Scope of services
The monitoring system registers, evaluates and displays engine and gearbox data of MAN ship's diesel en
gines. The measured values are registered via the MMDS diagnostic units, one of which is placed each of
the engine terminal boxes. Data interchange between the devices takes place via the separate CAN bus
lines, CAN Engine 1 and CAN Engine 2. The compact PC, which is part of every display, processes the
data and makes it available on a CMS 15" / 10" display with the help of visualisation software.
Display
The data is shown on the 10"/15" display MMDS-CMS 10" or the smaller MMDS-CMS 15". Ten function
keys are integrated in each of the monitors. This enables functions such as page selection or scrolling.
On connection of mouse and keyboard, one of the pages can be freely configured. On the Custom page,
the selection of data and its displays can be adapted to the user's needs by means of a few mouse-clicks.
Extension options
The MMDS-CMS alarm system can be extended to form a comprehensive ship and engine alarm system.
A large number of analogue and binary sensors can be integrated on connection of one or more data sta
tions (e.g. MMDS IO12) in order to, e.g., monitor the filling levels of fuel tanks or the condition of position
lanterns. Further route-specific information can be calculated by connecting a GPS receiver that uses
sensor data, for example the range resulting from the current fuel consumption and speed.
