1. DMS2100i Introduction

The Diesel Manoeuvring System - DMS2100i is a Bridge Manoeuvring System used for remote 

control of a ship’s Propulsion Line, with a MAN B&W two-stroke low speed ME-Engine connected to a Fixed Pitch Propeller (FPP). 

The DMS2100i is operated by means of Telegraph Levers and standard DMS2100i Panels with 

build in four-line display. 

The DMS2100i is operated as a completely independent stand-alone system, with all information and internal alarms displayed on the DMS Operator Panels.

When the DMS2100i are delivered together with a Lyngsø Marine Universal Monitoring System, UMS2100 alarm system or as an integrated part of the Universal Control System

UCS2100, the systems can be interconnected by means of a communication network, so that 

alarms, indications and measurements values from the DMS2100i can be displayed on the 

Graphical Operator Station (GOS) and alarm Panels in the Alarm and Control System also.

The DMS2100i can be configured to provide complete control for:

· Main Engine Remote Start/Stop from Bridge

· Start Blocking indications

· Main Engine Setpoint System 

· Main Engine Shutdown Indications from ME Safety System

· Main Engine Slowdown System

· Main Engine Speed Measurement and Indication

· Control Transfer for Bridge/ECR/Local Change-over

· Sub-telegraph Control with Finished With Engine (FWE), Stand-by and Sea-mode

· Main Engine Running Mode Selector (Economy mode, Emission Mode etc.)

· Dual Serial Interface to the ME-Engine Electronic Control System (ECS)

· Alarm Announcement and Indication

The DMS2100i can be extended with the following options:

· DPS2100 Engine Safety System (independent system for Shutdowns and overspeed)

· Communication Telegraph System for Bridge order communication to ECR/Local

· Bridge Wing Control (Wing Panels Optional) and Electric Shaft on Telegraph Levers

· Manoeuvring Order Printer integrated in the system

· Integration with Lyngsø Marine Alarm and Control System

· Serial interface (Modbus) to other types of ships alarm system

This User Manual gives an overview of the hardware and describes the functionality of the 

DMS2100i Bridge Manoeuvring System, and includes wiring diagrams etc.

2. DMS2100i System Overview

The DMS2100i control functions for a Propulsion Line existing of a MAN B&W two-stroke 

low speed ME-Engine with Fixed Pitch Propeller are handled by one DMS2100i Gamma PLC 

mounted in the DMS control cabinet, together with the units for a DPS2100 Engine Safety System.

The Main Engine Safety System is completely independent of the DMS. The Main Engine may 

be equipped with a standard Safety System from the Main Engine manufacturer. If the Main Engine manufacturer supply does not include a Safety System, the DMS can be delivered together 

with an independent Diesel Protection System, DPS2100 Safety System.

Other Gamma PLC's in the UMS/UCS2100 Alarm and Control System handles the alarm and 

monitoring part of the machinery components controlled by the DMS2100i.

In case that alarms from the Main Engine are connected to the DMS Gamma, it must be alarms

relevant for the Main Engine controlled by that particular DMS Gamma only, because they will 

be displayed as DMS alarms on the DMS Panels, such as e.g. alarms initiating a Slowdown/load reduction, startblockings etc.

The DMS2100i and the UCS2100 Alarm and Control system are independent systems, each 

with its own Gamma PLC’s, only connected by a network to transfer alarms and information to 

the GOS and printers (Manoeuvring Order Printer). The network will also be used for automatic operation of the Power Management System (PMS) e.g. in case of mode change to/from a 

mode where the SG is connected to a Bow Thruster (BT) and/or Stern Thruster (ST).

Slowdowns for the Main Engine and optional RPM up/down signals from the Power Management System (for frequency control, load sharing and synchronising purposes) are transferred as 

hardwired signal lines for safety reasons. The Slowdown inputs to the DMS2100i are defined 

as supervised inputs, i.e. cable break can be detected.

All hardware component and logic circuitry of the DMS2100i and the UCS2100 Alarm and 

Control System is independent. That means it will still be possible to control the propulsion 

machinery even in case of a total breakdown of the Alarm and Monitoring System.

The power supply for the DMS2100i as well as the DPS2100 and UCS2100 must be Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) protected. There must be a separate fuse for the DMS2100i

Gamma, the DPS PLC and the remaining hardware connected to this system.

The following part of the remote control system are described in this section:

· DMS2100i Main Cabinet (Gamma PLC, I/O Modules etc.)

· DMS Panels for remote control of the propulsion machinery

· ECR Components for Manual ECR Control of the propulsion machinery

· Local Operator Panel for Local Control of the propulsion machinery

· DPS2100 Engine Safety System

· Telegraph Lever System

· Electric Shaft for Bridge Wings control

· Communication Telegraph System

· Main Engine Speed Measurement
