AA-0397-A
1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is generated through the configuration tool called
Seamate. The manual is therefore customised for each system
delivery.
The intention with this manual is to explain the functionality for
each mayor component and the total system as its configured
for each delivery.
How to operate the system is described in a manner where we
assume that the system is in operation and that normal
operations shall be carried out. This manual is not made for
advanced troubleshooting.
The manual contains five chapters

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Remote Control System Functional
Description
The Kongsberg Maritime C20 Marine Automation system
consists of, among others the AutoChief C20 Propulsion
Control System. Modular design allows flexibility in
configuring the system to individual requirements, covering the
whole range from standard propulsion configurations to highly
advanced twin or quadruple engine installations with high,
medium or low speed engines connected to reduction, reversing
gear or variable pitch propellers. This system may be a part of a
total integrated ship control system consisting of other sub.
Systems such as:
Alarm and monitoring system.
Auxiliary control system.
Power management system.
Ballast automation system.
HVAC (air conditioning).
Management support
The system is based on Kongsberg Maritime unified automation

concept, where each individual ship configuration is built up
using standard modules communicating on CAN- and local area
networks. The C20 system is configurable for all ship types.
The AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control System is designed for
remote control of the main engine from the combined telegraph
and manoeuvring lever in the wheelhouse. By moving this lever,
the system will automatically start, reverse, stop and speed-set
the main engine.

2.8 Remote control system functions

2.8.1 Start interlock
As long as any of the below mentioned conditions is active the
engine is inhibited for starting.
2.8.1.1 Start air pressure low
To secure a safe starting of the main engine a minimum starting

air pressure is required. The value for minimum starting air
pressure allowed is preset in parameters in the remote control
system. If the pressure is below this preset level Start Block is
activated.
2.8.1.2 Turning gear engaged
The turning gear is mechanically engaged to the flywheel. The

main engine is therefore inhibited from starting.
2.8.1.3 RPM detector failure
RPM monitoring is critical for starting and running of the

engine, so if the RPM measuring system is experiencing a
redundant detector failure the engine is inhibited for starting.
2.8.1.4 Safety Stop
Engine has tripped because of a shut down detected and created

by the safety system.
Details to be found in the alarm list on the Safety system mimic
pages.
2.8.1.5 Slow Turning Failed
Slow turning is intended to be performed within a pre-set time.

The engine is assumed to turn one complete revolution during
this time. If it fails to turn one revolution slow turning failed
will be announced.
2.8.1.6 Plant Interlock
The Plant interlock input may contain a various amount of start

interlocks, but it is not specified which signals to be
implemented, This is for the owner or shipyard to decide, If
however this input is active the actual items in the plant
interlock circuit has to be cancelled before a start can take place.
36
AA-0397-A
2.8.2 Start Failure

2.8.2.1 3 start attempts failed.
If the engine fails to run on the first start attempt, a total of 2

repeated starts will be performed by the control system. If three
start attempts are made and the engine didnt start the message
3 Start attempts Failed will be announced. To reset this
function the manoeuvre lever has to be set to Stop
2.8.2.2 Start time limit
When the engine shall be started its estimated that it shall reach
a certain rpm level just after fuel is supplied. If this rpm level is
not reached within a pre-defined time Start time limit will be
announced.
2.8.2.3 Brake time limit.
When the engine is running and the direction of rotation shall be

changed (reversed), the control system will brake the engines
rotation ahead by activating starting air for start in the opposite
direction. If, for any reason, the rpm does not reach a preset
level within the value defined in the Brake time limit the
brake air will be shut off, and Brake time limit will be
announced.
AA-0397-A
37
2.8.3 Alarms
2.8.3.1 Slow turning Failure
If it is detected a failure when or during the slow turning

sequence is active, this alarm will be announced.
2.8.3.2 Remote Control Fail
This indicates that there is observed a failure in the remote

control system. It normally detects failure on connected sensors
and deviating measurements on sensors which should read the
same value. Examples are the two charge air transmitters and the
two load indicator transmitters.
2.8.3.3 RCS Passive Fail
This indicates that a passive failure is detected, it monitors rpm

detectors, reversing valves, cut-off valve, start and stop valve.
2.8.3.4 All aux. blower Failure
Prior to start, at least one of the auxiliary blowers has to be in

operation. If no one has started because failure, the message
All Aux. blower failure will be announced. Start is
interlocked.
2.8.3.5 VIT Fail
This indicates that a failure is detected with one or two of the

VIT actuators. Normally the failures will be positioning failures
due to feedback measuring failures.
2.8.3.6 Speed Control Fail.
This indicates that the speed control unit is no longer able to

control the main engine speed.
38
AA-0397-A
2.8.4 Starting the main engine

The engine is started automatically in ahead (or astern) direction
from bridge (if the engine is prepared for start), simply by
setting the bridge handle from stop to any position in ahead (or
astern) direction
2.8.4.1 Cylinder pre/post lubrication
A cylinder pre-lubrication function is provided in the system. A

soft-key in the ACP mimic is provided for this function. This
soft-key activates a solenoid valve which allows the lubrication
oil pump to be driven by the crosshead bearing oil, this giving
cylinder pre-lubrication for an adjustable time (30 sec.). This
function can either be automatic together with slow turning, or it
can be manually initiated from the control room ACP.
2.8.4.2 Slow turning
If the engine has been stopped for a certain time (normally 30

minutes), the slow turning indicator lamp, Request Slow Turn
will be lit. This means the operator has to perform slow turning
prior to start of the main engine. This is done by activating the
slow turning soft-key in the Engine Modes mimic. When the
sequence is started the slow turning valve will be activated, and
a limited amount of starting air will be supplied to the main
engine, the engine will rotate slowly on starting air.
When one revolution is completed, the engine may be started
according to normal procedure. If one revolution with slow
turning is not accomplished within the correct time, the alarm
SLOW TURNING FAILURE is released in control room and
bridge.
AA-0397-A
39
2.8.4.3 Normal start
If start is not interlocked as listed above start of main engine is

activated when the manoeuvring lever is put out of stop position,
into any position in ahead or astern direction. The system will
open for start air by the Start Valve, and close the start air by
means of the Start Cut off Valve when the start speed is reached.
If the start attempt fails, the system will repeat the start sequence
two more times. Bye means of de-energizing the Start Cut Off
Valve. The additional start attempts will be carried out with
increased start set-point (heavy start), if all three start attempts
fails, 3 failed starts alarm will be activated.
2.8.4.4 Repeated start
If the engine fails to start (run on fuel) after the starting air is
switched off, the system will automatically try to restart the
engine. Indication for "repeated starts" will show on bridge and
ECR. If the second start also fails, the system will try once
more. After 3 starting attempts, 3 start failures alarm will be
released.
2.8.4.5 Starting failure
Starting failure is detected when one of the following conditions

occurs, and is indicated on ECR and Bridge ACP.
3 failed starts
Start time limit
Max slow turning time
"Start time limit" means engine is unable to reach the start-rpm
level within a specific time period.
Start failures are reset by setting the manoeuvring lever to stop

AA-0397-A
2.8.5 Speed limiters

For protecting the engine against thermal stress and destruction
some fixed RPM Limiters are included in the system.
2.8.5.1 Slow Down
RPM
A slow down is caused by a input signal detected by the slow

down module. If such a signal is detected, the safety system will
send a speed reduction request to the remote control system. The
speed set-point will after a pre-warning time is reduced to the
predefined slow down level.

prevent engine temperature from increasing too fast when higher
load is applied.
When MCR is obtained (in 45 minutes) the load up program
active indication will disappear.
The same function may also apply for the opposite purpose.
When reducing speed from Navigation Full to full ahead the
load down function is activated, slowly decreasing the speed to
allow the engine to cool down (normally 15-20 minutes).
If the bridge lever is set to a position below "full ahead" before
the load down program is finished, the program will
automatically be cancelled.

over-speed trip during rough sea conditions.
Selecting rough-sea mode is to be done from the ACP menu.
When rough sea mode is selected, and over-speed is detected,
the following sequence will take place.
When the engine speed reaches the over-speed level, the

fuel will be cut-off, the engine speed will decrease.
When the engine speed reaches reset level, fuel will be
supplied, and the engine will be running at this level.
To reset, move speed-set lever back to reset level and
move handle to desired RPM.
There is an upper speed limit for this function (adjustable). The

upper limit is provided to avoid fluctuation between over-speed,

2.8.7.3 Constant fuel mode
This function is used when the governor system is made by

another maker than Kongsberg Maritime AS
The RPM is continuously measured and when the RPM has
remained constant for a predefined time a signal hardwired to a
solenoid valve in the Governor system. The governor will then
lock the fuel actuator output to a fixed fuel index. When the
Fuel index is locked the RPM will fluctuate. Anyhow this
function is required in some cases i.e. when indicator diagrams
shall be made and similar. During this sequence the RPM is
continuously monitored and compared with a upper and lower
RPM deviation parameter. If the RPM fluctuates above or below
these limits, the fuel actuator output will be unlocked and the
RPM is governed back to the set-point requested from the
remote control system.
It is also limiters for which rpm areas this function may be used.
I.e. its not allowed in low rpm areas where the engine may stop
if the fuel amount is not controlled continuously or, in high rpm
areas where the engine may increase to over speed rpm level.

2.8.7.4 Shaft Generator control mode
When shaft generator (PTO) is provided an optional function in

the remote control system is available in order to avoid black out
during speed reduction and slow down.
An input signal from the main switchboard "shaft generator in
service" should be connected to the remote control system. The
remote control system will give out signal "request for diesel
generator starting & disconnection of shaft generator".
When shaft generator is connected to the switchboard, the
engine speed should be above a certain level. If the speed
command is ordered below the lowest working level for shaft
generator, from the bridge handle, or because of slow down, the
following sequence take place:
"RPM holding" indication in bridge and control room

ACP
Signal "request for diesel generator starting &
disconnection of shaft generator" will be given to the
main switchboard.
Speed will be kept at the shaft generator minimum
working level until signal "shaft generator in service"
goes off, or maximum 60 seconds (adjustable).
After the signal "shaft generator in service" extinguish,
the speed will be reduced to the required level (bridge
handle requirements or slow down level).
The same sequence applies when STOP or CRASH
MANOEUVRING order are given.
For shut down and emergency stop, the system will immediately
stop the engine, resulting in a black-out.

4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to keep the system in good working
order and what to do if the system fails.
The following subjects are covered:
Overview
Unit replacement
Preventive maintenance
Troubleshooting of all parts of the system
4.2 Overview
This maintenance chapter is intended for trained maintenance
technicians or engineers with experience of electronic and
digital circuits, computers and electro mechanical design. The
level of information is based on Kongsberg Maritime
maintenance philosophy: The onboard technical personnel shall,
with the help of the documentation and the systems built-in test
functions, be able to identify malfunctions, locate the fault, and
replace major parts, modules and components on a Line
Replaceable Unit (LRU) level. He/she will however not
attempt to repair the LRUs.
Note
Cleaning with abrasive material or strong chemical cleaning

solutions is not recommended as these may damage the system.
4.3 Unit replacement

Warning
Turn power off before replacing any parts!
Note
AutoChief C20 units are not field repairable. Any attempt will
void the warranty.
Package faulty units using the box from the replacement unit
and send it to Kongsberg Maritime for repair.
Refer to page NO TAG for information on how to get in touch with us.

4.4 Preventive maintenance
4.4.1 General
Kongsberg Maritime recommends the following preventive
maintenance routine for the AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control
system with process control and power management:
Weekly:
Clean all operator panels, and run the on-line lamp
and unit function tests. Clean all filters for units
equipped with fans.
3-Monthly: Check rpm pickups
6-Monthly: Check cables and cable entrances, electrical screwterminals, fuse connections and plug connections.
Yearly:
Check and if necessary calibrate the input sensors
and output actuators according to the
manufacturers instructions.
The Classification Societies and/or the Ships Maintenance Plan
(or Sites Maintenance Plan) should be referred to for obtaining
a recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system.
Kongsberg Maritime recommends that the operation of each unit
and its functions is checked after any major maintenance. By
major maintenance is understood the removing, testing,
calibrating and re-installing or replacement of pressure sensors,
temperature sensors etc. After this type of maintenance, we
recommend each unit to be re-commissioned according to the
instruction given in this manual.
AA-0397-A
121
4.4.2 Weekly maintenance

This maintenance routine applies to units equipped with lamp
and/or function test buttons. Pushing function test buttons will
not interrupt normal system operation.
AutoChief Control Panel (ACP), Lever Telegraph Unit (LTU),
Push-button Telegraph (PBT), Multiple Purpose Panel (MPP)
and the multiple Purpose display (MPD)
Each week do the following for each of these Units:
1
Clean the surface of the units. Wipe the surfaces with a

clean damp cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a clean, damp
cloth which has been dipped in a solution of a mild dish
detergent and water. Wring out firmly before wiping the
unit. Never use cleaning solutions containing spirit or
alcohol.
Push "LAMP TEST".

All LEDs should be lit for about five seconds.
if the test fails, refer to the trouble shooting section.
4.4.2.1 Distributed Processing Units
The distributed processing units do not require weekly

maintenance.
4.4.3 3-monthly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. For rpm pick-ups :
Remove dirt and check distance, while engine is stopped
4.4.4 6-monthly maintenance

Where applicable; check the following parts of the system each
6-month period:
122
Check cables and cable entrances for damage to the cable.
Tighten all electrical screw-terminals.
Tighten all plug connections.
AA-0397-A
4.4.5 Yearly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. Each year, check and
if necessary calibrate the input sensors and output actuators
according to the manufacturers instructions. In general, it is not
necessary to re-calibrate sensors if the input signal is correct.
Compare the input signal to this system, with the input signals
on other systems or local gauges.
Refer to the Classification Societies and/or the Ships
Maintenance Plan (or Sites Maintenance Plan) for obtaining a
recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system. The societies normally
recommend a 3-monthly to 6-monthly schedule.
