1 Technical Description

Application
The DCM Module (1/2) is an electronic module, which
reads, processes outputs control signals . Generally it
is applied for the following system applications:
D Path--dependent control of SCHOTTEL systems

D Speed setting of driving motors

Path--dependent control of SCHOTTEL systems

Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic view of the application
of the DCM Module for the control of SCHOTTEL
systems (1/4). 1
D In case of the path--dependent control, the DCM
Module compares the current setting on the
steering stand (1/1) with the current feed--back
(1/5). The differential value from setting and
feed--back is calculated by the DCM Module and
transmitted to the amplifier unit (1/3) (e.g. DPV
Module). 2

D Depending on the differential value transmitted

from the DCM Module, the amplifier unit controls
the SCHOTTEL system until the feed--back value
matches the value of the setting (differential value
= 0).

3
Path--dependent speed setting
Also with the path--depending speed setting, a set
value from the steering stand is read--in into the DCM
Module. According to the read--in set value, the DCM
Module provides an output signal.

Further applications
The path--dependent control of SCHOTTEL systems 4
and the path--dependent speed setting are appli--
cations, which are taken into consideration in this
document.
Further applications of the DCM Module are described
in the according construction information.

In trouble free condition, the LED’s PWR and RUN
shine, and depending on the operational situation the
LED’s IN 0 ... IN 3, OUT 0 ... OUT 3, or SF 1 or SF 2.

Operating mode switch

The operating switch (4/3) is used to set the operating
mode ON and LD. With operating mode LD the DCM
Module is fitted with up--dated software.
During utilization of the ship, the switch must always be
in position ON.

System diagnosis
Via the interfaces (4/1) and (4/2), a SCHOTTEL Service Figure 4
engineer is always able to do a quick hardware
diagnosis.

en STD--Ka Operating Instructions DCM Module 2.x 07/1384 1162900 7 / 31

Software configuration
According to the use, the DCM Module is programmed
ex works with a system software. The system software
is decisive for the application (path--dependent control,
path--dependent speed setting, etc.). For transmitting
the system software onto the DPV Module, the
operating mode switch (5/4) must be in position LD.
During operation, the operating mode switch must
always be in position ON.
Hardware configuration
With a defect of one DCM Module, an according spare
module can be replaced in the SCHOTTEL electric
systems without much efforts by professional
personnel. Because of the various application
possibilities, it is required to observe the Ident No. of the
DCM Module. The hardware of the DCM Module first is
to be specifically configured for the according
application, and thereafter to be mounted and
application--specific installed.
For configuration, the DCM Module has to be taken out
of the housing beforehand. Then, on the boards on the
left--hand side (5/12) are adjusted the DIL switches
(5/13) and the CAN load resistance (5/3). On both
boards the jumpers have to be inserted according to
application.
The left--side board (5/12) has 8 jumper consoles, the
right--side board (5/11) has 14 jumper consoles. In case
of the jumper consoles with 2 sockets (5/1) one jumper
might be inserted or not. In case of the jumper consoles
with 3 sockets (5/2), the jumper on the bridges 1, 2, or
on the bridges 2, 3 might be inserted or not. The socket
identification 1, 2, 3 (5/9) is printed on the boards.
The overview of the jumper configurations J1 to J12
can be found on page 10.
With the DIL switches (5/13) are activated those
functions, which are required for adaptation to the
SCHOTTEL system.
During installation, the housing of the DCM Module is
mounted onto the mounting rail. During the electric
installation, the contact connector strips (5/6) can be
pulled out of a defective module and then can be
pushed into an exchange module.

Analog input signals
The DCM Module can be approached with analog input
signals (0 ... 10 V or 0 ... 20 mA) – depending on the
jumper configuration.
Both inputs are optionally adjustable with the
potentiometers AI3 and AI4.
Analog output signals
By standard, in case of SCHOTTEL systems, the
analog output signal 0 ... 10 V is put onto a buffer
amplifier (5/3). Over the buffer amplifier, the according
component is approached with an output signal from 4
mA up to 20 mA.
Optionally, the DCM Module as analog output signal
can also transmit an electric signal from 4 to 20 mA,
depending on the configuration of the jumpers.
Alarm relay
The DCM-- Module is fitted with an alarm relay, of which
the potential--free make--contact is available at the
contact connector strips, and normally is used for
changing from path--dependent to time--dependent
operation, if the DCM Module is no longer ready for
operation. Furthermore, a message is transmitted via
the make--contact to the ship’s warning system.
Battery
The DCM Module is fitted with a battery (5/10) for
saving date and hour. The battery is of no influence on
the system software. The battery cannot be replaced.

 Functional check of path--dependent control
i INFORMATION
When using the DCM Module (10/5) for the
path--dependent control, no other settings are required
after configuration and installation are carried out. After
switch--on of the entire system, the DCM Module
approaches the amplifier unit (10/3) after changing the
path--dependent thrust direction on the default unit
(10/2). The propulsion units (10/4) for setting the
path--dependent control are approached by the
amplifier unit until the set value and feed--back value
are identical.
If setting and feed--back devices (10/1) are fitted with
CAN sensors as shown in Figure 10, in case of need,
these can be parameterized via the DCM Module, see

i INFORMATION

For the perfect function of the DCM Module the

following basic prerequisites must be met:

1. The operating mode switch (17/1) must be in pos.

ON.

2. For the specific application, all jumpers must be
put onto the according pins, see pos. 1 in Figure 6,
page 11.

3. All DIL switches must be set for the specific

application, see pos. 3 in Figure 6, page 11. 2

4. The load resistance must be in pos. ON if the

module is the last device in the CAN loop. Within
the CAN loop, the load resistance of all modules
must be on OFF, see pos. 2 in Figure 6, page 11
and Figure 12 page 17.

With absence of one of the basic prerequisites, the

DCM Module is not ready for operation. Figure 17
