Fig. 5.18.07: MAN Alphatronic 2000 Propulsion Control System
MAN Alphatronic 2000 Propulsion Control
System
MAN Diesel & Turbo’s MAN Alphatronic 2000 Pro-
pulsion Control System (PCS) is designed for con-
trol of propulsion plants based on diesel engines
with CP propellers. The plant could for instance
include tunnel gear with PTO/PTI, PTO gear, mul-
tiple engines on one gearbox as well as multiple
propeller plants.
As shown in Fig. 5.18.07, the propulsion control
system comprises a computer controlled system
with interconnections between control stations via
a redundant bus and a hard wired backup control
system for direct pitch control at constant shaft
speed.
The computer controlled system contains func-
tions for:
• Machinery control of engine start/stop, engine
load limits and possible gear clutches.
• Thrust control with optimization of propeller
pitch and shaft speed. Selection of combina-
tor, constant speed or separate thrust mode is
possible. The rates of changes are controlled to
ensure smooth manoeuvres and avoidance of
propeller cavitation.
• A Load control function protects the engine
against overload. The load control function con-
tains a scavenge air smoke limiter, a load pro-
gramme for avoidance of high thermal stresses
in the engine, an automatic load reduction and
an engineer controlled limitation of maximum
load.
• Functions for transfer of responsibility be-
tween the local control stand, engine control
room and control locations on the bridge are
incorporated in the system.
