- Use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf hardware eliminates the dependence on dedicated, more expensive and less accessible “marine” spare parts – enabling easy service and/or repair anywhere in the world.
- Fault finding and maintenance are very easy due to the SIMATIC-S7 PLC Push-Pull modules that can be replaced in no time.
- All work stations are connected by a common network and each station can take over the entire system regardless of other stations failure.
- Other computers on ship’s LAN can log into the system at will (for monitoring only). Full redundancy of CPU and BUS – automatic take over if one PLC fails. Open architecture – easily fitted for every vessel.
