Engine Control System Interface to Surrounding Systems
To support the navigator, the vessels are equip­
ped with a ship control system, which includes
subsystems to supervise and protect the main
propulsion engine.
The monitoring systems and instrumentation are
explained in detail in Chapter 18.
Alarm system
The alarm system has no direct effect on the En­
gine Control System (ECS). The alarm alerts the
operator of an abnormal condition.
The alarm system is an independent system, in
general covering more than the main engine itself,
and its task is to monitor the service condition
and to activate the alarms if a normal service limit
is exceeded.
The signals from the alarm sensors can be used
for the slow down function as well as for remote
indication.
Slow down system
The engine safety system is an independent sys­
tem with its respective sensors on the main en­
gine, fulfilling the requirements of the respective
classification society and MAN Diesel.
Safety system
The engine safety system is an independent sys­
tem with its respective sensors on the main en­
gine, fulfilling the requirements of the respective
classification society and MAN Diesel.
If a critical value is reached for one of the meas­
uring points, the input signal from the safety
system must cause either a cancellable or a
noncancellable shut down signal to the ECS.
The safety system is included as standard in the
extent of delivery.

For the safety system, a combined shut down
and slow down panel approved by MAN Diesel
is available as an option in the Extent of Delivery,
e.g.:
4 75 610a Lyngsø Marine
4 75 610b Kongsberg Maritime
4 75 610c Nabtesco
4 75 610d Siemens
4 75 610f Mitsui Zosen Systems Research.
Where separate shut down and slow down panels
are installed only panels approved by MAN Diesel
must be used.
In any case, the remote control system and the
safety system (shut down and slow down panel)
must be compatible.
Telegraph system
The telegraph system is an independent system.
This system enables the navigator to transfer the
commands of engine speed and direction of rota­
tion from the Bridge, the engine control room or
the Engine Side Console (ESC).
Remote Control system
The remote control system normally has two alter­
native control stations:
• the Bridge Control console
• the Engine Control Room console
The remote control system is to be delivered by a
supplier approved by MAN Diesel.

As an option in the Extent of Delivery, a bridge
control system from suppliers approved by MAN
Diesel is available:
• for Fixed Pitch propeller plants, e.g.:
4 95 601 Lyngsø Marine
4 95 606 Siemens
4 95 607 Nabtesco
4 95 608 Mitsui Zosen Systems Research
4 95 615 Kongsberg Maritime
• and for Controllable Pitch propeller plants, e.g.:
4 95 604 Lyngsø Marine
4 95 916 Kongsberg Maritime
4 95 619 MAN Diesel Alphatronic.
Power Management system
The system handles the supply of electrical power
onboard, i.e. the starting and stopping of the gen­
erating sets as well as the activation / deactivation
of the main engine Shaft Generator (SG), if fitted.
The normal function involves starting, synchro­
nising, phasingin, transfer of electrical load and
stopping of the generators based on the electrical
load of the grid on board.
The activation / deactivation of the SG is to be
done within the engine speed range which fulfils
the specified limits of the electrical frequency.

Auxiliary equipment system
The input signals for ‘Auxiliary system ready’ are
given partly based on the status for:
• fuel oil system
• lube oil system
• cooling water systems
and partly from the ECS itself:
• turning gear disengaged
• main starting valve in ‘service position’
• control air valve for air spring ‘open’
• auxiliary blowers running
• control air valve ‘open’
• safety air valve ‘open’
• governor ‘in control’
• valve for starting air distributor ‘open’.
Engine monitoring
In order to assist the engineer in runnning the
diesel engine at its optimum performance, a MAN
Diesel’s PMI system, type PT/S off-line or on-line
could be applied as an option.
The MAN Diesel’s PMI system, type PT/S off-line
monitors engine parameters such as:
• cylinder pressure
• fuel oil injection pressure
• scavenge air pressure
• engine speed.
This and other engine monitoring systems are fur­
ther explained in Chapter 18 in this Project Guide.
Instrumentation
Chapter 18 includes lists of instrumentation for:
• The CoCos-EDS on-line system
• The class requirements and MAN Diesel’s re­
quirements for alarms, slow down and shut down
for Unattended Machinery Spaces.
