Control and monitoring systems

The high reliability of digital communication improves the information flow from the devices and additional electrical measurement equipment can be removed. Where energy storage solutions or other alternative power sources are installed onboard, engine loading is optimized to suit.

Provide optimum control for the ABB Azipod® with RCS, providing operator guidance. Intelligent Maneuvering Interface gives water flow indication, and actual and reference angle for the Azipod®

PCS provides full supervision and oversight over ABB electric propulsion systems - adjusted for each vessel type.

Seamless communication with other onboard ABB systems ensures a common alarm and time domain with a faster control response.

Protects against fault situations that could lead to cascade faults and result in blackout. DGMS provides enhanced protection for AC power plants operating with a closed bus.

Ensures optimal operations by providing control of speed and power of the thruster motors. The ABB Thruster Control System is a scalable solution with distributed control that consumes less space on the bridge.
