550/4500 Voltage supply
Voltage supply
The main voltage supply comes from the shipboard electrical power system.
This shipboard mains voltage is transformed into a 24 DC voltage by a voltage
transformer.
An additional series transformer can also be used if required by the shipboard mains
voltage.
The function of the voltage transformer is monitored by voltage monitoring relay.
When the main voltage supply is switched on, the infeed changeover contactor and the
voltage monitoring relay are activated via an interval time-delay relay (the contact closes
for about 0.2 sec at switch on and then opens again). The infeed changeover contactor
is locked by means of a contact of the voltage monitoring relay.
A feeder from the 24 V DC shipboard system is provided as a back up voltage supply.
This voltage supply is likewise monitored by a voltage monitoring relay.
In the event of failure of the main voltage supply, the shipboard electrical power system
or the voltage transformer, the 24 V DC back up voltage supply is automatically
activated. The operating voltage for the SCHOTTEL system is switched over
imperceptibly for the ships master, in other words without any effect on the operating
functions.
Failure of the main or back-up voltage supply is signaled to the warning system via
contacts of the voltage monitoring relay.
For better heat dissipation, the control cabinet is forced ventilated by means of a fan. If
there is more than one system on a vessel, the main and back-up voltage supply must
come from independent voltage sources for each system.

550/4500 360 STEERING SYTEMS
GENERAL
The Copilot control is an electro hydraulic way dependable control system for
Schottel propulsion units. The big advantage of this system consists in the fact that the
units can be controlled accurately and in the form of a way dependent control, even over
large distances, only low control, currents flow through the electrical connecting lines
between steering desk and switch box in the engine room.
360 STEERING
The remote control electronics of the 360 steering receive a presetting signal from the
potentiometer, which is fitted on the Copilot 2000. The electronic card compares the
presetting with the actual angle of the SRP and transmits a signal corresponding to the
differential angle to the hydraulics.
If the presetting angle is equal to the angle of the SRP the control is aligned.
The electronic cards contain special protective devices with malfunction detection and
visual display. If the electronic cards detect a malfunction in the control system, they
transmit a malfunction message Steering system failure to the alarm unit. Automatically
the system then changes over from way dependable to time dependable steering.

550/4500 360 STEERING SYTEMS
All malfunctions are indicated individually by LEDs on the front of the electronic card.
If the electronic card detects a fault in the way-dependent system, it switches to the time-
dependent system, retaining the last value of the manipulated variable.
The time-dependent system remains active until it is manually reset. This is done by
switching the circuit-breaker for the way-dependent system off and back on again.
The way- and time-dependent systems are individually protected via circuit-breakers.
The systems are supplied with voltage from a common 24V DC network.
All the components implemented in the electric system have been type-tested by
Germanischer Lloyd, RINA and DNV.

550/4500 PITCH CONTROL SYSEMS
GENERAL
The copilot pitch control is an electro-hydraulic way-dependable control system
for Schottel propulsion units. The big advantage of this system consists in the
fact that the units can be controlled accurately and in the form of a way
dependent control, even over large distances between control station and engine
room; only low control currents flow through the electrical connecting lines
between steering desk and switch box in the engine room.
PITCH CONTROL
The remote control electronics of the pitch control receive a presetting signal
from the potentiometer, which is fitted on the Copilot 2000. The electronical card
compares the presetting with the actual pitch of the SRP and transmits a signal
corresponding to the differential angle to the hydraulics.
If the presetting pitch is equal to the pitch of the SRP the control is aligned.
The electronic cards contain special protective devices with malfunction detection
and visual display. If the electronic cards detect a malfunction in the control
system, they transmit a malfunction message Pitch control failure to the alarm
unit. Automatically the system then changes over from way-dependable to time-
dependable pitch control.

550/4500 CLUTCH CONTROL
This is done either by a limit switch in the Copilot or by a stop switch in the
Speedronic. This means that the clutch is disengaged at idle running. If the
engine speed increases the clutch is automatically engaged.
The following lighted switch for the clutch control is installed in the steering desk:
OFF OPERATION :
If the lighted switch is in the OFF position the lamp clutch disengaged is on.
Now the speed control of the engine can be adjusted without engaged the clutch,
that means the clutch, the clutch control is out of operation.
Furthermore the clutch control can be disengaged at any r.p.m. if the switch is
turned to the OFF position.
AUTO FUNCTION:
For the normal mode the clutch switch must be turned to the AUTO position. To
select this mode the engine can be at idle r.p.m. (speed control unit in the
position IDLE). On the steering desk the lighted switch indicates CLUTCH
DISENGAGED. If the speed is increased now (with the handle on the Copilot)
the lamp CLUTCH DISENGAGED is extinguished. In the idle position of the
handle the clutch automatically disengages and the lighted switch is illuminated.
The clutch control electronic are designed for different kinds of clutches:

550/4500 WARNING SYSTEM
WARNING SYSTEM
OPTO-ACOUSTIC WARNING SYSTEM
The SCHOTTEL warning system provides a visual and acoustic indication of any
malfunctions that occur.
Each electronic card of the warning system is equipped for 5 monitoring
locations. Each warning input can be connected as either a closed-circuit or an
open-circuit input.
Each warning input can be delayed by means of a potentiometer accessible from
the front.
Malfunctions occurring during operation are signaled acoustically by the horn and
visually by a rapidy flashing light.
When the alarm is ackknowledge by pressing the push button HORN OFF on
the steering desk the acustic signal is stopped and the flashlight changes to
steady light.
The steady light is extinguished when the malfunction is remedied.
If a second malfunction is signaled before the first has been remedied, the horn is
reactivated and the new malfunction is indicated by a rapidy flashing light.
If a malfunction is rectified automatically before being acknowledged, the
acoustic signal is switched off and the rapidly flashing light changes to slow
flashing. The electronic card has been type-tested by Germanischer Lloyd.

550/4500 SCHOTTEL COMBINATOR
GENERAL
The computer calculates the values for optimal revolutions and pitch from the
speed lever. In this way the engine always runs in its optimal working point. A
sensor for fuel feedback on the engine detects if the vessel is under bollard pull
conditions or not. The optimal pitch for these working points is calculated from
the fuel feedback and is adjusted automatically.
In the fire-fighting mode the revolutions of the engine are fixed and the pitch is
adjustable. The pitch is controlled as in the normal mode.
Each error occuring in the program and resulting in a stop of the program is
recognized by an internal watchdog circuit. Such an error results in switching to
the way-dependable CP steering system.
