Advance Information 2009
MCMS Features
Functions:
The Mega-Guard Machinery Monitoring and
Control System is the perfect automation
solution for medium to large size vessels.
It can be used as a stand-alone Machinery
Control and Monitoring System or the
Mega-Guard can be extended with Power
Management, Cargo Control, Propulsion
Control, Integrated Navigation and Dynamic
Positioning functions.
The Mega-Guard Ship Automation System is
the most reliable and field proven automation
system as can be found on the market because
of the following facts:
Operator Workstations built-up with Marine
Personal Computers under Windows XP
embedded operating system and redundant
Ethernet link. Solid state disk is applied
instead of hard disk. Main and Back-up
Workstation to further ensure safety and
reliability
Distributed Processing Units built-up with
Control Processors equipped with
I/O Module and redundant Ethernet link.
Each I/O Modules has its own isolated sensor
supply and earth fault detector.
Extension Alarm System is built-up with
EAS Operator Panels equipped with a
graphic LCD display and 12 illuminated
pushbuttons with redundant Ethernet link.
Operator Workstation with Color Graphic Screen and
user-friendly Operator Keyboard with Trackball
Whole system inter-connected by redundant Ethernet link. Cabling with Star topology or Ring topology or a combination
of Star and Ring topology.
Whole system operating directly on 19-32VDC power supply and all components have low power consumption.
Uninterruptable Power Supply providing fail safe 24VDC output.
Programming in accordance with international PLC programming standard IEC61131-3 (ST).
Type approved by all major class classification societies.
Operator Workstations:
An Operator Workstation consists out of a TFT colour graphic screen, Operator Keyboard with Trackball, Marine Personal
Computer and optional Printer. The Operator Workstation provides a reliable and user-friendly operator interface to ensure
safe operation. The Operator Workstations are connected to each other via the redundant Ethernet link based upon
UTP cabling. Two Operator Workstations, called the Main Server and the Back-up Server, are communicating via the
redundant Ethernet link with the Control Processor with I/O Modules (Distributed Processing Units) and to the Extension
Alarm System. This ensures a full redundant lay-out. Client Operator Workstations communicate with either the Main Server
or Back-up Server Operator Workstation via the redundant Ethernet link. The On Duty Selection and Engineer Calling
functions are fully redundant as upon failure of an Operator Workstation, the extension alarm system functions are
automatically transferred to a back-up Operator Workstation.

Control Processors with I/O Modules (also called DPU) are mounted on a DIN rail; close to sensors
and actuators to minimize cabling. The Control Processor is connected to the redundant Ethernet
link for communication with the Main and Back-up Server Operator Workstations and for
communication with other Control Processors. Each I/O channel on an I/O Module has a LED
indication and a channel identification text window. This can be used for back-up and local read-out
of alarms and status. Each I/O Module is equipped with an isolated sensor supply in order to feed
sensors. In addition, the I/O Module contains an earth fault detector. A Control Processor with
I/O Modules fully executes control, alarm and monitoring functions even when no Operator
Workstation is connected. Programming of control functions is done via the programming language
PAL1131 which is in accordance with international PLC standard IEC61131-3 (ST).
Sensors and actuators are directly wired to the detachable terminal strips on the I/O Modules.
