Service & Operation Manuals

The training manual for the SBC500 which is a SBC, standing for the single-board computer running the application software of a process control system. It is providing numerous functions and user interfaces.

These are the main function blocks are central processor and serial lines, dual ethernet, PBUS and piggy-back card interfaces, digital input/output, redundancy control signals, alarm monitoring and watchdog, front indicators/controls.

The SBC500 is technically based on the MPC755 RISC processor with a built-in floating point unit (FPU) and running the real-time operating system VxWorks...

The DP Capability and Motion Prediction Analysis functions are used to analyse and predict operational margins for your vessel and the effects of single-point failures. The basis for the analyses is the PRESENT environmental conditions (relative to the vessel heading) specified by the operator.

Due to the cyclic nature of the analysis program, i.e. that the analysis is run automatically at preset intervals, you should evaluate the PRESENT environmental conditions regularly, and input new values if they have changed significantly. Be aware that: - All directions are to be specified relative to compass north (TRUE NORTH); - The sea current amplitude is "real" current and not "DP" current. Both the DP Capability Analysis and the Motion Prediction Analysis functions can be run in On-line or Off-line mode.

When On-line Running mode is selected, online DP variables are used to adjust the calculations. Analyses are performed cyclically (usually every five minutes), provided the system has first settled for at least 2.5 minutes in Auto Position mode and with statuses PRESENT HEADING and PRESENT POSITION. These statuses are indicated on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. When the above stated conditions are met. the operator can also start a new analysis at any time.

Here is the seventh release of the official operator's manual for the K-POS stand-alone simulator developed by the Kongsberg specialists, intended to provide all necessary info. The publication starts with the history of the document, followed with the general overview providing required introductory information about this system, its configuration and main functions.

Then the separate chapter comes containing the operating procedures. The last section of the paper is dealing with the simulator settings including the important technical restrictions, dialog box and noise settings of the simulator.

The content has been worked out intending as a reference for the K-POS operators. This manual commences with a concise Glossary of terms/abbreviations used throughout the paper plus in all relevant documents. This volume will provide system users with required theoretical background and the user interface.

It covers technical aspects of the K-POS, e.g. settings and calibration of the joystick, different messages including diagnostics, alarms and operational checks, sensors including VRS, speed, draught and rate-of-turn sensors, gyrocompasses, instructions on changing the setpoints of the ship's position and heading, controllers, thrusters, power systems etc.

This technical doc relates to the Kongsberg K-Thrust RCS system offering manual remote controlling of the electric propulsion and steering gears and thrusters. Combined with all capabilities of K-Pos DP, K-thrust system turns into a maneuvering system providing full range of the vessel handling functions, e.g. manual and auto piloting, and joystick control with the option of the auto heading, automatic station keeping.

The K-Thrust RCS concept covers a broad range of panes and controllers that could be arranged in literally any combination on the bridge, in the ECR and other locations, for the control of the propulsion, steering gear and thrusters. The hardware/software platform of K-Thrust RCS has been particularly adapted to be integrated with K-Pos. Navigation (K-Bridge) and vessel control (K-Chief) systems.

This KGW deck crane documentation pack covers the following - technical data, supplies, control, double crane operation, switchgear and sensors, programmable logic control, hardware, software, valve current generation, fault removal and fault announcement device, emergency operation, maintenance, wiring diagrams, spare parts lists for electric system.

As you can see, the documents provide all information that might ever be required for any crew member engaged in the operation of the subject cranes as well as to for the people conducting their routine and periodical technical maintenance and repair or part replacement.

These officially released Guidelines have been developed for the JO tankers and material presented therein is to be considered an accepted procedures for tank cleaning to water white standards. The methods of cleaning contained in this manual are after the mandatory tank pre-wash, as applicable.

Apart from the introductory section, this document addresses the miscellaneous aggressive cargoes in cargo tanks with epoxy coating, absorption/desorption of epoxy coating after such cargoes, tank cleaning procedures, cleaning tanks after vegetable or animal oil cargo, some special procedures etc.

A very good and useful informational booklet prepared and released by SKF Group, one of the world leaders in the industry. The content of the document was worked out to tell the readers what the INSOCOAT are and explain the customer value, describe all their technical benefits, and provide general technical information on the coating process, namely application of the plasma spraying, sources of electrical current, lubrication matters, electric current effects and electric behavior of INSOCOAT rolling bearings, impedance and capacitance, and description of the other SKF products. An excellent source of technical information about the INSOCOAT bearings.
