Thruster monitoring and control panel PCS
Praxis Automation Technology
The Mega-Guard Propulsion Control System (PCS) fully automates the remote control on the bridge from the main propulsion engines, gearboxes and fixed or controllable pitch propellers. The Propulsion Control System fulfills the rules of the classification societies and includes remote control, engine safety, RPM/Pitch indication, telegraph and electronic governor. The reliable Operator Panels on the bridge, the control room and on the local control stand are easy to operate and to install. Features The Mega-Guard Propulsion Control System supports the following propulsion configurations: Propulsion configuration The Mega-Guard PCS receives orders from the combined Manoeuvring/Telegraph Lever on the bridge and control room. The remote control system activates starting, stopping and reversing mechanisms and gives a thrust (speed or pitch) setpoint. Steerable thrusters (azimuth control) are also supported by the Mega-Guard PCS. The Mega-Guard Propulsion Control System includes frequency controlled electronic drive systems for electric propulsion motors up to 3000kW at 690Vac as well.
