 PROPULSION ORDER TELEGRAPH
Propulsion Order Telegraph System
Series 8503-2000 Digital Servo Controllers are
used in conjunction with Type 5401-1100 control
heads to form a traditional lever style telegraph
system.
The propulsion telegraph system provides a means
of bi-directional communication between the
bridge and the engine room. This communication is
in the form of orders placed and acknowledged by
moving the command levers.
The system uses dual 24VDC inputs from ship’s
power supplies and serial communication with error
detection to ensure trouble free operation.
Relay outputs are provided for an order bell and a
wrong direction alarm.
Telegraph Orders
An order is placed by moving the lever at the bridge
station in command to the desired order. This causes
the reply pointers at all engine room stations to
move to the same position as the command lever on
the bridge.
Whenever the reply pointer and the lever at an in
command telegraph are not aligned, the external
bells sound, at both in command locations, to
indicate a new order.
Once the in command engine room lever is moved
to align with it’s own reply pointer, all bridge reply
pointers will follow up and align with the engine
room lever. All audible devices will silence. The
engine room can transmit orders to the bridge in the
same manner.
Multiple Station System
The propulsion telegraph system can operate from
multiple bridge and engine room stations.
When a ship has one bridge station and one engine
room station, both the bridge and engine room
station are always in command.
When a ship has more than one station in the bridge
and/or more than one station in the engine room
command transfer is required. Generally a
telegraph command transfer button is used to
transfer command.
The control transfer logic can be performed by the
Digital Servo Controller or via external logic (PLC,
relays, or control transfer boards).
Auxiliary Orders
Auxiliary telegraph orders such as Standby, Cancel
Standby and Finished With Engines can be
integrated into the lever telegraph. Auxiliary
telegraph orders can also be external pushbuttons.
Wrong Direction
An optional wrong direction alarm, with adjustable
time delay, is activated when the direction of
propulsion is not the same as the acknowledged
telegraph order. This feature advises the engineer
and captain when the machinery direction does not
match the acknowledged order or if the machinery
drifts to a direction other than the established
setting. Ahead, Stop and Astern are considered
distinct directions and are monitored by the wrong
direction circuitry.
When auxiliary telegraph orders are present on the
lever telegraph scale, wrong direction alarms are
disabled for any acknowledged auxiliary order.
When external push buttons are used for the
auxiliary telegraph orders, wrong direction alarms
are disabled for acknowledged Finished With
Engines and Bridge Control orders, but enabled for
Standby and Cancel Standby orders.
Pushbutton Telegraph Stations
Series 8202-1000 Push Button Telegraphs can be
connected to a Type 8503-2000 Digital Servo
Controller. The lever telegraph and the push button
telegraph communicate on the same network.
Command Position
Optional command signal transmitters can be
installed at the factory. These transmitters work
independently of the telegraph circuitry in the
Digital Servo Controller. Each transmitter has it's
own power supply with a self resetting internal fuse.
Even with a complete failure of other circuitry on
the Digital Servo Controller the transmitter will
continue to function properly.
Diagnostics
Troubleshooting guidance is provided by a
Watchdog LED and a Fault Code LED. Under
normal operating conditions the Watchdog LED
will flash.
The Fault Code LED flashes two digit codes which
correspond to particular fault conditions. A fault
relay opens on a general system fault.
