Test procedure: AMS Handling of Engine Process Values.

Applicable to MAN/ES 2 stroke ME engines with Triton and MPC controllers.

MAN-ES strongly recommend performing below test to verify that AMS will react
according to design in case no information is received from EMS.
The test is to verify that AMS will not raise alarm, slowdown or shutdown based on
missing EMS data. It is done by disrupting the EMS-AMS Modbus.

The data flow is as shown below with the red line.

Figure 1 Data flow: ECS MOP-B ->EMS MOP -> AMS

In case ECS MOP-B, EMS MOP, managed switch or any of the network cables fail, the
data flow will be interrupted. EMS-AMS Modbus will send “+32767” signifying #Bad
Value for affected Modbus registers; however, they must not result in Out of Range
Alarms (OoR) in AMS.

Test steps:
At a convenient and safe location while operating Engine at low load, but above
slowdown limit:
1. Conduct following tests separately followed by Verification steps 2.1-3:
1.1. disconnect LAN cable 󠆯from port / MOP-B
1.2. disconnect LAN cable from port / PMI DAU
1.3. Power off the EMS computer
2. Confirm that:
2.1. no slowdown or shutdown is requested/activated by AMS
2.2. no alarms – Process value, OoR or any other type alarms are raised in AMS.
Only Acceptable AMS Alarm is one for EMS communication loss.
2.3. values missing in AMS monitoring are indicated:
As missing such as “---“, “N/A”, 󠆯“OoR” 󠆯etc. 󠆯
Not 󠆯as 󠆯physical 󠆯values 󠆯such 󠆯as 󠆯“3276.7 󠆯°C”, 󠆯“327.67 󠆯bar” 󠆯or 󠆯“327.7 󠆯g/kWh” 󠆯etc.

In case above test cause slowdown or shutdown, it is an indication that AMS is not
configured correctly. If assistance from MAN-ES is needed in this respect, please
contact MAN-ES at: OperationControlandElectronics2S@man-es.com
