Remote Controller & Safety system for the Marine Azimuth Stern Derive (ASD) Tugboats

Azimuth Thrusters Remote Controller & Safety (RCS-ZMZ-002576-79) system’s  Features & Abilities: 

• Certainly, Engines performance monitoring establishment under sea-trial, monitoring & adjustment of the engine parameters provides via the HMI.

• Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller parameters, simultaneously are available at engineers disposal in several stations under enhanced network.

• Concurrently, several options are available to either complete replacement or existing command levers upgrade as part of retrofit in bridge.

• Correspondingly, modifications of bridge equipment to upgrade the safeties, as long as the maneuverability of the captioned vessels. 

• To match the retrofitted Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller to marine type output actuators, particularly are comprising several buffer amplifiers.

• Mainly, the Regulator of Electro-Hydraulic controller is the cutting-edge technology marine type HAWE for Controllable Pitch Propeller systems.

• Specifically for the electronically controlled Pneumatic actuators, the marine type AVENTICS E/P converters, controls the engine governors.

• Chiefly, for the hydraulic pump’s servo controllers, the marine type MOOG servo actuators, controls the azimuth steering systems.

• The Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller emphatically improves ability of Electronic Regulator’s performance for the engines Electronic Governors. 

• An Electro-Hydraulic Proportional valve’s efficiency to control the azimuth steering system, evidently improves upon accomplishment of controller.

• Specifically, for VFD-based designs to control azimuth angle & propeller speed, control system design deploys over the PROFINET network.

• The actuators are acting as system’s outputs and generally the sensors performing the system’s feedbacks through the several designated points.

• Imperative and designated alarms unquestionably assigns to the several points of CPP(s), Engine, Gearbox or Azimuth thruster’s sensors.

• Either Distributed Control or Fieldbus safeties related to control system establishes to act markedly intelligent & necessary inputs to system.

Remote Controller & Safety (RCS-ZMZ-002576-77-79) for the Azimuth Thrusters SYSTEM’s ARCHITECTURE:

• Azimuth Thruster Remote Controller mainly consisting of the two independent sets of the central PLC(s), compose the main RCS stations.

• Marine Approved type PLC as the higher layer in the hierarchy, simultaneusely located both in the ECR and the BRIDGE.

• Meanwhile, several Sub-Stations connecting to the main stations (as the medium layer, including the Control Levers and HMIs).

• For the purpose of the communication, links and data transfer lines significantly establishing through the PROFINET.

• Several sub-stations allocates in the several locations under PROFINET network, likewise in the wings and the Emergency Stand.

• There are several remote stations consisting of the compact Control Levers and the HMI(s), surely as the Control and safety monitoring stations.

• The HMI (machine control/ interfaces to the operators), basically locating in the several monitoring stations like BRIDGE, WINGs, ECR, Emergency Stand & etc.

• Another key point is the enhanced network, accordingly depends on the individual types of maritime vessels and their requirements.

• All things considered, interconnections to exterior monitoring systems & data Networks, likewise bridge control station, explicitly achieves through PROFINET.
