Controlling & Monitoring a Marine Vessel Application
Pyramid Solutions’ BridgeWay Gateways are a powerful and flexible product that enables connectivity from automation control systems to engine, vehicle and other equipment control systems.
Application: Marine vessels use HMIs in the wheelhouse that display data, such as engine status, and provide controls to operate the vessel.
Problem: In large marine vessels, the wheelhouse is located a significant distance from the engine room, which prevents the ability to directly access the engine control network. Solutions such as media converters and repeaters are expensive and can be prone to failure.
Solution: The BridgeWay allows the wheelhouse HMI to receive and send messages, which enables direct access to network data and the ability to perform control operations, such as adjusting the engine speed.
