Preface
What does this book contain
This instruction manual provides general guidance regarding operation and
maintenance and gives a description of the design of the remote control sys-
tem. It is also to be used as reference when ordering spare parts.
The manual is divided into a number of chapters that correspond to the main
components/units of the remote control system.
Most chapters consists of three main elements:
▪ Descriptions (text concerning functionality, operation and maintenance)
Chapters 1 through 4 is standard for all plants. If the actual plant has
special functions such as Twin in / Single out configuration, please refer
to the chapters subsequent)
▪ Data (list of symbols, wiring diagrams etc.)
▪ Spare part plates (spare part illustrations and additional lists)
Reliable and safe operation of the remote control system is dependent on
correct operation and maintenance. It is therefore important that the engine
personnel is fully acquainted with the contents of this book.
The remote control system is delivered including a warranty clause which has
been contractual agreed upon. It is, of course, a precondition for the validity
of such a warranty that the propulsion plant is operated in accordance with
agreed requirements and recommendations.
Spare parts must be original spare parts purchased directly from MAN
Energy Solutions or from one of MAN Energy Solutions authorized work-
shops or agents.

Operating instruction manual
The following main functions are available from the manoeuvring handle
panel:
Once the handle is selected IN COMMAND by the push button in the lower
corner, the handle is in control. Active control is indicated by a green LED in
the push button.
When the MHP is in command, the clutch can be operated by the two keys
in the CPP Clutch field, provided no interlocks being active. Possible inter-
locks can be seen on the PCP.
The CPP Clutch control buttons will only be available on plants comprising a
gearbox with one or more controllable hydraulic clutches for set up of power
transmission to the propeller. For two stroke applications the CPP Clutch
buttons always will be excluded from the panel. If a two stroke application
comprises a Power Take Home (PTH) mode the engine disconnection clutch
must be manually disengaged in the engine room and the PTH clutch must
be engaged from the clutch menu in the propulsion control panel.
The field Control Location is indicating the present location from where con-
trol is possible. Change between locations is done from the PCP and from
the local control station.
The setpoint handle is moved in the desired direction and the thrust on the
vessel will follow the command. Indicators on the PCP and the PIP will indi-
cate the setpoints as well as the actual propeller pitch and rpm. The red LED
indictor ALARM will be activated in case of any alarm being present in the
entire PCS. Details of the alarm condition can be seen in the PCP.

Safety recommendation:
Please note that the BACKUP function is intended to be a feature that
can be used in case the PCU has a serious failure. A serious failure can
happen any time, also during a critical situation such as a harbour
manoeuvre. It is thus important that all operators are familiar with this
function and that the change between NORMAL and BACKUP is

The Engine Handle Panel (EHP) is a speciality for MAN B&W two stroke
engines. The panel is intended for installation in the engine control room and
available for start/stop and speed setting of the engine. The panel is hard-
wired to the Engine Control System and is able to operate independently of
the Normal propulsion control system.
Once the engine is switched over from local to remote control the operator
can select Engine Manual Control with the pushbutton in the panel. Manual
control from the panel is indicated with light in the pushbutton.
The indicator Load Limited indicates that the engine is loaded above the tor-
que limit and the engine speed might be restricted by the limiter.
Activation of the pushbutton Increase Load Limit will increase the limitation of
the engine and make the engine able to react faster.
Control of the engine is executed with the control lever. With the lever in the
position detent marked STOP will stop the engine (if the panels is In Com-
mand) with moving the lever to the position detent marked START will start
the engine in idle speed. Moving the lever from start position to maximum
position the engine speed will be increased from idle speed to MCR speed.
For four stroke medium speed engines this functionality is included in the
D405A1-01-AT3000
engine control and safety system delivered together with the engine.

Gear step–up section The step–up section of the gear increases speed and is connected either via
Gear reduction section A reduction section of the gear is used on four stroke propulsion plants for
reduction of the engine speed. The reduction gear will very often contain a
thrust clutch for disengaging of the propeller.
Clutch control
The clutch control can be operated from the bridge as well as from the ECR.
Engage and disengage operations of thrust clutch, PTO clutch, PTI clutch
and engine clutch are controlled by means of soft keys from the PCP in con-
trol. In addition, the thrust clutch can be operated from push buttons on the
MHP.
If the operator activates a clutch control soft key on a panel which is not in
control, the confirm pop-up window will say "Not in comand".
If a clutch engage/disengage request with one or more blockings is given
from the panel in control, nothing will happen. Interlock information for the
clutch can be on the PCP.
If a clutch engage/disengage request with no blockings is requested from the
panel in control, the clutch will be engaged/disengaged and the indication on
the PCP will change according to the new clutch position feedback.
I/O interface for clutches Each clutch has two inputs for clutch engage and clutch disengage solenoid
valves and one pressure switch feedback indicating clutch engaged for a
high pressure.
The clutches may be operated via the LPCS. Please refer to the separate
manual for the propeller.
Thrust clutch control The thrust clutch is a clutch located inside the gearbox where it disconnects
the propeller shaft output from the engine or the PTI input to the gearbox.
The thrust clutch is operator controlled by means of push buttons in the
MHP (Manoeuvre Handle Panel and from the PCP's.)
The thrust clutch in/clutch–out valves are deactivated again when the correct
engaged/ disengaged feedback is present. If the correct feedback is not
achieved within a maximum time–out, a clutch engage failure alarm is

Indicators and soft keys for the Shut Down and Load Reduction screen are
shown on figure 18.
Indicators for ‘Prewarning’ will be activated if the alarm limit is exceeded for a
parameter that may lead to load reduction and/or shut down.
Override The load reductions and most of the shut downs may be overridden by acti-
vation of the corresponding ‘Override’ soft key. The override function may be
activated at any time in order to avoid load reductions or shut downs to
appear at a critical time, e.g. during manoeuvring or in dense traffic.

The Emergency stop function will always stop the main engine independent
of the PCS. Activation of the Emergency stop function is regarded as a shut
down criteria from the engines safety system. If more than one main engine
is connected to the propeller, all main engines connected to that propeller
will be stopped. In case of a double propeller plant, there will be one Emer-
gency stop push button for each propulsion line. The push button is protec-
ted by a lid in order to avoid unintentional activation. An activated Emergency
stop push button will be illuminated by a built-in LED.
The plant may be equipped with a push button for Emergency clutch out on
the ships bridge. Activation will immediately clutch out the propeller in order
to stop it from rotation; however without stopping the main engine(s) connec-
ted to it. The Emergency clutch out function is operating independently of the
PCS. It is connected directly to the LPCS system. If more than one main

Setpoint system
The setpoint system converts the setpoints from the Manoeuvre Handle
Panel (MHP) mounted on the bridge and in the ECR, to main engine rpm set-
point output for the governor and CPP pitch setpoint output to the CPP
closed loop controller. This conversion is done in accordance with the com-
binator curves set–up in the PCS.
Main engine rpm governor The main engine rpm is controlled either by an electronic governor or by a
setpoint mechanical speed governor with a speed setting unit. The input to the elec-
tronic governor or the speed setting unit for a mechanical governor is nor-
mally a 4–20 mA current signal corresponding to the rpm range requested.
Most of the diesel engines today are operation with electronic injection sys-
tems for control of engine speed. These systems will as well receive a signal
from the PCS for commanded engine speed reference.
Speed droop, which enables parallel operation of two or more engines on
the same gear or between the shaft generator and one or more diesel gener-
ators, might be included in the governor. It is supported by the PCS, with
automatic loadsharing between engines, and with interconnection to fre-
quency control inputs from the power management system.
The following strategies for the speed setting are included in the propulsion
control system:
Separate rpm control Separate rpm control and pitch control is available from the PCP in ECR and
setpoint on the brigde
The separate rpm setpoint is converted to a governor setpoint signal without
any limitations, except for the critical speed limitation (optional), and slow
down reduction which might limit the rpm setpoint also (optional).
Variable rpm setpoint Variable rpm setpoint is used in combinator control. The rpm is increased
from idle rpm to max rpm according to the predefined combinator curve in
the PCS:
▪ Fully variable combinator mode without SG, eg 50 – 100% rpm
▪ Limited variable combinator mode with frequency converter SG on MSB,
eg 60 – 100% rpm, or with a Thruster in limited variable mode, eg 80 –
100% rpm
The variable rpm setpoint is converted to a governor setpoint signal with the
following limitations:
In case of crash stop, the rpm is reduced to a predefined level during the
manoeuvre before the pitch is moved from ahead to astern. When the “sign”
of the pitch has changed, the rpm is increased again to the level determined
by the setpoint lever position. This function will also take place for a crash
stop in the opposite direction from full astern to full ahead.
D405A1-01-AT3000
2018-08-15 - en
An automatic load reduction will also limit the rpm setpoint (optional).

AT3000;
MAN Energy Solutions D405A1-01-AT3000
Rpm setpoint behaviour During normal operation the rpm setpoint to the governor is not limited in any
Constant rpm setpoint Constant rpm for PTO and optional PTI operation is possible from both
bridge and ECR control. The rpm setpoint for the governor is a fixed value
corresponding to eg 50/60 Hz for shaft generator operation.
The constant rpm setpoint corrected for load variations on the shaft genera-
tor in case of a speed droop governor, is converted to a governor setpoint
signal without any limitations.
As long as a constant frequency shaft generator is connected to the main
switch board, it will not be possible to select another mode than constant
rpm.
PTO minimum rpm In combinator or separate mode, the demand for speed can be limited to the
minimum rpm, required from one of several connected PTO’s, used to eg
drive a hydraulic pump for deck equipment.
If the setpoint request from the setpoint lever is going below the minimum
rpm limit for one of the connected PTO’s, the limit from the PTO with the
highest minimum rpm will be the resulting rpm setpoint. When the operator
increases the setpoint again, the function is removed.
Minimum rpm for a PTO connected SG will be handled by locking the set-
point in constant speed mode as long as a constant frequency SG is con-
nected, or selecting the limited variable combinator mode for SG, as long as
a variable frequency SG with frequency converter is connected.
Panel fine-adjustment of rpm The operator can fine–adjust the rpm setpoint from any one of the PCP's,
independent of the control position.
This adjustment is done by means of two RAISE and LOWER softkeys, loca-
ted on the PCP for the setpoint system. The adjustment is limited to ± 5%.
PMS fine–adjustment for The rpm setpoint for a constant speed shaft generator can be fine–adjusted
frequency control to compensate for the propeller and shaft generator load, to be able to main-

Shaft generator waiting The SG waiting station hold is activated by the PCS when the rpm setpoint is
Operating instruction manual
station hold lowered by the operator, where the setpoint will be maintained on a prede-
fined level until the shaft generator is disconnected. After a predefined time–
out the setpoint will be allowed to decrease to the setpoint requested.
Rpm setpoint slope Acceleration and deceleration are controlled by slew rates, specified in
engine shaft rpm/sec. Another set of values is selected when the soft key
Increase Load Limit in the PCP is activated. This will lead to a faster
response on the rpm setpoint.
Maintain speed function The maintain speed function is activated by means of an input from a varia-
ble speed shaft generator (eg connected with a frequency converter) running
on a full range (50–100%) rpm, but not able to maintain the full load below eg
60 % rpm. When the setpoint drops below 60 %, the shaft generator acti-
vates the maintain speed function, and then the PCS selects the present set-
point as the minimum setpoint. When the operator increases the setpoint
again, the function is removed.
Critical speed protection The critical speed function protects the main engine rpm from running inside
a predefined window for barred speed range, where the main engine is not
allowed to run due to torsional vibrations of the main engine or in the propel-
ler shaft.
Two independent barred speed range windows can be defined in the PCS
system, eg a lower range from 280 – 310 rpm and an upper range from 490
– 600 rpm.
In the propulsion control panel the indicators for engine speed and shaft
speed will comprise a reed marking of the critical speed ranges and if the
engine is running within the barred speed range for a predefined time an
alarm will be activated as a warning for the operator.
Speed droop compensation As an option, the rpm setpoint for a speed droop governor can be fine–
of setpoint adjusted to compensate for the propeller – and shaft generator load, making
it possible to maintain 50/60 Hz on the shaft generator.
Variable pitch setpoint The variable pitch setpoint is used together with separate rpm setpoint or
together with PTO and optional PTI operation of the shaft generator in the
constant rpm mode. The pitch setpoint is increased from 0 (zero pitch) to ±
100% pitch (ahead and astern) according to pre–programmed combinator
curves for:

100% pitch (ahead and astern) according to pre–programmed combinator
curves for:
▪ Combinator mode without SG, e.g. 50–100% rpm and ± 100% pitch
▪ Combinator mode with a frequency converter SG connected to the MSB
at, eg 60–100% rpm and ± 90% pitch or the SG in thruster operation in
limited variable mode, eg 80–100% rpm and ± 90% pitch. Max pitch is
leaving enough available power, corresponding to max load on the SG
Acceleration and The acceleration and deceleration slew rates can be specified independently
deceleration slew rates for ahead and astern direction and with a third separate curve for crash stop.
The slew rates are adjustable with six independent pitch rates on each curve
and five break points, which is common for the three curves. A crash stop is
detected, when the setpoint is moved from more than 75% ahead where it
has been for more than eg 60 seconds, to more than 75% astern within eg
15 seconds.
Load control minimum The load controller has influence on the pitch setpoint signal by using a mini-
selector mum selector. The minimum selector will select the lowest of two signals:
The pitch setpoint from the combinator curves (ie no load control limit) or the
pitch limit from the load controller.
Typically, the load controller is active above 50% pitch.
Local and backup control During local and backup control of the propeller pitch, the propeller pitch set-
point output is set equal to the actual pitch feedback. This is done in order to
secure a smooth transfer, when control is switched back to PCS control.
Also in case of a failure detected in the closed loop , the propeller pitch set-
point output is set equal to the actual pitch feedback
Zero pitch setpoint during The pitch behaviour during shutdown, depends on the type of shutdown,
shutdown and disabled and also whether the system is equipped with a thrust clutch or not.
propeller ▪ If a thrust clutch is not included in the system, a shutdown or emergency
stop will be commanding zero pitch to the setpoint system. The shut-
down condition must be removed and reset, and the pitch setpoint lever
must be put in zero position to reset the shutdown zero pitch command
▪ When a thrust clutch is included in the system, a shutdown or emer-

Pitch feathering position Feathering position of the pitch propeller is used when the ship for some rea-
Operating instruction manual
control son is sailing with only one of two propulsion lines. It adjusts the propeller
pitch on the stopped propulsion line to a position where it is as streamlined
as possible when pulled through the water by the other propeller on the ship.
The conditions for selecting feathering position of the pitch propeller is stop-
ped engine or de–clutched propeller.
The feathering position control is operated from the PCP´s.
A similar function may also be used on double ended ferries, supplied with a
de–clutchable propeller in both ends and both propellers driven by the same
engine.
Pitch setpoint slope The pitch setpoint slope rates are specified by a fixed setting in % pitch/sec.
This pitch setpoint slope is normally adjusted according to how fast the pitch
is able to move from full ahead to full astern.
Another slope is selected when Increse Load Limit is activated. This will give
a faster response on the pitch setpoint.
CPP booster pump The electrical CPP booster stand–by pump is started in case of slow move-
ment of the pitch. During normal operation only one pump is used to control
the pitch. When the CPP booster pump has been started, it will be kept run-
ning for 5 minutes.
Certain four–stroke plants will not have this booster pump function. In these
plants, the configuration will consist of a mechanically driven main pump and
an electrical stand– by pump.
Combinator control The combinator control function in the PCS is active when combinator mode
is selected. The setpoint commands to the main engine and the propeller
pitch are based on the same setpoint lever. The setpoints are calculated
based on predefined combinator curves in the PCS.
There is one curve for rpm and one curve for the corresponding pitch.
The combinator curves are calculated in such a way, that pitch reduction due
to overload of the main engine will not take place during normal operating
conditions.

Forced change–over from Forced change–over from bridge to ECR control is possible as option. This
bridge control to ECR control possibility will be excluded on some plants.
The engineer can make the forced changeover from bridge to ECR control
by pressing the IN COMMAND key on the MPH in the ECR, without a previ-
ous change–over request from the bridge.
An alarm will be given in order to inform the bridge personnel about the lost
control.
Failure on setpoint levers The setpoint levers are individually supervised for failure, with an alarm for
each lever.
It is not possible to transfer control to a control position, which has a failure
on the setpoint lever.
Local/remote control transfer There may be two switches in the machinery space, used for transfer of the
control between local and remote. One switch is dedicated to the control of
the propeller and the other one is for the control of the engine.
The control transfer of the PCS depends on the local/remote signal from the
pitch control system. Local control at the propeller side is indicated by
LOCAL LED on the bridge and ECR / MHP panels.
The control is changed over to LOCAL as soon as the “Pitch Local Control
on” feedback signal to the PCS is activated. The IN COMMAND indications
on the MHP's are switched off. In the ECR this change–over is done without
any buzzer indication and confirmation from the operator. When changed
from BRIDGE to LOCAL, the LED in the LOCAL softkey will start flashing and
the buzzer will sound until acknowledged from the PCP on the bridge
To switch back to remote control, the local/ remote switch in the Local Oper-
ator Panel - Propeller must be changed to position REMOTE. This change
will "invite" the operators by flashing the IN COMMAND at all control loca-
tions. The first MHP to be selected will be gravited control.
The local/remote control switch on the engine is used to block for remote

is removed, and it will be possible to start and stop the main engine from
ECR or bridge control again.
If the engine is started in local, an alarm will be activeated with information
"Engine runnig in local control".

Backup control local In case of failure of the computerised part of the PCS System, eg a break-
down of the PCS CPU or other critical failures in the PCS system, it will no
longer be possible to start/ stop the engine and engage/disengage the thrust
clutch from the PCP's, or to use the combinator curves and load controller
functions in the PCS. In this case it is recommended to select one of the two
backup modes for control of the main engine rpm and propeller pitch.
These backup control and local operation modes are independent of the
AT3000 PCS, i.e. they are also working when the PCS CPU and some of the
operator panels in the AT3000 system are switched off. Backup control can
be done from one of the PCP's on the bridge or in ECR.
Backup control In backup control, the main engine is running in constant rpm mode, control-
led by the main engine governor, and the propeller pitch is then directly con-
trolled by means of pushbuttons on the PCP's on the bridge or in the ECR.
Backup control can be selected while engine and propeller is running in
remote control.
Local control of propulsion Local operation of the engine start/ stop, clutch, rpm and propeller pitch is
plant done locally in the machinery space.
Please refer to separate manuals for engine, gear and propeller.

Load control
Figure 27: Load controller limitations for charge air, rpm/torque and max limit
Load PI–controller The load controller is operating by means of a PI–controller, which reduces
the pitch setpoint to the propeller,ie if the resulting torque from one of the
limiters is lower than the actual main engine torque.
The main engine torque is calculated by means of the main engine fuel index
and rpm.
The resulting torque from the limiters is the output from a minimum selector,
with the value from the lowest of the limiters, ie charge air pressure, rpm/
torque, load up program, load reduction and ECR maximum limit.
PTI control
In case the main engine is out of operation, the power take in (PTI) control
can take care of the connection of an external power source, normally the
shaft generator used as an electric motor, to the gear and propeller, using
the SG as power maker for propulsion.
The set point system includes an independent combinator curve, where the
maximum pitch for 100% set point ahead should be adjusted according to
the maximum load on the SG motor.

Speed pilot
The Alphatronic 3000 system may optionally be equipped with a speed pilot
function, ensuring a constant ships speed over ground. This function will
relieve the operator from constantly monitoring the speed of the vessel and
constantly changing the thrust from the handle as external forces such as
wind, current and waves are changing the ships speed along its route.
The speed pilot function is normally using the Speed Over Ground (SOG)
from the vessels GPS system. If the setpoint is above the actual speed, the
thrust order will be increased and opposite if the setpoint is below the actual
speed.
The Thrust Mode of the system is not changed when selecting the speed
pilot. The speed pilot is regarded a Control Station. When selected, the
Speed Pilot will thus appear from the screens as ‘Control Station in Com-
mand’.
There are a number of criteria for the Speed Pilot to be engaged:
▪ Speed sensor working (serial connection to vessels GPS)
▪ Normal Control on (i.e. not BACKUP or LOCAL)
▪ Bridge IN COMMAND (i.e. control via Speed Pilot from ECR not possible)
▪ Handle position must be above 2 in ahead direction
▪ The propeller is clutched in
If one of the criteria for the Speed Pilot fails while it is engaged, the present
command is maintained and the positions of the MHPs are unchanged. The
operator can now select IN COMMAND from any handle on the bridge and
continue control without the speed pilot.
In case one of the criteria for the Speed Pilot fails while it is engaged, an
alarm will be given.
It is important that the speed pilot is not acting too fast on changes in the
vessels speed as this may increase the fuel consumption unnecessarily. In
order to be able to judge the performance, the system has a graphical trend
function and possibilities of adjustment from the Propulsion Control Panels.

The Sub Telegraph function using the orders AT SEA, STAND BY and FWE
(Finished With Engine) is always active. I.e. the telegraph system does not
have to be IN SERVICE in order to give these orders. If a new order is given,
the telegraph alarm will sound in the machinery area until the sub telegraph
order is acknowledged.
For the two stroke engines additional functionality is included in the sub-tele-
graph orders from the Telegraph Order Panel. In the propulsion control panel
is included a Sub-telegraph menu with indication of status of parameters
necessary for fulfilling the sub-telegraph conditions.
When Sub telegraph order Stand by is requested and confirmed the stand
by indicator remain flashing until the parameters related to stand by condition
is fulfilled.
The same when Finish with engine is selected the indicator remain flashing
until the parameters related to the condition is fulfilled.
Finish with engine status is fulfilled when the signal engine Blocked from the
electronic injection system is on and the main start valve and the safety air
valve are closed.
Stand by and At sea conditions are fulfilled when the signal engine Ready
from the electronic injection system is on and the main start valve and the
safety air valve are open. Further the CPP hydraulic oil pressure must be
available.
To fulfil the sub-telegraph conditions these safety precautions must be
changed every time the engine is started or stopped. The sub-telegraph con-
ditions must be fulfilled within 5 minutes after selection of sup-telegraph sta-

Operating levels
The propulsion plant can be operated at three different levels:
▪ Normal control
▪ Backup control
▪ Local control
Only the two levels Normal control and Backup control are described below.
Local control is carried out from the machinery space. Description of this
operating mode is described in separate manuals. However, the Alphatronic
3000 features a telegraph function that can be used for communication
between the ships bridge and the machinery space during Local control.
Operation of the telegraph system is described later in this chapter.
Normal control The following description of operation in Normal control mode, assumes that
all parts of the system are in full function.
A typical scenario on board a vessel before leaving port could be that the
operator on the bridge uses the telegraph system to issue the order STAND
BY, thus asking for all machinery required for propulsion to be started and
made available for remote control.
The crew in the machinery area will start the necessary auxiliary systems and
then the main engine. The main engine may be started either from the screen
of the PCP or via other means depending in the main engines facilities. Hav-
ing started the main engine and prepared all other systems, the control may
be transferred to the bridge. Transfer of control to the bridge may be initiated
by the engineer in the ECR. The bridge must accept before the actual trans-
fer is taking place.
Once the operator on the bridge wants to control the vessels movements, he
will first clutch in the propeller and then move the handle in the desired direc-
tion for thrust control.
During manoeuvres in the harbour, the operator may have a better overview
from one of the wing panels. As the bridge is considered one control loca-
tion, the operator can simply go to any other control station and push IN
COMMAND. The control is immediately transferred to that panel in which the
handle is already aligned.
Backup control In case of malfunction of the remote control system; i.e. the PCU (the central
computer unit normally located in the ECR) or one of its interfaces, the
D405A1-01-AT3000
Backup control level may be used, enabling the operator on the bridge still to

graph bus has no failure and provided the LPCS is able to control the propel-
ler.

AT3000;
D405A1-01-AT3000 MAN Energy Solutions
Selecting Backup control will order the rpm of the main engine to fixed
Operating instruction manual
speed, normally corresponding to the rpm for shaft generator operation. The
pitch of the propeller can now be controlled directly from the backup screen
of the PCPs.
Local control During local control, neither the remote control system nor the backup con-
trol system is in control. The facility provided by the system is communication
via the telegraph system, independent from the Propulsion Control Unit.
The telegraph system is thus only a communication system between the
ships bridge and the machinery space. Control is being done locally from the
machinery space.
The operator on the bridge can at any time activate the telegraph system,
giving acoustic indication from its own units. In addition to activating its own
buzzers, the telegraph system will activate the external telegraph horns/
gongs and light columns in the machinery space.
Any new order from the bridge will initiate a telegraph alarm, which may be
acknowledged by the machinery crew either from the ECR or from the Local
Operator Panel.
Details of actual operation of the machinery during local control can be found
in the manuals for engine, gear and propeller.

Analogue instruments for shaft speed and propeller pitch
There are two ‘analogue’ indicators on the screen for Shaft Speed and Pro-
peller Pitch. Each indicator has in addition a digital readout. The values dis-
played are live feed-backs from the machinery.
The two yellow triangular indicators are showing the setpoints for shaft
speed and propeller pitch. The two setpoints are derived from the operators
positioning of the handle. Each position of the handle can, depending in the
actual thrust mode, be decomposed into engine speed (and thereby shaft
speed) and propeller pitch. There might be a temporary discrepancy
between setpoints and actual values as it takes some time to accelerate and
load up the engine and to move the pitch of the propeller.
The time indicated in the upper right corner can be adjusted. This system
time is used for time stamping of alarms in the alarm lists.

Once the BACKUP mode is selected from the push button in the lower right
part of the PCP, the above screen will be shown. The BACKUP mode can
only be selected provided the supporting sub systems are working (i.e. the
dedicated serial connection to the LPCS must be running and the LPCS itself
must be in working condition. That is: at least the control module B dedica-
ted to backup control must be in operating condition). If the system can not
enter backup mode, a short beep will be given by the buzzer.
In case of power up of the LPCS system in ‘Remote’ or in case of change
from ‘Local’ to ‘Remote’ the green IN COMMAND lamps in the MHPs will
flash in order to invite the operators to select a control position. If this invita-
tion is not accepted within 10 seconds in the form of a push from one of the
MHPs or in case of a serious malfunction of the PCU, the BACKUP push
buttons with yellow flashing indicators will ‘invite’ the operators for selection
of BACKUP mode. The first PCP requesting BACKUP control, will be granted
control (e.g. the Bridge Center). Should it be decided later, while still being in
BACKUP mode, to transfer Backup control to another PCP, the operator
must select "Normal" from the panel in control. Backup control can then be
selected on another PCP.
When BACKUP mode is selected, the main engine will be commanded to
fixed speed and the pitch set point will automatically be modified in order to

The two important operating parameters Engine Speed and Engine Load are
constantly displayed on the page.
Load reduction executed as For the two stroke engines automatic load reduction comprises both reduc-
slow down tion of load and slow down of engine speed.
For plants with shaft generator special precautions is taken to prevent black
out and thereby consequential stop of the main engine.
With a shaft generator in service the slowdown procedure will be executed in
the following steps:
1. First of all a load reduction pre-warning is activated for the operator to
take attention. At the same time a signal is send to the power manage-
ment system with request of diesel generator start and disconnection of
the shaft generator from the main bus bar.
2. After a pre-warning time of about 10 seconds the automatic load
reduction will reduce the propeller pitch to an engine load level of about
40 %.
3. When the diesel generators are started and the shaft generator is dis-
connected from the main bus bar the engine will be slowed down to
about 40% of MCR speed. When the engine speed is reduced the pro-
peller pitch again will be increased.
4. A shutdown request will be send to the engine safety system if the shaft
generator remains connected to the main bus bar for more than 2
minutes after activation of load reduction.
5. At any time the Load Reduction Override button can be activated to
avoid both automatic slowdown and consequently shutdown doe to

Load Control This screen is essential for monitoring and possibly controlling the load of the
main engine.
Pitch request refers to what is being requested by the control station handle
in control.
Pitch Command refers to what is being ordered to the CPP. A discrepancy
between request and command may e.g. be due to an active load pro-
gramme during engine load up.
Load Reduction may be activated automatically due to internal or external
request. The standard limit is 60% engine load as seen on the screen. The
indicator will be red in case the function is active. There is a possibility to
override this function from the Shut Down & Load Reduction screen.
The Load Programme function will automatically make sure that engine load
up and load down times are adhered to as required by the engine manufa-
curer. The Load Programme may have the mode Normal or Cancelled. In
case of emergency, it is possible to reduce the load up time of the main
engine considerable by pushing the softkey Increase Load Limit. Activation of
this function will generate an alarm. The function is deactivated again by
another push of the softkey.

The Engine Handle Panels (EHP) is a speciality for MAN B&W two stroke
engines. The panel is intended for installation in the engine control room and
available for start, stop and speed setting of the engine. The panel is hard-
wired to the Engine Control System and is able to operate independently of
the Normal propulsion control system.
Once the engine is switched over from local to remote control the operator
can select Engine Manual Control with the pushbutton in the panel. Manual
control from the panel is indicated with light in the pushbutton.
The indicator Load Limited indicates that the engine is loaded above the tor-
que limit and the engine speed might be restricted by the limiter.
Activation of the pushbutton Increase Load Limit will increase the limitation of
the engine and make the engine able to react faster.
Control of the engine is executed with the control lever. When the lever is in
the position STOP the engine will stop (if the panel is In Command). Setting
the lever in stop position will as well send a shutdown reset signal to the
engine control and safety system.

Design
The sketch below shows the design principle of the redundant supplies
where the B supply is equipped with two batteries in order to buffer the con-
sumers for minimum 30 minutes.
Consumers connected to the A/B supply are supplied from the A supply as
long as it is available otherwise the supply is delivered from the B supply.
The unit is furthermore equipped with an electronic earth failure dection.

UPS-BAT / VRLA / 24DC / 12AH - 2320322 is an energy storage developed
for continuous monitoring and intelligent management. The energy storage is
in constant communication with the intelligent QUINT-UPS charging controls.
It is possible in this setup to continuously predict the residual life of the con-
nected energy storage.
The life of a VRLA battery, determined by ambient temperature during opera-
tion. In fact, the temperature weighs about 75% on total life, the number of
discharges weighs approx. 12.5% and the number of deep discharges
weights approx. 12.5%.
Our attitude towards the replacement range of the UPS batteries is therefore
clear. The UPS tells you when it's time to replace the battery. It makes it
about 6 months before battery life is over.

T3: UPS Bar graph The current charging state and the remaining runtime of the battery is deter-
mined during startup of the UPS. The LED will light lights up from bottom to
top during this (charging the battery in mains mode) or from top to bottom
(discharging the battery in battery mode).
When the battery is fully charged and the charging state is determined, this is
displayed by the bar graph. Depending on the charging state and the size of
the battery, the charging can range from a few minutes to hours.
Each LED corresponds to 20% of the total capacity. The lowest LED is divi-
ded into two parts: red for 0-10%, green for 11- 20%.
The current capacity level is indicated by flashing during charging.

Maintenance
The battery is of the maintenance free VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid)
type. The UPS unit communicate online with the batteries and an alarm is
issued, according to tabel if a bad battery status is observed.
The theoretical battery life time is within a temperature from 0°C to +40°C
around 6 to 9 years.
Used batteries must not be thrown away with household waste, they
should instead be disposed of in accordance with applicable national
regulations.
Testing
It is recommended that the power supply is tested at least once every year.
A simple test could be that the A and the B main supplies are switched off.
The outlet should be maintained for at last 30 minutes.
A high attention should be taken during the test as the power, in case
of a malfunction, could be lost before the 30 minutes has passed. Lost
power may result in lost manoeuvrability.

Mechanical installation
The delivered control cabinet is intended for mounting on the bulkhead, allowing 30 to
100 centimetres of free space between the bottom of the cabinet and the deck. This
provides space for cables coming in through the cable flanges in the bottom of the
cabinet. The cable flanges may be removed for drilling of holes for cable glands suitable
for the cables delivered by the installation yard.
Components delivered in terminal boxes or cabinets must not be removed from their
casing. For electrical noise protection, an electric ground connection must be made
from the cabinet to the ship’s hull.
The cabinets must be installed on a place suitable for service inspection. Do not install
the cabinets close to devices generating heat. The enclosure protection of cabinets
intended for indoor installation on bridge or in machinery space is IP54. The enclosure
protection of units intended for open deck or bridge wings is IP56.
The delivered control panels are fixed in the consoles by 4 M6 nuts from the rear after
insertion of the panel from the front. For arrangement of propulsion control stations,
please refer to the lay out drawings delivered for the vessel in question.
Note: As standard the control panels are delivered for indoor installation. Panels
intended for open deck or open bridge wings will be delivered with special gaskets for
enclosure protection IP56 according to required protection for equipment on ships deck.

We recommend portable digital multimeter for measuring ohm values, when checking
the installation by the "ringing through" method.
Warning: The wires must not be tested for short circuits by high voltage equipment i.e.
meggers.

Signal Description Is a text used to describe the alarm or monitoring parameter covered by
the tag name.
Alarm Group Indicates the alarm group in which the alarm is classified. Further details
of the reason for the alarm will be available in the alarm menu at the
propulsion control panel. The following groups are used in the propulsion
control system:
(91) PCS shut down. Warnings related to safety shut down of the power on
the propulsion line. To avoid two alarms on one parameter, safety alarms
activated directly from the engine safety system can be ignored from the
PCS system
(92) PCS load reduction. Warnings related to automatic load reduction of the
power on the propulsion line. To avoid two alarms on one parameter,
Load reduction alarms activated directly from the engine safety system
can be ignored form the PCS system
(94) PCS user initiated commands. Critical propulsion control orders which
requires higher level of attention from the engineer responsible for the
machinery
Note: In addition to the modbus interface some hardwired binary alarms are available
in the system.
The output is open if a failure is detected in the switch. This hardwired alarm is
intended as option information for service identification of system failure.
In general an Ethernet communication failure is announced in all the Propulsion
control Panels as well.
EAX4945 Power supply failure (available if power supply is part of AT3000 supply)
Common alarm from the power supply comprising earth failure and self-
monitoring of the power supply status. Detailed information of failure reason
can be observed on the power supply itself.
