Watch-keeping of machinery plant K-CHIEF machinery automation system provides full control of all the machineries. From multifunctional operator stations in the engine control room the engineer on watch has excellent overview of the power plant, propulsion machinery and other machinery systems. Operator stations for monitoring as well as limited operations are available in wheel house and safety centre, and portable units may be used in engine rooms for troubleshooting purposes.
Safe and reliable power generation The power generation and distribution plant is controlled and monitored by the K-Chief power management system. Redundancy and segregation of power management components to comply with notations for redundant propulsion plant is standard. Built-in blackout prevention features such as dynamic load limitation of propulsion and thrusters drives, monitoring of load sharing devices and load shedding are standard features.
Optimizing vessel performance Tools for data recording, trending, reporting and analysis are available, gathering data from all parts of the integrated control system. The engineers may combine historic data from machinery systems, HVAC and navigation and compare different operational conditions in order to optimize the performance of the vessel. The monitoring and trending function provides operators with a powerful tool for analysis of power consumption and fuel optimization of propulsion and HVAC plant. All logged data, alarms and events, includes synchronised time stamping with milliseconds resolutions in order to facilitate incident investigation.
Design that optimises installation The K-Chief system features multifunctional input/output units where signal type is software configurable for each channel. Furthermore data acquisition units are extensively distributed throughout the vessels and are pre-mounted in switchboards and other panels to ease ship erection. A high utilisation of field buses significantly reduces ship cabling, even for safety critical equipment such as fire dampers and fire doors.
