Functional Description
The AutoChief®600 Propulsion Control System is designed for remote control of the
main engine from the combined telegraph and manoeuvring lever located next to the
ACP in the wheelhouse and engine control room. By moving this lever, the system will
automatically start, reverse, stop and speed-set the main engine. Dedicated levers may be
added to operate auxiliary and bow/azimuth thruster control systems.
AutoChief®600 complies with the requirements of IMO, local maritime authorities,
IACS, and eleven classification societies. It is designed to meet the classification
societies requirements for periodically unmanned engine room operation. The system
conforms to all rules and regulations, and all modules are type approved. The system
incorporates the latest advances in hardware and software technology.

Setpoint adjustment
The AutoChief®600 Lever Telegraph Unit (LTU) enables an operator on the bridge to
be in direct command of the ship by allowing speed and rotation control of the engine.
Communication is established between the bridge, the engine room and local stand
via the telegraph system.
The lever operates in eleven fixed steps, where each step represents an RPM/thrust
command in ahead or astern direction.
• Ahead :
– Navigation Full
– Full
– Half

Functional Description
Command Transfer
The command transfer section can be found on both the LTU and PBT. Buttons are used
for both indicating current command position and command transfer.
Bridge
The engine is (or shall be) controlled by an operator on the
bridge/bridgewing, using the automatic Remote Control System.
ECR
Local
The engine is controlled by operators at the local stand, using
the local control system, according to telegraph commands from
the bridge/wheelhouse displayed on the PBT.
Note
Command positions may be added/removed according to ship
configuration.

Sub-Telegraph modes
The sub-telegraph functions are used to inform the engine crew about their required state
of alert, as well as need for propulsive and electric power.
Functions
The push-buttons are used for sub-telegraph mode transfer. Icons are lit to indicate
sub-telegraph mode
• At Sea: Command permits an unmanned ECR and engine.
The operator on the bridge informing that all systems shall
be prepared and set-up for seagoing with engine control
from the bridge.
• Stand By: Command requires that the ECR/engine shall be
manned.
The operator on the bridge is informing the engine crew
that all systems shall be prepared for stand by and engine
prepared for start. It may also inform the engine crew that the
vessel is entering channel or harbour where special attention
has to be made to the machinery or steering plant.
• FWE (Finished with engine): Used by the operator on the
bridge informing the engine crew there will be no need for propulsive power.
To secure that the engine cannot be started unintentionally some safety actions has to
be done by the engine crew. The engine crew will then acknowledge by pressing the
FWE button on the display, which will indicate a steady light.

Functional Description
Slow turning
If the engine has been stopped for a certain time (normally 30 minutes), the first start will
include one revolution with slow turning of the main engine. When a start order is given
from bridge (by setting the bridge lever from stop to any position ahead (or astern) the
slow turning valve will be activated, and a limited amount of starting air will be supplied
to the main engine, the engine will rotate slowly on starting air.
When one revolution is completed, the engine will be started in a normal way. Slow
turning indication will be shown in the control room and bridge ACP. If one revolution
with slow turning is not accomplished within the correct time, alarm Max slow turning
time is released in control room and bridge.
It’s also possible to perform slow turning on demand. This is done by activating the
function in the ACP mimic Engine modes.
Normal start
Starting of the main engine is performed when the bridge lever is moved from stop to
any position in ahead (or astern direction). If the engine is Ready for start the system will
provide a start signal to the WECS 9520.
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 3 start failures alarm will be released.
383538/A 33
Kongsberg AutoChief®600
Starting failure
Starting failure is detected when one of the following conditions occurs, and is indicated
on ECR and Bridge ACP.
• 3 start failures
• Start time limit
Start time limit means that the engine is unable to reach the start-air/fuel-change level
within a specific time period.
Start failures are reset by setting the manoeuvring lever to stop.
Running
The signal Running is indicated when the engine is running on fuel.
34 383538/A
Functional Description
Reversing thrust
Reversing
Engine thrust 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.
For Fixed Pitch Propeller (FPP) installations a reversing sequence will be carried out prior
to the starting sequence in opposite direction. If the engine is running above the brake air
level, then brake air will be supplied when engine has reached the brake air RPM level,
in order to perform the reversing sequence as fast as possible.
Crash astern
Crash manoeuvring means quick reversing of the engine thrust from ahead to full
astern, and used in emergency situations which are most likely observed from bridge
or bridgewing.
• Initiated when the bridge lever is moved from Ahead to
Emergency Astern position, according to a set of parameters.
• Crash Astern indication on bridge and engine control room
ACP.
• Stop signal will be given to the main engine.
• Engine speed will be reduced to brake air level.
• Engine will be reversed, and start air will be supplied.
• Heavy start and cancel limiters signals will be given to the speed control system.
• When the speed reaches the fuel/start air change level in astern direction, the start air
will be switched off, and fuel will be supplied.
• Engine RPM will be increased to Emergency Astern
Parameters can be inspected and adjusted Parameters Change — Start Stop Reversing —

system is designed to control the cylinder lubrication unit for Wärtsilä RT-Flex Engines.
The operation modes are as follows:
• Dynamic load dependence of cylinder lubrication.
• Running in of all cylinders with fixed lubr. Qty.
• Emergency cylinder lubrication.
The lubrication pump is controlled by means of speed. The speed command is calculated
on behalf of the mode selected and the actual engine load.

Regulator functions:
• Controlling speed of the main engine based on set-point from lever in control.
• Protecting the engine from overload.
• Rough Sea mode (using rough sea gain settings).
• Constant fuel mode (Increases the dead band for speed regulation).
Governor management:
• In bridge control, the governor is managed by the remote control system.
• In control room control, the governor is managed by the AutoChief®600 telegraph
lever or WECS Manual control panel.
• In local control the speed set-point can be initiated by dedicated set-point controls.
• The governor unit is connected to an electric actuator operating the fuel rack.
42 383538/A
Functional Description
RPM limiters
RPM Limiters are included in the system for protecting the engine and its accessories
against thermal stress, causing destruction and unnecessary wear and tear.
Speed program
When setting the bridge handle to Navigation Full position, speed program will be
activated. The purpose of this function is to prevent engine internal temperature (i.e
liners and pistons), from increasing too fast when higher load is applied. This will be
indicated as Speed up program active on the ACP.
When MCR is obtained the Speed up
program active indication will disappear.
The same function may also apply for
the opposite purpose. When reducing
speed from Navigation Full to full ahead
the load down function is activated,
slowly decreasing the speed to allow
the engine to cool down.
If the bridge lever is set to a position
below Full ahead before the speed down
program is finished, the program will
automatically be cancelled.
It is possible to cancel the speed program (both up and down) by operating cancel
limitation push-button on the ACP.
Slow-Down limiter
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 speed
reduction request to the remote control
system. The speed set-point will after
a pre-warning time be reduced to the
pre-defined Slow Down level.
During pre-warning time an alarm Slow
down cancellable or Slow down none cancellable will be displayed on the ACP.

Emergency Stop
Emergency Stop may be activated from all control stands at any time, regardless of
the control position. When activated, the operator is notified by a popup message and
buzzer alarm, until alarm is acknowledged.
The current status of all Emergency Stop switches is displayed in a dedicated mimic
picture, with a red indicator highlighting which switch is activated or if a loop failure
occurs.
The emergency stop solenoid valve is directly activated through the Engine Safety Unit
(ESU) when one of the push-buttons is activated. Stop signal is sent to the Remote
Control System (RCS) and zero fuel order is given to the governor. The engine will stop,
and an alarm Emergency Stop is activated.
3–5 Emergency Stop switches are provided on the telegraph panels in bridge (and bridge
wings), engine control room and on the engine side control box.
Note
Function is designed to shut down the engine as fast as possible, and overriding limiters.
Emergency Stop switches are hardwired directly to the engine safety system.
All Emergency Stop switches must be in inactive position before the main engine can be
restarted.

include one revolution with slow turning of the main engine. When a start order is given
from bridge (by setting the bridge lever from stop to any position ahead (or astern) the
slow turning valve will be activated, and a limited amount of starting air will be supplied
to the main engine, the engine will rotate slowly on starting air.
When one revolution is completed, the engine will be started in a normal way. Slow
turning indication will be shown in the control room and bridge ACP. If one revolution
with slow turning is not accomplished within the correct time, alarm Max slow turning
time is released in control room and bridge.
It’s also possible to perform slow turning on demand. This is done by activating the
function in the ACP mimic Engine modes.
Normal start
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 3 start failures alarm will be released.
Starting failure
Starting failure is detected when one of the following conditions occurs, and is indicated
on ECR and Bridge ACP.
• 3 start failures
• Start time limit

setting the bridge handle from stop to any position in ahead (or astern) direction.
For Fixed Pitch Propeller (FPP) installations a reversing sequence will be carried out prior
to the starting sequence in opposite direction. If the engine is running above the brake air
level, then brake air will be supplied when engine has reached the brake air RPM level,
in order to perform the reversing sequence as fast as possible.
Crash astern
Crash manoeuvring means quick reversing of the engine thrust from ahead to full
astern, and used in emergency situations which are most likely observed from bridge
or bridgewing.
• Initiated when the bridge lever is moved from Ahead to
Emergency Astern position, according to a set of parameters.
• Crash Astern indication on bridge and engine control room
ACP.
• Stop signal will be given to the main engine.
• Engine speed will be reduced to brake air level.
• Engine will be reversed, and start air will be supplied.
• Heavy start and cancel limiters signals will be given to the speed control system.
• When the speed reaches the fuel/start air change level in astern direction, the start air
will be switched off, and fuel will be supplied.
• Engine RPM will be increased to Emergency Astern

Limiters view
Most engine limiters are configured during commissioning.
Adjustable limiters are displayed in white fields in the Limiters — Set Limiter page.
46 383529/A
Functional Description
RPM limiters
RPM Limiters are included in the system for protecting the engine and its accessories
against thermal stress, causing destruction and unnecessary wear and tear.
Speed program
When setting the bridge handle to Navigation Full position, speed program will be
activated. The purpose of this function is to prevent engine internal temperature (i.e
liners and pistons), from increasing too fast when higher load is applied. This will be
indicated as Speed up program active on the ACP.
When MCR is obtained the Speed up
program active indication will disappear.
The same function may also apply for
the opposite purpose. When reducing
speed from Navigation Full to full ahead
the load down function is activated,
slowly decreasing the speed to allow
the engine to cool down.
If the bridge lever is set to a position
below Full ahead before the speed down
program is finished, the program will
automatically be cancelled.
It is possible to cancel the speed program (both up and down) by operating cancel
limitation push-button on the ACP.
Slow-Down limiter
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 speed
reduction request to the remote control
system. The speed set-point will after
a pre-warning time be reduced to the
pre-defined Slow Down level.
During pre-warning time an alarm Slow
down cancellable or Slow down none cancellable will be displayed on the ACP.

buzzer alarm, until alarm is acknowledged.
The current status of all Emergency Stop switches is displayed in a dedicated mimic
picture, with a red indicator highlighting which switch is activated or if a loop failure
occurs.
The emergency stop solenoid valve is directly activated through the Engine Safety Unit
(ESU) when one of the push-buttons is activated. Stop signal is sent to the Remote
Control System (RCS) and zero fuel order is given to the governor. The engine will stop,
and an alarm Emergency Stop is activated.
3–5 Emergency Stop switches are provided on the telegraph panels in bridge (and bridge
wings), engine control room and on the engine side control box.
Note
Function is designed to shut down the engine as fast as possible, and overriding limiters.
Emergency Stop switches are hardwired directly to the engine safety system.
All Emergency Stop switches must be in inactive position before the main engine can be
restarted.
