Module 1. PLC s and associated control Systems
Course Objective
Microcontrollers and PLCs are come to stay in Marine Engineering, But our awareness of
these "Black Boxes" are at a level we cannot even identify or differentiate between a
microcontroller and a PLC.
Inverters or VFDs or AC Drives are coming in a very big way into marine engineering,
probably pushed by EEDI / SEEMP. We would soon see VFDs replacing variable delivery pumps and
such complex hydraulics.
The term Encoders is alien to many of us, with limited scope of its application as crank
angle sensors or tacho system in the modern electronic engines. Being the heart of an electronic
engine and being employed in many VFDs for motor rotor rpm / flux sensing, it is worthwhile
knowing more of this critical component.
1. Microcontrollers/PLC/HMI/POD
2. VFD/AC Drives/Inverters
3. Position Sensing Encoders

Module 2. Marine instrumentation and Control Engineering

Course Objective
Today's ships are controlled by DCS systems, incorporating Bridge, Cargo and Machinery
systems into one entity, the highest form of control system today. Have slowly watched the
evolution over thirty years at sea, from (1) Remote indication of parameters in ECR by bourden
Gauges with Cu piping running to measuring point, to (2) Remote indication of parameters in ECR
by 4-20 mA Meters with two wires running to measuring point Transmitter, to (3) AMS (Alarm
Monitoring System) based on cards but still hard wired, to (4) SCADA (Supervisory Control And
Data Acquisition) where RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) and communication cables took over data
transmission, to the latest (5) DCS (Distributed Control System).
Communication is the back bone of today’s systems including Electronic Engines. Our
awareness of communication systems is to be at least brought to a level that at least we can talk of
Protocols, Standards, Cables and Connectors widely used in these systems.

Module 3. Ship's power generation, distribution, alternators

parallel running, Induction motors and starters
Course Objective
From the days where DGs would be first cranked by hand with and oil man pumping the
land pump, then a blow through with indicator cocks open, a through round and checks of all
systems prior cranking to finally start on fuel, a five minute round will follow after the start to
check all are normal. It was a whole procedure involving more than one man.
 Today we just click a mouse on a SCADA page component and turn to other jobs, the
generator starts, comes on load and shares the load equally. And it stops too if the load is below a
threshold.
The concept of Speed Droop, Voltage Droop, Need for synchronization, KVAr and KW
adjustments all have become a hazy jumble of ideas.
Motor starters have become so advanced, soft starters & VFD are ruling and we have lost
touch with the so called Squirrel Cage Induction Motor, checks on same, its maintenance, etc.
This is a module meant to recap all fundamentals on which all automation are still based.

Module 4. Intro to Marine Electronic Engines

Course Objective
Electronic engines are a nightmare for EL/O, primarily as there is little documentation as
to what all happens between the CCUs, EICUs, ECUs, MOPs and Tacho System, Its just working
some how all put together, am referring only to the electronic control part.
This module hopes to throw some light on the unknown.

19. Marine Electronic Engines

Module 5. Basic, and Modern, Ref & AC Control systems

Course Objective
What caught my attention on joining sea in 1987 was a "Contact Gauge" on the AC System.
This was just a huge suction pressure gauge but had a contact which would make at an adjustable
pressure. This was the LP Cut Out.
Today you have PLC controlled AC Compressor systems with no LP/HP/Low LO/Capacity
control pressure switches, etc. You'd see none of these, only three pressure transmitters, one for
LO discharge pressure, one for ref suction pressure and one for ref discharge pressure. The
remaining is all a black box !
EEVs are here to stay as they provide better and more responsive control. How do they
function and what all types are there ?
This module hopes to dwell a little deep into modern AC Control Systems
