Propulsion Control System upgradation

THRUSCON PPC X00 Propulsion Control System upgrades
By Akshay Controls & Systems Pvt Ltd.

When you are challenged obsolete CPP /Thruster /Tunnel Thruster / Azimuth Thruster controls and no OEM Support, / High lead time / too expensive…

We, ACSPL can help you, It does not matter which make or model or age. A very cost effective, comprehensive solution for hardware, software, commissioning, and after sales support. We can take up the project and execute under class approval. When we do redesigning / retrofitting of control system, we are maintaining existing controls logic, operation sequence, field devices and its cabling, mechanical parts of the original system and hence system performance will remain unchanged. We are installing a new Programmable Fieldbus Controller belonging to the robust WAGO 750 series controller/750 XTR Controller System, which has most of the marine class approvals. Our retrofit solutions are compatible to most of the Popular Brands like Rolls Roy’s, Ulstein / Kongsberg /Wartsila / Berg Propulsion / Lingo Marine , Jastram, tenfjord etc etc.

Systems for azimuth thrusters, tunnel thrusters, auxiliary thrusters and shaft line propulsion can all be upgraded to AI THRUSCON PPC 300

All upgrades are tailored to customer requirements and compatible to existing actuator, feed back unit, cable, maneuvering lever and other discrete filed devices but with new electronic modules, touch screens and very user friendly mimic diagram, software all required parameters displayed in a single monitor, while being cost effective , lower lead time conversion time.

Guaranteed after sales local support at Mumbai / Vizag / Kochi

The system is able to switch automatically between normal and back-up control (both are follow-up control systems) in order to provide redundancy. This can also be performed manually. In addition, analogue indicators are fed through a separate independent loop driven from the back-up element of the control system. This provides a independent redundant indication system. Indicators with illuminated scale (96x96mm) are available for the bridge desk or in overhead consoles

Cost optimization

AI HELICON THRUSCON PPC 300 concept allows significant reductions in cost and time for installations compared with traditional solutions. These savings result from:

Extensive cabling reductions
Reduced man-hours for engineering, installation, commissioning and documentation
Standard hardware components, provides reduced life-cycle-costs With different functions applied on the same standard hardware platforms, the amount of on-board spare parts can be reduced and savings made. In addition, excellent maintainability and simple upgrading solutions reduces overall life cycle costs.

Type approval and class society

AI HELICON THRUSCON PPC 300 design to meet complies with the requirements of IMO and classification societies.

Complete bill of material used for the AI Helicon X PPC 300 is marine approved
