Operator Station with Presentation Program
The Operator Stations are the main presentation unit in the system, and is based upon the Windows NT operating system with redundant high-speed data communication between the various computers and microprocessors in the system. Dedicated process displays are created in conjunction with the customer to provide the best operational environment.
The Operator Stations are normally situated in the Cargo Control Room, where the operator can monitor the data and control all essential operating parameters.
A number of Operator Stations can be connected in a network to provide several operator consoles at different locations onboard. Alarms are handled continuously in the background, ensure that the operator is immediately alerted if any alarm limits are exceeded. Failures that may occur in the system are immediately reported on the screen. Reports on failures and alarms, as well as history/trend reports on level, volume, vapour pressure and temperature are logged and stored and can be printed out at any time. Customised reports are also available.
The system is operated with «track-ball» connected to the Operator Station.
From the Main Menu, the selection of each sub-menu can be done. Pop-up windows for parameter values and alarm limit settings are displayed on the screen.
Main functions of the Operator Station:
- Handling of alarms and failures - Configuration of the system
- Storage of measured parameter values - Calculation using measured parameter values - Logging of History/Trend
- Generation/Printout of customised CTS reports - Graphic presentation of all relevant data
- Control functions (Option available when integrated to the IAS by Kongsberg Simrad)
Data available on the screen if implemented:
- Cargo tank name - Cargo tank liquid level
- Cargo tank liquid volumes (total, individual and group)
- Cargo tank temperature (average liquid, average vapour, individual) - Cargo tank vapour pressure
- Trim, List and Draft
- ATM (atmospheric pressure)
- Misc. level, temperature and pressure readings - Alarms
- Faults/Diagnosis - Trend curves - Clock
- Configuration data
- Parameter settings - Misc. Reports
- Control functions (Option available when integrated to the IAS by Kongsberg Simrad)
On the coming pages a number of screen pictures and reports are shown as examples.
Display’s in the System Main Menu
At the bottom of the main menu screen, the operator can call the different functions/displays in the system uses the function buttons. The menu/function buttons correspond too directly to the keys (F1-F12) on the keyboard and Shift + F1-F12.
To fully operate the presentation program NL-300 / CTS a mouse or trackball is required.
Pointing on actual key with the mouse and click can also activate the menu/function buttons.
To simplify the instruction the term “click on the function” is used as a short form for “point on the function and click with the left mouse/trackball button”.
This presentation gives only a brief introduction to the NL-300 / CTS program. For more detail documentation and description of the different functions in the system. See the User’s Manual NL-300 / CTS
“Click on” the CTS and the picture that appears on the screen will be as below.
The picture gives the operator an “overview” of all the Cargo tanks. By “Click on” the Cargo tank Name button, the following display will appear on the screen:
Detailed information of the tank parameter is displayed. Moving from one tank to another is easily done by “Clicking on” the arrows beside the tank name.
“Clicking on” the CTS activity button a new display will appear on the screen.
CTS activity, details of all the parameter of the chosen tank is displayed. In this display the buttons “START LOADING / UNLOADING will activate the logging of the system.
When the activity is started a submenu will show in the display. Text header that shall be displayed in the CTS report is inserted.
After inserting the text and start the logging “click on” OK. The “NO ACTIVITY” will change to “LOADING” and a green lamp will start blinking.
The “ACTIVITY” window will change as shown in the next display. In the upper part of the display there is a button for each tank. This makes it easy to shift between the different tanks for information.
When the LOADING / UNLOADING is completed, “click on” the “STOP LOADING” button then “click on” the REPORTS. A submenu will then appear in the display.
In the REPORT menu select what further action to be done with the report.
To get back to the MAIN MENU “click on” the button “MAIN MENU”. “Click on” the button “SETUP CONFIG” to enter this display the user will be requested a password. After inserting password the following menu will appear on the screen.
In this menu different system parameter can be selected and changed. The system also allows the user to enter manual values for some parameters that will be used in stead of automatic read values. If TRIM / LIST is selected the following picture will appear.
Manually values for TRIM / LIST can be inserted and used in the system.
After selected “SET IN AUTOMATIC” or “SET NEW VALUES” the system returns back to the menu display. A new selection of function can then be made.
If the operator selects “TEMP SENSOR CTS” the following display will come on the screen.
Normally two sets of temperature sensors are installed in the tank, one set as spare. In this picture the operator can select what sensors that shall be used in the CTS calculation on the different tank. “Click on” “PREV MENU” will return to
“CONFIG MENU” If “TEMP SENSORS MAN.SET” is selected the following display will show. In this display manually entered values can be inserted and used in the system.
Selecting the “CARGO TANKS” the below display will come on the screen.
Changing of ALARM limits in the system can be done in this display.
“Click on” the “CARGO TANK DETAILS” in the config set up menu the following display will show. This picture gives information of radar parameter setting.
Next button in the config. menu is “CALIBRATION VAPOUR” if the operator is sure that the vapour pressure transmitter is ventilated to ATM pressure, the sensor can be 0 adjusted in this display.
First the sensor must be reset, and then new offset can be set and afterwards execute the setting.
Returning back to the MAIN MENU “click on” the “SETUP CARGO” the display will be as follow:
The operator has the possibility to setup groups of tanks that he wants information from. One tank can be displayed in different groups if selected.
“Click on” the group name of which group you want to setup. “Click on” the tank you want to appear in selected group, and then the tank name will be displayed in the group “box”. When finish “Click on” the “CARGO GROUPS”
button then next display is shown on the screen.
Back in “MAIN MENU” “Click on” the “CARGO TANKS” a display giving overview of all the tanks in the system will come on the screen.
For more details of the rest of the functions in NL-300 / CTS. See the Users manual.
