Audio Visual Alarm Panel for Engine Safety
Audio Visual Alarm Panels for engine safety is a proven product
of Power Control Engineers. These panels are used for applications
- Main
Propulsion Engines,
Diesel Generating Sets & Fire Fighting Pumps.
These
panels are designed, developed, manufactured and installed by Power Control
Engineers. Number of alarms and trips are as per application & customer
specific.
Repeat alarm logic is used for all faults. That is, if one fault is active
and the other fault occurs, alarm will be sounded for the other fault with
the indication.
-
Type I : Conventional
Panel with contactor logic
This panel has the conventional logic of contactors and relays. Alarms and
trips are generated from the safety switches mounted on the engine. Indicating
Lamps / Annunciation windows are used for the indications of various faults.
All the alarms and trips have a separate indication.
-
Type II : Microcontroller
based Panel
This panel uses Microcontroller based control cards developed inhouse by Power
Control Engineers. The sensors used are of Analog type such as 4 to 20 mA
transmitters. These transmitters are directly connected to the control card
of the Panel. Instrumentation of various parameters is generated from the
same transmitters. Analog gauges are used to display the various parameters.
Different transmitters and switches are used to generate alarm and trip faults.
Indicating Lamps / Annunciation windows are used for the indications of various
faults. All the alarms and trips have a separate indication.
-
Type III : PLC
base Panel
Control system is based on modular PLC with an Operator panel (HMI), approved
by most of the Classification Societies. Software for PLC and HMI is developed
by Power Control Engineers. The sensors used are of Analog type such as 4
to 20 mA transmitters. These transmitters are directly connected to the PLC
in the Panel. Instrumentation of various parameters is generated from the
same transmitters. All the parameters and the faults are displayed on the
HMI. Events can be logged in the panel as a standard feature.
Different transmitters and switches are used to generate alarm and trip faults.
Advanced data logging and trending of parameters is easily possible with this
type of control system.
