RT-flex96C

Engine management system

The WECS-9520 is well suited to support this integrated automation concept by providing redundant data bus lines that deliver all necessary information for propulsion control, alarm / monitoring system and manmachine interface. The MMI of the WECS-9520 can provide additional features when using such an integrated solution. Ship automation from different suppliers Split solution In the case that propulsion control and alarm / monitoring systems are from different suppliers the WECS-9520 supports also such a split solution by providing two separate redundant data bus lines one each for propulsion control and alarm / monitoring system. MMI functions are then also split within propulsion control and alarm / monitoring system.

With the replacement of previous camshaftcontrolled function by the WECS-9520, the engine built control components are reduced to a minimum. Instrumentation is based on the conventional RTA engine with RT-flex-specific components added. DENIS remote control specification

This file contains the detailed functional specification of the remote control system. The intellectual property on this remote control specification remains with Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd. Therefore this file is licensed to Wrtsil Switzerland Ltds remote control partners only. These companies offer systems, built completely according to the engine designers specifications, tested and approved by Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd.

DENIS-9520 describes the signal interface between the RT-flex engine including its flex engine control system (WECS) and the ship automation. The DENIS specification does not include any hardware. It summarises all the data exchanged and defines the control functions required by the engine. The DENIS specification is presented in two sets of documents: DENIS engine specification This file contains the specification of the signal interface on the engine and is made accessible to engine builders and shipyards. It consists basically of the control diagram of the engine, the signal list including a minimum of functional requirements and gives all information related to the electrical wiring on the engine. It lists also the necessary alarm and display functions to be realised in the vessels alarm and monitoring system. The DENIS-9520 engine specification covers the engine-built components for control, alarm and indication.

Propulsion control system

The propulsion control system is divided into the following sub-systems: Remote control system. Safety system. Electronic speed control system. Telegraph system.

Safety system and telegraph system work independently and are fully operative even with the remote control system out of order.
