 System description

System description

Auxiliary Control
The Auxiliary Control System is one of the systems that can be integrated in the K-Chief
600. It can control a large variety of processes, for example control of compressors.
The main purpose of this type of control is to maintain the air receiver pressure at a
constant value.
The following types of equipment can be controlled by the K-Chief 600 Auxiliary
Control System:
• Pumps
• Fans
• Compressors
• Stand-by handler systems
• Valves
• Dampers
• PID controllers
Operator interaction is done through interactive colour graphic pictures on the Operator
Stations (OS), or locally from the Midi Operator Stations (MOS). The number of images
in the system depends on the amount of equipment under K-Chief 600 control.
The following illustration is an example of a process view.

347693/A 11
Kongsberg K-Chief 600

All data acquisition, signal conditioning, signal scaling and process control is performed
by each individual Distributed Processing Unit (DPU). This solution guarantees that
local operation is available even if the Operator Stations are not functioning.
Examples of application areas are:
• Lubrication oil systems
• Sea water cooling system
• Fresh water cooling system
• Potable and fresh water control
• Compressed air control
• Bilge control
• Fuel oil system
• Cooling systems
• Steam system
• Purifier plant
• Heating, Ventilation and Air Condition System (HVAC)

 Pump information

Pump information

This chapter contains information about the pumps that can be a necessary supplement
to the procedures.

Pump control functions

To control pumps the following functions and features are available:
• Start and stop sequence for two speeds and two different directions.
• Alarm reporting for start and stop failure.
• Alarm reporting for tripping or started without commanded.
• Auto and manual control.
• Automatic time delayed restart when recovering from blackout.
• Blocking from operation when Local switch is active or during blackout.
• Automatic shutdown.
• Optional time stamping of every change of operation, allowing the system to record
time of starting, running and stopping.

Pump types
The following types of pumps can be operated:
• Single speed: One speed control in one direction
• Two speed: Two speed in the same direction
• Two directional: One speed in two directions
• Two speed two directional: Two speed in two directions
• Single acting: One speed with steady relay control

Pump states
• Green: Pump running
• Grey: Pump stopped
• Grey: Pump stand-by
• Grey/green flashing: Immediate state
• Red square around the symbol: Tripped/Failure
• Pink colour filled in a square around the symbol: Invalid

Alarms and events

There are some alarms that must be enabled at all times due to classification society
requirements. Start fail and trip alarms are among these. The following conditions will
result in alarms, and the pump will be set to manual:
• Trip
• Start failure
• Stop failure
• Started without commanded

Pump modes
The pump can be operated in two different modes; auto and manual.
• Auto: A unit can be automatically started and stopped
• Manual: Only manual start and stop is possible
Restart after blackout applies to both auto and manual modes. The shutdown and start
block functions are active both in auto and manual modes.

Pump control
Single acting control
A relay is used to start and stop the controlled unit. The relay is closed as long as the
unit is meant to be running, and opened when the unit is meant to be stopped. This
functionality applies to one way, one speed units only.
If the controlled unit does not include a sensor to know if it is running, the starter will
generate the feedback signal internally. In this way the event information sent from the
starter includes the current running information.

347693/A 15
Kongsberg K-Chief 600

Blackout
Some equipment starters (provided by some manufacturers) have the local/remote switch
connected serially with the power failure switch. On a blackout, the starter will lose the
remote signal. It is important that the starter detects the blackout before it is set to local,
and that the remote signal is back before the starter receives recover from blackout.
To solve this set the delay to, Off, at the running and remote feedback, and the delay to,
On, for the system blackout signal.

Overview of the general pump dialogue box

The K-Chief 600 has a general pump dialogue box. Underneath is an example of it, and a
table with explanation of the function buttons.

Compressor and Fan

information

This chapter contains information about the compressor and fan that can be a necessary
supplement to the procedures.

Compressor and fan controller functions

• Control the compressors in a compressed air system.
• Provides automatic start on low pressure and stop on high pressure.
• The compressor and fan control system may include one or more compressors or fans
with analogue or binary pressure sensors.
The figure below describes a compressor system with one common analogue pressure
signal.

The compressor starter monitors pressure and running signals. Compressors are started if
the pressure is lower than the set limit and stopped if it is higher.

Blackout
Some equipment starters (provided by some manufacturers) have the local/remote switch
connected serially with the power failure switch. On a blackout, the starter will lose the
remote signal. It is important that the starter detects the blackout before it is set to local,
and that the remote signal is back before the starter receives recover from blackout.
To solve this set the delay to, Off, at the running and remote feedback, and the delay to,
On, for the system blackout signal.

Compressor control types

• Analogue pressure 1: One analogue pressure
• Analogue pressure 2: Two analogue pressures
• Binary pressure with hysteresis: Pressure switches with built in hysteresis
• Binary pressure without hysteresis: Separate pressure switches for start and stop

Start/stop conditions
Start and stop conditions are adjustable by changing parameters:

Start
Systems using both binary and analogue pressure sensors have separate start settings for
each priority.
Start conditions are:
• Pressure lower than the start limit.
• When a compressor is starting, a new compressor is started if the pressure has not
increased to above the start limit when a set time has expired.

Stop
The stop limit can be the same for all compressors, or individual. When analogue
pressure sensors are used, each priority has separate stop settings. When binary pressure
sensors are used, separate sensors can be used to define the stop limit for each priority. A
common stop sensor can also be used. All priorities are stopped by the stop leader setting.
Stop conditions are:
• Pressure higher than the stop limit

347693/A 21
Kongsberg K-Chief 600

• Stop leader signal is active

• High-high pressure

Auto
Two modes exist, auto and manual. Select auto mode to set the compressor automation
functionality in operation. Auto mode operation requires that the starter is not blocked,
or in any way disabled from operating. In the following different examples for start and
stop conditions are given.

Leader control
The leader compressor has its own start and stop limits.
Each priority has its own start and stop settings. A compressor set to a priority will
start when the pressure lowers below its start setting, and stop when the pressure rises
above its stop setting.

Overhaul function
Two reservoir system have an overhaul function. That is when one of the reservoirs is
disabled from being part of the auto start and stop logic. There are two ways of setting
a reservoir to overhaul:
• Set the pressure sensors belonging to the reservoir to off scan (override). The sensor
is not included when checking the auto start and stop limits for the compressors.
• Set a button in the mimic or physical switch on the equipment to “out of service”.
Different configurations are available as required by the customer.

Stand-by handler symbol and process unit

systems
A stand-by system includes a pump/fan/compressor symbol for each stand-by unit. The
priority number defines which unit will start first. The one with the lowest number starts
first. The running one do not need to have the lowest number.
When two units have the same stand-by number, both will start simultaneously. If non of
them are running, the unit with the lowest number will start at group start
