters are therefore not adjustable.
The Raw Value for a channel is the result of the sampling of the analogue to digital converter. By using the scaling parameters the Scaled Value is calculated, and from this value the raw percent value is calculated ( 100.00). The Scaled Value is used as input to the 2nd order Butterworth lter to produce the Filtered Value.

Parameters specic to counter inputs are described below.

Counter input parameters Filter index
When using the counter as an event counter, it is possible to lter the counter input signal with a digital lter in order to avoid contact noise to be counted. The Filter index parameter species the digital lter cut-off frequency according to the table below.
Filter index 0 Cut-off frequency 1 Hz

Filter index 1 2 3 4 5 6
Cut-off frequency 5 Hz 10 Hz 50 Hz 100 Hz 500 Hz Disabled
Time base
When using the counter for frequency or time measurements, the Time base parameter species in which time unit the measurement shall be calculated. The following values are available:
Time base 0 1 2 3 Time unit Milliseconds Seconds Minutes Hours
Note
Time base = 0 is not available when using the counter in frequency mode.
Pulses per Eng. Unit
When using the counter in frequency measurement mode, the scaling algorithm needs to know the number of pulses generated by the counting sensor per engineering unit. This is specied by the Pulses per Eng Unit parameter. Pulses per engineering unit is for instance: 10 pulses per litre (ow rate) 120 pulses per revolution (engine RPM) 100 of pulses per knot (ship speed)
Counter input measured values Raw value
This value is read directly from the counter. In the event counting mode, this value is the same as the scaled value.

Mean temperature high
The mean temperature high alarm is activated if the calculated mean temperature increases above the mean temperature high limit.
Dynamic deviation alarm limit
Alarm limit at current mean temperature.

Mean temperature block/Deviation temperature high/Deviation temperature low
If the mean temperature falls below the mean temperature block limit, all deviation alarms are inhibited. The Deviation temperature low limit denes the maximum allowed deviation from the mean temperature for each cylinder, when the mean temperature is equal to the mean temperature block limit. The Deviation temperature high limit denes the maximum allowed deviation from the mean temperature for each cylinder, when the mean temperature is equal to the mean temperature high alarm limit. The actual deviation alarm limit is a dynamical calculated alarm limit that each cylinder uses for deviation alarm detection. The gure below gives a graphical illustration of the different parameters.

Parameter name Correction Temperature Cylinder Temperature Reference Normalized Temperature Type Number Number Number Adjustable Yes Yes No Function Correction temperature This temperature tag number Measured temperature + temperature correction
There has to be one exhaust deviation tag item for each cylinder. This tag item checks the normalised cylinder temperature against the deviation alarm limit calculated by the exhaust mean temperature tag item, and activates the exhaust deviation alarm if the normalised temperature is outside the legal deviation range.
Exhaust deviation parameters Correction temperature
Each cylinders Correction temperature is calculated only on request from the operator. This is normally done when the engine is running in steady state at 100 % load. The reason for using a correction temperature is that all cylinders have their own normal operating temperatures, which mostly are not equal to the engine mean temperature. By adding the correction temperature to the real cylinder temperature, the cylinder temperature is normalised, so that the deviation alarm limits are valid for all cylinders. The correction temperature is calculated in the following way:
Correction_temperature = Meantemp - RealCylindertemp
Cylinder temperature reference
The Cylinder temperature reference parameter is a tag number reference to the each cylinders temperature.
Normalised temperature
The Normalised temperature is calculated in the following way:

Cylinder_normalised_temp = RealCylindertemp + Correction_temp
This normalised cylinder temperature is again used for checking against the deviation limits to generate the deviation alarm.

10.4 Engineers safety

10.4.1 Purpose
The Engineers safety system (dead man system) is a system for engineer tness. When activated, the reset button must be pressed by the engineer within a pre-dened time period. If not, the system will indicate Engineer tness alarm.
10.4.2 Functions
Start, stop and reset from push-buttons Control from the Operator Station Warning light activated by relay Alarm horn activated by relay Range check of timers according to IMO rules When active, the system will activate a rotating light after expired time delay. The engineer must now reset the system. If the system is not reset within a new time period, the system will activate an alarm. Reset can be pressed at any time. The system will typically be activated from the Operator Station by selected alarms when running an unattended engine room.
10.4.3 Local control

The system is activated and de-activated manually by a key-switch. The system can also be activated automatically from the alarm system when an engine room alarm occurs during unattended engine room. A number of reset push-buttons are located around the ship.
10.4.4 Operator Station control

When an alarm occurs in bridge watch, the engineer safety handler is activated. The timers are reset every time activated. The timers are not reset by the command from the Operator Station, if already running.

11 MAINTENANCE
11.1 Introduction
The on-board maintenance of the K-Chief 500 system involves both preventive and corrective maintenance. Due to the lack of moving parts, the maintenance actions performed by the operator is very limited. Only the preventive and corrective actions performed by the operator is described in this manual. This consists of the following: Cleaning monitors, panels, cabinets, air lters etc. Running on-line tests Replacing fuses
312401/B
405
11.2 Preventive maintenance

11.2.1 Maintenance schedule
Preventive maintenance routines must be performed regularly and effectively to ensure that the equipment is kept in top condition. Kongsberg Maritime recommends the following preventive maintenance schedule for the Alarm and Monitoring System: Weekly None. 6-monthly Check cables and cable entrances, electrical screw-terminals, fuse connections and plug connections. Yearly Check and, if necessary, calibrate the input sensors and output actuators according to the manufacturers instructions. Kongsberg Maritime recommends that the operation of each unit and its functions is checked after any major maintenance. By major maintenance is understood the removing, testing, calibrating and re-installing or replacement of pressure sensors, temperature sensors etc. After this type of maintenance, we recommend each unit to be re-commissioned according to the instruction given in the relevant maintenance manual. Refer to the Classication Societies and/or the Ships Maintenance Plan (or Sites Maintenance Plan) for obtaining a recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of measuring points and of the alarm system. The societies normally recommend a 3-monthly to 6-monthly schedule.
11.2.2 Weekly maintenance

This maintenance routine applies to units equipped with lamp and/or function test buttons. Pushing function test buttons will not interrupt normal system operation. Do the following:
Operator Stations and Operator Panels
Each week, do the following for each Operator Station and Operator Panel: 1 Clean the front of the panel and graphics display unit using a clean cloth and a solution of warm, mild soapy water not too wet.
Note
Cleaning with abrasive material or strong chemical cleaning solutions is not recommended as these may damage the unit.
406
312401/B
Maintenance
Push LAMP TEST. All alarm groups and the system failure indicators should be lit and the buzzer turned on for about ve seconds. If the test fails, refer to the troubleshooting section in the relevant maintenance manual. If the unit is tted with an air lter, clean it. If any additional preventive maintenance procedures are to be carried out, refer to the description in the relevant manufacturers manual.
Midi Operator Station
Each week, do the following for each Midi Operator Station: 1 Clean the surface of the Midi Operator Station and display screen using a clean damp cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a clean, damp cloth which has been dipped in a solution of a mild dish detergent and water. Wring out rmly before wiping the unit.
Note
Never use cleaning solutions containing spirit or alcohol.

Watch Calling System
Each week, do the following for each Watch Bridge and Watch Cabin Unit: 1 Clean the front of the unit using a clean cloth and a solution of warm, mild soapy water - not too wet. 2 Push LAMP TEST. 3 All indicators should be lit and the buzzer turned on. The display (if any) should display conguration data. If the test fails, refer to the troubleshooting section in the relevant maintenance manual. If one or more LEDs fail to illuminate or the buzzer is silent, replace the unit, as described in the relevant maintenance manual.
Distributed Processing Units
This maintenance routine applies to units equipped with lamp and/or function test buttons. Hence, the Distributed Processing Units do not require weekly maintenance.
11.2.3 6monthly maintenance

Where applicable, check the following parts of the system each 6-months period: 1 Check cables and cable entrances for damage to the cable.
312401/B
407
2 3
Tighten all electrical screw terminals. Tighten all plug connections.
11.2.4 Yearly maintenance

Each year, check and if necessary calibrate the input sensors and output actuators according to the manufacturers instructions. In general, it is not necessary to re-calibrate sensors if the input signal is unchanged. Compare the input signal to this system, with the input signals on other systems or local gauges. Sensors can be calibrated in two ways; by calibrating the sensor or the signal itself, or by calibrating the signal using the software calibration tool built into the K-Chief 500. The calibration software is accessible from the Tag Details menu on the Operator Station, or from the Midi Operator Station when available.

Maintenance
11.3 Corrective maintenance

Corrective maintenance procedures must be performed to replace faulty parts in the event of a system malfunction. The corrective maintenance performed by the operator is limited to replacement of defective fuses. For all other corrective maintenance, refer to the K-Chief 500 Maintenance Manual or other relevant manufacturers manuals.

11.4 Built In Self-Test (BIST)

Note
The K-Chief 500 is a modular system, and for a specic project conguration the DPU models used will vary. The DPUs referred to in this section will therefore not always reect the operators system.
11.4.1 How to handle DPU error codes

All Distributed Processing Units have a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) functionality. These tests report errors to the Operator Stations on the system channel. The following table gives an overview of the error codes and gives appropriate actions to be taken:
Error code 49 48 47 46 45 44 42 41 Error description RAM fail Transmitter overcurrent (RAi-16 and C1 modules) Fuse fail (RDi-32 and C1 modules) CPU Board temperature high Conguration fail dPSC link failure EEPROM read failure Slave CPU application change-over Action Replace the module.
