Part 1: Function and Operation Function

Part 1: Function and Operation

1.0 Function

The Stein Sohn Engine Telegraph System represents the communication me-
dium between the bridge, the engine and the emergency console.

The main telegraph is installed on the bridge. Further control levers can be Properties
installed on the bridge wings, connected to the bridge telegraph telemetri-
cally by means of a "Electrical Shaft" and can thus also function as Master
units, i.e. are in a position to take over command . Integrated LEOs cause the
related pushbutton to light up if activated .

The counterpart to the bridge telegraph is the Engine Control Room (ECR)
telegraph. An acknowledgeable repeater is installed at the emergency con-
sole for continuously indicating the position of the bridge telegraph. If re-
quired, it can work in conjunction with the bridge telegraph as an Engine
telegraph .

Further moving coil repeaters can be installed at various positions through-

out the ship.

The bridge and engine control room telegraphs can be used in 2 different
modes of operation :

as remote engine control levers

as engine telegraphs

The telegraph system is of modular construction, whereby the individual Bus system
components are inter-connected by means of a bus system .

2.0 Operating Modes

The Engine Telegraph system can be operated in 2 different modes:

as a speed control lever; i.e. as a remote engine control le-

ver
as an Engine Telegraph

Operating Modes Part 1: Function and Operation

2.1 Operation as a Remote Engine Control Lever

In this mode, the bridge telegraph supplies a speed setpoint, via an integrat-
ed potentiometer, to the main engine's remote control system. The bridge
telegraph can in turn be remotely controlled by the wing control levers.

Electrical Shaft The wing control levers are telemetrically connected to the bridge telegraph
by an "Electrical Shaft" . In this manner, the lever positions of the bridge
telegraph and wing control levers are always synchronous. The "Electrical
Shaft" is an independent subsystem which can be switched OFF when not
required .

In the remote engine control/ever mode, the telegraphs in the Engine and
engine control room operate merely as repeaters .

Short ringing im- A short ringing impulse in the remote-control mode provides for signalling
pulse
at the ECR and the ERin case the bridge lever position was changed- pro-
vided, that the short ringing impulse is activated.

2.1.1 Switching the Electrical Shaft ON/OFF

The "Electrical Svstem" is switched ON/OFF by pressing the illuminated
pushbutton WING
CONTROL
on the bridge telegraph.
ON /OFF

2.1.2 Transferring Control

The following describes how control is transferred from a wing control lever
to the bridge telegraph and vice-versa; i.e. from the bridge telegraph to one
of the two wing control levers. If the system is switched on, the bridge tele-
graph automatically becomes the master of the system .

2.1.2.1 Transferring Control to the Wing Control Lever

The procedure to be followed to transfer control to one of the two wing
control levers depends upon the type of control lever (fitted with or without
motor).

In general, a telegraph system is made up of the following individual com-

ponents:

• mtBUS Controller
• Bridge telegraph
• Wing control levers (Port and Starboard)
• Telegraph in the Engine Control Room (ECR)
• acknowledgeable repeater at the emergency control stand

Design Part 1: Function and Operation

3.1 mtBUS Controller

The mtBUS Controller supervises the flow of data traffic on the mtBUS. It
receives status messages from the various control levers connected and
places them at the disposal of the central monitoring system. The following
contacts are supplied:

Wrong-way contact, which activates an alarm if the di-

rection of motion demanded by the bridge telegraph is in
opposition to the direction of rotati on of the propeller
shaft at that point in time .

Call-up contact, which activates acoustic and visual

alarms if the bridge telegraph and ECR or ER telegraphs
are out of synchronization.

Failure contact, activated in case there is a problem with

the Engine telegraph system.

Input, to set the Engine tel egraph system to the remote

control mode

Input, to select the communication partner for the

bridge telegraph when operating in the Engine t elegraph
mode

The mtBUS controller ensures that a system error causes the push buttons on
the wing levers to start blinking and the scales to be illuminated.

The ECR telegraph usually represents the communication partner of the
bridge telegraph. In case the system configuration comprises two ER tele-
graphs, the ECR telegraph has an additional TAKE CONTROL I ON SERVICE
pushbutton as illustrated below.

3.3.1 Take Control I On Service-Illuminated Pushbutton

As in the case of two ECR telegraphs and two ER telegraphs the master
switchover is realized via the integrated TAKE CONTROL I ON SERVICE- TAKE
CONTROL
pushbutton, in this system configuration the frontplate of the ECR telegraph ON SERVIC
differs from that of the standard ECR telegraph in that it additionally houses
the Take Control I On Service-pushbutton.

Design Part 1: Function and Operation

3.4 Wing Control Levers

The wing control levers serve to remotely control the bridge telegraph.

Electrical Shaft The position of the bridge telegraph and wing control levers are synchro-
nized by means of the "Electrical Shaft"; i.e. the bridge telegraph and wing
control levers always indicate the same position. This is only valid for wing
control levers fitted with a motor.

The wing control lever is used to assume remote control of the bridge tele-
graph from either the port or starboard wing .

Fig . 1-6 Front View of a Wing Control Lever

As shown in the Figure above, the front plate of a wing control lever is fitted
with the following indicators and operating elements:

• two arrowed push buttons to synchronize with the current bridge

telegraph lever position (only for levers without a motor)
• an illumin ated green indicator " Electrical Shaft ON/OFF"
• a rotaty dimmer control knob
• an illuminated white "Take Control I On Service" pushbutton

3.4.4 Rotary Dimmer Control Knob

The desired level of illumination of the position indicator and pushbuttons
can be achieved by turning the rotary dimmer control knob.

The repeater indicates the current position of the Master telegraph. It is also
provided with an acknowledge function. In this section it will be referred to
simply as the repeater.

If the repeater is operating in the Engine telegraph mode, to communicate

with the Master telegraph (either the bridge telegraph or one of the wing
control levers), the commands given by the Master telegraph can be ac-
knowledged by pressing the appropriate pushbutton.

3.5 Acknowledgeable Repeater I Emergency Telegraph

The telegraph illustrated in fig . 1-7 indicates the position of the bridge tele-
graph at any given time and can be used as both, acknowledgeable repeater
and emergency telegraph .

If the repeater is in the Engine telegraph mode and selected as the bridge
telegraph's communication partner, bridge telegraph commands can be ac-
knowledged by pressing the appropriate button .

The repeater provides a contact for an acoustic alarm (bell or electronic

sound generator), which will be activated if Master and Slave lever positions
are out of synchronization when operating as Engine telegraphs .

mtBus Part 1: Function and Operation

This pushbutton is the counterpart to the above pushbutton. If pressed, the

command for "Finish with Engine" is acknowledged; i.e . no more orders are
to be expected and all systems can be shut down.

In the engine telegraph mode, this illuminated pushbutton indicates that

the acknowledgeable repeater has been selected to function as the commu-
nication partner of the bridge telegraph.

If the system configuration consists of 2 ER telegraphs, this component is

designed as an illuminated pushbutton for realizing the master switchover.

Pressing this pushbutton causing the brightness of the illuminated indicators

to be increased or decreased. In the emergency telegraph operation where
emergency telegraphs are installed on the bridge, in the ECR and/or the ER,
only the brightness of the bridge- and the wing telegraphs can be set.

c::J~ left while keeping both of them pressed) initiates a lamp test, causing all
LEOs to light up one after the other.

3.5.1 Acknowledging
It is only possible to acknowledge commands at the repeater if the system
is being operated in the Engine telegraph mode and if the repeater was se-
lected to function as the communication partner.

A potentially isolated RS485 Bus system which provides a network environ-

ment for the Engine telegraph system's individual components.

The mtBUS requires a 4-wire cable, whereby two wires serve to transf er data
and two wires provide the power supply voltage for the Bus.

This 5-pole terminal block is used to connect the mtBus controller to the mt-
BUS. The centre terminal (13) must be connected to the Bus cable's screen.

The call-up contact is connected to terminals 21 and 22. This serves to ac-
tivate acoustic and visual alarms when operating in the Engine Telegraph
mode. The alarm indicates that the lever positions of the bridge telegraph
and the telegraph in the ER or ECR are out of synchronization.

In the telegraph mode the call-up contact is connected to terminals 21 and 2 r

'---

22. This serves to activate acoustic and visual alarms when operating in the 1 ''---
Engine Telegraph mode. The alarm indicates that the lever positions of the
bridge telegraph and the telegraph in the ER or ECR are out of synchroniza- ''---
tion. The contact is closed, when the call-up alarm is activated.

In the remote-control mode the terminals 21 and 22 are used for the short
ringing impulse, which signals at the ECR lever and the ER lever a change of
the bridge lever position.

The type of signalling (call-up contact or short ringing impulse) depends on

the settings of the 57 configuration switch on the controller.

The possible settings together with their meaning are described in chapter
"3.1.3" on page 2-7.

1.0 Preventive Maintenance

Stein Sohn's Engine Order Telegraph System does not require any mainte-
nance actions. In order to safeguard, that the LEDs of the display elements
function properly, a lamp test should be performed in regular intervals.

1.1 Lamp Test

1.1.1 Lamp Test at the Engine Telegraphs

The lamp test should be performed as follows :

• Keep pushbutton "Take Control I On Service" pressed

for more than 3 seconds approximately.

As long as the pushbutton is pressed, all display elements should be lit with
full brightness . This only applies to the bridge and wing control levers.

1.1.2 Lamp Test at the Acknowledgeable Repeater

The lamp test at the Acknowledgeable Repeater is to be performed as fol -
lows:

• First press the the ~-pushbutton .

•
I
Then press the B pushbutton without releasing the
se~ce ) pushbutton and keep both pushbuttons pressed .

2.0 Troubleshooting

2.1 General
In case of an alarm the wing control levers and the engine telegraph on the
second bridge- if existing -start blinking. At the same time, a respective er-
ror message is displayed on the LC display of the mtBUS-Controller.
The troubleshooting procedures as described below shall help to locate an
error in case of the system's malfunction and to put the user in the position
to eliminate it if possible.

2.5 Error Elimination

In the following paragraphs the procedures for performing the actions de-
scribed in chapter 3.3 are described.

2.5.1 Alignment ....... ERRORS

In case the error message PARAMETER LOST occurs, an alignment
must be performed. Depending on which unit is erroneous, lever potenti-
ometer, pointer and/or power output for the repeater(s) must be aligned.

2.5.1.1 Aligning the Telegraph's Potentiometer

The control lever potentiometer serves to register the position of the ope-
rating lever on telegraphs and must always be aligned when operating a
telegraph for the first time. The voltage values corresponding to the various
lever positions are stored and used for reference during operation. The LEOs
located above the service switches indicate the respective action. The type
of lever configuration determines, which LED lights up.

Part 3: Troubleshooting and Repair Repair

3.0 Repair

3.1 General

The Stein Sohn repair philosophy states that the smallest replaceable items,
to be replaced should a fault in the system occur, must be defined. The rou-
tines described in Chapter 3 serve to localize a fault which has occured.

In case a new spare part is needed, you are kindly asked to indicate both,
the type no. marked on the respective component (e.g. bridge control lever)
and the article no. for the respective spare.

The following Sections contain descriptions of how to replace these smallest

replaceable items .

3.2 Replacing the mtBUS Controller

If a fault occurs in the controller, it must be replaced as a complete unit, fol-
lowing the instructions below:

Table 3-6 Replacing the mtBUS Controller

Step Action Remarks

1 Disconnect all external connections.

2 Remove the defective PCB (Pri nted

Circuit Board).

3 Make a note of the OIL switches' These switches serve for setting the
settings. addresses of the components and
for suppressing the short ringing
impulse.

4 Fit the replacement PCB.

5 Set the OIL switches on the replace-

ment PCB to the same as those
noted in step 3 above.

6 Re-connect the external connec-

tions i.a.w . (in accordance with) the
following description .

3.2.1 External Connections

Connect the 24 V DC power supply to terminals 7 and 2.

Connect the cable screen and/or ship's ground to terminal 3 .

The failure contact is connected to terminals 4 and 5. This opens when a

fault in the system occurs or when the supply voltage fa ils, thus indicating
an alarm situation to a higher order alarm system.

Th is 5-pole terminal block is used to connect the mtBUS controller to the mt-
BUS. The centre term inal (13) must be connected to the Bus cable's screen .

The call-up contact is connected to terminals 21 and 22 . This serves to ac-

tivate acoustic and visual alarms when operating in the Engine Telegraph
mode . The alarm indicates that the lever positions of the bridge telegraph
and the telegraph in the ER or ECR are out of synchronization .

Terminals 23, 24 and 25 represent the wrong-way contacts, which acti-

vate an alarm if the direction of motion demanded by the bridge telegraph
is in opposition to the direction of rotation of the propeller shaft at that
point in time.

Terminals 27 and 28 are used, in the Eng ine Telegraph mode to select the
location of the bridge telegraph's counterpart (ER or ECR) .

no voltage: ER
24V: ECR

Term inals 29+30 serve to switch between the Eng ine Telegraph and Remote
