2 BUILDING BLOCKS The following sub-chapters describe the main system modules of the KONGSBERG Vessel performance system individually. These building blocks are both hardware and software entities which combined constitute a complete system. The interplay between the different building blocks is described in the chapter System description.
2.1 K-Chief 600 integrated automation system
The integrated automation system K-Chief 600 is a modular system that allows us to meet individual ship owner’s requirements using standard modules.
• Operator Stations (OS): Their main functions are to receive alarms and to allow monitoring and control of the system. They can display mimic diagrams, allow control of the Watch Calling System and print various logs. They also enable the operator access to Distributed Processing Units for inspection of variables, remote operation of equipment adjustment of parameters etc.
• Operator Panels (CRP/INP/ALC/TCP): Their main functions are to act as status and command panels for the Operator Stations. They also include a keypad for entering number values into the system and/or a trackball for controlling cursor position on the Operator Station screen.
• Distributed Process Units (DPU) The main functions of the Distributed Processing Units are to monitor analogue or digital sensors and to provide analogue and digital output to different devices. All units have the same mechanical construction and are built using the same electronic design principles.
The various DPU’s used by the Vessel performance system is described in the following paragraphs.
2.2 Vessel Performance Station The vessel performance station is a K-Chief 600 operator station with a specific set of functionality not available in the normal operator station. The vessel performance station is:
• Able to integrate third party applications ( EPOS, Maren etc) • Responsible for data exchange with third party applications
Kongsberg Maritime AS
345588 / A/ Page 9
2.3 Fleet management server The server is a "black box" unit and shall not contain display or user interface units; it shall be operated by using remote desktop.
The server shall not require any maintenance or operation by the crew onboard the vessel, it shall be fully configured and maintained by KM.
The core functionality of the Fleet management server is:
• Integration between all third party software as EPOS, Maren, Lodic, K-Log etc. and K-Chief 600.
• A secure connection between K-Chief 600 and the ship administrative network • Availability of administrative functionality to the crew and officers onboard the
vessel as i.e. Ship viewer on Chief engineer office or the use of electronic logbooks.
• The Fleet management server will give the ship owner access to the K-Chief 600 system ashore through a secure web server. This will give the owner more control over the entire fleet’s performance through mimics, alarm lists, trends, logbook pages etc.
2.4 Segment Controller Unit (SCU) The Segment controller unit is a dual four channel CAN gateway. The main function of the SCU is to process messages from the local CAN-bus segment and send them on the global process bus, where they are available for other system gateways.
2.5 Remote Torque Interface (Rti2) The Rti2 is a distributed process unit (DPU) developed by Kongsberg. It is an intelligent unit where up to 2 shafts can be connected. The Rti2 will provide output for shaft torque, shaft rpm and calculated shaft power. The output may be published via the segment network (CAN-bus), on RS 485 Modbus serial line or as 4-20mA signals.
2.6 Sensor Interface Unit (SIU) The SIU is a distributed process unit (DPU) developed by Kongsberg. It is an intelligent unit where up to 4 cylinder pressure sensors may be connected. The SIU will interpret ate the signals from the connected sensors and publish the result to the segment network (CAN-bus). The SIU is also responsible for the acquirement of raw data for engine performance analysis.

345588 / A/ Page 10
2.7 Kongsberg MetaPower torque meter Kongsberg MetaPower measures RPM (revolutions per minute), torque and power output on the propeller shaft(s). The system is a digital measuring system using a laser beam for the detection of the shaft torque, the shaft RPM and consequently the transferred power. The MetaPower system offers high accuracy and good long term stability.
2.8 Fuel flow measurement A flow meter with high accuracy and excellent repeatability is required. The flow sensor will be setup for monitoring the flow measured in kg/h. The flow meter itself is able to provide fuel oil specific gravity and temperature.
A reliable flow meter is vital in order to achieve correct emission calculations. Accepted accuracy is +/- 0,25% or better.
The flow meters provide high accuracy and excellent repeatability. Narrow band pass digital filtering and the mathematically modelled internal primary head design with AST (Adaptive Sensor Technology) provide exceptional immunity to external disturbances caused by vibrations from nearby process equipment.
2.9 EPOS EPOS is a software module for the monitoring and automatic diagnosis of large-bore combustion engines and their auxiliaries. The module delivers the engine status and hints based on a deep expert look into the engine.
2.10 Maren Maren is an energy management analysis software module. The integration of Maren in K-Chief 600 will provide the user with a full overview of the vessel status and enable the user to optimize the voyage.

Figure 5: The Fuel performance module
This module is designed to give the operator a tool for monitoring the fuel consumption. By aiming specifically at the propulsion system, the operator receives invaluable information on the most economical operation. The module provides an overview of the propeller, shaft and main engine. Based on the acquired measurements, the Fuel Performance Monitoring module calculates a set of performance parameters, including:
3.1.1 Fuel performance software
Fuel performance software is needed for the calculation of:
• Momentary fuel consumption for each engine in kg/hrs
• Total momentary fuel consumption in kg/hrs
• Hull efficiency in kg/N.M
• Engine efficiency for each engine in g/kWh
• Shaft power for each shaft in MW
• Total shaft power in MW
• Duration of voyage in hrs
• Distance traveled in N.M
• Accumulated fuel consumption for each engine in Tons
• Total accumulated fuel consumption in Tons
Kongsberg Maritime AS
345588 / A/ Page 14
• Accumulated propeller shaft power for each shaft in MWh
• Total accumulated propeller shaft power in MWh
3.1.2 KONGSBERG MetaPower torque meter
The main benefits of the MetaPower system are:
• Continuous, highly accurate measurements
• Reliable and maintenance-free
• Robust construction
• Suitable for any shaft diameter
• Easy to disconnect and connect after propeller shaft inspection.
• Displays and indications integrated in K-Chief 600 and AC C20.

3.1.2.1 Working principle
Figure 7: Torque measurement working principle
A light beam is transmitted from the Remote torque interface (Rti2) to a specially designed optical fork. The beam in the air gaps is pulse modulated by the coding wheels mounted on the rotating shaft at an adequate distance from each other. The generated pulse pattern will depend on the shaft speed and torque. The resulting LED light signal contains the information on the torsional angle between the two cuts of the rotating shaft. In addition, the signal contains the information on the shaft RPM. The signal is detected by one single light sensitive sensor in the Rti2 unit. The modulated light pulses are converted to electronic pulses for the further processing.
In this way the following can be measured and read out:
• The RPM of the shaft
• The torsional angle between two cuts of the shaft, i.e., the torque
• The power transferred by the shaft
3.1.3 Fuel oil flow meter
The flow meters are connected to KONGSBERG DPU’s and update the K-Chief 600 continuously with:
• The mass flow measured in kg/h or volume flow in m3/h. • The fuel oil specific gravity and the temperature.
This will be transferred to the K-Chief 600 system from the flow meter with the aid of conventional analogue signals or pulses.
The result of the measurement will be presented in a dedicated mimic picture.. For the main engine the result will be presented in Kg/h (or m3/h), and g/kwh.

3.1.4 Fuel performance HMI
The fuel performance MIMIC gives the operator a tool to see the operational performance of the vessel. The MIMIC is customer specific and can be adapted to the need of the customer.
To be able to get maximum performance from the MIMIC, Kongsberg recommends installing:
• MetaPower shaft torque meter.
• High accuracy fuel flow meter.
• High accuracy cylinder lub. oil flow meter.

• fuel injection system
• combustion process
• liner/piston behaviour
• exhaust valves
Kongsberg Maritime AS
345588 / A/ Page 19
Figure 10: The Engine performance overview mimic
The system provides the operator with main engine performance status based on the engine cylinder pressure. The cylinder pressure are monitored by online or offline cylinder pressure sensor(s). This will provide the user a tool to optimize the engine to reduce fuel consumption.
The engine analysis is provided by EPOS and integrated in K-Chief 600.
3.2.2 Cylinder pressure measurement Cylinder pressure measurement can be used both for 2 and 4 stroke engines. Data from cylinder pressure sensors, fuel sensors and other signals that are closely related to the rotation of the engine are processed in real-time and transferred to the K-Chief system by the Sensor Interface Unit (SIU).
The combustion analysis gives the engine status and hints based on a deep expert look into the engine.
The analysis tool provides support regarding the challenge of variable fuel quality. A detailed guide for adjustments of the engine tuning is displayed in the K-Chief 600.

The actual measuring process is performed at one cylinder after the other under preferably constant engine operation condition.
Kongsberg Maritime AS
345588 / A/ Page 22
Figure 13: The Aux. engine performance mimic
The combustion analysis inside EPOS uses verified routines. The subsequent diagnosis algorithm is based on these results and uses different state of the art methods and physical models. Data from shop test, sea trials or real condition status trials (RCST) can be used as references for the diagnosis. The human-machine-interface HMI contains a representative status - the traffic light - for simple overview. Further screens show measurement data and diagnosis in different detail and depth. Customer specific reports can be generated.
The customer benefits using EPOS are:
• Information about engine condition and possible faults can be received regularly or on user demand. The diagnostic will also be viewed on the K-Chief 600 operator stations.
• Recommendations for optimum engine performance and adjustment are extractable.
• Reports can be printed or saved.
