Functional Description

Remote Control System Description


The Kongsberg Maritime Marine Automation system consists of, among others the
AutoChief®600 Propulsion Control System. Modular design allows flexibility in
configuration of the system to individual requirements, covering the whole range
from standard propulsion configurations to highly advanced twin or quadruple engine
installations with high, medium or low speed engines connected to reduction, reversing
gear or variable pitch propellers. This system may be a part of a total integrated ship
control system consisting of other sub-systems.

Systems such as:


• Alarm and monitoring system.
• Auxiliary and bow/azimuth thruster
and engine/rudder control systems.
• Power management system.
• Ballast automation system.
• HVAC (air conditioning).
• Management support and “Green
Ship” performance.

The AutoChief®600 system is based on C20 technology and Kongsberg Maritime


unified automation concept. Each individual ship configuration is built up using
standard modules communicating on dual CAN- and local area networks. The system
is configurable for all ship types and control applications.

8 383538/A

Engine state, start Interlock/Fail/Block


The Engine State mimic page will display status of conditions prohibiting engine
operation. Illustration may deviate from configuration.

Figure 4 Engine State

Start Interlock
The Interlock input may contain a various amount of start interlocks. Which signals to
be implemented are for the owner or shipyard to decide. If however this input is active
the actual items in the interlock circuit has to be cancelled before a start can take place.

3 start failures
If the engine fails to run on the first start attempt, a total of 2 repeated starts will be
performed by the control system. If 3 start attempts are made and the engine didn’t start
the message 3 Start Failures will be announced. To reset this function the manoeuvre
lever has to be set to Stop

Slow turning over-speed


Slow turning may be activated manually or it will automatically be activated if the
engine has been stopped for a pre-set time.
Slow-turning is performed by means of the main start valve and a start cut-off valve. If a
failure should occur with this arrangement and the engine rotates with a higher speed
than normal the message slow-turning over-speed will be announced.

30 383538/A
Functional Description

Start time limit


During engine start it is estimated that it shall reach a certain RPM level just after fuel
is supplied. If this RPM level is not reached within a pre-defined time Start time limit
will be announced.

Start air pressure low


To secure a safe start of the main engine a minimum starting air pressure is required. If
the pressure is below this preset level Start Block is activated.
The value for minimum starting air pressure allowed is preset in parameters in the
AutoChief®600 remote control system. Some configurations have, instead of an
indicator lamp, a dedicated instrument to display actual starting air pressure with
red/green colored graph to indicate minimum level.

RPM detector failure


RPM monitoring is critical for starting and running of the engine. If the RPM measuring
system is experiencing a double detector failure the engine is inhibited for starting.

Brake time limit


When the engine is running and the direction of rotation shall be changed (reversed),
the control system will brake the engines rotation by activating starting air for start in
the opposite direction. If, for any reason, the RPM does not reach a preset level within
a preset time, defined in the Brake air limit the brake air will be shut off and Brake air
limit will be announced.

Safety Stop

This indicator announces that the normal cylinder lubrication function has failed and that
the emergency cylinder lubrication is active.

32 383538/A
Functional Description

Starting the Main Engine


Cylinder pre/post lubrication
A cylinder pre-lubrication function is provided in the system. A softkey in the ACP
mimic Engine modes is provided for this function. This softkey activates a solenoid
valve which allows the lubrication oil pump to be driven by the crosshead bearing oil,
this giving cylinder pre-lubrication for an adjustable time (30 sec). This function can
either be automatic together with slow turning, or it can be manually initiated from the
control room ACP.

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 —
Crash Astern

Stopping the Main Engine


The engine is stopped by setting the lever in control to STOP position. A stop signal
will be sent to the WECS 9520.

Emergency Stop switches are located at each control station


throughout the ship.
The emergency stop function activates the emergency stop
system in the main engine safety system. Additionally the
conventional stop system is activated and the speed order to the
RPM control system is set to zero RPM.
Function is further described in Emergency Stop on page 49.

36 383538/A
Functional Description

Engine operation modes


The AutoChief®600 can be configured to operate in several engine modes, specified by
ship operation requirements and the engine manufacturer.

Figure 5 Engine operation modes

Constant fuel mode


The RPM is continuously measured and when the RPM has remained constant for a
predefined time a signal hardwired to a solenoid valve in the Governor system. The
governor will then lock the fuel actuator output to a fixed fuel index. When the Fuel
index is locked the RPM will fluctuate. Anyhow this function is required in some cases
i.e. when indicator diagrams shall be made and similar.
During this sequence the RPM
is continuously monitored
and compared with a upper
and lower RPM deviation
parameter. If the RPM
fluctuates above or below
these limits, the fuel actuator
output will be unlocked and
the RPM is governed back to
the set-point requested from
the remote control system. There are also limiters for which RPM areas this function
may be used. I.e. it’s not allowed in low RPM areas where the engine may stop if the
fuel amount is not controlled continuously or, in high RPM areas where the engine
may increase to over speed RPM level.

383538/A 37
Kongsberg AutoChief®600

Shaft Generator control mode


When shaft generator (PTO) is provided with a constant frequency gear (CFR), an
optional function in the remote control system is available in order to avoid black out
during speed reduction and slow down.
An input signal from the main
switchboard "shaft generator
in service" should be connected
to the remote control system.
The remote control system
will give out signal "request
for diesel generator starting
& disconnection of shaft
generator".
When shaft generator is
connected to the switchboard, the engine speed should be above a certain level (normally
75% of MCR, adjustable). If speed command is ordered below the lowest working level
for shaft generator, from the bridge handle, or because of Slow Down, the following
sequence take place:
• The speed will rapidly be decreased to shaft generator minimum working level.
• "RPM holding" indication in bridge and control room ACP
• Signal "request for diesel generator starting & disconnection of shaft generator" will
be given to the main switchboard.
• Speed will be kept at the shaft generator minimum working level until signal "shaft
generator in service" goes off, or maximum 60 seconds (adjustable).
• After the signal "shaft generator in service" extinguish, the speed will be reduced to
the required level (bridge handle requirements or Slow Down level).

38 383538/A
Functional Description

Rough Sea mode (option)


When Rough Sea mode is selected, the regulator selects the Rough Sea settings for
the PI governor, ref. parameter list (Misc Menu — Param Change — ME Governor
— DGU PID).
Alternate values may be programmed to adapt to a special sea-going condition, such as:
blasted vessel, rough sea conditions, or situations when smoother fuel-pump variations
are preferred over steady RPM. The regulator will use the regular PI governor settings
when Rough Sea mode is not selected.
The Rough Sea mode is provided as an option and is not approved by all engine
manufacturers.

Fuel Set-point Control


In Set-point mode, the Fuel Quantity is set directly using the lever in command. If the
lever is set to “Dead Slow” 0% fuel will be provided and “Nav Full” will correspond to
100% fuel command, independent of the engine speed. The limiters will still work so the
engine will not be overloaded with fuel. However it may easily over-speed.
The function is handy if indicator diagrams shall be retrieved when the Fuel Index has to
be kept at the same position reading all cylinders.

383538/A 39
Kongsberg AutoChief®600

Remote control system auxiliary functions


Auxiliary blower control
Auxiliary blowers are automatically controlled by the AutoChief®600 remote control
system. The auxiliary blowers will automatically be set to Auto “Pre-Select” and “OFF”
by the AutoChief®600. Alarm for "all aux. blower failure" is included in the remote
control system. I.e. if all aux. blowers fail to start, during start, the All Aux. Blow,
Failure alarm is released and the start sequence is interrupted, waiting for aux. blowers
to start. The auxiliary blower will automatically be set to Auto when start is ordered.
Pressure switches will start and stop Aux. blowers (When turbochargers feeds enough
charge air for running the engine. aux. blowers is stopped by the pressure switch).

Cylinder lubrication
The cylinder lubrication is controlled by the AutoChief®600 remote control system. The
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.

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.

383538/A 43
Kongsberg AutoChief®600

Critical speed/RPM limiter


In order to avoid operation of the
main engine in critical (barred) speed
areas, there is provided a critical speed
avoidance program.
The system will during acceleration keep
the engine running at the lower critical
speed until command has reached the
upper limit, during de-acceleration it
will keep the engine running at the upper
limit until command has reached the lower limit.
There are two critical RPM zones available, a ‘high’ and ‘low’,
each having an upper and lower limit adjustable in engine
parameters. These zones can be displayed in red on the RPM
indicator on the ACP, and mostly on Fixed Pitch Propeller
configurations.
If bridge command is within this area, the Critical RPM limit on
bridge and in control room ACP will turn up. Indication for Critical Speed will be shown
on the ACP if the engine RPM run too long within the critical (or barred) speed ranges.

Acceleration limiter
The acceleration limiter defines
maximum acceleration and retardation
in RPM/seconds.

Manual RPM limiter


This function is also called Chief
limiter. It’s a parameter in the remote
control system, initiated by the ACP
for pre-setting maximum allowed RPM
for ahead or astern running. If the RPM
command is set higher, the command
will be limited to the value inserted in
this parameter.

Functional Description

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.

Bridge Push-button with light and cover integrated in


bridge LTU.
Bridge Wing (Option) Push-button with light and cover integrated in the
BWU
Engine Control Room Push-button with light and cover integrated in the
ECR LTU
Local Control Push-button with light and cover integrated in local
control cabinet.

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.

operation. Illustration may deviate from configuration.

Figure 5 Engine State

Start Interlock
The Interlock input may contain a various amount of start interlocks. Which signals to
be implemented are for the owner or shipyard to decide. If however this input is active
the actual items in the interlock circuit has to be cancelled before a start can take place.

3 start failures
If the engine fails to run on the first start attempt, a total of 2 repeated starts will be
performed by the control system. If 3 start attempts are made and the engine didn’t start
the message 3 Start Failures will be announced. To reset this function the manoeuvre
lever has to be set to Stop

Slow turning over-speed


Slow turning may be activated manually or it will automatically be activated if the
engine has been stopped for a pre-set time.
Slow-turning is performed by means of the main start valve and a start cut-off valve. If a
failure should occur with this arrangement and the engine rotates with a higher speed
than normal the message slow-turning over-speed will be announced.

34 383529/A
Functional Description

Start time limit


During engine start it is estimated that it shall reach a certain RPM level just after fuel
is supplied. If this RPM level is not reached within a pre-defined time Start time limit
will be announced.

Start air pressure low


To secure a safe start of the main engine a minimum starting air pressure is required. If
the pressure is below this preset level Start Block is activated.
The value for minimum starting air pressure allowed is preset in parameters in the
AutoChief®600 remote control system. Some configurations have, instead of an
indicator lamp, a dedicated instrument to display actual starting air pressure with
red/green colored graph to indicate minimum level.

RPM detector failure


RPM monitoring is critical for starting and running of the engine. If the RPM measuring
system is experiencing a double detector failure the engine is inhibited for starting.

Brake time limit


When the engine is running and the direction of rotation shall be changed (reversed),
the control system will brake the engines rotation by activating starting air for start in
the opposite direction. If, for any reason, the RPM does not reach a preset level within
a preset time, defined in the Brake air limit the brake air will be shut off and Brake air
limit will be announced.

Safety Stop
Engine has tripped because of a shut down detected and activated by the safety system.
Details can be found in the alarm list on the Safety system mimic pages.

All aux. blower failure

the emergency cylinder lubrication is active.

36 383529/A
Functional Description

Starting the Main Engine


Cylinder pre/post lubrication
A cylinder pre-lubrication function is provided in the system. A softkey in the ACP
mimic Engine modes is provided for this function. This softkey activates a solenoid
valve which allows the lubrication oil pump to be driven by the crosshead bearing oil,
this giving cylinder pre-lubrication for an adjustable time (30 sec). This function can
either be automatic together with slow turning, or it can be manually initiated from the
control room ACP.

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

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
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.

383529/A 37
Kongsberg AutoChief®600

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 —

Functional Description

Stopping the Main Engine


The engine is stopped by setting the lever in control to STOP position. A stop signal
will be sent to the WECS 9520.

Emergency Stop switches are located at each control station


throughout the ship.
The emergency stop function activates the emergency stop
system in the main engine safety system. Additionally the
conventional stop system is activated and the speed order to the
RPM control system is set to zero RPM.
Function is further described in Emergency Stop on page 52.

383529/A 39
Kongsberg AutoChief®600

Engine operation modes


The AutoChief®600 can be configured to operate in several engine modes, specified by
ship operation requirements and the engine manufacturer.

Figure 6 Engine operation modes

Constant fuel mode


The RPM is continuously measured and when the RPM has remained constant for a
predefined time a signal hardwired to a solenoid valve in the Governor system. The
governor will then lock the fuel actuator output to a fixed fuel index. When the Fuel
index is locked the RPM will fluctuate. Anyhow this function is required in some cases
i.e. when indicator diagrams shall be made and similar.
During this sequence the RPM
is continuously monitored
and compared with a upper
and lower RPM deviation
parameter. If the RPM
fluctuates above or below
these limits, the fuel actuator
output will be unlocked and
the RPM is governed back to
the set-point requested from
the remote control system. There are also limiters for which RPM areas this function
may be used. I.e. it’s not allowed in low RPM areas where the engine may stop if the
fuel amount is not controlled continuously or, in high RPM areas where the engine
may increase to over speed RPM level.

40 383529/A
Functional Description

Shaft Generator control mode


When shaft generator (PTO) is provided with a constant frequency gear (CFR), an
optional function in the remote control system is available in order to avoid black out
during speed reduction and slow down.
An input signal from the main
switchboard "shaft generator
in service" should be connected
to the remote control system.
The remote control system
will give out signal "request
for diesel generator starting
& disconnection of shaft
generator".
When shaft generator is
connected to the switchboard, the engine speed should be above a certain level (normally
75% of MCR, adjustable). If speed command is ordered below the lowest working level
for shaft generator, from the bridge handle, or because of Slow Down, the following
sequence take place:
• The speed will rapidly be decreased to shaft generator minimum working level.
• "RPM holding" indication in bridge and control room ACP
• Signal "request for diesel generator starting & disconnection of shaft generator" will
be given to the main switchboard.
• Speed will be kept at the shaft generator minimum working level until signal "shaft
generator in service" goes off, or maximum 60 seconds (adjustable).
• After the signal "shaft generator in service" extinguish, the speed will be reduced to
the required level (bridge handle requirements or Slow Down level).
Caution
Emergency Stop, Shut Down (SHD) and manoeuvring orders like Crash
astern and Stop could result in a Black-out.

Rough Sea mode (option)


When Rough Sea mode is selected, the regulator selects the Rough Sea settings for
the PI governor, ref. parameter list (Misc Menu — Param Change — ME Governor
— DGU PID).
Alternate values may be programmed to adapt to a special sea-going condition, such as:
blasted vessel, rough sea conditions, or situations when smoother fuel-pump variations
are preferred over steady RPM. The regulator will use the regular PI governor settings
when Rough Sea mode is not selected.
The Rough Sea mode is provided as an option and is not approved by all engine
manufacturers.

383529/A 41
Kongsberg AutoChief®600

Fuel Set-point Control


In Set-point mode, the Fuel Quantity is set directly using the lever in command. If the
lever is set to “Dead Slow” 0% fuel will be provided and “Nav Full” will correspond to
100% fuel command, independent of the engine speed. The limiters will still work so the
engine will not be overloaded with fuel. However it may easily over-speed.
The function is handy if indicator diagrams shall be retrieved when the Fuel Index has to
be kept at the same position reading all cylinders.

42 383529/A
Functional Description

Remote control system auxiliary functions


Auxiliary blower control
Auxiliary blowers are automatically controlled by the AutoChief®600 remote control
system. The auxiliary blowers will automatically be set to Auto “Pre-Select” and “OFF”
by the AutoChief®600. Alarm for "all aux. blower failure" is included in the remote
control system. I.e. if all aux. blowers fail to start, during start, the All Aux. Blow,
Failure alarm is released and the start sequence is interrupted, waiting for aux. blowers
to start. The auxiliary blower will automatically be set to Auto when start is ordered.
Pressure switches will start and stop Aux. blowers (When turbochargers feeds enough
charge air for running the engine. aux. blowers is stopped by the pressure switch).

Cylinder lubrication
The cylinder lubrication is controlled by the AutoChief®600 remote control system. The
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.

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.

383529/A 47
Kongsberg AutoChief®600

Critical speed/RPM limiter


In order to avoid operation of the
main engine in critical (barred) speed
areas, there is provided a critical speed
avoidance program.
The system will during acceleration keep
the engine running at the lower critical
speed until command has reached the
upper limit, during de-acceleration it
will keep the engine running at the upper
limit until command has reached the lower limit.
There are two critical RPM zones available, a ‘high’ and ‘low’,
each having an upper and lower limit adjustable in engine
parameters. These zones can be displayed in red on the RPM
indicator on the ACP, and mostly on Fixed Pitch Propeller
configurations.
If bridge command is within this area, the Critical RPM limit on
bridge and in control room ACP will turn up. Indication for Critical Speed will be shown
on the ACP if the engine RPM run too long within the critical (or barred) speed ranges.

Acceleration limiter
The acceleration limiter defines
maximum acceleration and retardation
in RPM/seconds.

Manual RPM limiter


This function is also called Chief
limiter. It’s a parameter in the remote
control system, initiated by the ACP
for pre-setting maximum allowed RPM
for ahead or astern running. If the RPM
command is set higher, the command
will be limited to the value inserted in
this parameter.

Over-speed Shut Down


Over speed is detected by the RPM detection system, from tacho pick-ups which are
mounted towards the engine fly-wheel, when the engine revolution exceeds the over
speed level (typically 107% of MCR, adjustable).
A hardwired signal from the RPM detection system is connected to a Shut Down input
on the ESU for direct activation of emergency stop solenoid valve.
The engine will stop and the alarm Over speed will be shown on the ACP.
Over speed is reset by setting the manoeuvring lever at the control stand to stop position.
The engine may then be restarted.

Safety function Slow Down (SLD)


Slow Down Function (1 – 16)
The engine will automatically reduce the speed corresponding to slow (adjustable) if
any of the slow down sensors is activated. Slow Down signal will be sent to the remote
control system and/or the governor, which takes action. Slow Down is indicated on
the ACP.
The inputs for Slow Down sensors are as follows:
Slow Down 1-16: To be specified for the actual project.

The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type. The Slow Downs may be
configured as cancellable or non cancellable type. Non cancellable types will reduce the
engine speed immediately; while there will be time delay on the cancellable ones. The
delay time may be adjusted individually for each sensor.
Slow Down is either automatically reset after the sensor is de-activated, or alternatively,
it is reset when the sensor is de-activated and the bridge handle is set below the Slow
Down level.

A none cancellable Slow Down will activate speed reduction immediately after the
time delay has run out.
Slow Down action is performed as follows:
Bridge Control Automatically by the remote control system.
Engine Control Room Automatically by the governor or manually by the
operator
Local Control: Manually by the local fuel control device.

Maintenance

Troubleshooting
“System Warning” indication
The AutoChief®600 Control Panel (ACP) will constantly monitor the communication
status with nodes in the network. When a node drops out a System Warning indication
will appear in the top status bar. This event does not necessarily trigger an alarm, but
needs to be further investigated.

Navigate to sub-menu Misc Menu — Misc 2 — Invalid Tags.

Check the following:


• If the displayed list is very long this may indicate the ACP has lost communication.
Check the ACP at other control stations to see if the problem is isolated to one ACP
or widespread.
• If a few modules are indicated on several ACP, this may indicate a problem in a
cabinet or a cable segment.
• If a single module is indicated on several ACP, this unit should be physically inspected.
• The Invalid Tags list provide feedback from autonomous network nodes, specified
in Tag Details.

9 Operation and Maintenance
9.1 Suitable Paper
The printer mechanism is specified for a paper width
of 82 mm +/- 0.5, with a weight of 70 g/sqm. Other
paper widths may cause dysfunctions. GeBE offers
paper rolls with a 42mm diameter (app.20m) and a
weight of 70g/sqm in its standard program. Other
diameters are available on request. For special
applications, archivally safe, two-ply, or water, grease,
or alcohol resistant papers are available.
The GeBE team will gladly assist you in selecting a
suitable thermal paper.

Other papers may cause failures:


Thermal papers that are resistant against water, grease,
or alcohol are available for special applications. We will
gladly assist you in selecting the right thermal paper for
your purposes.

Which side of the thermal paper can be printed on?


The inside of the paper roll is always the printable side.
When in doubt, try the finger nail test: Quickly run the
tip of a finger nail across the paper, applying pressure.
The friction heat will cause blackening on the
thermo sensitive side.

9.2 Paper Insert


1. For easy service, unlock the front lid, and remove
the printer cassette from the metal housing.
2. Then, pull out the rewinder disk on the side, and
remove the remaining paper.
3. Unlock the paper roll axle on both sides, before
pulling it out of the paper roll holder toward the top
(avoid wiggling, since it might cause damage to the
paper roll holder).
4. Push the paper roll axle inside the new paper roll,
and insert it in the paper roll holder.
5. Guide the paper around the rubber roll, below the
cassette housing and back to the paper rewinder.
6. Push the printer mechanism cassette back into the
housing until the catch locks in place.

Cleaning and Service 10
9.3 Cleaning
After larger print efforts, depending on the paper quality and adverse environmental conditions, it may be
necessary to clean the print head, sensor, and the platen roll, especially, if some areas are no longer printed
properly.

1. Open printer mechanism by slightly pressing metal lever


upwards.
2. Flap downwards paper carrier roller incl. position mark sensor.
The printer mechanism is now open.
3. Blow forcefully into printer mechanism and onto position mark sensor, in order to remove coarse dust.

On principle the printer has to be kept dust-free.

4. Use a small brush to clean paper carrier roll, sensor and tear-off edge from dirt.
5. Soak Q-tip in isopropanol (IPA) and clean the print bar.
Other stubborn debris can also be removed with a Q-tip (IPA).

Never use sharp objects for cleaning. This might cause damage to the
print head.
Do not touch the print head. This might cause damage through
electrostatic charge.
