Kongsberg Marine automation system, K-Chief 600

Designed to meet the challenging demands of shipyards and ship owners configurable from 16 to 20 000 channels. Modular design based on standard modules TheK-Chief 600 marine automation systemis designed to meet the challenging demands of shipyards and ship owners and is configurable from 16 to 20 000 channels. Modular design based on standard modules allows us to configure the system to individual requirements, covering the whole range from low complexity alarm systems to highly integrated alarm and monitoring systems with advanced process control and power management. Different selections of these modules are used to configure each individual system to fit exactly to the requirements. The K-Chief 600 is decentralised for safety and ease of installation, but operation is centralised using the Operator Stations. Each I/O module has a specific role and is configured to match the operational requirements of the specific process area. Due to this flexible architecture, the K-Chief 600 system can connect additional I/O modules in the network at any time. This may be done to control new process areas, or to extend the functionality. Our new enhanced human machine interfaces (HMI) and open system architecture provide the highest standard in quality and functionality, making it the first choice for quality conscious ship owners and operators. The K-Chief 600 marine automation system complies with the requirements of IMO, local maritime authorities, IACS, and the classification societies. It is designed to meet the classification societies requirements for periodically unmanned engine room operation. The system confirms to all rules and regulations, and all modules are type approved.
