Ambient Capabilities

The ventilation system of the engine room must provide enough air in order to dissipate the heat of the Marine Engine Control Panel (MECP). The Marine Engine Control Panel contains the Programmable Logic Control (PLC), the PC Display, and the backup relays. The MECP can withstand an ambient temperature of 50°C (122°F).

The MECP meets the requirements of the Unmanned Marine Society's protection system.

If the ambient temperature raises above 50°C (122°F), an 157-1946 Air and Temperature Control Group should be added to the engine. A Custom Quote Request should be submitted at the time of ordering for the cooler.

Heat Rejection

The Marine Engine Control Panel emits approximately 100 watts of heat.

There should be good air flow around the MECP. This will ensure that the components in the MMS will have the optimum lifetime.

MECP Enclosure

The MECP enclosure meets the IP65 classification and the NEMA 4 classification.

Requirements For The Power Supply

The MECP requires a 24 volt DC power supply. The MECP contains two 10 ampere circuit breakers.

The power supply should be sized in order to handle 10 amperes on a continuous basis. The power supply should be able to handle up to 25 inrush amps.

The MMS and the governor are integrated as an Energize-To-Shutdown system. If the power supply is ever lost, the engine will still run. However, the engine protection is also lost. Follow the marine classification society's guidelines for providing backup power.

Grounding

The components of the MECP are grounded to the neutral side of the power supply.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The PLC that is inside the Marine Monitoring System meets the following EMC standards:

European Standard (Norm):

  • EN 50081-2EMC Generic Emission Standard Part 2 - Industrial Environment

  • EN 50082-2EMC Generic Immunity Standard Part 2 - Industrial Environment

United States:

  • NEMA Standard ICS 2-230 For Noise Immunity

Overspeed Shutdown Test

The MMS is equipped with two parallel engine overspeed devices. The two devices are the engine speed switch and the Programmable Logic Computer. The overspeed setpoint is 113 percent of the rated speed of the engine. For example, an engine that has a 900 rpm rating will have an overspeed setpoint of 1017 rpm. A magnetic pickup sensor is used in order to send a signal to the engine speed switch and the PLC. The frequency of the magnetic pickup sensor is based on the number of flywheel teeth. The equivalent frequency at 1017 rpm is 4322 Hz.

Note: On-site testing of the maximum approved engine overspeed is not recommended due to the use of non-Caterpillar input devices. Therefore, the engine overspeed should NOT be tested above 1050 rpm. The engine design has been approved by Marine classification societies. A demonstration of the engine overspeed's capability should not be required on-site.

Note: When you are simulating the engine speed in the following procedures, ensure that the fuel control switch on the MECP is in the ON position. After reaching the overspeed condition, the air shutoff will close. The air shutoff must be moved back to the normal operating position. The engine will not start when the air shutoff is closed. After an overspeed condition occurs, the "OFF/RESET" switch must also be switched to the RESET position before the engine will start.

Overspeed Test With The Engine's Rated Speed At 925 RPM Or Less

  1. Test the engine speed switch at 75 percent of the overspeed setting.

    1. While the engine is running, increase the engine speed above 75 percent of the overspeed setting. Alternately connect a signal generator to the engine speed switch in order to simulate engine speed. See Table 1 and Table 2 for speeds and frequencies.

    1. Press the 75 percent verify button of the engine speed switch. The engine will shut down. The overspeed's red light on the engine speed switch will turn on.

    1. Press the "RESET" button on the engine speed switch in order to allow the engine to start again.

  1. Test the engine speed switch and the PLC at the overspeed setting.

    1. While the engine is running, increase the engine speed to the overspeed setting. Once the engine is within 25 rpm of the overspeed setting, slowly raise the engine speed. This is done in order to determine the engine speed at shutdown. The PLC and the engine speed switch work in parallel. Either the PLC or the engine speed switch will shut down the engine in this test.

      Alternately connect a signal generator to the engine speed switch in order to simulate the engine speed. See Table 1 and Table 2 for speeds and frequencies.

    1. If the engine speed switch shuts down the engine due to an overspeed condition, the red light on the engine speed switch will illuminate.

      If this happens, press the "RESET" button on the engine speed switch in order to allow the engine to start again.

  1. Simulate the PLC overspeed test.

    1. Connect a frequency generator to the 115-7954 Transmitter at "TB301" and "TB302". As an alternative, you can also connect a 4-20 mA signal generator to the PLC analog input card 5 at the screw terminal "0+" and at terminal "1A" in order to simulate the engine speed. See Table 1 and Table 2 for speeds and frequencies.

    1. Increase the frequency or the signal generator's amperage until the overspeed setting is reached.

Overspeed Test With The Engine's Rated Speed At 926 RPM And Above

  1. Test the engine speed switch at 75 percent of the overspeed setting.

    1. While the engine is running, increase the engine speed above 75 percent of the overspeed setting. Alternately connect a signal generator to the engine speed switch in order to simulate engine speed. See Table 1 and Table 2 for speeds and frequencies.

    1. Press the 75 percent verify button of the engine speed switch. The engine will shut down. The overspeed's red light on the engine speed switch will turn on.

    1. Press the "RESET" button on the engine speed switch in order to allow the engine to start again.

  1. Simulate the PLC overspeed test.

    1. Connect a frequency generator to the 115-7954 Transmitter at "TB301" and "TB302". As an alternative, you can also connect a 4-20 mA signal generator to the PLC analog input card 5 at the screw terminal "0+" and at terminal "1A" in order to simulate the engine speed. See Table 1 and Table 2 for speeds and frequencies.

    1. Increase the frequency or the signal generator's amperage until the overspeed setting is reached.

Contactors

  1. Verify that there are no failures in the contactors' sensors on the display screen. This includes the oil pressure contactors and the crankcase pressure contactor.

  1. If any problems occur with the contactors, check all of the wiring from the MECP to the contactor. This check will find the majority of the problems that would exist. The most common problem is the interchanging of leads.

Thermocouples

  1. Verify that there are no failures in the thermocouples on the status screen of the PC display. Valid temperatures should be displayed for each exhaust port on the status screen. Select the button on the bottom right side of the status screen in order to display the exhaust manifold temperature and the stack temperature.

  1. Disconnect the exhaust manifold thermocouples one at a time. Verify that this creates a failure for the appropriate sensor. This verifies that the proper thermocouple is wired to the corresponding terminal block.

  1. If any problems occur with the thermocouples, check all of the wiring from the MECP to the sensor. This check will find the majority of the problems that would exist. The most common problem is the interchanging of leads.

Use the following checklist in order to check each thermocouple:

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 1

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 2

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 3

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 4

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 5

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 6

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 7

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 8

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 9

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 10

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 11

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 12

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 13

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 14

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 15

  • Thermocouple For Exhaust Port 16

  • Thermocouple For The Left Exhaust Manifold

  • Thermocouple For The Right Exhaust Manifold

  • Thermocouple For The Left Exhaust Stack

  • Thermocouple For The Right Exhaust Stack

Resistive Temperature Device (RTD)

  1. Verify that there are no failures in the RTD'S on the status screen of the PC display. Valid temperatures should be displayed for each RTD on the appropriate screens. Each RTD that follows should be displayed: Lube Oil Temperature, Inlet Manifold Air Temperature, Jacket Water Temperature 1, Jacket Water Temperature 2 and Aftercooler and Oil Cooler Water Temperature.

  1. Disconnect each RTD one at a time. Verify that this creates a failure for the appropriate sensor. This verifies that the proper RTD is wired to the corresponding terminal block.

  1. If any problems occur with the thermocouples, check all of the wiring from the MECP to the sensor. This check will find the majority of the problems that would exist. The most common problem is the interchanging of leads.

Use the following checklist in order to check each RTD:

  • RTD For The Lube Oil Temperature

  • RTD For The Inlet Manifold Air Temperature

  • RTD For The Jacket Water Temperature 1

  • RTD For The Jacket Water Temperature 2

  • RTD For The Aftercooler and Oil Cooler Water Temperature

Transducers

  1. Verify that there are no failures in the transducers on the status screen of the PC display. Valid pressures and engine speeds will not be displayed when the engine is not running. The pressures and speeds need to be measured while the engine is running. If this is not possible, there should be no failures for the 4-20 mA transducer sensors. However, small amounts of pressure may be indicated. If a pressure indication is present, it is fairly safe to assume that the transducers are operational. While the engine is running, valid pressures should be indicated on the PC display. Each of the pressures that follow should be verified:

    • Lube Oil To Engine

    • Lube Oil To Filter

    • Fuel To Engine

    • Fuel To Filter

    • Jacket Water

    • Aftercooler and Oil Cooler Water Pump

    • Sea Water

    • Starting Air Pressure

    • Check the engine speed for a valid signal on both the PC display and the gauge on the panel.

  1. The pressures should be able to be checked without removing the sensors in order to provide failures. A careful inspection of the transducers should provide a verification of the parameters. The parameters may be checked by looking at the engine overview, the cooling water piping diagram, the lube oil piping diagram, the air gauge, and the fuel gauge.

  1. If any problems occur with the transducers, check all of the wiring from the MECP to the sensor. This check will find the majority of the problems that would exist.

Use the following checklist in order to check each transducer:

  • Lube Oil To Engine

  • Lube Oil To Filter

  • Air Inlet Manifold

  • Fuel To Engine

Performance Testing

This procedure is used in order to verify the protection of the engine and the functionality of the engine.

Prelube/Start Test

  1. Turn the Engine Control Switch to the LOCAL position.

  1. Turn the Prelube/Start Switch to the PRELUBE position.

  1. The Prelube light should illuminate.

  1. Start the engine.

Local Emergency Stop Test

  1. Push the "E-Stop" button on the Marine Engine Control Panel.

  1. Check the PC display in order to verify that an Emergency Stop has been annunciated. The summary shutdown light should be illuminated. The engine should be shut down.

  1. Disengage the "E-Stop" switch. Turn the Engine Control Switch to the OFF/RESET position. The shutdown indicator should disappear.

Remote Emergency Stop Test

  1. While the engine is running, push the remote "E-Stop" button. The button is typically located on the vessel's bridge.

  1. Check the PC display in order to verify that an Emergency Stop has been annunciated. The summary shutdown light should be illuminated. The engine should be shut down.

  1. Remove the jumper wire. Turn the Engine Control Switch to the OFF/RESET position. The shutdown indicator should disappear.

Contactor Shutdown

  1. While the engine is running at idle speed, simulate low oil pressure at contactor 1. This should initiate a shutdown to the Marine Monitoring System. This should also activate the Low Oil Pressure Shutdown.

    Note: As another option, you can simulate running the engine by using a frequency generator. Refer to the ""Diagnostic Tools" " section for the recommendation.

    Note: You can simulate low oil pressure by shutting off the oil supply to the lube oil contactor on the 142-5916 Engine Protection Device or the 146-9438 Engine Protection Device . The Engine Protection Device is located on the front of the engine. The isolation valve can then be turned off. The drain cock can be opened in order to bleed off the oil.

  1. While the engine is running at rated speed, simulate low oil pressure at contactor 2. This should initiate a shutdown to the Marine Monitoring System. This should also activate the Low Oil Pressure Shutdown.

  1. While the engine is running, simulate low oil pressure to the crankcase contactor. This can be done by removing the hose from the dipstick port. Then blow into the hose. This should initiate a shutdown to the Marine Monitoring System. This should also activate the Low Oil Pressure Shutdown.

Programmable Logic Control Shutdowns

  1. While the engine is running at rated speed, simulate low oil pressure to the lube oil pressure transducer. This should initiate a shutdown to the Marine Monitoring System. This should also activate the Low Oil Pressure Shutdown.

  1. While the engine is running, simulate high temperature at the second RTD for the Jacket Water Temperature by heating the RTD in a hot water bath. This should initiate a shutdown to the Marine Monitoring System. This should also activate the High Jacket Water Temperature Alarm.

Programmable Logic Control Alarms

PLC alarms may be simulated by forcing the specific sensor into an alarm condition. For the oil pressure alarms, simulate a low pressure to the transducer. For the RTD'S or the Thermocouples, the sensor must be heated above the alarm's setpoint.

Redundant Backup System

  1. Repeat Step 1 in the ""Contactor Shutdowns" " section with both the PLC and the PC powered down. This will demonstrate the ability of the system to maintain minimal shutdown protection in the event of a PLC failure. The remaining Steps of the ""Contactor Shutdowns" " section may be completed if necessary.

  1. Repeat any of the previous performance tests while the PC is powered down in order to demonstrate the ability of the system to remain fully operational in the event of a PC failure. The only function of the PC is monitoring the activity, the status, and the data within the PLC. The loss of the PC only obstructs the viewing of the engine data.
