Software description

Introduction
Processing engine data, general ship data and alarms is an important part of modern alarm and safety sys­
tems on ships. The amount of information is steadily increasing and must be registered and evaluated
quickly.
The MAN Monitoring System MMDS-CMS belongs to the Alarm, Safety and Diagnostic Unit MMDS.
It offers a variety of functions and types of display, which are mainly defined by the visualisation software.
It is fully installed and configured on the compact PC MMDS-CMS S which is part of the system.
Measured values and alarms are displayed in different forms on the monitoring system. Alongside a preset
page with displays of analogue or digital instruments, there is a page that can be freely configured by the
user. In addition, the engines are represented graphically. In the event of a fault, the source of the problem
can be recognised easily. A further special feature is the dynamic display of speed-dependent variables.
The limit value changes directly with the speed so that the distance between an actual value and the cor­
responding alarm limit value is easily recognisable at any time. All alarm and measuring point lists are avail­
able in tabular form. The displays are operated using the integrated function keys or by means of an ex­
ternal mouse or trackball.
This documentation is intended to make the user acquainted with the operation of the software and to
provide an overview of the system at a glance. Please note that this description is a minimum configuration
of the monitoring system. Extension options are documented separately. The devices belonging to the sys­
tem are also documented extensively in the individual device descriptions.
