Safety Instructions

General
This summary is a compilation of the most important regulations. These are broken down into main sec-
tions which contain the information necessary for preventing injury to persons, damage to property and
pollution.
The engine operating manual contains further information.

Important:
If, despite all precautions, an accident occurs, in particular through contact with caustic acids, fuel penetrat-
ing the skin, scalding from hot oil, anti-freeze being splashed in the eyes etc., consult a doctor immediately.
Important instructions which concern technical safety and protection of persons are emphasised as shown
below.

Danger:
This refers to working and operating procedures which must be complied with in order to rule out
the risk to persons.

Caution:
Relates to work and operating procedures which must be observed in order to avoid damage to or
destruction of materials.

Note:
Explanatory descriptions which help in understanding the relevant work or operating procedure to
be carried out.

1. Instructions for avoiding accidents likely to cause injury

Only authorized and qualified personnel are permitted to carry out inspection, adjustment and re-
pair work

D Secure and chock vehicles to prevent the vehicle rolling

D Firmly secure units and assemblies on disassembly

D Only authorized personnel are permitted to start and operate the engine

D Do not stand too close to rotating parts while the engine is running. Wear close−fitting
working clothes

D Do not touch hot engine with bare hands: Risk of burning.

ËË
D Keep area surrounding engine, ladders and stairways free of oil and grease. Accidents
caused by slipping can have serious consequences.

3
Safety Instructions

D For safety reasons a separate, functioning red emergency-stop-button for each


engine must be installed at every bridge (the engine must stop immediately when
the button is pressed once).

D Only work with tools which are in good condition. Damaged or worn spanners and
wrenches can slip off: Risk of injury

D Persons must not stand under an engine suspended on a crane hook. Keep lifting gear
in perfect condition.

D Open the coolant circuit only when the engine has cooled down. Follow the instructions
given under “Care and Maintenance” in the Operating Manual exactly if it is not possible
to avoid opening the coolant circuit with the engine at operating temperature.

D Neither tighten up nor open pipes and hoses (lube oil circuit, coolant circuit and any
downstream hydraulic fluid circuit) during the operation. Danger of injury caused byli-
quids escaping under pressure.

D Do not hold hands under the fuel jet when che#king injection nozzles. Do not inhale fuel
mist.

D Always disconnect battery when working on the electrical system.

D Do not use rapid charger to start the engine! Rapid charging of batteries is only permit-
ted with the positive and negative leads disconnected!

D Disconnect batteries only with the “ignition” turned off

D Comply with the manufacturer’s instructions when handling batteries.


Caution:
Battery acid is toxic and corrosive. Battery gasses are explosive.

D Only use suitable measuring instruments to measure voltages The minimum input re-
sistance of a measuring instrument should be 10 MW.

D Only disconnect or connect wiring harness connectors on electronic control units only
with the “ignition” turned off!

Disconnect batteries and connect the positive lead to the negative lead such that they are
electrically conductive before carrying out any electric welding work. Earth the welding set
as close to the weld as possible. Do not place cables of welding set parallel to electrical
lines in the vehicle.

Refer to the “Welders’ Code of Practice” for further accident prevention measures.

D When carrying out repaint jobs, electronic components may be subject to high tem-
peratures (max. 95°C) for only very short periods; a period of up to approx. 2 hours is
permissible at a max. temperature of 85°C disconnect batteries.

Safety Instructions

The system and its components may only be installed and commissioned according to the
instructions of this manual.

The system is designed for the control of diesel engines. If it is applied for gasoline or gas
engines, the system components must be installed beyond the explosive range. The in-
structions for explosive areas must be observed.

The system may only be operated if every control station is provided with a separate en-
gine emergency stop facility.

The control parameters may only be modified with standing propulsion engine and without
navigation of the vessel(when the vessel is anchored or moored ashore).If fine adjust-
ments are necessary during the sea trials, they may only be made in co−ordination with
the captain.Furthermore, appropriate measures are to be taken to prevent that faulty en-
tries during parameterization lead to a lossof control of the ship. The safety of the crew
and other ships must not be endangered..

If an actuator is connected, the admissible cable length of the power supply between bat-
tery and device will be limited to10 m in case of a wire cross-section of 2.5 mm2.For all
other applications a minimum cross-section of the power supply cable of 1.5 mm2 is re-
commended.

Limitation of liability for parts and accessories


In your own interest, we strongly recommend you use only accessories and original MAN parts expressly
approved by MAN for your MAN engine. The reliability, safety and suitability of these parts and accessories
have been tested specially for MAN engines. Despite us keeping a constant eye on the market, we cannot
assess and be held responsible for these properties in other products, even if they bear TÜV (Germantest-
ing and inspection institute) approval or any other official approval in any particular case.

Laying up or storage
Special measures must be implemented in accordance with MAN Company Standard M 3069 Part 3 if en-
gines are to be laid up or placed into storage for more than 3 months.

Leitungen
On each CAN bus cable the MAN type numbers and the date of production are imprinted.
Example : /MAN 51.25449−0056 2 m MPC/ R4199800177 44.04

Terminating resistors
The terminating resistors are integrated in M12 plugs with male and female contacts. They are connected
instead of a cable to the same device connectors of the control head.
In principle, only the terminating plugs with male contacts 8941054264 are required.

Note:
When connecting the M12 cables, please pay attention that they are installed in the right position,
as one end is provided with a male contact while the other end has a female contact. For the CAN
bus connection to the control heads the male contacts must be plugged into the junction box, the
female contacts must be connected to the control head. If the bus continues to another control
head, the cable will again be plugged into the previous bus participant (control head) with the male
contacts und to the following one with the female contacts.

Visual check of CAN bus wiring

System overview
A Marex MPC-CR system consists of at least one type 240 control head and one MPC control unit located
in the MAN junction box.
The control heads and MPC are connected with shielded M12 CAN bus cables.
During wiring pay attention that the CAN bus cable between the MPC and the respective control heads is
not crossed. This might happen easily when attaching the cables.The terminating resistors are to be at-
tached as below resp. activated by dip switches (for details see page 11)

Check of M12 cables


Use only shielded CAN bus cables with a minimum wire gauge of 22 AWG (0,34 mm2) for the connection
between the control heads and the MAN junction box as well as between the MAN junction boxes. The use
of other M12 cables endangers the proper function of the system.

Note:
MAN cables with type number 51.25449−005x meet these requirements. Verify cable numbers be-
fore installation (see page 8)

10
Visual check of CAN bus wiring

Activation of terminating resistors by DIP switches S1 and S2


The CAN bus system must be terminated at each end with a 120 resistance. Without this resistance the
CAN bus signal is degraded, which might result in a complete failure of the CAN bus communication in the
worst case.
If the MPC is located at the end of a CAN bus cable, you will not need to use separate terminating resistors
as for the control heads (see page 12), but the terminating resistors integrated in the MPC printed circuit
board must be activated by means ofdip switches.
In the state of delivery the terminating resistors are activated.

DIP switch to right position = terminating resistor active


Example of a twin-engine system:
S1 to the right (CAN bus to control heads)
S2 to the right (cross communication to the MPC of the next engine)

Caution:
In case of larger systems with more than 2 combustion engines, for the cross communication CAN
bus theterminating resistors may only be activated at exactly 2 MPC controls (dip switch S2 to the
right). Thisconcerns the MPCs located at the CAN bus ends (for this see example page 10).

11
Visual check of CAN bus wiring

CAN bus connections at the MAN junction box


At connector X15 of the MAN junction box the CAN bus cable to the control head(s) of one propulsion side
(PS or SB)is plugged in.
For connection of the CAN bus cable for cross communication 2 connectors are provided at each MAN
junction box. In this way the CAN bus can be continued in case of special systems with more than 2 propul-
sion engines. Both connectors X14 and X13 are totally equal and can be used alternatively. The connector
which is not used must be covered with a proper cap.

X13: CAN bus cross communication X15: CAN bus control head

X14: CAN bus cross communication

Caution:
Connectors which are not used must be
covered with a proper cap.
For this use the caps supplied with the
control head type 240.

the supplied caps.

12
Modification of system parameters

To allow a flexible adaptation of the MPC to the most different applications and requirements, the MPC has
a multitude of system parameters. By these parameters a permanent adaptation and adjustment of the
control to the application can be carried out.
For this the MPC is provided with 2 operating buttons and a 2-line display.
The buttons’ and the display’s handling is explained in the following.

Indication of special characters in the display


In the right upper corner of the display flashing special characters are shown from time to time. Their signi-
fication is explained in the following table:
S STORE The MPC control must not be switched off in this state, otherwise parameter
modifications will be lost.The procedure of storage takes approx. 30 s after the
last parameter change.
E ERROR As long as the “E” is flashing, there is at least one error existent on the MPC
control (for details see page 49)

Registration and configuration of control heads

Each component in a CAN bus system must have its own ID. This ID corresponds to a house number in
the broadest sense. The components of the control communicate by addressing each other with this house
number. During the setting of IDs each control head is introduced to the control.
As for each ship propulsion a separate MPC is required, it must be taken into account during the setting of
the control head IDs at which control station the respective control head is located. Only in this way the
MPCs can carry out the control station administration correctly so that e. g. a simultaneous command
transfer jointly for all propulsion chains is possible.
Furthermore, in case of an error the MPC display shows messages sometimes referring to a certain control
station to allow an easy and quick removal of the error. For this reason, we recommend to attach import-
ance during commissioning to the selection of the most adequate designation for each control station.
The MPC offers the following designations for the control stations:

MPC designations for control stations Example for the control station’s location
bridge main control station on command bridge
starboard SB nock
portside PS nock
fly open control station above the command bridge
afterdeck afterdeck for parking or fishing
ECR engine control room

Caution:
To avoid errors during the registration of the control stations and at the same time to recognize wir-
ing faults, the registration is carried out separately for each MPC and each control head.

Note:
During automatic ID setting the control heads are assigned fixed IDs. The control station “bridge”
will always get the ID 51, “starboard” the ID 52, etc. if the portside control heads are concerned.
The starboard control heads are assigned IDs 71, 72, etc.

Next step, in case of further control heads are connected: Press “Select” button again in the line “sta-
tion” and choose e. g. control station “fly”.Acknowledge by means of the “Select” button and press
“Command” button at the control head of the control station “fly”.Subsequently check the LEDs at the con-

Complete and store automatic ID setting


To complete the automatic ID setting reset the parameter “setting ID” to “<off>” and acknowledge this by
pressing the “Select” button At the same time the storage of the assigned control head IDs begins,
which is indicated by the inversely flashing S on the display.

Caution:
The control must not be switched off while the S is flashing on the display – loss of parameters.
Furthermore, the control heads also store the assigned IDs at this point. After completion of the ID
setting the control heads must remain switched on for at least 10 s, otherwise there is a risk of
parameter losshere as well.

Caution:
The portside system may only contain the numbers 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 for the control heads.

If this is not the case:


D Check CAN bus wiring, portside CAN bus and starboard CAN bus must not be mixed.
D Repeat registration procedure for this system starting, see page 18.

Registration of starboard control heads


D Switch off portside MPC.
D Switch on starboard MPC.
D Select “system parameters” menu as described, see page 16.
D Follow the instructions of the portside system, see page 19.
The only difference to the portside system are the slightly different control head IDs, which are stored dur-
ing the automatic ID setting.The indication at the control head LEDs, however, is identical because only the
last digit is shown.

Caution:
The menu “CAN bus / control head” may only contain the numbers 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 for the
control heads.
It is absolutely necessary that the same control station designations are selected in the menu “sta-
tion” as for the portside system before and that the corresponding control heads are not inter-
changed during the entry of IDs by means of the ”Command” button.Otherwise problems will arise
later during the commissioning.
After completion of the ID setting it must be observed again that as long as the S S is flashing on
the display the control must not be switched of – loss of parameters.
The control heads must remain switched on for 10 s to prevent them from losing parameters.

Commissioning of cross communication

Test of cross communication


If cross communication is working properly, both levers will take command simultaneously. Both levers
must match the position of the active station. After power up, both levers of a control station must be in
“neutral” to take over command.
D Switch off both systems.
D Switch on both control systems → slow flashing of “Command” LED and buzzer signal.
D Move starboard lever to “full ahead” and portside lever to “neutral”.
D Press “Command” button twice.
Cross communication OK:
The LED of the starboard control head is flashing slowly and the LED of the portside control head is flash-
ing fast.
Command cannot be taken over at this control station.
Cross communication defective:
The LED of the starboard control head is flashing slowly and the LED of the portside control head is lighted
permanently.
Command has been taken over for portside although the starboard side was not yet ready for the transfer
(slow flashing).

Caution:
Moor the vessel properly.
The captain of the vessel is responsible for these tests.
MAN, Bosch Rexroth will not assume liability for any resulting consequences or damage.

Test portside engine


D Moor the vessel properly and make sure that no one is working on the propulsion engine.
D Activate “warming up” at the active control station.For this, move control head lever to “neutral” first.
Then keep “Command” button pushed down while moving the lever to1st detent ahead.In “warming up”
mode there is no gear engagement. This state is indicated by flashing of the LED “portside commandac-
tive“.
D Start only portside engine.
D Carefully increase rpm by means of the portside lever → portside rpm gauge must increase.
D Switch off “warming up” (control head lever in “neutral” position).
D Temporarily move lever to 1st detent ahead, then return to neutral. → Did the boat move forward?
D Temporarily move lever to 1st detent astern, then return to neutral. → Did the boat move backward?
D Switch engine off.
D If the rotation direction of the propeller has to be changed, the solenoid valve connectors on the gearbox
must be exchanged. In case of doubt confer with MAN. Repeat engine test.

27
Trolling gears

Powerful ship engines with reversing gears have a limited ability to maneuver slowly. Very often they must
work with short gear engagements.
A trolling gear improves this slow maneuvering ability. This function can be compared with slipping the
clutch in your car. If trolling mode is activated, there is an adjustable slip between engine and propeller. The
engine rpm is reduced before being transferred to the propeller.
To protect the trolling gear optimally both propulsions, SB and PS, must be in “neutral” (control heads in
“neutral” position), to switch trolling on or off by means of the button Syn./Trol. (see page 6) Trolling can
only be activated or deactivated at the active control station.
The slip depends on the control head position. In 1st detent the clutch slip is approx. 99 %, the propeller is
rotating very slowly. In “full ahead/astern” the clutch is nearly full engaged.

The gear manufacturer has determined the maximum engine speed for the trolling gear. This range should
not be exceeded, otherwise the gear can be destroyed.
In the MAN parameter set the engine is therefore operated with an idle speed of approx. 600 rpm in trolling
mode. This value should not be changed.

Caution:
The operation parameters mentioned in the gear manufacturer’s manual must be observed exactly
to protect the gear from damage (gear oil pressure, valve current, engine rpm).

General description for adjustment of trolling gears


This chapter describes in general how the MAN junction box is to be connected to a trolling gear and what
adjustments have to made on the MPC for this purpose.
To go into more detail regarding the specific adjustment of some customary gears, see page 35. If your
gears are listed there, chapter can be skipped for the adjustment.

Trolling outputs
Trolling gears are equipped with different interfaces for the control, which can be electrical or mechanical,
whereas for electrical actuation there are several types of interfaces available on the market. For this rea-
son the MPC offers several possibilities to control trolling gears.
All necessary signals for trolling are provided at connector X8.

Note:
This chapter describes the MPC trolling outputs in general.
To inform about the complete adjustments for common gears, see page 35.

4−20 mA / 0−10 V output


The MPC analog output 2 (ID99 AO2) is intended for the control of trolling gears with upstream electronics,
which are equipped with a “standardized” 4−20 mA interface or voltage input.This output is parameterizable
with regard to its lower as well as higher limits. In this way it is also adequate for interfaces requiring e. g.
1.4−3.2 V.

Note:
Analog output 2 allows the adjustments “4−20mA”, “0−20 mA”, “2−10 V”, “0−10 V”, and “PWM”.
The adjustment “PWM” is a special configuration and will therefore not be explained in more detail
here.
A monitoring of the output with regard to broken wire will only be carried out if the adjustment is
“4−20 mA”.

Proportional valve output


The MPC analog output 1 (ID99 AO1) offers the possibility to control a proportional valve by which the hy-
draulic pressure for the trolling gear’s clutch can be infinitely adjusted. This output can drive a max. current
of 3 A.

Caution:
For EMC reasons X8 is used for trolling output.The wiring of this output in the junction box must not
be changed (e. g. to X1), even if this would simplify the wiring.

To check the trolling valve coil measure the coil resistance at connector X8. This value should be between
6 and 12 Ω.

D During the finishing commissioning it must be ensured by means of a pressure gauge that the max. gear
oil pressure isnot exceeded (see gear manufacturer’s manual).
D The trolling valve has to be connected to connector X8 in a potential-free way. The other gear solenoid
valves must not have any electrical connection to X8 pin 1 or X8 pin 2. Particular attention should be
paid to the wiring in the gear junction box.
D The max. trolling valve current must not be exceeded (see gear manual), otherwise the coil might burn
up. For current test an ampere meter is to be connected between X8 pin 2 and the valve.
D If during connection of the valve X8 pin 1 and X8 pin 2 are interchanged, current flow and polarity of the
magnetic field are reversed in the trolling valve. The ampere meter will show correct values, but in case
of some gears trolling might not function properly.

can be corrected by slightly adapting the proportional valve resistance in the menu for the valve
characteristics (see above).
If the current is too low, the entry for resistance must be increased, whereas it must be decreased,
if the current is too high.
Usually, this step is not necessary because the control automatically balances resistance changes
at the proportional valve due to temperature variation. This readjustment, however, is limited for
safety reasons and will not work optimally if the entered value varies too much from the actual re-
sistance.

Digital trolling output


Some gears require in addition to the analog trolling signal, 4−20 mA, proportional valve etc. also a digital
signal to shift from reversing gear to trolling. Here, often a valve is switched directly, but electronic inputs,
like e. g. in case of the Quick Shift gears by Twin Disc, must be controlled as well.
For these gears a potential−free contact is provided at X8 pin 4 and X8 pin 5 by which the valve can be
switched or the input can be controlled.
This output is actuated when trolling is active. As the output is passive, an external power supply is re-
quired.

Adjustment of ZF-Padova trolling gears

Caution:
The gear data are to be taken as an example for parameterization. Bosch Rexroth do not guaran-
tee for the correctness of these data. The operating parameters given in the gear manufacturer’s
manual should in any case be kept during parameterization to protect the gear from damage.

Gears of the type series ZF 650, ZF W 650, ZF 650 A, ZF 650 V, ZF 660, ZF 660 A, ZF 660 V, ZF 670, ZF
670 A, ZF 670 V by ZF-Padova are controlled by a proportional valve in trolling mode. The shift to revers-
ing gear mode is realized automatically, as soon as the power supply of the proportional valve is switched
off.
Data used in this example (without engagement):
200 mA = 100 % slip, 300 mA = 0 % slip, 0 mA = trolling off
PWM frequency = 250 Hz, voltage = 12 V, resistance = 9.8 Ω

Note:
The proportional valve currents for 0 % and 100 % slip can slightly deviate in practice from the de-
fault values because the propulsion’s design, like propeller, gear ratio, etc., affects the transmission
torque.

D Measure solenoid coil resistance; if the resistance differs more than 2 Ω, confer with the gear manufac-
turer (see page 31).

Caution:
In case of ZF-Padova gears the proportional valve will transfer the full operating pressure of ap-
prox. 20 bar to the clutch if the current is lower than approx. 80 mA. This would lead to the same
result as a skipping clutch in your car.
For this reason the minimum current of the proportional valve should not be unnecessarily reduced
in trolling mode. Also consider the increase of the resistance of a hot trolling valve.

Adjustment of Twin Disc MGX ETROLL trolling gears

Caution:
The gear data are to be taken as an example for parameterization. Bosch Rexroth do not guaran-
tee for the correctness of these data. The operating parameters given in the gear manufacturer’s
manual should in any case be kept during parameterization to protect the gear from damage.

Quick Shift gears with the control module ETROLL by Twin Disc are equipped with 2 proportional valves
only. Via a control module attached to the gear valve manifold called ETROLL all known inputs for a trolling
gear are provided (gears ahead, gears astern, trolling on, trolling signal 4−20 mA).
A control program in the control module ETROLL provides for the gear-specific control of the proportional
valves and in addition it protects the gear and clutch in trolling mode against increased wear, which can
arise from high speeds.

Synchronisation

The synchronisation mode shall be an assistance for the skipper if he wants to drive both diesel engines
with the same rpm without adjustment of the control heads to exactly the same position.
Synchronisation is activated in the same way as trolling by means of the “Syn./Trol.” button (see page 6).
Synchronisation is not possible when trolling is active.
D Button “3” is entered as activation key in the parameter option “key”.This adjustment may only be car-
ried out on the system that shall set the rpm and become synchronisation master, e. g. the starboard
system..

To activate synchronisation move both control heads of the active control station to “ahead” and activate
the Syn./Trol. button. If the control heads’ positions differ less than 10 %, the engines will be synchron-
ized.
Press Syn./Trol. button again or move one of the levers to “neutral” or “astern”, and the function will be
deactivated.
If synchronisation function is active, this will be indicated by a steady light of the “Synchro” LED (see page
6) at all connected control heads. In addition, the light of the “Command” LED at the synchronisation slave
will go off to signal that the corresponding control head is not setting the speed level at present.
When the “Synchro” LED is flashing, this means that synchronisation function is switched on, but not oper-
ating at present because, for example, the control head levers of both systems deviate more than 10 %. As
soon as the levers have come close enough to each other again, synchronisation will automatically start
operating again.
As an additional feature the synchronisation mode also allows a single-lever operation. For this, the control
head of the synchronisation slave is moved to “1st detent ahead”. Before, synchronisation must be en-
gaged, i. e. the positions of the two control heads must not deviate more than 10 %. This is indicated by a
permanent light of the “Synchro” LED. Now both engines can be adjusted over the entire rpm range syn-
chronously by means of the control head of the synchronisation master.

Reversing maneuver ahead astern

Reversing maneuver ahead − astern

Caution:
These parameters can only be determined during sea trials.
The captain is responsible for all consequences of this test.

During a reversing maneuver the rotation direction of the propeller is inverted. If the vessel is cruising
through the water,the declutched propeller will be driven by the force of the moving water. This propeller
rotation increases the reverse torque.
During reversing the engine can raise the reverse torque only up to a certain ship speed. The control must
therefore beadjusted in such a way that the engine will not be stalled after clutch engagement in the other
rotation direction.
If the ship is cruising at low speed, the reversing maneuver can normally be carried out without taking any
particularmeasures. In case of higher speed the remote control must wait until the vessel decelerates.
For this reason, the remote control permanently calculates the current ship speed from the command set-
ting of the controlhead.

Determination of the max. speed for reversal

Caution:
During this test do not gather way in astern direction, as the vessel’s stern might be pressed under
water and water could flow into the exhaust pipe.

The possible ship velocity for reversals must be determined by means of several reversing maneuvers. In
practice the following procedure has approved itself::
D Starting with 8 kn ahead and increasing by small steps (1 kn), carry out several reversing maneuvers
AHEAD – ASTERN.
D Measure the speed where the engine first loses rpm during clutch engagement (approx. 500−550 rpm).
D This speed is entered in parameter “cal. speed”.

Reversing maneuver ahead astern

Parameters for calculation of the ship velocity


From three parameters to be determined during sea trials the control automatically calculates the current
ship speed with the aid of the present control head position.
These parameters are necessary for the control to react properly in case of a reversing maneuver for
example.
In this way the velocities for clutch disengagement and clutch engagement are calculated. Only if these
three parameters are adjusted accurately, the engine can no longer be stalled during reversing maneuvers.

Error states of the “marex OS II”-system


The “marex OS II”-system distinguishes three error states, which depending on the kind of error have a
different influence onthe system’s control function.

J Warning
In case of a warning, the alarm lamp (LED) at the
control stations is activated. A buzzer signal is not
issued as there is no direct impairment of the con- Warning

A typical error of the category “Warning” is an error
at a passivecontrol station.
The error display can be used to determine the
cause of the warning (see page 52).

J Alarm-light
In case of an “alarm-light”, the control function of
the system isrestricted. Thus, an acoustic alarm is
issued by the buzzer resp. by aconnected alarm
system. The alarm lamp (LED) is activated. If the-
buzzer at the control station is activated, it can be

J Alarm
In case of an alarm, the current control status of
the propulsion system can no longer be modified.
The system keeps the last command. In order to
indicate this serious control failure, an acoustic
signal is issued by the buzzer of the control system
or of the connected alarm system. The alarm lamp
(LED) is activated. If the buzzer at the control sta-
tion is activated, it can be deactivated (acknowl- Alarm

The error display can be used to determine the
cause of the “alarm” (see page 50). In this chapter,
the consequences of theerror (usually an impair-
ment of the control function) can be reviewed.

Error indication and diagnosis

Indication of errors at the control stations with type 240 control heads
In case of type 240 control heads errors are indicated separately for portside and starboard system. For
this purpose, there are two red alarm LEDs on the indication module of the control head. In case of a
single-engine system both alarm LEDs are energized at the same time.
The control head has an integrated buzzer which can be activated among others for acoustic signaling of
an error. By means of the “Command” button, the alarm can be acknowledged, irrespective of the system
side which indicated the error. If the buzzer has been activated before, it will be turned off on acknowledge-
ment.

Indication of old errors(from V4.12M)


To facilitate the search for errors on the CR-MPC control unit for the service technician a permanent mem-
ory of old errors is integrated. “Permanent” means that the errors remain stored also after switching the
control off. The memory of old errors can contain up to 10 errors. If subsequently another error occurs, the
first entry will be overwritten.A further error would overwrite the second entry, etc.
By means of this ring buffer the last 10 errors can thus always be recalled.
The old errors are stored in the known form, clear text with error number (see page 51). In addition, a time
stampindicating when the error occurred is deposited as well.
The time stamp is divided into a counter that records the time after the last switch-on of the control unit and
a second counter which counts how often the control unit was switched on.
Although the exact point of time when the error occurred cannot be traced back, an approximate determi-
nation of the time is possible by comparing the stored time stamp with the current one.

Example of a time stamp structure


The time stamp indicates the following:
counter D: H: M: S counter = 4 The control unit has been switched on for the fourth
time.

Delete list of old errors(from V4.12M)


The list of old errors can be completely deleted. This can sometimes be very helpful for the error search or
simply in order to hand over a faultless system to the customer after a service performance.

D Starting from operating display you reach the delete function via “old error display” and “clear display” by
pressing and turning the “Select” button. Confirm the deletion of the list of old errors by selecting “yes”.

Note:
It is recommended to delete the list of old errors after a successful commissioning.
In this way you can easily see at a later point in time whether any irregularities with the control
arose in themeantime.

Error indication and diagnosis

MPC error messages


When a new error occurs, the following two options of the MPC are to be distinguished:
J Alarm system connected
If an alarm system is provided, the marex OS II system will not issue a buzzer signal in case of an error. As
the alarm system receives an error signal via the alarm relay of the MPC, the acoustic signal is issued by
the alarm system. In case of an error, the error indication will immediately derive.
J No alarm system connected (MAN presetting)
If there is no alarm system provided, the MPC will issue a buzzer signal at the active control station. This
signal must be acknowledged by means of the ”Command” button at the control head. After acknowledge-
ment the MPC display automatically changes into error display.
In case of an error the error occurred last will appear on the top of the error list. A new error is shown in a
flashing way first. The user has to acknowledge the error message by turning the “Select” button until the
cursor is placed on the error message that shall be acknowledged (the cursor is always placed on the last
occurred error) and then pressing the “Select” button. After this visual acknowledgement, the error mess-
age will no longer be flashing.
If the list of errors is longer than the 2−line display can show, this will be indicated by an arrow ↑ or ↓. By
turning the “Select” button you can scroll through the entire list of error messages.
An error message will disappear from the display as soon as the error has been visually acknowledged and
removed. If the current command was frozen due to the error, the control head levers must be in “neutral”
additionally to make the error message disappear.
If there is no error message, the error display will show “no error”.
ESC

To quit the error display press “Escape” button or place the cursor on the line “ESC < >” and press “Se-
lect” button. The indication will return to the display form (operating display, start-up display) which was
active before the error occurred.
In case of an error the display will show the respective message, e. g.:

device’s sub−ID (extension bus)

Note:
For devices with a CAN ID larger than 99 the ID is indicated in 3 digits. The error code is accord-

1. Open the CAN bus, for example by pulling connector X15 out of the junction box.
2. Measure the resistance at the CAN bus connection of the junction box X15 between pin 4 and pin 5
(must be 120 Ω, otherwise the dip switch in the CR-MPC has not been set or there is a short circuit resp.
broken wire in the CAN bus).
3. Measure the resistance at connector X15 between pin 4 and pin 5 (must be 120 Ω, otherwise the ter-
minating resistor is missing or there is a short circuit resp. broken wire in the CAN bus).

This test can be repeated at any connector of the CAN bus.

Hints regarding measurement technique and the test of devices

Continuity test
By testing the CAN bus terminating resistor it cannot be checked, whether the pin contacts have been in-
terchanged (connector pin 4 connected to bushing pin 5 or vice versa). Furthermore, it cannot be recog-
nized whether the other 3 cables are wired. For this a continuity test is necessary, which can be carried out
in 3 alternative ways.

Option 1: 1 4 4 1

The test is to be carried out as follows: 2 3 3 2

the other wires (resistance infinity ∞Ω) This also r

refers to the shielding.


GND I+ U+

If the CAN bus cables have already been laid through the vessel, it can be very laborious in parts to carry
out such a continuity test. A connection from one end of the CAN bus cable to the other one can go
through the entire ship so that the measuring tool must be connected with both ends. Often the provided
measuring cables are not long enough to carry out such a test. In this case options 2 and 3 are to be ap-
plied preferably.

Option 2: buzzer in caseof continu-


ity

In this case it is assumed that the shield is cor-


0
rectly connected. This can be checked by means 1 4 CAN bus cable 4 1

of the reference point ship mass:

In addition, it must be checked whether there is a buzzer in caseof continuity

Each continuity and short circuit is to be tested according to option 1. For this at one end (left side) the con-
nection between pin x and the shielding is to adapted respectively.

Option 3: CAN

The easiest and fastest way to test the CAN bus terminating
CAN bus cable CAN +

cable is to apply specific test devices, which are CAN −
GND
available on the market. At one end of the CAN
bus a terminating adapter is attached. At the other
end you can with the help of the test device see
immediately by means of LEDs, which cables are
connected correctly:

Test of the control CR-MPC

Self−test

Caution:
The self-test of the CR-MPC must not be carried out when the propulsion engine is running.For
safety reasons the connections to the gearbox should be interrupted by loosening connectors X3
and X8 from the MAN junction box..
The self-test may only be applied in the way described here.
The menu items in “white letters” must not be called.

If during the check of the CAN bus cables no error has been stated, by means of the self−test the function
of the two CR-MPC CAN buses within the MAN junction box can be tested.

LED indications on the main board


The CR-MPC main board has a number of LEDs. The LEDs of the in− and outputs as well as the LED to
check the power supply of the type 240/241/251 control heads are directly visible. Further LEDs (operating
voltage processor core, control AO 1) can be read after opening the cover of the CR-MPC.
The signification of the LEDs can be taken from the following figure:

analog output actuator relay outputs frequency input digital inputs CARD

The LEDs of the in− and outputs are lighted when a signal is active. The LEDs “+5V”, “Mot” and “LEVER”
must be permanently lighted when the CR-MPC operates correctly.
The LED ”frequency input” is lighted, when there is a valid signal at frequency input AI 2. Should this LED
not be lighted with running propulsion engine, pay attention that the two dip switches S3.1 and S3.2 are
switched to the left (see page 117).
If the LED “operating voltage processor core ok” is not lighted, this might be due to a failure of the internal
fuse on the main board.

Note:
A replacement fuse is attached inside the top cover.

Connections and test points


The CR-MPC control provides all in− and output connections of the ribbon cable connectors X1 up to X3
via test points (see figure). All test points are in a row and are numbered from 1 to 42. The numbers are
located on the margin of the electronic board. On the cover foil of the CR-MPC these numbers are re-
peated; there is also a short description of the test points.
