27. Human Machine Interface (HMI)
27.1 General
As standard human-machine interface, the integrated operator

terminal E-300 is employed, see the picture below, that contains
display and operation keys in one unit.
The E-300 operator terminal has as its task, the presentation of

process data as a supplement to the traditional instruments and
indicating lights. The terminal will also be used in order to
control special functions such as, for example, ReductionZone.
All calibration must be carried out from the operator terminal.
E-300 HMI Panel
As an option, a larger panel such as E900 can be delivered in the

Basic system.
7000 BASIC 27 - 3
27.1.1 System description
The operator terminal is connected to the PCU and is mounted on

the front door of the propulsion cabinet.
The operator terminal is an integrated unit with display,

numerical keyboard, function buttons and indicator lights.
With an operator terminal three important tasks may be carried

out.
• Presentation of process data
• Activation and installation of functions in the remote control
system
• Configuration of the system
27.1.1.1 Presentation of process data
The displays in the operator terminal are structured so that the

main page shows a range of process data for the whole system.
In order to display further information, reference is made to sub-

pages that present all available data regarding the selected
function or physical unit.
27.1.1.2 Activating and setting of functions in the remote control system
Some functions in the remote control system must be configured

and activated from the operator terminal. The advantage of this
is that it is possible to vary the way a function works in different
operating conditions.
27.1.1.3 Configuration of the system
The whole remote control system is configured from the operator

terminal, the relevant displays are then password protected.
27 - 4 7000 BASIC
27.1.2 Operation
27.1.2.1 General
The operator panel has built-in operating buttons that are used
and that have the following manner of operation:
The “list” button will bring up the alarm list
The “acknowledge” button will receipt active alarms
The “previous” button will og back to the previous page
The “main” button will bring up the main display
The “arrow keys” are used for moving the cursor in the display
The “backspace” button will delete the character that is in

front of the cursor in the display
The “enter” button will carry out the selected function, e.g.
accept a value that has been inserted or carry out a menue
choise
The “numerical” buttons are used for inserting values
7000 BASIC 27 - 5
The function buttons/LED indicators are used for

activating/indicating functions. The function buttons/LED
indicators may be permanently assigned to a function or they
may have a manner of operation that varies with each display
shown. The relevant manners of operation will then be presented
in the display.
The LED indicators are used to indicate functions. These are

permanently assigned and the function is shown in the
description in the field below.

The operator can then set the wanted reduction manually by

typing the value with the number keys and then accept the value
by pressing the “Enter” button. The load control in the system
will then take into account this amount of load reduction and
limit the maximum load of the engine with this amount of load,
hence a 10% Load Reduction set in this menu is equal to a
maximum load limitation of the engine to 90%. The control
system will not allow the load and the engine to exceed this limit.
• “Load Reduction Overrided”, shows if the function has been
overrided by a push button. This activation will then disable
this “Load Limitation” together with the “Rate Limiter” and
the “Load Reduction” from an external system. Hence
maximum load of the system is then available.

27.3.3.3 F3 – Load parameter menu
In order for the system to be able to load regulate the engine, the
following variables must be calibrated:
27 - 46 7000 BASIC
• ”Overload K Low” – This is the K value that is used to adjust

the propeller pitch speed in the area from ”Centerpoint” a) up
to 100 % load, see figure above. This value will form the shape
of the curve between a) and c). The value is stated as a figure
between 0 and 1, to 2 decimal points accuracy. A value of 0.5
will set a straight line, a value of 0.1 will set a steep curve from
the start in a) and a value of 0.9 will set a steep curve when
reaching the end point c)
• ”Overload K High” – This is the K value that is used to adjust
the propeller pitch speed in the area from Deadband Outer f)
to ”Extreme Overload” g), see figure above. The value is stated
as a figure between 0 and 1, to 2 decimal points accuracy. A
value of 0.5 will set a straight line, a value of 0.8 will set a steep
curve in the end when reaching g) and a value of 0.1 will set a
steep curve when starting from f).
• ”Centerpoint”- See figure above a), is a load point in percent,
stated to 2 decimal points accuracy. Load lower than this point
involves maximum propeller pitch speed. Load higher than
this point involves a propeller pitch speed calculated
according to ”Overload K Low”.
• ”Extreme Overload” – See figure above g) is a load point in
percent, stated to 2 decimal points accuracy. This point, as
well as ”Overload K High” determines the characteristics of
the propeller pitch speed at loads over 100%.
• ”Deadband Inner” – See figure above, between d) and e). This
deadband around 100 % will stop the Pitch corrections until
load is again outside this load deadband. The value is set in %
to two decimal points accuracy.
• ”Deadband Outer” – See figure above, between c) and d) and e)
and f). This deadband, that is greater than the inner deadband,
is used to hold a position without too many corrections. If the
Load is between these limits minimum speed is wanted in the
system in order to achieve a smooth regulation of the pitch
position around the maximum Pitch position. The value is set
in % to two decimal points accuracy.

starts. This value is given in seconds with no decimal.
• ”Knee” – This value sets the knee of pitch order in percent. The
knee states where the rate limiting/load acceptance function
starts. This value is set in percentage.
• ”TimeFromKneeToMax” – This value sets how long time the
order should use from knee point to 100 %. The value is given
in whole seconds.
• ”RateOfChangeReverse” – This value sets the rate of change of
the order when an offloading order is given, hence from Ahead

In the responsibility system buzzers and indicator lights are used

to show conditions in the system. Buzzers and indicator lights
must be set up with two different modes of operation.
• ”Normal” – This is the state that will give the normal frequency
for the buzzer and indicator light. The condition is defined by
two times – ”Ontime” and ”Offtime”. These times together
constitute a period. ”Ontime” states the active time while
”Offtime” states the inactive time. All times are stated in
multiples of 0.1 second. This flashing frequency is active under
normal resp shift
• ”Fast” – This condition will give a faster frequency for the
buzzer and indicator light than the ”Normal” state. The state is
defined by two times – ”Ontime” and ”Offtime”. These times
together constitute a period. ”Ontime” states the active time
while ”Offtime” states the inactive time. All times are stated in
multiples of 0.1 second. This flashing frequency is active under
a resp shift and both operator has acknowledged and one seek
equal order
• ”Buzzer Time” – This value states the time for which how long
the buzzer will sound when an emergency responsibility is
activated. The buzzer will then sound on all stations for as
long as the buzzer time is set. The time is stated in seconds.

“Control Failure Delay” – This timer is the setting for time period
from the start time of which the control failure is detected until
an alarm is set ON The alarm is set out to the alarm central after
this delay has expired. In order to detect a control failure, the
system must have been given a change in pitch order and sensed
no change in pitch feedback.
27 - 74 7000 BASIC
27.3.6.4.3 Set-up syncro timer
• “Syncro Control Failure” – This timer is the setting for time

period from the start time of which the syncro levers failure is
detected. In order to detect a syncro failure, the system must
detect a deviation between slave order and master feedback.
When the deviation is larger than the deadband for the syncro
levers and the lever is not responding, the syncro levers will
be disabled after the time period had expired. If then the
deviation again is detected as changing, the system will again
try to move the levers to the master order.

is being activated. The function is activated by the 100%
mechanical switch on the fuel rack. This to calculate the load
when the fuel pump is at the mechanical stop.
An addition of the step relative to the normal relative load is

being performed each time period, both calibrated, see below. A
subtraction of the same relative load and time period is
performed when the mechanically switch is set OFF.
• “Load Step” – This values is the setting for the increase of
estimated load when the function has been activated. The step
is stated in percentage relative load
• “Sample Time” – This value is the setting for time period
between each addition and subtraction of the relative load.
The value is stated in seconds and the accuracy is with one
decimal.
