Design of Control Console for Vessel Integrated Power Propulsion Subsystem

Abstract:

This The integrated power system (IPS) to be used in future ships will be a big leap in the building of ship power platforms, representing the prospective direction of in the development of ship power systems. A centralized control console with PLC(Programmable Logic Control) and touch screen has been designed for the propulsion subsystem of the vessel integrated power system. The centralized control console is mainly used to monitor the operations of the propulsion motor and propulsion inverter and to make remote control communications with the propulsion display and control console of energy management. This paper has made a detailed description of its hardware, software and communication, and given full account of the PLC program as well as the process of the start-up, speed regulation and shutdown performed by the propulsion subsystem under local or remote control. The site tests prove that the designed centralized control console can effectively monitor the running conditions of the propulsion subsystem and improve the digitalization, intelligent capability, stability and reliability of the vessel integrated power system, which will be of reference value to the research on ship automatic management and long-distance monitoring.
