1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is generated through the configuration tool called
Seamate. The manual is therefore customised for each system
delivery.
The intention with this manual is to explain the functionality for
each mayor component and the total system as it’s configured
for each delivery.
How to operate the system is described in a manner where we
assume that the system is in operation and that normal
operations shall be carried out. This manual is not made for
advanced troubleshooting.
The manual contains five chapters

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Remote Control System Functional

Description
The Kongsberg Maritime C20 Marine Automation system
consists of, among others the AutoChief® C20 Propulsion
Control System. Modular design allows flexibility in
configuring the system to individual requirements, covering the
whole range from standard propulsion configurations to highly
advanced twin or quadruple engine installations with high,
medium or low speed engines connected to reduction, reversing
gear or variable pitch propellers. This system may be a part of a
total integrated ship control system consisting of other sub.
Systems such as:
• Alarm and monitoring system.
• Auxiliary control system.
• Power management system.
• Ballast automation system.
• HVAC (air conditioning).
• Management support
The system is based on Kongsberg Maritime unified automation

concept, where each individual ship configuration is built up
using standard modules communicating on CAN- and local area
networks. The C20 system is configurable for all ship types.
The AutoChief® C20 Propulsion Control System is designed for
remote control of the main engine from the combined telegraph
and manoeuvring lever in the wheelhouse. By moving this lever,
the system will automatically start, reverse, stop and speed-set
the main engine.

2.9 Remote control system functions

2.9.1 Start fail/block
As long as any of the below mentioned conditions is active the
engine is inhibited for starting.
2.9.1.1 Start failed

Starting failure is announced from the MAN B&W ECS when
one of the following conditions occurs, and is indicated on ECR
and Bridge ACP.
• 3 failed starts
• Slow turning failure
2.9.1.2 Start air pressure low

To secure a safe starting of the main engine a minimum starting
air pressure is required. The value for minimum starting air
pressure allowed is preset in parameters in the remote control
system. If the pressure is below this preset level Start Block is
activated.
2.9.1.3 Engine tripped

Engine has tripped because of a shut down detected and created
by the safety system.
Details to be found in the alarm list on the Safety system mimic
pages.
2.9.1.4 Start blocked

If one or more of the following conditions are present the ECS
will block the start:
• Shut down
• Main starting valve blocked
• Starting air distribution system blocked
• Control air vented
• Turning gear engaged
• Starting air pressure low and bridge control active
• Auxiliary blowers not operational and bridge control active
AA-00380-A 31
When the start is blocked the ECS will release an alarm and
route Start Blocked signal to the RCS via the serial connection.
The ECS will automatically reset the start blocking when the
condition has returned to normal and stop command is released.
2.9.1.5 Engine blocked

This is a signal from the Electronic Control System to the
remote control system via serial line informing that the engine is
blocked for operation. Its active if one or all of the following
conditions is active:
• Main starting valve blocked
• Starting air distribution system blocked
• Control air vented
2.9.2 Engine state ECS

2.9.2.1 Start air distributor blocked
For safety reasons, when the main engine is not in use, the start
air distributor is blocked. To be able to start the engine the start
air distributor has to be unblocked.
2.9.2.2 Main Start air valve blocked

For safety reasons, when the main engine is not in use, the main
start air valve is mechanically blocked. To be able to start the
engine the main start air valve has to be unblocked.
2.9.2.3 Turning gear engaged

The turning gear is mechanically engaged to the flywheel. The
main engine is therefore inhibited from starting.
2.9.2.4 Control air vented

The control air valve is closed and the line is pressure released
with a ventilation valve.
32 AA-00380-A
2.9.2.5 Engine not ready/ready

Engine Not Ready is used for an indication at the bridge, ECR
and LOP. The purpose of the Engine Not Ready indication is to
inform the navigator/engine staff that the engine is not fully
capable of functioning. For example it may not be possible to
start the engine again if it has been stopped.
It is allowed to perform a start attempt if the Engine Not Ready
indication is on. However, the normal procedure is to wait until
Engine Not Ready deactivates before a start attempt is carried
out e.g. after black-out.
The ECS will route Engine Not Ready to the remote control
system via serial connection. The Engine Not Ready signal is set
active if the condition for engine ready is not fulfilled Engine
Not Ready is thus the inverse of the following signals:
• Main starting valve in service position
• Starting air distribution system in service position
• Turning gear disengaged
• Control air pressure OK
• Hydraulic supply system OK
• Auxiliary blowers operational
• ECS OK
AA-00380-A 33
2.9.3 Starting the main engine

The engine is started automatically in ahead (or astern) direction
from bridge (if the engine is prepared for start), simply by
setting the bridge handle from stop to any position in ahead (or
astern) direction.
2.9.3.1 Prepare Start.

This function is activated from the ACP mimic pages, its
activated for starting the auxiliary blowers prior to the normal
start of the engine. As long as this sequence is not performed the
engine will be in the state “Delayed Start”. When the sequence
is ready the engine state will be “Ready for Start”,
2.9.3.2 Starting
Starting of the main engine is performed when the bridge lever
is moved from stop to any position in ahead (or astern
direction). The remote control system will send a signal called
“Not Stop” through a switch in the LTU and a current signal
(4–20 mA) informing the ECS about rpm request and thrust
direction.
2.9.3.3 Repeated start

If the engine fails to start (run on fuel) after the starting air is
switched off, the system will automatically try to restart the
engine. Indication for "repeated starts" will show on bridge and
ECR. If the second start also fails, the system will try once
more. After 3 starting attempts, start failed alarm will be
activated.
2.9.3.4 Running
The signal “Running” is transferred to the RCS from the ECS
when the engine is running on fuel.
34 AA-00380-A
2.9.4 RPM limiters

For protecting the engine against thermal stress and destruction
some fixed RPM Limiters are included in the ECS.
2.9.4.1 Load Limitation

This function is including the operational limiters:
• Chief rpm limit
• Torque Limiter
• Scavenging air Limiter
The limiter functions is adjustable only in the MAN B&W ECS.
2.9.4.2 Slow Down

A slow down is caused by a input signal detected by the slow
down module. If such a signal is detected, the safety system will
send a slow down request to the ECS. The speed set-point will
after a pre-warning time be reduced to the predefined slow down
level.
RPM
SLD RPM
Level
Time
SLD Active
During pre-warning time an alarm "slow down cancellable" or

"slow down none cancellable" will be displayed on the ACP.
2.9.5 Operation modes

2.9.5.1 Emission mode
This mode is selectable from the ACP mimic. Emission mode is
a special feature controlled by the MAN B&W Electronic
Control System. It secures operation of the main engine with the
lowest emissions for the actual engine type.
AA-00380-A 35
2.9.5.2 Economy mode

This mode is selectable from the ACP mimic. Economy mode is
a special feature controlled by the MAN B&W Electronic
Control System. It secures the operation of the main engine with
the lowest consumption and thereby in the most economic way.
2.9.6 Reversing the main engine

The engine is reversed automatically to ahead (or astern)
direction from bridge by setting the bridge handle from stop to
any position in ahead (or astern) direction.
Reversing sequence will be carried out prior to the starting
sequence.
If the engine is running above the brake air level, brake air will
be supplied when engine has reached down to brake air level, in
order to perform the reversing sequence as fast as possible.
2.9.7 Stopping the main engine

The engine is stopped automatically by setting the bridge handle
to STOP position. The stop solenoid valve is activated, and stop
signal is given to governor to set the fuel rack in zero position.
36 AA-00380-A
2.10 Safety system functions

2.10.1 Safety function Shut down
2.10.1.1 Shut Down Function (1 – 6)
Then engine will automatically shut down (stop), if any of the
shut down sensors is activated. The emergency stop solenoid
valve will be activated, and the fuel rack to zero order is given
to the governor. The engine will then stop. The following inputs
for shut down sensors are provided:
Shut down 1: (Fixed as over speed)

Shut down 2-6: (To be project specified for the actual
project)
Custom Shut down 1-5 (To be project specified for the actual
project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.

The shut downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will stop the engine
immediately.
Shut down is reset (after the sensor is de-activated) by setting
the manoeuvring lever at the control stand in control to stop
position. The engine may then be restarted.
2.10.1.2 Cancellable Shut Down

It will be possible, during the time delay, to cancel the shut
down by pressing the "Cancel SHD" pushbutton on the ACP
unit.
There will be time delay on the cancellable shut downs. The
delay time may be adjusted individually for each sensor. The
cancellable shut-downs may be cancelled individually from the
ACP in control room, regardless of control position, it will
additionally be possible to cancel all shut-downs from bridge
while in bridge control, control room in control room control
and from engine side while in emergency control. The
indications mentioned will be shown on the LCD display of the
ACP unit.
AA-00380-A 37
2.10.1.3 Emergency Stop function

Safety System has possibility for total 5 emergency stop push
buttons
Normally 3 emergency stop pushbuttons will be used:
Bridge Pushbutton with light with integrated
in bridge LTU.
Control Room Pushbutton with light with cover
integrated in the ECR LTU
Local Control: Pushbutton with light with cover
integrated in emergency control PBT.
Emergency stop solenoid valve is directly activated through the

ESU when one of the pushbuttons is activated. Stop signal is
sent to the RCS and fuel rack to zero order is given to the
governor. The engine will stop, and an alarm "emergency stop",
emergency stop valve activated", and information of which of
the emergency stop pushbutton is activated will be shown on the
ACP.
Emergency stop may be activated from all control stands at all
time, regardless of the control position. Emergency stop is
simply deactivated when the pushbutton are pressed once more.
2.10.1.4 Over-speed Shut Down

Over speed is detected by the RPM detection system, from tacho
pick-ups which are mounted towards engine fly-wheel, when the
engine revolution exceeds the over speed level (107% of MCR,
adjustable).
A hardwired signal from the RPM detection system is connected
to a shut down input on the ESU for direct activation of
emergency stop solenoid valve.
And the RPM detection system will by dual redundant CAN
order shut down of engine to RCS, Safety System and Governor
System. This will cause the emergency stop solenoid valve to be
activated and the fuel rack position moved to zero.
The engine will stop and the alarm "over speed" will be shown
on the ACP.
Over speed is reset by setting the manoeuvring lever at the
control stand to stop position. The engine may then be restarted.
38 AA-00380-A
2.10.2 Safety function Slow Down

2.10.2.1 Slow Down Function (1 – 20)
The engine will automatically reduce the speed corresponding to
slow (adjustable) if any of the slow down sensors is activated.
Slow down signal will be sent to the remote control system
and/or the governor, which takes action. Slow down is indicated
on the ACP. The inputs for slow down sensors are as follows:
Slow down 1-20: (To be project specified for the actual

project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.

The slow downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will reduce the engine
speed immediately; while there will be time delay on the
cancellable ones. The delay time may be adjusted individually
for each sensor. The cancellable slow-downs may be cancelled
individually from the ACP in control room, regardless of control
position, it will additionally be possible to cancel all slow-
downs from bridge while in bridge control, control room in
control room control and from engine side while in emergency
control.
Slow down is automatically reset after the sensor is de-activated,
alternatively it is reset when the sensor is de-activated, and the
bridge handle is set below the slow down level.
A none cancellable slowdown will activate speed reduction

immediately after the time delay has run out.
Slow down action is performed as follows:
Bridge Control Automatically by the remote control

system.
Control Room Contr. Automatically by the governor or
manually by the operator
Local Control: Manually by the local speed device.
AA-00380-A 39

4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to keep the system in good working
order and what to do if the system fails.
The following subjects are covered:
• Overview
• Unit replacement
• Preventive maintenance
• Troubleshooting of all parts of the system
4.2 Overview
This maintenance chapter is intended for trained maintenance
technicians or engineers with experience of electronic and
digital circuits, computers and electro mechanical design. The
level of information is based on Kongsberg Maritime
maintenance philosophy: The onboard technical personnel shall,
with the help of the documentation and the system’s built-in test
functions, be able to identify malfunctions, locate the fault, and
replace major parts, modules and components on a “Line
Replaceable Unit” (LRU) level. He/she will however not
attempt to repair the LRUs.
Note Cleaning with abrasive material or strong chemical cleaning
solutions is not recommended as these may damage the system.
AA-00380-A 89
4.3 Unit replacement

Warning Turn power off before replacing any parts!
Note AutoChief C20 units are not field repairable. Any attempt will
void the warranty.
Package faulty units using the box from the replacement unit
and send it to Kongsberg Maritime for repair.
Refer to page NO TAG for information on how to get in touch with us.
4.3.1 Recommended tools

Drawings of the installation.
Digital multimeter.
Sensor simulator.
Screwdriver for wire terminals: Flat 3 x 0.7 mm.
Screwdriver for screen termination board: Flat 7 x 1.0 mm.
Screwdriver Pozidriv: POZI #1.
Cable ties.
4.4 Preventive maintenance
4.4.1 General
Kongsberg Maritime recommends the following preventive
maintenance routine for the AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control
system with process control and power management:
Weekly: Clean all operator panels, and run the on-line lamp
and unit function tests. Clean all filters for units
equipped with fans.
3-Monthly: Check rpm pickups
6-Monthly: Check cables and cable entrances, electrical screw-
terminals, fuse connections and plug connections.
90 AA-00380-A
Yearly: Check and if necessary calibrate the input sensors

and output actuators according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The Classification Societies and/or the Ship’s Maintenance Plan

(or Site’s Maintenance Plan) should be referred to for obtaining
a recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system.
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 this manual.
4.4.2 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.
AutoChief Control Panel (ACP), Lever Telegraph Unit (LTU),

Push-button Telegraph (PBT), Multiple Purpose Panel (MPP)
and the multiple Purpose display (MPD)
Each week do the following for each of these Units:
1. Clean the surface of the units. Wipe the surfaces with 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 firmly before wiping the
unit. Never use cleaning solutions containing spirit or
alcohol.
2. Push LAMP TEST.
− All LED’s should be lit for about five seconds.
− if the test fails, refer to the trouble shooting section.
4.4.2.1 Distributed Processing Units

The distributed processing units do not require weekly
maintenance.
AA-00380-A 91
4.4.3 3-monthly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. For rpm pick-ups :
Remove dirt and check distance, while engine is stopped
4.4.4 6-monthly maintenance

Where applicable; check the following parts of the system each
6-month period:
1 Check cables and cable entrances for damage to the cable.
2 Tighten all electrical screw-terminals.
3 Tighten all plug connections.
4.4.5 Yearly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. Each year, check and
if necessary calibrate the input sensors and output actuators
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In general, it is not
necessary to re-calibrate sensors if the input signal is correct.
Compare the input signal to this system, with the input signals
on other systems or local gauges.
Refer to the Classification Societies and/or the Ship’s

Maintenance Plan (or Site’s Maintenance Plan) for obtaining a
recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system. The societies normally
recommend a 3-monthly to 6-monthly schedule.
