mounted on the engine. The engine safety module handles fundamental safety, for example
overspeed and low lubricating oil pressure shutdown. The safety module also performs fault
detection on critical signals and alerts the alarm system about detected failures. The local
control panel has push buttons for local start/stop and shutdown reset, as well as a display
showing the most important operating parameters. Speed control is included in the automation
system on the engine.
All necessary engine control functions are handled by the equipment on the engine, bus
communication to external systems, a more comprehensive local display unit, and fuel injection
control.
Conventional heavy duty cables are used on the engine and the number of connectors are
minimised. Power supply, bus communication and safety-critical functions are doubled on
the engine. All cables to/from external systems are connected to terminals in the main cabinet
on the engine.
