4. External Control Systems
4.1 Communication between ECS and External Systems
The Diesel Engine CoNtrol and OptImizing Specification (DENIS) and the engine
control system (ECS) are designed so that different remote controls can be used. All
nodes are fully specified. The terminal boxes are installed on the engine, to which the
cable ends from the control room or from the bridge can be connected.
The engine control has all the parts necessary to operate and monitor the engine, and
for the safety of the engine.
The ECS supplies the data communications to:
D The propulsion control system (PCS)
D The alarm and monitoring system (AMS).
The standard version of ECS includes the external communications that follow:
D Two redundant CANBus lines to the PCS (one CANBus connection to MCM-11
and one connection to the LDU-20 in the terminal box E25, see Fig. 2).
D Two redundant Modbus lines to the AMS (one Modbus connection to MCM−11
and one connection to the LDU−20 in the terminal box E25, see Fig. 2).
For the schematic diagrams, see Fig. 2 and Fig. 10.
Note: The communications between the systems can be different. See the
related documentation from the approved propulsion control system
manufacturer.
4.2 Propulsion Control System
The propulsion control system (PCS) has the subsystems that follow (see Fig. 10):
D Remote control system (RCS)
D Engine safety system (ESS)
D Telegraph system.
Note: The ESS and telegraph systems operate independently and are fully
serviceable if the RCS is defective.
