FT NavVision

Model: FT NavVision Brand: Imtech Marine & Offshore

Imtech 19s new Alarm, Monitoring & Control System is the automation solution for seagoing cargo vessels. The system was developed to provide our Customers a modular & scalable AMCS including installation and service. To achieve this, Imtech Marine Germany cooperated with Free Technics and evolved the established FT NavVision system to meet the highest requirements. The combination of Imtech Marine Germany 19s integration and customer knowledge with Free Technics 19 software expertise and existing product line resulted in a modular, flexible and state-of-the-art AMCS which complies with the automation requirements for Unmanned Machinery Spaces. Imtech AMCS provides control, monitoring and safeguarding of all equipment such as engines, generators, pumps refrigeration and hydraulic systems.

System Architecture

The Imtech AMCS infrastructure uses a failsafe redundant Local Area Network with a distributed database and redundant data server configuration. The AMCS server application is installed on each Operator Work Station (or OWS).
Operator Work Stations

The operator Work Stations are fully solid state equipped and Windows Embedded based control & monitoring stations, complete with keyboard, trackball or touchscreen. All OWS 19s can perform various roles (server, client, alarm panel) and are able to automatically switch roles when needed, resulting in a high flexibility and availability of the system. The OWS 19s are connected to the I/O substations via a redundant, failsafe LAN connection.
I/O Substations

The I/O substations are used to connect the platform sensors, actuators and serial connections to third party devices. A substation consists of a WAGO 750 Series PLC that is extendable up to 1.000 I/O ports per substation. As a result, Imtech AMCS is able to read out and control more than 10.000 measuring points.
