Specifications

Electrical Specifications

Power supply adaptability: UN924 Digital Display Controller can seamlessly adapt to a variety of power supply voltages commonly used on ships, covering both DC and AC power supply systems, and can maintain stable operation over a wide voltage fluctuation range, ensuring that data transmission and equipment control are not subject to unstable power supply interferences. For example, under the voltage condition of 24V±20% DC, it can stably provide power support for the internal circuits and connected devices to ensure the normal operation of display and control functions.

Communication interface and rate: The controller is equipped with a wealth of communication interfaces, supporting PROFIBUS - DP, RS232, RS485 and other industry standard communication protocols. Take PROFIBUS - DP network communication as an example, its data transmission rate can reach up to 12Mbps, which can achieve high-speed and stable data interaction with sensors, actuators, controllers and other devices in the ship automation system, and quickly transmit key information such as equipment operation status and control instructions.

Physical Specifications

Compact design: the overall size has been carefully considered and optimised, compact design, can be cleverly integrated into the limited and complex installation space inside the ship, whether it is installed in the narrow cabin control room, or integrated into the ship's centre console and other equipment, can be done with ease, will not take up too much valuable space.

Sturdy shell and protection level: The shell is made of durable metal with excellent mechanical strength and impact resistance, which can effectively resist vibration, collision and other external forces during the ship's voyage. At the same time, its protection level reaches IP65, which can prevent dust and water splash in all directions, and even in the humid, dusty and oil-contaminated environment of the ship's cabin, it can work stably for a long time, ensuring the reliability and stability of the equipment operation.

Third, the performance characteristics

High-definition digital display

Clear presentation of information: Equipped with a high-resolution digital display, it is able to present the operating parameters, status information, fault alarms and system diagnostic data of various types of equipment with high clarity. The display interface adopts a simple and intuitive design concept, which enables operators to quickly capture key information in a short period of time and greatly improves work efficiency.

Multi-mode display: It supports multiple display modes, which can be switched according to actual needs. For example, it can accurately display equipment parameters in the form of numerical values, such as engine speed, oil temperature, oil pressure, etc.; it can also display the operating status of the ship system in a graphical interface, such as dynamic flow charts to show the direction of liquid flow in the pipeline, the workflow of the equipment, etc., so that the operator can understand the operation of the system at a glance.

Powerful control function

Accurate control of equipment: powerful control computing ability, based on the preset control logic and external signals received, the implementation of accurate control of ship-related equipment. For example, it can accurately adjust the throttle opening of the ship's engine and the steering angle of the rudder, etc., to ensure that the ship operates stably in accordance with the predetermined routes and working conditions.

Flexible control strategy: It supports a variety of control strategies, and users can flexibly choose manual control, automatic control or hybrid control mode according to the actual operational requirements and operating conditions of the ship. In manual control mode, the operator can operate the equipment directly through the buttons and knobs on the controller panel; in automatic control mode, the controller automatically completes the control of the equipment according to the preset procedures and the feedback data from the sensors, realising the automatic operation of the ship.

Intelligent data processing

Real-time data monitoring and analysis: real-time monitoring and collection of the operating data of the connected equipment, and in-depth analysis of these data using the built-in intelligent algorithm. It can quickly identify abnormalities in equipment operation, such as parameters deviating from the normal range, abnormal changes in equipment operation trends, etc., and issue timely warning signals to remind operators to take appropriate measures.

Fault diagnosis and prediction: With advanced fault diagnosis technology, when equipment failure occurs, it can quickly and accurately locate the fault point, and give detailed analysis of the cause of the failure and solution suggestions. At the same time, through the comprehensive analysis of historical data and real-time operation data, it also has the function of fault prediction, which can predict the possible failure of the equipment in advance, so as to arrange the maintenance plan in advance, and reduce the risk of sudden equipment failure.

Application Scenarios

Ship power system monitoring and control

Engine operation management: In the control system of ship engines, UN924 Digital Display Controller can collect key operation parameters such as engine speed, torque, fuel consumption, coolant temperature, oil pressure and so on in real time, and display these data clearly on the screen. By observing the display, the operator can understand the working status of the engine in time, and when abnormal parameters are found, the controller can quickly adjust the operating parameters of the engine to ensure stable and efficient operation of the engine.

Propulsion system control: It is closely connected with the ship's propulsion system, such as propellers and pod propellers, etc. It can accurately control the output power and propulsion direction of the propulsion system according to the ship's navigational instructions and actual working conditions. For example, when the ship enters or leaves the port and navigates in narrow channels, the controller can achieve fine control of the propulsion system to ensure flexible and safe manoeuvring of the ship.

Cabin Automation System Integration

Centralised monitoring of equipment: as the core display and control terminal of the cabin automation system, UN924 is able to integrate the operation information of many equipments in the cabin, such as pumps, compressors, generators, ventilation equipments and so on. Through a single display, the operator can centrally monitor all the equipment in the nacelle and fully grasp the operating status of the equipment, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of equipment management in the nacelle.

Automation control and linkage: It works with all kinds of sensors and actuators in the cabin to realise the automation control and linkage of the equipment. For example, when the level sensor in the cabin detects that the fuel level is too low, the controller can automatically start the fuel replenishment pump for refuelling; when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in a certain area is too high, it can automatically control the ventilation equipment to increase the ventilation to reduce the temperature. Through this kind of automatic control and linkage, it can effectively improve the operation reliability of cabin equipment, reduce manual intervention, and lower the risk of human error.

Ship navigation and safety system assistance

Navigation information display: In the ship navigation system, UN924 can real-time display the ship's position, heading, speed, water depth, wind speed, wind direction and other navigation information, as well as the traffic conditions around the ship, such as the position and dynamics of other ships (obtained through the AIS system). This information is crucial for the ship's driver to accurately grasp the ship's navigation status, make navigation plans and avoid collision accidents.

Safety system linkage: Linkage with the ship's safety system, such as fire alarm system, gas leakage detection system, emergency braking system and so on. When the safety system detects an abnormal situation, UN924 can immediately send out sound and light alarm signals and display detailed alarm information on the screen, such as alarm type, alarm location, etc. Meanwhile, according to the preset programme, UN924 can be linked with other safety systems. At the same time, it can automatically activate relevant safety equipment according to the preset procedures, such as activating the fire extinguishing device, shutting down the ventilation system, triggering the emergency brake, etc., to protect the safety of the ship and personnel.
