1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is generated through the configuration tool called
Seamate. The manual is therefore customised for each system
delivery.
The intention with this manual is to explain the functionality for
each mayor component and the total system as its configured
for each delivery.
How to operate the system is described in a manner where we
assume that the system is in operation and that normal
operations shall be carried out. This manual is not made for
advanced troubleshooting.
The manual contains five chapters

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Remote Control System Functional
Description
The Kongsberg Maritime C20 Marine Automation system
consists of, among others the AutoChief C20 Propulsion
Control System. Modular design allows flexibility in
configuring the system to individual requirements, covering the
whole range from standard propulsion configurations to highly
advanced twin or quadruple engine installations with high,
medium or low speed engines connected to reduction, reversing
gear or variable pitch propellers. This system may be a part of a
total integrated ship control system consisting of other sub.
Systems such as:
Alarm and monitoring system.
Auxiliary control system.
Power management system.
Ballast automation system.
HVAC (air conditioning).
Management support
The system is based on Kongsberg Maritime unified automation

concept, where each individual ship configuration is built up
using standard modules communicating on CAN- and local area
networks. The C20 system is configurable for all ship types.
The AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control System is designed for
remote control of the main engine from the combined telegraph
and manoeuvring lever in the wheelhouse. By moving this lever,
the system will control the controllable pitch propeller and
provide forward or reverse thrust as requested

2.11 Remote control system functions

2.11.1 Start fail/block
As long as any of the below mentioned conditions is active the
engine is inhibited for starting.
2.11.1.1 Start failed
Starting failure is announced from the MAN B&W ECS when

one of the following conditions occurs, and is indicated on ECR
and Bridge ACP.
3 failed starts
Slow turning failure
2.11.1.2 Start air pressure low
To secure a safe starting of the main engine a minimum starting

air pressure is required. The value for minimum starting air
pressure allowed is preset in parameters in the remote control
system. If the pressure is below this preset level Start Block is
activated.
2.11.1.3 Engine tripped
Engine has tripped because of a shut down detected and created

by the safety system.
Details to be found in the alarm list on the Safety system mimic
pages.
2.11.1.4 Start blocked
If one or more of the following conditions are present the ECS

will block the start:
AA-00391-A
Shut down
Main starting valve blocked
Starting air distribution system blocked
Control air vented
Turning gear engaged
Starting air pressure low and bridge control active
Auxiliary blowers not operational and bridge control active
33

When the start is blocked the ECS will release an alarm and
route Start Blocked signal to the RCS via the serial connection.
The ECS will automatically reset the start blocking when the
condition has returned to normal and stop command is released.
2.11.1.5 Engine blocked
This is a signal from the Electronic Control System to the

remote control system via serial line informing that the engine is
blocked for operation. Its active if one or all of the following
conditions is active:
Main starting valve blocked
Starting air distribution system blocked
Control air vented
2.11.2 Engine/CPP Not ready

2.11.2.1 Start air distributor blocked
For safety reasons, when the main engine is not in use, the start
air distributor is blocked. To be able to start the engine the start
air distributor has to be unblocked.
2.11.2.2 Main Start air valve blocked
For safety reasons, when the main engine is not in use, the main
start air valve is mechanically blocked. To be able to start the
engine the main start air valve has to be unblocked.
2.11.2.3 Turning gear engaged
The turning gear is mechanically engaged to the flywheel. The

main engine is therefore inhibited from starting.
2.11.2.4 Control air vented
The control air valve is closed and the line is pressure released
with a ventilation valve.
34
AA-00391-A

2.11.2.5 Engine not ready/ready
Engine Not Ready is used for an indication at the bridge, ECR

and LOP. The purpose of the Engine Not Ready indication is to
inform the navigator/engine staff that the engine is not fully
capable of functioning. For example it may not be possible to
start the engine again if it has been stopped.
It is allowed to perform a start attempt if the Engine Not Ready
indication is on. However, the normal procedure is to wait until
Engine Not Ready deactivates before a start attempt is carried
out e.g. after black-out.
The ECS will route Engine Not Ready to the remote control
system via serial connection. The Engine Not Ready signal is set
active if the condition for engine ready is not fulfilled Engine
Not Ready is thus the inverse of the following signals:
Main starting valve in service position
Starting air distribution system in service position
Turning gear disengaged
Control air pressure OK
Hydraulic supply system OK
Auxiliary blowers operational
ECS OK
2.11.2.6 CPP Hydraulic Pressure
This function monitors the actual control oil pressure for the
controllable pitch propeller. If the CPP pumps is not running (At
least one) or the pressure is to low this message will appear. It
means that we have no control of the propeller pith and therefore
the CPP is not ready.
2.11.2.7 CPP Not Zero
Prior to start of the engine the propellers pitch has to be neutral

(Zero), meaning that no ahead or astern thrust is initiated. If the
CPP is not in zero CPP is not ready an engine cannot be started.
AA-00391-A
35
2.11.3 Starting the main engine

The engine is started automatically in ahead (or astern) direction
from bridge (if the engine is prepared for start), simply by
setting the bridge handle from stop to any position in ahead (or
astern) direction.
2.11.3.1 Delayed start
This function indicates that the Prepare Start sequence has to be

activated before the engine is Ready for start.
2.11.3.2 Prepare Start.
This function is activated from the ACP mimic pages, its

activated for starting the auxiliary blowers prior to the normal
start of the engine. As long as this sequence is not performed the
engine will be in the state Delayed Start. When the sequence
is ready the engine state will be Ready for Start.
2.11.3.3 Starting
Starting of the main engine is performed by selecting the picture

ME/CPP main on the ACP. On this picture is possible to select a
soft-key named ME Start. When the engine is ready for start the
start signal will be sent to the MAN B&W electronic control
system.
2.11.3.4 Repeated start
If the engine fails to start (run on fuel) after the starting air is
switched off, the system will automatically try to restart the
engine. Indication for "repeated starts" will show on bridge and
ECR. If the second start also fails, the system will try once
more. After 3 starting attempts, start failed alarm will be
activated.
2.11.3.5 Running
The signal Running is transferred to the RCS from the ECS

when the engine is running on fuel.
36
AA-00391-A
2.11.4 RPM limiters

For protecting the engine against thermal stress and destruction
some fixed RPM Limiters are included in the ECS.
2.11.4.1 Load Limitation
This function is including the operational limiters:
Chief rpm limit
Torque Limiter
Scavenging air Limiter
The limiter functions is adjustable only in the MAN B&W ECS.
2.11.5 QPT, Quick pass through barred

speed range function
The QPT function is an optional feature to help the main engine
passing through the critical RPM range. In some cases its
difficult to pull the engine through the critical RPM range as the
fuel limiters may activate and restricting the engine to increase
in speed. This problem is avoided as the RPM control system
detects the critical RPM lower level and sends a zero pitch
signal to the AC-C20 pitch control system. The AC-C20 will
then take the pitch to zero and the speed control system will be
able to increase the pump-index with the effect that the engines
RPM will increase and reach the critical RPM upper level.
When this RPM is reached the zero pitch signal is turned of and
the AC-C20 take the propellers pitch angle up to the level which
is matching the manoeuvre lever position.
AA-00391-A
37

2.11.5.1 Load reduction
Pitch
A slow down is caused by a input signal detected by the slow

down module. If such a signal is detected, the safety system will
send a load reduction request to the pitch control system. The
pitch set-point will after a pre-warning time be reduced to the
predefined load reduction level.
SLD load
Level
SLD Active
Time
During pre-warning time an alarm "slow down cancellable" or

"slow down none cancellable" will be displayed on the ACP.
2.11.6 Operation modes

2.11.6.1 Emission mode
This mode is selectable from the ACP mimic. Emission mode is

a special feature controlled by the MAN B&W Electronic
Control System. It secures operation of the main engine with the
lowest emissions for the actual engine type.
38
AA-00391-A

2.11.6.2 Economy mode
This mode is selectable from the ACP mimic. Economy mode is

a special feature controlled by the MAN B&W Electronic
Control System. It secures the operation of the main engine with
the lowest consumption and thereby in the most economic way.
2.11.6.3 Fixed RPM mode 1
This mode will be selected automatically after SEPARATE

RPM or as default after power up. Fixed RPM mode means
pitch control from bridge, bridge-wing or control room by the
AutoChief C20 control levers with a fixed engine speed. Fixed
RPM 1 mode can be manually selected by operating the ACPs
mimic mode select section on the bridge or in control room (the
one in control). The RPM level for this mode is adjustable but is
normally set to 85% of MCR. Fixed RPM can not be selected if
the remote control system is not in charge of RPM control.
(which means that the ACC20system have lost control of the
engine speed (separate RPM), in such a case, the RPM must be
set manually to the fixed RPM position by use of the manual
lever.
2.11.6.4 Fixed RPM Mode 2
Fixed RPM mode 2 is selected manually but the functionality is

the same as for Fixed RPM 1. The fixed RPM 2 rpm level is
normally set to 100% of MCR but is adjustable from the engine
control room panel. In the case were the ship has a dynamic
positioning control system the operation mode in DP-mode is
Fixed RPM mode. In this case the dynamic positioning system
gets information whether Fixed Rpm mode 1 or 2 is selected.
AA-00391-A
39

2.11.6.5 Separate RPM mode
Separate RPM mode means pitch control from bridge, bridgewing or the control room by the AutoChief C20 control levers
(Local control of the CPP is also possible in this mode). RPM
are in this mode controlled separately, from the speed-setting
lever provided in the control room or from the control lever
provided on the local engine side control station. The system
will go automatically into separate RPM mode if the pneumatic
/electric change over valve/switch located in the control room
(and in the engine side control console) are set out of remote
(which means that the ACC20 system have lost control of the
engine speed). An alarm Separate RPM mode will be
announced on bridge and in control room.
2.11.6.6 Combinator mode
Combinatory mode means combined control of RPM and pitch

from bridge, bridge-wing or control room by the AutoChief C20
control levers according to a pre-programmed combinatory
curves. Combinator mode can be manually selected by operating
the ACPs mimic mode select section on the bridge or in control
room (the one in control).Combinatory mode can not be selected
if the pneumatic /electric change over valve/switch is set to
manual which means that the ACC20 system have lost control
of the engine speed (separate RPM)). Combinator mode is
blocked if DP-panel is in control.

2.11.7 Stopping the main engine

The engine is stopped automatically by first selecting the picture
ME/CPP main on the ACP. On this picture its possible to select
a soft-key for stopping the engine. The stop solenoid valve is
activated, and stop signal is given to the MAN B&W Electronic
Control System.
2.12 Safety system functions

2.12.1 Safety function Shut down
2.12.1.1 Shut Down Function (1 6)
Then engine will automatically shut down (stop), if any of the

shut down sensors is activated. The emergency stop solenoid
valve will be activated, and the fuel rack to zero order is given
to the governor. The engine will then stop. The following inputs
for shut down sensors are provided:
Shut down 1:
(Fixed as over speed)
Shut down 2-6:
(To be project specified for the actual

project)
Custom Shut down 1-5

project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.

The shut downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will stop the engine
immediately.
Shut down is reset (after the sensor is de-activated) by setting
the manoeuvring lever at the control stand in control to stop
position. The engine may then be restarted.
AA-00391-A
41

2.12.1.2 Cancellable Shut Down
It will be possible, during the time delay, to cancel the shut

down by pressing the "Cancel SHD" pushbutton on the ACP
unit.
There will be time delay on the cancellable shut downs. The
delay time may be adjusted individually for each sensor. The
cancellable shut-downs may be cancelled individually from the
ACP in control room, regardless of control position, it will
additionally be possible to cancel all shut-downs from bridge
while in bridge control, control room in control room control
and from engine side while in emergency control. The
indications mentioned will be shown on the LCD display of the
ACP unit.
42
AA-00391-A

2.12.1.3 Emergency Stop function
Safety System has possibility for total 5 emergency stop push

buttons
Normally 3 emergency stop pushbuttons will be used:
Bridge
Pushbutton with light with integrated

in bridge LTU.
Control Room
Pushbutton with light with cover

integrated in the ECR LTU
Local Control:
Pushbutton with light with cover

integrated in emergency control PBT.
Emergency stop solenoid valve is directly activated through the

ESU when one of the pushbuttons is activated. Stop signal is
sent to the RCS and fuel rack to zero order is given to the
governor. The engine will stop, and an alarm "emergency stop",
emergency stop valve activated", and information of which of
the emergency stop pushbutton is activated will be shown on the
ACP.
Emergency stop may be activated from all control stands at all
time, regardless of the control position. Emergency stop is
simply deactivated when the pushbutton are pressed once more.
2.12.1.4 Over-speed Shut Down
Over speed is detected by the RPM detection system, from tacho

pick-ups which are mounted towards engine fly-wheel, when the
engine revolution exceeds the over speed level (107% of MCR,
adjustable).
A hardwired signal from the RPM detection system is connected
to a shut down input on the ESU for direct activation of
emergency stop solenoid valve.
And the RPM detection system will by dual redundant CAN
order shut down of engine to RCS, Safety System and Governor
System. This will cause the emergency stop solenoid valve to be
activated and the fuel rack position moved to zero.
The engine will stop and the alarm "over speed" will be shown
on the ACP.
Over speed is reset by setting the manoeuvring lever at the
control stand to stop position. The engine may then be restarted.
AA-00391-A
43
2.12.2 Safety function Slow Down

2.12.2.1 Slow Down Function (1 20)
The engine will automatically get a load reduction by a pitch

reduction signal. The load is corresponding to the telegraph
order slow (adjustable) if any of the slow down sensors is
activated. Slow down signal will be sent to the remote control
system and/or the speed control system, which takes action.
Slow down is indicated on the ACP. The inputs for slow down
sensors are as follows:
Slow down 1-20:

project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.

The slow downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will reduce the engine
speed immediately; while there will be time delay on the
cancellable ones. The delay time may be adjusted individually
for each sensor. The cancellable slow-downs may be cancelled
individually from the ACP in control room, regardless of control
position, it will additionally be possible to cancel all slowdowns from bridge while in bridge control, control room in
control room control and from engine side while in emergency
control.
Slow down is automatically reset after the sensor is de-activated,
alternatively it is reset when the sensor is de-activated, and the
bridge handle is set below the slow down level.
A none cancellable slowdown will activate speed reduction
immediately after the time delay has run out.
Slow down action is performed as follows:
Bridge Control
Automatically by the remote control

system.
Control Room Contr. Automatically by the governor or

manually by the operator
Local Control:
44
Manually by the local speed device.
AA-00391-A

2.12.2.2 Cancellable Slow Down
It will be possible during the time delay to cancel the slowdown

by pressing the "Cancel SLD" pushbutton on the ACP unit.
If not cancelled, the slow down will be activated and be
indicated as "slow down activated" and the speed set-point will
be reduced to the slow down level, normally corresponding to
dead slow (adjustable).
It will be possible to adjust main engine speed in the area
between minimum run and slow down level.
Slow down is reset automatically, when the slow down signal
goes off.
The indications mentioned will be shown on the LCD display of
the ACP unit.

2.13 RPM measurement functions

2.13.1 Dual engine speed detector system
for MAN B&W ME Engines
The AutoChiefC20 is furnished with two independent RPM
measurement systems. These systems will at all time ensure
correct reading of the RPM pickups and give alarm in case of
irregularities.
There is a hardwired connection for activating overspeed shut
down from the RPME to the ESU (Safety system).
The RPM detector system is used to detect over speed, critical
RPM, wrong rotation as well as driving a variety of RPM
indicators located on bridge, in control room and engine side.
2.13.2 RPM detector failure

RPM monitoring is critical for starting and running of the
engine, So if the RPM measuring system is experiencing a
redundant detector failure the engine is inhibited for starting.
A principle diagram of the RPM detector system is shown
below:

Troubleshooting of all parts of the system
4.2 Overview
This maintenance chapter is intended for trained maintenance
technicians or engineers with experience of electronic and
digital circuits, computers and electro mechanical design. The
level of information is based on Kongsberg Maritime
maintenance philosophy: The onboard technical personnel shall,
with the help of the documentation and the systems built-in test
functions, be able to identify malfunctions, locate the fault, and
replace major parts, modules and components on a Line
Replaceable Unit (LRU) level. He/she will however not
attempt to repair the LRUs.
Note
AA-00391-A
Cleaning with abrasive material or strong chemical cleaning

solutions is not recommended as these may damage the system.
103
4.3 Unit replacement

Warning
Turn power off before replacing any parts!
Note
AutoChief C20 units are not field repairable. Any attempt will
void the warranty.
Package faulty units using the box from the replacement unit
and send it to Kongsberg Maritime for repair.
Refer to page NO TAG for information on how to get in touch with us.
4.3.1 Recommended tools

Drawings of the installation.
Digital multimeter.
Sensor simulator.
Screwdriver for wire terminals: Flat 3 x 0.7 mm.
Screwdriver for screen termination board: Flat 7 x 1.0 mm.
Screwdriver Pozidriv: POZI #1.

4.4 Preventive maintenance
4.4.1 General
Kongsberg Maritime recommends the following preventive
maintenance routine for the AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control
system with process control and power management:
Weekly:
Clean all operator panels, and run the on-line lamp
and unit function tests. Clean all filters for units
equipped with fans.
3-Monthly: Check rpm pickups
6-Monthly: Check cables and cable entrances, electrical screwterminals, fuse connections and plug connections.
104
AA-00391-A

Yearly:
Check and if necessary calibrate the input sensors

and output actuators according to the
manufacturers instructions.
The Classification Societies and/or the Ships Maintenance Plan

(or Sites Maintenance Plan) should be referred to for obtaining
a recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system.
Kongsberg Maritime recommends that the operation of each unit
and its functions is checked after any major maintenance. By
major maintenance is understood the removing, testing,
calibrating and re-installing or replacement of pressure sensors,
temperature sensors etc. After this type of maintenance, we
recommend each unit to be re-commissioned according to the
instruction given in this manual.
4.4.2 Weekly maintenance

This maintenance routine applies to units equipped with lamp
and/or function test buttons. Pushing function test buttons will
not interrupt normal system operation.
AutoChief Control Panel (ACP), Lever Telegraph Unit (LTU),
Push-button Telegraph (PBT), Multiple Purpose Panel (MPP)
and the multiple Purpose display (MPD)
Each week do the following for each of these Units:
1.
Clean the surface of the units. Wipe the surfaces with a

clean damp cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a clean, damp
cloth which has been dipped in a solution of a mild dish
detergent and water. Wring out firmly before wiping the
unit. Never use cleaning solutions containing spirit or
alcohol.
2.
Push LAMP TEST.

All LEDs should be lit for about five seconds.
if the test fails, refer to the trouble shooting section.
4.4.2.1 Distributed Processing Units
The distributed processing units do not require weekly

maintenance.
AA-00391-A
105
4.4.3 3-monthly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. For rpm pick-ups :
Remove dirt and check distance, while engine is stopped
4.4.4 6-monthly maintenance

Where applicable; check the following parts of the system each
6-month period:
1
Check cables and cable entrances for damage to the cable.
Tighten all electrical screw-terminals.
Tighten all plug connections.
4.4.5 Yearly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. Each year, check and
if necessary calibrate the input sensors and output actuators
according to the manufacturers instructions. In general, it is not
necessary to re-calibrate sensors if the input signal is correct.
Compare the input signal to this system, with the input signals
on other systems or local gauges.
Refer to the Classification Societies and/or the Ships
Maintenance Plan (or Sites Maintenance Plan) for obtaining a
recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system. The societies normally
recommend a 3-monthly to 6-monthly schedule.
