VESSEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Our Vessel Management Systems use standard PLCs, I/O modules, and HMI touchscreens. The hardware is fully redundant, including processors, communication links, and power supplies. The Vessel Management Systems are developed to meet specific application, customer, and regulatory requirements. These systems are designed to be operated from the bridge with HMI touchscreens that are simple and intuitive to use. Typical automation functions include:

• Alarm system and management
• Power management systems
• Cargo handling, including tank level monitoring & control 
• Ballast control
• Machinery and auxiliary alarm and management
• Alarm, data, and event logging

VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES

Current Power Solutions manufactures high-power motor drives that are designed for reliability and maintainability. Air-cooled and water-cooled Variable Frequency Drives are available with ratings up to 4.5 MW (6000HP).  The power bridges are modular for ease of serviceability. The drives are supplied with digital controllers that are programmed to suit specific applications including thrusters, cranes, winches, pumps, and cutters.

SWITCHGEAR & SWITCHBOARDS

Our high-power switchgear and switchboards are built to customer specifications and application requirements.
