CETCME VIR20-S Main Engine Remote Control System

Category: Tag:

CETCME VIR20-S Main Engine Remote Control System It is designed to control ship power plants at a distance from the wheelhouse and the central control post (CPU). The system provides automatic execution of operator commands and includes a full set of functions for condition monitoring, overload protection and fault diagnostics, which significantly increases the average engine uptime (MTBF) and extends its service life.

Key features and Functions:

  • Flexible configuration: support for an electric or electropneumatic system adapted for engines with or without reverse gear, including geared systems.
  • Multi-level protection: includes protection functions against mechanical and thermal overload, automatic speed reduction or emergency stop in case of failures, as well as self-protection in case of power loss or air pressure.
  • High reliabilityFeatures: dual backup power, anti-interference protection, fault diagnosis of sensor lines and use of high-quality components.
  • Easy operationFeatures: 7-inch LCD screen with intuitive interface and control wheel for setting parameters.
  • Optimize your fuel economy: the system collects fuel consumption data and recommends the optimal economic speed of the vessel.
  • Emergency manual operation: possibility to manually control the engine from the local control station.
