Integrated Platform Management System - Logimatic

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