Marine Alarm and Monitoring

This is Trihedral’s most common, standardized product for the Marine industry. The product returns mission-critical vessel alarm and status data to a central operator interface. This is achieved by using a distributed system to concentrate alarms within a network of control panels throughout the ship. This reduces wiring and significantly reduces costs.

These panels are interconnected via redundant field busses and centralized alarm management is controlled by a redundant PLC pair. PC-based user interfaces are distributed in key areas of the ship and alarm acknowledgement is synchronized with the PLC. In addition to graphical system overview and alarm management, the system includes data-logging and trending.

The system monitors and displays status and alarms for such systems as:

• Propulsion
• Engines
• Gearbox
• Generators
• Steering Gear
• Bilges
