2. INTRODUCTION
In the Marine & Offshore environment many types of signalling devices are used to inform
the crew of danger or other situations that require immediate attention. According to safety
regulation, a signalling device must be placed on strategic locations, in order to inform the
personnel of a present alarm.
The Signal Column System (SCS)
In order to indicate the ship alarms, the Marpower Signal Column System (SCS) series can
display various alarms according to the safety regulation. Usually a Signal Column will be
used to indicate the alarms and this product is categorized into the display type. The Signal
Column is often combined with a (separate) claxon flashlight(s).
The indication products must be controlled by a Control Type product. This control operation
can be done by the client system, or by the Marpower Control Unit (22-SCU). These devices
interface control the lamps, flashlights and claxons of the connected display type.
To give an overview of the categorized products, Figure 2.1-1 has been shown below:
Throughout the entire document, the productnames will be used in the paragraphs.
Control Unit
The Control Unit (22-SCU) product is an intelligent device that
controls the flashlights, indicator lights and a claxon (horn). The
Control unit uses a communication network to broadcast the
alarm data. The Control Unit can be set as a master or as a
slave.
The master will broadcast the alarm signals towards the connected slaves, that will mimic the
master alarm signals, unless configured otherwise. The configuration of the device can be
set by (dip) switches, rotary switch or connect (jumper) a certain inputs. The unit is also
back-wards functional compatible with the 21-SCU-1.
Figure 2.1-1: Overview of the categorized products in the SCS
Figure 2.2-1: Control Unit (22-SCU)

2-2
Optional Connect
The Optional Connect (22-SOC) product is a variant of the Control Unit (22-SCU), but without the
intelligence module. This product is used when the customer doesn’t implement the intelligent Control Unit.
The product serves as connection terminal between the Signal Column and the user control system. The
product is suited for the Marpower Signal Columns (22-K(x) or the 22-K(x)-F(y) products).
Signal Column
The Signal Column ( 22-K(x) ) is a product that houses a 3 alarm field column, that is normally installed with
a Control Unit (22-SCU). The Signal Column can be mounted free in the area and it’s stackable. In order to
get a 6 alarm field column, two Signal Column products must be merged together. This can be done till 9
alarm field are made. The column provides a (dual) array of 3x3 LEDs to present 1 light field, which will
illuminate an alarm symbol on the signal column.
Signal Column with Flashlights
The Signal Column with Flashlights ( 22-K(x)-F(y) ) is an identical version of the 22-K(x), but it has
additional flash lights mounted on top of the signal column. These additional flashlights can vary between 1,
2 or 3 flashlights. Throughout the entire document, the procedures that are listed for the 22-K(x) can be aslo
be applied to the 22-K(x)-F(y) variant.
Figure 2.3-1: Signal Column with Flashlights (22-K6-F3 variant shown)
Signal Panel
The Signal Panel is meant for panel mount. The panel is suited for 6 or 9 alarm fields to display and can be
controlled by a Control Unit (22-SCU) or a Terminal PCB (22-S). Cable and other nececities are included in
the package of the Signal Panel.

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Control Unit
The Marpower Signal Column can be controlled by an intelligent Control Unit (22-SCU), that
controls the alarm indicators based on the classified priority order (IMO regulation). The
Control Unit has several outputs for signal lights, flashlights and claxons. To reduce cabling
and installation costs, the Control Unit is equipped with a robust communication network that
can reach large distances. This network works on the principle of a master and slave
topology, where the master receives all the needed alarm information and sends it though
the COM network. The slaves will mimic the master it’s alarm inputs, unless it is modified by
the user configuration.
The picture below shows an example of multiple Control Unit products in a COM network.
The Control Unit (22-SCU) contains the following functionalities:
Can be powered by an external power supply, or by a other Control Unit product
Can be connected parallel to any Control Unit
Uses 2 wire communication
Multiple communication topologies possible, like; bus, ring, mesh, etc.
Possibility that an alarm signal can be controlled locally
Possibility to create another sub-network with a Sub-Master.
Different Modes of operation possible (importance of signals)
BG-Verkehr mode can be set
Can control 1 –9 alarm fields
Can control 1 –3 flashlights and 1 –2 claxons
Can be installed in a old 21-SCU-1 network
The Control Unit controls a Marpower display product. The display product can be a Signal
Column, a Signal Panel, or a different signalling type product.
