Project Description
Automated metocean support system
AMSS «AWOS-MNS» shall provide receipt, processing, recording, displaying and output to the users the following information:
- Environmental meteorological parameters:apparent wind velocity;
- apparent wind direction;
- true wind velocity;
- true wind direction;
- atmospheric pressure;
- air temperature;
- relative air humidity;
- cloud ceiling;
- meteorological (optical) visual range.
- Meteorological data from Earth metrological satellites (EMS) «Meteor» and «NOAA» type in form of images of underlying terrain and cloud cover of the Earth.
- Facsimile and telegraph data from radio meteorological stations (RMS).

is based on Schneider Electric PLC and remote I/O units (KMSPI set)
of own production. Remote I/O's communicate with PLC through redundant
CAN bus and thus provide significant cables saving.
IMACS can be applied on different types of vessels as a whole or as a separate
subsystems (alarm system, power management system, cargo control system,
Hi Hi alarm system, level measuring system, tacho system etc.)


- automatic sending of control signals to operation units, running sound signaling facilities if vessel is in restricted visibility, as well as sound and light signaling facilities while maneuvering;
- manual activation of sound and light signaling facilities.


or additional indicator including and as a part of the Integrated
Bridge System (IBS). Unit MNS-611 provides signal reception and processing
from synchrotransmitter of mooring/anchor windlass or capstans and deployed
anchor chain length indication.
