<strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Platform</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>System</strong>
IPMS - <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Platform</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
The Danish Flexible Support Vessel is equipped with an<br />
<strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Platform</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>System</strong> developed by<br />
Rockwell Automation (DK) and <strong>Logimatic</strong> Engineering<br />
in a joint cooperation. The IPMS is a common<br />
computer based platform integrating the following<br />
applications:<br />
• Power management<br />
• Propulsion control<br />
• Ship systems automation<br />
• Ship systems remote monitoring and control<br />
• Alarm system including Extension Alarm Panels<br />
• Damage management<br />
• Conning displays<br />
• Loading and Stability Computer<br />
• CCTV camera system<br />
Main Engine Lubrication Oil <strong>System</strong>.<br />
The system consists of a number of processing units<br />
(PLCs) distributed around the ship, and a number of<br />
operator stations located in the Engine Control Room<br />
and on the Bridge. All operator stations can display<br />
any picture, so the ship platform can be controlled<br />
completely either from ECR or the Bridge.<br />
Additional data network plugs enables connection<br />
of portable PCs for diagnostic purposes and<br />
manning of local damage control stations.<br />
More than 100 mimic displays are developed,<br />
based on a standard windows graphical user<br />
interface where data are displayed and<br />
controllable components can be manipulated<br />
via pop-up faceplates. The mimics are designed<br />
in accordance with the system diagrams and<br />
show outlines of essential machinery details<br />
to facilitate seamless operation of the system.<br />

<strong>System</strong> Architecture<br />
The IPMS on the Flexible Support Vessel consists of<br />
10 PLCs, 7 IPMS operator stations, 5 conning<br />
displays, 2 data servers, 1 load computer, 15<br />
Extension alarm panels, 4 dual propulsion handles<br />
and additional miscellaneous accessories. All PLC's<br />
and operator stations are connected via a switched<br />
full redundant optical fibre Ethernet ring.<br />
Additional deterministic and redundant ControlNet<br />
networks are installed for realtime control and<br />
remote data acquisition modules. A second<br />
external fibre optic ring network is installed for<br />
administrative purposes and for third parties<br />
equipment.<br />
The hardware configuration is realised with a<br />
high level of redundancy such that system<br />
operation is maintained in case of any single<br />
failure. The system design also supports a<br />
proper graceful degradation where the<br />
distributed PLCs continue operation in case of<br />
malfunction of the operator station network.<br />
The PLCs are located in different damage<br />
zones so loss of one zone does not prevent<br />
operation of the remaining PLCs.<br />
All hardware and system software are<br />
COTS products that provide for global<br />
spare part support and to be prepared for<br />
future upgrades. The system is based on<br />
Allen-Bradley PLCs, the Rockwell<br />
software suite (RSView and RSLogix),<br />
and Microsoft Windows on the<br />
operator stations. The Extension Alarm<br />
<strong>System</strong> is a Sperry product. The<br />
operator stations are standard marine<br />
approved PCs with 20" TFT screens.<br />
