The HiPAP 352P is a portable system designed for tracking

ROV’s, tow fish, divers and other subsea objects at several

thousand metres range. The system operates in SSBL mode

where it measures the distance and direction to subsea

transponders and computes a 3D position in local coordinates

or in geographical coordinates. HiPAP 352P is designed

to be a portable system for easy installation on surface vessels

or other surface units. APOS, the operator station for HiPAP 352P,

provides the full range of functions for acoustic positioning and

data communication. HiPAP 352P bene fits from the Cymbal

acoustic protocol and all functions that are available for the

HiPAP products are also available for HiPAP 352P.

HiPAP 352P has full LBL calibration and positioning capabilities

and can be used for position box in, calibration and positioning.

The system is offering the user a wide range of transponder

channels and cNODE transponder models for depths down to

4000 meters. HiPAP 352P has built in motion sensors for

compensating the position for vessels roll and pitch movements.

These models have no need for calibration of roll and pitch

alignments but need to calibrate for alignment to the vessels’ gyro

compass. The system can be interfaced to the vessel heading sensor

and GNSS system. Data output to users are available in established

formats. The HiPAP 352P-MGC contains a motion sensor and a gyro

compass. This model has no need for calibration to determine roll,

pitch and heading alignments. To meet various demands from the

marked, HiPAP 352P transducer is available in several models with

respect to motion and heading sensors.

Description

The DGU is a diesel engine speed

controller. It is used on the ship’s

main engine to control the engine

RPM.

The desired engine set-point speed is

provided by either the AC600 ACP

or by a manual control lever. Once

the set point is established, the DGU

maintains the engine RPM at all

times.

The DGU includes all essential

signals related to the main governor

functions. It works as an independent

unit and will operate even if both

CAN networks should fail.

The DGU contains four CAN-buses

and two RS485 serial lines. Each port

is galvanically isolated.

The input supply voltage of 24 VDC

should not be below +18 V or above

+32 V. It is galvanically isolated.

Operator stations

The Operator Stations are used to receive alarms and to

allow monitoring and control of the system. They display

status pages and interactive process diagrams. They also

give access to the I/O Units for inspection of variables,

operation of equipment and adjustment of parameters.

Changing limits or parameters in one Operator Station will

automatically update all other stations. All operator actions

such as the starting or stopping of pumps or changing

alarm limits, are logged and time tagged. Process views

contain easy‐to‐read information about the engine and

surrounding equipment. Control of different process plants

and machinery is done directly from any Operator Station.

Full monitoring and alarm facilities are provided in both

the machinery space and in the control rooms. All changes

in alarm and measuring points from the I/Os are logged and

time stamped.

Data are stored in all Operator Stations for 28 days. They can

be displayed in the Event and Trend history view. Extended

logging of data is included in our information management

system.

Energy Control System

The K-Chief Automation System is tightly integrated with Kongsberg’s K-Pow

er solutions for AC and DC electric grids. Direct access to generator protection

units, drives and converters ensure smooth and optimal control of the vessels

electric plant.

Common technology

The use of common technology in the Kongsberg portfolio

has allowed us to develop modular products. The benefits

of modularity are passed on to our customers through:

• Identical basic software platform in the K-Line systems

• Free flow of information between the K-Line systems

(K-Chief, K-Safe, K-Power, K-Pos, K-Thrust, K-Bridge &

K-Gauge)

• Well-proven solutions that focus on the complete vessel

operation

• Operational consistency

• Reduced spare part and training requirements

The information management system may be integrated to

K-Chief via the administrative network, allowing the user to

define trend displays and create tailored reports.

System architecture

The K-Chief system architecture has a modular design,

and builds on Operator Stations and I/O modules

interconnected by local data networks. This allows us to

meet individual ship owner’s requirements using standard

modules. Different selections of these units are used to

configure each individual system.

The K-Chief is decentralized with redundant controllers for

each segment for availability, but operation is centralized

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 system can connect

more I/O modules in the network later on. This may be

done to control additional process areas, or to extend the

functionality. Vendor’s equipment,  such as valve control

systems, fire alarm systems and level gauging, can be

interfaced on communication lines connected directly to

the process network.

Key features

K-Chief offers cost effective standard solutions with the

possibility of tailoring to individual requirements. Modular

design allows flexibility in configuring the system, covering

the whole range from low complexity alarm systems to

highly integrated control and monitoring systems

The K-Chief system covers all important functions on-

board avessel, and is configurable for all ship types, inclu

ding oil/LPG/LNG tankers, bulk carriers, container ships,
