1. System Description
The ACONI5-1000 System is a total control system which interfaces with other
multi-functional alarm monitoring, data acquisition, control system and other
system for ships and offshore vessels based on fully distributed microprocessor
technology
in uniform hardware concept. With its modular system structure; the
system offers a
high degree of reliability and flexibility, which makes it suitable for
large variety of different
types and sizes of ships where efficiency and reliability are
highly significant.
It is adaptable for all types of ships, e.g. bulk carriers, cruise
vessels, container ships, reefers
and other special purpose vessels.
1.1 Introduction
The ACONI5-1000 System has a modular and flexible system structure, with
computer capacity which is fully distributed to all control room stations, by use of a
microprocessor technology. The tasks
in the ACONI5-1000 System are distributed
among sub-stations.
The sub-stations are divided into three groups:
• Process control station : performs interface with process, signal manipulation,
automatic regulation
and control.
•
Operator control station: performs control and supervision.
• Server control station : control the communication
between the other stations
and transverse communication between buses and manage all database over
operator control stations and interface gateway(if GW) and other systems
connected to communication bus.
The controlling
module of a sub-station comprises one 32bit microprocessor
equipped with memory device and communication module. The abbreviation GCM
(General Control Module) is used for this controlling module.
Communication between sub-stations are carried out in a digital serial mode
through a dual bus-system at the high speed of 375,000 bps, giving the system an
updating time of less than 1 second. The communication media uses twisted pair
cable as well as coaxial cable. The bus system of the ACONIS-l000 eliminates the
risk
of total break down of the system caused by earth failure, electro-magnetic
interference
or a broken bus.
Process control stations are connected
with one another by a duplexed process
control
bus system, through the first synchronous interface channel of the
communication
module and its stand-by module. A maximum of 32 process control
stations
can be connected on a bus system. The operator control bus system from
the operator control stations is connected to the second synchronous interface
channel
of the serial communication module. This bus system connects a maximum
of 64 operator control station and one alarm station with one another.
The ACONIS-1000 System is
designed to meet the classification of society's
requirements for a periodically
unmanned engine room operation. The design

lffer~f Manual
System Description
conforms to all rules and regulations, and all types of module are approved. In
addition, the ACONI5-1000 System has high reliability in their systems.
1.1.1 Features
The ACONI5-1000 alarm monitoring and control system is a
microprocessor-based
system designed to provide the ship's officers with all the
basic alarm and status information they require to maintain a safe and efficient
operation of the machinery, especially when unmanned.
The ACONIS-l000 System has the advantage that its structure is designed by
the DCS (Distributed Control System), and each auxiliary storage device in the
microprocessor-based stations has Flash Disk or ROM (Read Only Memory)-based
design. The
structure of the DCS has merit, unlike the Central Control System, all
local control stations
can operate their own local work control. Though a
supervisory control station's break-down could occur, the sequential control works
can keep the entire control process of the system from stopping because of the
supervisory control station's break-down. The auxiliary storage device is a memory
space in which executable code and data can be stored in the microprocessor-based
system,
and disk storage can be used for general purposes.
1.1.2 Installation
Each ACONI5-1000 station has the potential of both central installation and
local installation. Each unit can be installed locally and also all the units together
can be installed in one cabinet.
1.1.3 Man-Machine Interface
Operator control stations provide full colored graphic displays, functional
keyboard and tracker-ball. Graphic user interface in the man-machine interface
provides standard and customized mimics through colored graphic display, and for
each display
including the graphic interface button, the functional keyboard can be
directly handled by the tracker balL
1.1.4 Communication Bus System
The communication bus system of ACONIS-l000 has a basic dual network
structure in which the lower bus system and the upper bus system are separate, and
can work in case of a communication line fault and break-down of communication
devices and stations. The Server control station is the communication master station
in the bus system which connects the lower bus system and the upper bus system
and supervises and controls communication load in the ACONIS-l000 system. The
Server control station is basically a
dual station consisting of the main link station
and the reserve link station. The reserve Server control station has a fault tolerance
by providing hot back-up of data base in the main Server control station.
1.1.5 Unmanned Monitoring
All monitoring and alarm facilities are provided both in the machinery space
and in the Engine Control Room (ECR). Sufficient facilities are also provided for
machinery watch
on the bridge, and a watch-caning subsystem which enables

engineers to be automatically called to the ECR when they are away on watch-call
duty in their quarters. Thus, both the machinery and the ECR may safely be left
unmanned while machinery watch is carried out on the bridge.

1.2 Process Control Station
The process control stations perform the operational center of the ACONIS-1000
system
and each of the stations consist of a process unit and interface unit. The
stand-alone
computers can be equipped with hot back-up when required. Each
process station is
independent and works in parallel with the process which is being
monitored and controlled. With regard to the primary control of process, the
processes control station is the
most important unit in the system. It carries out the
operations
required for keeping the process stable.

1.2.1 Process unit
Each process unit performs logical functions, mathematical calculations, alarm
monitoring, automatic control with different algorithms, motors and valves controL
sequential controls,
group controls, protections and interlocking, linearizations,
different arithmetical operations, etc.
and is independent of a central unit. The
process control station receives
the operator's control commands, uses the
command as reference values and drives the actuators to the desired state.
The control
commands include manualj automatic changeover, start and stop
command, set-point changes etc. The number of process stations is dependent on
the number of functions to be monitored and controlled. The process control station
collects
the process and actuator status information, processes the information when
required, and sends it to the operator control station.
1.2.2 Interface unit
The interface units connect the field instrumentation to the ACONIS-IOOO
system. They also supply the transmitters and provide overvoltage and disturbance
protection.
1.2.3 Structure of Process Control Station
Figure 1.3 illustrates the structure of a process control station. The structure of
the process control station, like that of the entire ACONIS-1000 system, is of a
modular type.
The process control station consists of
the following units:
• MPM
main process module
• PCOM dual CPU embedded process communication module
• PWRM power supply module
• 5MB2/4 system motherboard, for single / double GeM

1.3 Server control Station
The Server control station controls and supervises the data communication
between the stations connected to the process control
bus and operator control bus.
Data transfer at theServer control station is serial. The HDLC protocol is used in the
communications.
The Server control station manages the communication bus system in the
ACONIS-l000 system
and functions as an information server for the operator
control stations, has the features to get
I/O data in the lower part and alarm
information for the process control station,
and has the task of synchronous
function. In addition, the database is installed inside, all the work such as creating a
new event in accordance to I/O data status, and managing information in system,
log information, trend information, alarm display list and inhibit display list, and a
systemclock are carried out.
The Server control station is a
dual station designed by the structure of fault
tolerance. The operator control
bus and the process control bus are designed by the
dual network and each bus is isolated and connected to the Server control station.
Therefore if a break-downoccurs
in one system, it won't effect the other systems.
Because a
bus system is designed by the dual network, when one network has a
problem,
it is automatically replaced by the reserve network in the Server control
station.
During this process, delay and loss of data in the network requiring
replacement never occurs. In
main/reserve substitution, the operator control bus is
dependent of the Server control station, and the process control station bus is
independent of the Server control station. Therefore, the operator control bus is
connected to the main bus system in the main Server control station, and to the
reserve
bus system in the reserve Server control station. Irrespective of this, the
process control
bus is simultaneously connected to the main/ reserve system.
The most
important feature is the consistency of each database installed inside
in case of a main/reserve substitution in the Server control station. This is because
