POWERFUL AND EASY TO USE


Pleiger Process Control (PPC)

Pleiger Process Control (PPC) is a PC-based con-


trol system for operation, monitoring and auto-
mation in ship operations.

Several operator terminals are connected via Ethernet. According to


application, one or more of these operator terminals can take over a
PLC function. The connection of the process I/O and the connection
to external systems are implemented using up to four independent
Modbus RTU interfaces, or Modbus TCP.

– Valve Remote Control – External Systems


– Tank Measuring (Loading Computer,
Alarm Monitoring Systems, ...)
Hardware
Rugged industrial PC – ship classified
An industrial PC (IPC-S) specially adapted to ship applications provides integrated PLC and SCADA
functions.

Highlights:
_Compact design and construction – hat rail fitting for _Identical hardware for all stations – reduced spare parts
switching cabinet and in-desk installation storage and rapid aid on board
_Flash card memory – data memory resistant against _Monitors for various installation methods (console or
vibrations desktop mounting), dimmable, touch screen operation
_Flexible standard interfaces – simple data accessibility to
the peripherals
_Flexible interfaces to external systems
data exchange over standard or customer-specific adapted
data exchange protocols e.g. to the loading computer or
alarm system

SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE


Functions
Well-proven standard functions – highest functionality
Powerful automatic system functions simplify ope- As a component part of the valve system, integra-
ration and avoid operator errors. ted functions reduce the number of interfaces, as
well as interface problems between different ma-
nufacturers.

_Valve-/Pump Automation – Secure control, display and mo- _Source/Target Control – Partial automation of all pump pro-
nitoring of the operational states of valves, pumps and further cesses in the ballast system, ease of operation – also through
units. non-specialist personnel, assured monitoring and alarm of
operational states:
_Tankmeasuring System – Collection and calculation of filling The operation is reduced to the simple selection of one
levels, volume calculation with trim correction, adjustable source (e.g. sea), one target (e.g. tank) and the input acknow-
alarm limits, clear displays with all detailed information, bar ledgement. All of the actions associated with the pumping
graphs for the intuitive recording of the overall condition. procedure, such as opening the valves, starting the pumps,
monitoring the limit values, are implemented automatically.
_Bilge Automation – Automatic emptying of bilge wells,
valve and pump control dependent on filling levels, avoidance
of additional alarms, calmer ship operation through automatic
system function.
Functions
Well-proven standard functions – highest functionality

_Heeling Automation – Automatic heeling equilibrium in the


loading operation, with operating range of +/-10°, input-capa-
ble alarm limits, monitoring of the fuel tank capacities, valves,
pumps, variable inclination setpoint for the optimization of the
loading operation.

_Stability Test System – Assured verification of the ship`s


stability – The In-Service Inclining Test System ISITS enables
the rapid stipulation of the ship`s stability. In this case, the
heeling of the ship is measured as reaction to a defined hee-
ling moment with the aid of two high-precision incline meters.
The moment is generated through the transfer pumping of
ballast water between the heeling tanks. In addition, the dis-
placement of the ship is determined by a precise draught
measurement. From these values, the GM stability measure
is calculated. Graphic outputs of the measured values facili-
tate the checking of the correct progress of the measure-
ment. For every measurement, a record can be printed or
written into a PDF file.

_Ballast Water Exchange – Automated ballast water ex-


change for the release of operating personnel from burden-
some duties and assured compliance with specifications;
following the source/target control operating philosophy, the
tanks are preselected and the operation released. The emp-
tying and filling of the side tanks and the continuous replace-
ment in the bottom tanks is implemented automatically, with
signaling of the respective status.

PROVEN AND USEFUL


Overall system
Single Source Effectiveness
The PPC system is adapted optimally to the Pleiger control components and extends it to a compre-
hensive overall system.

Highlights:
_Clear displays, intuitive operation

_Understandable and detailed system diagnostics – simple fault


troubleshooting; the system diagnostics, as well as aid functions,
such as self-tests, offer clear indications of problem points

_Clear system structure – clear interconnections

_Coordinated system components – continuously compatible interfaces

_Continuity of all systems – from the actuator/sensor through to the


control system a homogeneous solution

_Simple system maintenance/diagnostics – detailed status and fault


indications simplify operational startup, error location and maintenance

_Clear interfaces to external systems – standard protocols and


detailed documentation guarantee secure function

_High performance functions – extending from the individual valve


control, through to the overall automation
