Commissioning and operation

5. MMDS-CMS display device

The visualisation of engine operating data, general ship's messages and alarms is an important part of
modern alarm and safety systems on ships. The amount of information is steadily increasing and must be
registered and evaluated quickly. Alarms and / or warnings are to be recorded and reported quickly and
precisely. Clear and user-friendly displays are a precondition for safe operation of any ship.
The MAN Monitoring System represents a new component of the proven alarm, safety and diagnostic sys­
tem MMDS, which offers a variety of new functions and display formats. The PC-based system is used to
display operating data of several engines and general ship messages.
The 10" / 15" MMDS-CMS 10 / 15 TFT monitor is part of the system. Data that has previously been pro­
cessed by the corresponding software is shown on the display. The software is controlled using integrated
function keys that are located on the left of the display. The assigned functions are shown on the left edge
of the display. There is a choice of various forms of display. These can be pages with digital displays, ana­
logue instruments, visual engine graphics and tabular displays. There are also two keys at the bottom right
for visual and acoustic alarm acknowledgement. The keys above these are for setting the display by means
of an "on screen display" menu.
