According to the intended purpose of the engine and the level of automation, the engine is provided
with the basic equipment for the direct operation at the engine (emergency operation) and further
special operating devices for the function to be performed which will not be dealt with at this point.
Where these devices are included in the scope of supply of the Caterpillar / MaK, a matching
function diagram and a description has been created for this system, see Book C.
Direct start at the main engine
Within the framework of this commissioning, only the direct starting process at a main engine is
discussed.
It is necessary to know the level of automation of the ensure the operational functionality of the total
system.
If alarm and safety devices as well as the switch device for the speed are disconnected, all functions
which are normally recorded automatically must be checked or performed manually.
