Integrated monitoring, alarm and control system

The IMACS software (SW) is created and modified through the database. IMACS SW consists of standardized program modules, that are intercommunicate with the database. Such an approach warranties SW reliability and also reduces design, tests, commissioning and documentation release laboriousness.

MANAGER 300 INTEGRATED MONITORING, ALARM AND CONTROL SYSTEM (IMACS) Integrated monitoring, alarm and control system (IMACS) «Manager 300»
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.) Products of MNS LTD MNS-601 WARNING AND MANEUVERING SIGNALS CONTROL UNIT Unit MNS-601 is intended for:
- 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. Products of MNS LTD MNS-611 DEPLOYED ANCHOR CHAIN LENGTH INDICATOR Unit MNS-611 is intended for usage on vessels and ships as the main
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. Products of MNS LTD
