3 Operator Workstations.
An Operator Workstation consists out of a

TFT colour graphic screen, Operator
Keyboard with Trackball, Marine Personal
Computer and optional Printer. The
Operator Workstation provides a reliable
and user-friendly operator interface to
ensure safe operation.
The Operator Workstations are connected to
each other via the redundant Ethernet LAN
network based upon UTP cabling.
Two Operator Workstations, called the
Main Server and the Back-up Server, are
communicating via the redundant Ethernet
link with the Control Processor with I/O
Modules (Distributed Processing Units) and
to the Extension Alarm System. This
ensures a full redundant lay-out.
Client Operator Workstations communicate
with either the Main Server or Back-up
Server Operator Workstation via the
redundant Ethernet link.
The Operator Keyboard with Trackball includes the following selection keys:
- Alarm summary page
- Group page
- Graphic page
- EAS page
- Acknowledge alarm
- Stop Horn
The Operator Workstations are extremely reliable and service friendly resulting in a very high
MTBF because of the following facts:
a) Windows 7 (WES7) operating system and Mega-Guard software installed on Compact
Flash card.
b) Software updates easily executed by exchanging the Compact Flash card
c) Very low heat dissipation of the Marine Personal Computer (25W).
d) The Marine Personal Computer case is small (L= 263mm, W=217mm and H=60mm)
so it is much better resistant to vibrations and much easier to install.
e) The Marine Personal Computer, Printer and TFT screen are operating directly on
24VDC and are fed by the UPS.

3.2 High Speed Network (based upon Ethernet 100-BASE-T)
All Workstations, Distributed Processing Units, PMS Operator Panels and EAS Operator
Panels are inter-connected via a redundant High Speed Network; based upon Ethernet
technologies. The High Speed Network uses, in accordance with class rules, 2x CAT5e,
screened and shielded twisted pair cables (S/STP or S/FTP), one for main link and one for
back-up link.
The cables are routed in a star configuration. The 6001-7xx Marine Personal Computer can be
equipped with 100-BASE-T interface with a RJ45 type of connector for connection to the
Network.
The High Speed Network specifications are as follows:

Cable type: CAT5e S/FTP or S/STP screened and
shielded twisted pair (e.g. Draka
Toughcat 5e S/FTP cable)
Cable connectors: RJ45 male.
Minimum cable length between nodes: 0.5 meter
Maximum total cable length without repeaters: 100 meter
Data rate: 100 MBit
The Ethernet network can be wired with Star and Ring topologies. Two Managed Ethernet
Network Switches (one Main and one Back-Up) are applied in case Star topology or in case a
combination of Star and Ring topologies. In addition, when single segment cable length
exceeds 100m, an Ethernet Switch has to be applied.

3.3 Redundant Network
To operate the network adapters the "Redundant network" application is available. This
application decides if the main or backup network card is used. It checks both networks
continuously and reports errors to the system as alarms.
In the next picture the Redundant network application is shown, with explanations for each
part of the main dialog.
For more information about the redundant network application is referred to the "PTD
Redundant Network" document.

4 OPERATOR WORK STATION FUNCTIONS
Alarms, process values and system conditions are presented to the operator on the
Workstation in a variety of ways. Full alarm functions are provided on process values, error
conditions and Mega-Guard system failures.
The Mega-Guard Ship Automation System provides for (automatic) control of pumps, valves,
heaters and other devices, the management of the electrical power plant, and the control for
main engines and propeller. Control can be performed manually from the Workstation. This
control can be part of automatic control sequences by the Mega-Guard series units according
to specified conditions.
4.1 Channel lay-out in a system
Channels in a Mega-Guard system are represented as a 5 digit number XPBCC:

XP = Control Processor number (valid numbers: 1 to 99)
B = I/O Module Number (valid numbers: 1 to 8)
CC = Channel Number on an I/O Module (valid numbers: 1 to 99)
Channels are present on an I/O Module. I/O Modules are used for physical I/O to ship's plant.
I/O Panels are typically used as operator panels as applied in Generator Control and Main
Engine Remote Control applications (lamps, pushbuttons etc.)
Two type of channels can be distinguished:
- Hardware channels
- Virtual channels
Hardware channels are physically present and are connected to either a sensor, actuator lamp,
pushbutton etc.. Virtual channels have the same functionality as hardware channels, but lack
any physical I/O. They can be used for calculated input values, intermediate output results,
alarming and logging purposes.
4.2 Alarm, Monitoring and Control functions
Alarm, Monitoring and Control functions are executed on Control Processor level. Up to 8
I/O Modules and up to 4 Serial Link Isolators can be connected to a single Control Processor.
I/O Modules also contain a LED indicator for each hardware channel with text window in
order to indicate alarm or status conditions. Control Processors, Serial Link Isolators and I/O
Modules are installed in Distributed Processing Units (DPU’s).
A Control Processor together with up to 8 I/O Modules and up to 4 Serial Link Isolators acts
as a stand-alone alarm, monitoring and control system.
Control Processors are able to communicate with each other and to the Operator Workstations
Workstation via a redundant Ethernet Network.
Control functions are programmed with the PAL1131 tool which is available on each
Operator Workstation. The PAL1131 tool is in full accordance with the IEC61131(ST)

Rev.: 1.1
Date: 16-Sep-2011
standard. Control Processors are able to communicate with each other,to the Operator
Workstations and to the LCD Operator panels via a redundant Ethernet Network.
A LCD Operator Panel acts as a Control Processor and up to 2 I/O Modules can be connected
to the LCD Operator Panel.
4.3 Channel and tag numbering
Channel identification on the TFT Screen and selection via Operator Keyboard on the
Operator Workstation can be as follows:
- use channel numbering (5 digit XPBCC; defined by used hardware)
- use tag numbering (maximum of 10 digits; defined by
owner/yard)
With the Operator Keyboard or Trackball you can select (via general Page) if you want to
display and print channel numbers or tag numbers. Only one method (channel or tag) can be
displayed at the same time.

5.6 Printer
AUTOMATIC ALARM PRINT FUNCTION

The printer prints each channel getting in or out of alarm when the printer is configured for
alarm printing. In case the printer is printing something else (e.g. PRINT SCREEN is pressed)
and during the printing an alarm needs to be printed, the alarm is memorized and printed
automatically after the PRINT SCREEN is finished. A return to normal is also printed when
the alarm has already been acknowledged.
AUTOMATIC PERIODIC PRINTING

At pre-selected time intervals the periodic print-out starts. During this print-out, pre-selected
pages of the system are printed. The pre-selections are made during SET-UP.
DEMAND PRINT
When this function is selected with the Trackball or Operator Keyboard, a print-out is made
of pre-selected pages of the system.
PRINT SCREEN
The current screen contents are printed when this function is selected with the Trackball or
Operator Keyboard. This function is mainly used when a print-out of a GRAPHIC MIMIC
PAGE , GROUP PAGE or TREND PAGE is required.
Each day at 00:00:00 the printer starts at a new page. The date is printed at the top of the page.

Rev.: 1.1
Date: 16-Sep-2011
5.7 Alarm Page
Presents the channels, from all attached units, which are in alarm.
5.7.1 TFT Screen
When ALARM PAGE is selected the following appears:
Figure 3: Alarm Page

In this page only channels are presented which are currently in alarm or which have been in
alarm but are not yet acknowledged. The channels are listed in chronological order. If the
channels don't fit on one page, you can scroll through all available pages with the slide bar at
the right side of the screen. You can also use the Page Up and Page Down or with Scroll-Up
and Scroll Down on the Operator Keyboard.
When a new alarm is detected the screen returns to the first page.
The status position ('ALARM!') will blink when the channel gets into the alarm status. When
the channel is acknowledged the blinking stops. Only the channels currently displayed are
acknowledged with the Trackball or Operator Keyboard ('ACK' key or button resp.).
Channels returning to normal disappear from the screen when they are acknowledged.
The 'ALARM' page button also blinks in red as long as one or more channels are not
acknowledged. It reverts to steady red when all alarms are acknowledged and back to grey
when all alarms are resolved.

Rev.: 1.1
Date: 16-Sep-2011
5.7.2 Data lay-out
The channel data on the screen and on the printer is configured as follows:
- TAG - channel reference
- TIME - LT
- DESCRIPTION - channel description
- VALUE - measurement value
• including sign when negative
• including decimal point for smaller ranges
the value is continuously updated
- UNIT - engineering unit (e.g. 'degC', 'Bar')
- LIMITS - • one or two (or none) alarm limits: value (as above)
and type ('VL', 'L', 'H', 'VH')
• for an average alarm the corresponding average
value is shown instead
- DT - alarm delay time in sec. (yellow) or min. (white/bold)
- STATUS - current channel status (e.g. ALARM!, NORMAL,
SENSFA).
Status channels:
When a channel is configured as a status input without the print status option on, the status
changes are not displayed and printed in ALARM PAGE. In CHANNEL PAGE and GROUP
PAGE the condition of a status channel can be monitored.
Inhibition:
The status of a channel whose inhibitor is active (i.e.: channel is inhibited) will not appear in
the ALARM PAGE. When viewed from the GROUP PAGE or CHANNEL PAGE the
channel's status is 'INHIB'.
5.7.3 Alarm Logging
When enabled during SET-UP, all alarms and returns to normal after acknowledgement are
logged to disk. A Comma Separated Variable (.CSV) file will be generated and logged to disk
on a daily basis. The file is compatible and can be read by programs as EXCEL spreadsheet.
Each day a new file is generated and the file name has the following lay-out:
alarms_DDMMYYYY.CSV; Where:
- YYYY = year number
- MM = month
- DD = day
Example file name:
alarms_17072001.CSV
This file is stored in the sub directory "Data\AlarmLog" of the folder, for instance:
D:\Software\System\ \Data\AlarmLog
Since this folder is shared you can also find them by using the path:

Rev.: 1.1
Date: 16-Sep-2011
\\SERVER_1\Data\AlarmLog
The maximum amount of alarms that can be logged is similar to the maximum of channels
that can be logged. See paragraph 5.8.2.
5.8 Group Page, Trending and Data Logging
Channels of a predefined group (set-up) can be monitored.
5.8.1 Group page
When GROUP PAGE is selected an overview page appears on the screen with all group
numbers and the group descriptions. When enabled during SET-UP, a group number has 2
additional fields: Enable/Disable Logging and Trend View.
When a group number is selected, the following appears on the screen:
Figure 4: Group Page

The group message appears after the group number.
If a channel is temporarily skipped the status field shows *SKIP*.
When accessed via the General Selection Button 'GROUP' or the 'GROUP PAGE' key of the
Operator Keyboard, PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN displays the next / previous group in the
system. Scrolling within a group can be selected by moving the slide bar on the right side of
the screen or by pressing the SCROLL UP/DOWN keys on the Operator Keyboard. To select
a different group directly, select GROUP PAGE again.
At the Message Line the most recent unacknowledged alarm is displayed (if any).

Rev.: 1.1
Date: 16-Sep-2011
5.8.2 Data Logging
Channels can be logged and trended (see paragraph 5.8.3). There are maximum quota's that
need to be taken into consideration:
Samples Logging Trend Trend Disk space Disk space

Sec/Sample Channels Channels Groups MB per day MB per week
1 10 7 1 0.1 1
5 100 10 10 14.0 100
30 1000 10 100 23.3 164
60 3000 10 250* 35.0 245
3600 5000 10 250* 1.4 11
These figures are limited by the processor time that is required to write them to disk. The
amount of free disk space is approximately 1GB (standard), 3GB (option), 7GB) (option) or
15GB (option).
A limit to the total size of the log files is set in the configuration. Once the disk space exceeds
the space limit, the oldest file is deleted.
 A group can hold a maximum of 256 channels. The system can contain 250 groups.
 For trending it is useful to put channels in a group of maximum 10 channels. If more channels are put in one
group, only the first 10 can be trended. Pressing Page Down will bring the next 10 channels on screen.
Each channel that is logged uses system resources according the following formula:
<Channels> * 0.7
= Disk space in bytes per day
<Sec/Sample>
 "0.7" is the rounded figure that indicates space required for 1 channel per second per day in Mega Bytes
For example:
- If 3000 channels must be logged
- 1 minute interval time between the samples
- Channel trending is required, so the channels are divided in 30 groups
3000 * 0.7 / 60 = 35Mb per day.
To turn on logging the GROUP PAGE is selected and an overview page appears on the screen
with all group numbers and the group descriptions. When enabled during SET-UP, a group
number has 2 additional fields: Enable/Disable Logging and Trend View.
When the data logging for a specific group is enabled a Comma Separated Variable (.CSV)
file will be generated and logged to disk on a daily basis. Programs as EXCEL spreadsheet

6 EXTENSION ALARM SYSTEM
The extension alarm system is a highly reliable engineer calling system, which extends the
Mega-Guard Ship Automation System for unmanned machinery space operation.
On Duty Selection and Engineer Calling functions are executed on a dedicated mimic on the
Operator Workstation.
The dedicated mimic display on the Operator Workstation contains the following fields:
- On duty selection
- Attended / unattended (manned / unmanned) ER indication and/or selection
- Engineer calling,
- Patrol timer / engineer safety system (dead man timer); including display of remaining
time.
The On Duty Selection and Engineer Calling functions are fully redundant as upon failure of
an Operator Workstation, the extension alarm system functions are automatically transferred
to a back-up Operator Workstation.
EAS Operator Panels are installed in Bridge and Accommodation areas (cabins and common
rooms such as mess room).
The EAS Operator Panels are equipped with the following:
- 8 lines / 40 character LCD display for displaying individual alarms
- On Duty lamp
- 8x Group Alarm lamps with buzzer
- Fire Alarm lamp with buzzer
- Call ECR and Call Bridge pushbutton/lamp
- Accept and Stop Horn pushbuttons
- Dimming pushbuttons (Arrow Left and Arrow Right)
The rear side of the EAS Operator Panel is equipped with a separate Fire Alarm input.
The EAS Operator panel is equipped with a redundant Ethernet link for communication to the
Workstations.
Watch Entrance Units and Timer Reset Units can be connected directly to a Control Processor
(default XP101).

9 OPERATOR WORK STATION ERROR MESSAGES AND TROUBLE

SHOOTING
All the functions of the units are tested regularly during run-time. The diagnostics package
monitors the correct working of the I/O Modules, analog sensors, alarm contacts and the
network.
• A sensor/contact error generates a message which can be viewed from the ALARM
PAGE or on the bottom line of any other page. Also the Trackball 'ALARM' button and
one of the Trackball selection buttons on top of the screen will flash.
• An error from a Control Processor, I/O Module, EAS Operator panel, PMS Operator
Panel and the Ethernet network generates a message which can be viewed from the
DIAGNOSTIC PAGE or on the bottom line of any other page.
The network errors 'MAIN LINK OUT OF ORDER' and 'BACK-UP LINK OUT OF
ORDER' only appear with a redundant link installed. The network error message 'UNIT
DISCONNECTED' can be cleared from the DIAGNOSTIC PAGE by pressing the
DIAGNOSTIC PAGE (TEST) key anew from this page. (E.g. when a unit is
permanently detached from the network.) If the error persists, the message will reappear.
When the fault is relieved, the message is cleared from the display and a 'back to order'
message appears on the printer.
