System Overview
Note
Each SPU is capable of processing 7 cylinders (14 sensors) and 4
temperature inputs. For engines with more than 7 cylinders, an additional
SPU is required. The two SPUs are termed ‘master’ and ‘slave’. The ‘master’
is connected to the Interface Unit, but an additional cable connects the
‘master’ and ‘slave’ together.
It also provides outputs for integration with the ship’s automation system with
three double pole change over relays to indicate alarm conditions.
2.1.5 PC
A panel mounted PC reads data back from the SPU(s) and logs readings to a
local database. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided to display live and
historical data for all bearings.

2.3 Displays
This section describes the two main displays provided on the PC for the
operation of the system.
All bearing conditions are indicated in real time by a series of bar graphs. Any
indication of wear is shown as bars growing downwards. Accumulation of
material on the bearing surface is shown as growth. The wear, in microns, is
shown by the scale on the left hand side of the screen.
Alarm and Slowdown thresholds are defined for both actual and deviations,
and if exceeded, trigger software warnings and set the appropriate relay
outputs.
The alarm and slowdown levels are shown by the amber and red markers,
respectively, on the right.
System Overview
Live and historical data for all bearings can be viewed with respect to time.
RPM and temperatures are also indicated

The Wear (Proximity) Sensors, which are fitted to sensor brackets, consist of
an M18 x 1.0 mm threaded body, with a flat sensing surface at one end and an
electrical connector at the other end.
Two sensors are installed per cylinder, one each side of the guide shoe, to
measure its position at Bottom Dead Centre (BDC). The sensor brackets are
normally bolted to the linear guide surface, on the manoeuvre side of the
engine, between adjacent guide shoes. Typically, two wear sensors are
mounted per bracket, providing measurement for adjacent cylinders. Where
there is no adjacent cylinder i.e. at the ends of the engine or at a timing chain
box, only one wear sensor is fitted, but with the addition of a temperature
sensor.
During installation, the wear sensors must be adjusted to give a 3.0mm gap
with reference to the bottom face of the guide shoe at BDC.
Cables from each sensor are glanded through the engine wall, via the shortest
practical route, and wired to terminal boxes mounted on the outside of the
engine.
System Components
Note
Both the Proximity Sensors and the Temperature Sensors are fitted to
brackets which are custom designed to fit individual engines.
The temperature sensors are provided with an in-line plug.
System Components
The Terminal Box provides a cable break between internal and external engine
wiring to simplify maintenance. Sensor cables, from each bracket, are routed,
via the shortest practical route, through a threaded hole in the engine wall. A
Terminal Box is secured to the external face of the engine using an M20 x 1.5
cable gland screwed in to the threaded exit hole. Internal sensor cables pass
through a gland, screwed in to the hole on the inside of the engine, to prevent
any oil leakage.
Cables then run on the outside of the engine between the terminal boxes and
the SPU(s).
System Components
The SPU is powered directly from the Interface Unit, which isolates this supply
from the incoming 24V DC supply. It processes and logs the sensor data to
non-volatile memory and an SD card. Live and historical data can be read from
the SPU using the RS485 link (ModBus RTU).
The sensors are connected from the engine mounted terminal boxes and
routed to the SPU. The SPU should be mounted with the cable glands facing
down.
The SPU can accept up to 14 Wear Sensor inputs, and 4 Temperature Sensor
inputs, as well as one Water In Oil and one Shaft Line Earth Monitor. For
engines with more than 7 cylinders, a second ‘slave’ SPU is installed. The
sensor connections are then distributed between the two SPUs. A multi-core
cable connects the ‘master’ and ‘slave’ SPUs together. The ‘master’ SPU is
connected back to the Interface Unit by a multi-core cable.
System Components
The Interface Unit houses a circuit board. On the board is a 24V DC/DC
converter with an isolated output, which provides power to the SPU(s). The PC
is also powered from the circuit board, via fuses, but is not isolated from the
incoming 24V supply.
Also incorporated on the circuit board are the three relays which provide the
alarm outputs to the AMS. All wiring to the circuit board is by means of plug
and socket connectors with spring loaded terminals.
Relay Outputs
The ‘master’ SPU includes three isolated outputs which connect to the
Interface Box. These then drive double pole change over contact relays.
System Components
Three strategies are used to guard against problems when the relay is in its
normal de-energised state:
• Optional resistors can be placed across the normally open contacts, so that an
alarm system can send a small current through the wires and detect the
presence of these resistors, confirming the integrity of the wiring.
• The resistance of the relay coil is monitored, to ensure that it is present. Failure
results in the Healthy relay de-energising.
• A brief repetitive pulse is sent from the SPU, which is too short for the relay to
react to. This pulse is detected by the on-board microcontroller, and is used to
verify the integrity of the connection between the SPU and the Interface board.
Failure results in the Healthy relay de-energising.
The following lists the various situations which will cause each relay to change
from its normal state.
