Azimuth Stern Drive Tugboat Automations Renovation process to achieve Our company’s slogan: “Innovations for Renovations”.
 

Azimuth Stern Drive Tugboat Automations Renovation process performed Under Siemens brand (1217c marine-approved type plc based), the Versatile & Robust control system.

A well-known automations software which released as the RCS -ZMZ-002577 ( Azimuth-Thrusters-Control series) remote control system (produced by R.A.Sh.B.M. company).

Every remote controller and safety system is tailor-made to control the SCHOTTEL brand azimuth thrusters to prepare enhanced maneuverability over the ASD tugboat TENERIFE_X series.

The renovation & retrofit process carried out over the vessel to install an intelligent & cutting-edge-technology based remote control and safety under the SIEMENS brand platform.

Azimuth Stern Drive Tugboat Automations Renovation considering the PORT & STBD sides SCHOTTEL brand Azimuth Thrusters fully overhauled.

The SCHOTTEL azimuth thrusters relevant seals replaced & hydraulic system tested to make sure that internal-leakage for the actuator minimized & whilst connecting to the remote control system (ZMZ-002577) the response through the hydraulic-systems to move the pitch of the propeller are enough sharp & on-time.

To perform the Azimuth Stern Drive Tugboat Automations Renovation process, one of the most important & influential part of the control system, definitely is the amplifier card to drive the hydraulic-systems actuators .

Herewith and in the present project (Azimuth Stern Drive Tugboat Automations Renovation), the HAWE electro-hydraulic system’s amplifier card hired to perform and participate its imperative role to safely control the pitch and acting as an intelligent-automation servo actuator amplifier system.
As a matter of fact, the Rexroth amplifier cards hired to trigger the azimuth-thruster ‘s steering system in the full round of the 360 degree.
Both for the azimuth & pitch control systems we’ve manipulated the closed-loop-control by means of the relevant feedbacks.

As a predefined rule, the open-loop-control has been established to control the engines speed via the relevant E/P converters.
As has been witnessed through the characteristics tests and reports over the performance monitoring system of the Azimuth Stern Drive Tugboat Automations Renovation process, over a very sharp & ground breaking technology which is hired in a German made brand, the response time has been minimized and a hassle-free operation provided for both the CPP & azimuth systems.

Moreover, as an imperative part to a closed loop control system, the feedback technologies are one of the most essential parts.

To establish an strong and robust feedback system and to provide a precise feedback over the control loop, the Midori precision positioners in line with the buffer-amplifiers are our chosen technology.
All above mentioned parts and circuitries, in conjunction to the SIEMENS brand PLC has performed a cutting-edge-technology to proudly control the SCHOTTEL brand azimuth thrusters in a very safe and sound mode of the operation.
