User Manual 1.1 Terminology
1 Terminology and Abbreviations
1.1 Terminology
1.1.1 Alarm Group
An alarm group is a logical grouping of related alarm channels. A single alarm channel can be included
in more than one alarm group.
1.1.2 Alarm List
The Alarm List is a list containing all standing and/or unacknowledged alarms.
1.1.3 Cut-Out
An alarm channel can be suppressed by a Cut-Out signal in order to prevent the Alarm System from
generating a new alarm in an unwanted situation.
Example: A signal exceeds the preset alarm generation limit, but an alarm is not desired (e.g. when the
physical device is stopped/not running). The alarm channel is "cut-out". A manually or automatically
generated Cut-Out signal suppresses the respective alarm channel.
1.1.4 Field Processing Device
Field Processing Devices FPD 2200 are cabinets which can be set-up in any location on a ship. They are
interconnected by different kinds of communication networks. An FPD 2200 contains the necessary
modules (e.g. Central Processing Module CPM 2200) which are needed to connect all required input and
output channels and interfaces.
1.1.5 Main Control Station
The Main Control Station is the Watch Station of the Main Alarm System. Only at this station, alarms can
be acknowledged after the horn has been silenced. If more than one location on board the ship is
equipped with full remote indication and control facilities to fulfil the Main Control Station requirements, it
is possible to select the Main Control Station location according to the ship’s current environment (Deck/
Ship’s Office when in harbor, Engine Control Room when at sea, etc.).
1.1.6 Watch Station
Alarms are announced and acknowledged at the Watch Station. Each Alarm System can have its own
Watch Station at different selectable locations on board of a ship.

User Manual 2.1 SOD 2200 Main Components
2 Introduction
The System Operating Display SOD 2200 is a control and supervision interface for the Monitoring and
Control System MCS 2200. It handles the alarms generated by the MCS 2200 and the operator
commands.
The SOD 2200 is based on a Windows operating system. In addition to its main window, the SOD 2200
provides pop-up windows and dialogs for informational and operational purposes.
See Section 3 for detailed information about the SOD 2200 layout.
The SOD 2200 operation is keyboard based, but the most functions can be executed by using a track
ball or a standard PC mouse.
See Section 3.1 for detailed information about the operation of the SOD 2200.
Operation processes by the SOD 2200 are kept simple without limiting the operator’s access to all system
information. In fact, the SOD 2200 is able to present complex data in a user-friendly way.
The operator has a clear view of sophisticated workflows and will be able to control even the most
advanced features after just a few hours of practice.
2.1 SOD 2200 Main Components
The SOD 2200 can either be desk-mounted or built into a console. Operation procedures and functions
are identical for both types. They only differ with respect to screen size and type of pointing device.
In the following sections you will read more about the main components of the SOD 2200.
2.1.1 Personal Computer
The PC is the central component of the SOD 2200. It stores all relevant programs on hard disc and has
an interface card for the communication to all FPD 2200.
2.1.2 Screen
The SOD 2200 screen requires standard SXGA resolution (1280x1024) and is able to display graphics
and text at the same time.
2.1.3 Keyboard
The SOD 2200 keyboard is a standard PC keyboard (104/105 keys or more). Function keys (F1..F12) are
dedicated to special SOD 2200 functions and operations.
See Section 4 for SOD 2200 function key operation.
2.1.4 Pointing Device
The SOD 2200 can be equipped with either a track ball or a standard PC mouse.

2 Introduction MCS 2200 - Monitoring and Control System
2.1 SOD 2200 Main Components User Manual
The track ball is permanently mounted on the SOD 2200 console type. It features two push buttons and
a ball. The operator has to roll the ball with his palm or thumb in order to move the cursor to an item and
select/activate it by pushing the respective buttons.
The SOD 2200 mouse is a standard PC mouse and is mounted and operated in the same way as the
track ball.
See Section 3.1.1 and Figure 3-2 for detailed information about the SOD 2200 track ball and mouse oper-
ation.
2.1.5 Printer
An optional printer for report or screen hard copy printing can be connected directly to the SOD 2200.
See Section 4.12 for information about the SOD 2200 printout functions.

3.2.4 Alarm Group Lists
An Alarm Group List displays all alarms assigned to one Alarm Group, regardless of individual alarm
states. The MCS 2200 can display up to 100 Alarm Groups.
The layout of the Alarm Group List and lines is the same as the Alarm List layout. However, in an Alarm
Group List, the entries are listed in alphabetical order of their ID.
An Alarm Group List displays more channels than an Alarm List because some channel have states there
are not listed in the Alarm List, for example Cut-Out channels or simulated channels.
The following table displays the possible alarm channel states in an Alarm Group List:
State Indication Description

NORM Steady, green Alarm channel in normal state, i.e. no alarms and no failures
ALM Flashing, red Unacknowledged alarm, priority 1
ALM Steady, red Acknowledged standing alarm, priority 1
ALM Flashing, magenta Unacknowledged alarm, priority 2
ALM Steady, magenta Acknowledged standing alarm, priority 2
ALM Flashing, yellow Unacknowledged alarm, priority 3
ALM Steady, yellow Acknowledged standing alarm, priority 3
FAIL Flashing, red Unacknowledged sensor fail alarm
FAIL Steady, red Acknowledged sensor fail alarm, outside normal range
Alarm channel with standing alarm. The alarm is suppressed by a
NORM/CA Steady, blue Cut-Out signal.
One of the following MCS 2200 hardware failures has occured for
this alarm channel:
- Field Processing Device FPD 2200 hardware failure
? Steady, white - FPD 2200 power failure
- Connection failure between SOD 2200 and FPD 2200
In this state, the complete Alarm Group List line is displayed
steadily white.

3.2.7 Standard Function Block Diagrams
A Standard Function Block Diagram is divided into 12 sections. Each section represents one Standard
Function Block. One Standard Function Block represents a corresponding machinery component.
815.000 401 / – (2006-09) 27

The following figure displays the layout of a Standard Function Block Diagram. It includes Standard Func-
tion Blocks for pumps, stand-by pumps, valves, and tank measurements.
Fig. 3-15 Standard Function Block Diagram.
A Standard Function Block normally consists of several objects.

Example: Three objects in a Standard Function Block of a pump device:
Object 1: State (Stopped/Running/Failure)

Object 2: Control mode (Local/Remote/Automatic control mode)
Object 3: Interlocks/failures (Interlocks/blocked pump due to failure)
Standard Function Blocks display dynamic information of machinery components (valves, pumps, etc.)
and consist of one or more dynamic objects. A dynamic object indicates the state or value of a machinery
component. Dynamic objects can be an icon (graphical representation), a text, or a numerical value.
Dynamic objects can be either digital or analog obejects.
3.2.7.1 Digital Objects
Digital objects indicate the state of a machinery component, for example a pump device.
A digital object can indicate a number of different states, for example Stopped and Running.
A digital object can display one static indication and two dynamic indications in a Standard Function Block
Diagram.
The ID/name of a machinery component is displayed as a static indication.
28 815.000 401 / – (2006-09)

Both dynamic indications display the actual state of a machinery component. One displays the state as
a text, and the other displays it as an icon. Due to the state of the machinery component, the icon
changes its graphical appearance and color. In case of an alarm, the icon is highlighted by a red back-
ground color.
Stopped pump
Running pump
Fig. 3-16 Examples of icon/text indication.
One, two, or all three indicators (name, state, icon) can be displayed. Normally, all three indicators will
be included in Standard Function Block Diagrams.
It is possible to send commands from a digital object to a machinery component. The name, state text,
and icon are ective elements.
• Select one element in order to open the Command menu
Select the desired command in order to send it to the respective machinery component
Command menu of pump device.
Fig. 3-17 Command menu.
3.2.7.2 Analog Objects
Analog objects indicate a numerical measurement value or an adjustable Field Processing Device FPD
2200 value.
An analog object can display one static indication and two dynamic indications in a Standard Function
Block Diagram.
The ID/name of an object (measurement) is displayed as a static indication.

Both dynamic indications display the value of the measurement. One displays the value as a number, the
other displays a graphical representation (for example a bar graph or pie chart).
It is possible to display one, two, or all three indicators (name, state, icon). Normally, all three indicators
will be displayed in Standard Function Block Diagrams.
815.000 401 / – (2006-09) 29

3.2.8 Mimic Diagrams
Mimic Diagrams provide a clear overview of specific components of a machinery system. Dynamic
objects in the diagram represent individual machinery components and system measurements on a static
background.
Normally, the dynamic objects are Standard Function Blocks. However, the system may be customized
to display other objects.
Usually, digital object icons and analog object values will be displayed in order to guarantee clarity and
legibility.
The following figure displays a Mimic Diagram of a Fuel Oil Supply System.
Fig. 3-18 Mimic Diagram of Fuel Oil Supply System.
• Select an object in order to view its ID.

For detailed information about Mimic Diagrams, see also Section 4.10.
3.2.9 Control Right Diagrams
The MCS 2200 provides a Control Right function for machinery components (Standard Function Blocks).
Please note that this function is optional and may not be included in your installation.
The Control Right function will allow a machinery component (for example a pump, a valve, or a controller
set point) to be controlled from only one location at a time.
Example: If the control right for a specific machinery component is assigned to the Engine Control Room,
all control functions from other SOD 2200 on the ship will be blocked.
30 815.000 401 / – (2006-09)

The control functions of the Local Operating Panels LOP 2200 (if included) are not influenced by the
Control Right function. It is always possible if groups from panels control >>> Rest of this sentence is
misssing in all source documents <<< This I don’t understand.
Control rights are always assigned to a location, not to individual SOD 2200, hence two SOD 2200 in the
same location have the same control rights.
Machinery components are classified in machinery groups. The control rights for all components in one
group are always assigned to the same location.
The control rights for different machinery groups can be assigned to the same location or to different loca-
tions.
Control rights for one machinery group can alternate between different locations. The Control Right
System can handle up to five individual control locations and up to 50 machinery groups.
During customizing, each machinery group is assigned to its legal control locations.
The change-over of machinery group control rights to a new location is carried out from the new location
without any change-over procedure. This way, only the new location needs to be manned.
Example: If only one officer is on duty, he can change over the control rights to any location required
during his watch. Control right change-over can be carried out even if the present location is out of order
or blocked, for example due to a fire.
Please note that it is impossible to change over machinery group control rights if the new location is an
illegal location for a specific machinery group.
• Select a desired machinery component in order to open the Command menu
If the control rights for a specific component are not assigned to the new location, the commands will be
unavailable.
The following figures display available and unavailable commands in a Command menu.
Available pump control commands.
Unavailable pump control commands (control rights are

not assigned to new SOD 2200 location)

3.2.10 Journals
Jounals are lists or sets of lists of monitoring channels. The Journal layout is identical to the Alarm List
layout.
The Journal content is defined online by an operator. One Journal can include up to 10 pages, each with
32 monitoring channels on display. A maximum of 15 individual Journals can be defined.

User Manual 3.3 Spare Channels
Journals are assigned to individual SOD 2200. This means that the total number of possible journals is
15 multiplied with the total number of SOD 2200 in the system. Journals designed on one SOD 2200
cannot be displayed on another SOD 2200.
Fig. 3-21 Journal.
Journals can either be displayed on screen or printed by a printer assigned to the respective SOD 2200.
Journal printout can be carried out either manually (tractor feed printer or graphical printer) or automati-
cally (only tractor feed printer). Automatic printouts can be carried out cyclically or at pre-determined
points in time.
For detailed information about Journal printout, see also Section 4.12.
3.3 Spare Channels
Input modules are equipped with 8, 16, or 32 inputs. In most installations, some input channels are not
being used. These channels are called spare channels.
Spare channels can be activated (optional). Activating means to connect a physical switch or analog
sensor to the input channel and create a monitoring channel (alarm) for this switch or sensor.
Activation can be carried out in a running system. The new channel will function immediately on FPD
2200 or SOD 2200 restart.
Binary switches can be either NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed).

Input from analog sensors can be current (mA), voltage, Pt100, potentiometer, NiCrNi, or FeCo.
Please note that only sensor types already included in the system can be used. It is not possible to define
new sensor types in a running system.
