Upgrade on the Speed- and Loadsharing controls
SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS
- XIOS UC
REGULATEURS EUROPA did a midlife upgrade on the Speed- and Loadsharing controls on board a Landing Platform Dock of the Dutch Navy. The new XIOS controls have been installed in the existing cabinets to replace the obsolete Viking V25 governors.
Excellent speed control and load sharing is performed by the XIOS digital electronic governors. The load sharing is according the master-slave principle in which 1 engine is speed controller, the master. The slave governors share their individual load on the communication bus and are used as positioners by the master governor.
Switch gear have been re-located to make space for the touch screens, which were programmed and configured in cooperation with Holand Marine Electric BV. On the touch screen the individual governor data such as speed, set speed, engine load, kWatt load and circuit breaker status are shown. On the second page an overview of the entire electrical system is displayed. On each screen the breaker status, bus tie status, kWatt load per engine, isochronous or droop mode and master/ slave indication are displayed.
