Marine Pro launched at Nor-Shipping 2009

Auto-Maskin launched the Marine Pro Range of Diesel Engine Monitoring and Control solutions at Nor-Shipping 2009.

Auto-Maskin has been leading the market over the last 30 years with it’s range of Diesel Control Units (DCU’s). The Marine Pro range of products extends that lead, and gives customers added benefits to bring operational protection, reliable data and improved decision making to crews and Owners. The Marine Pro range is a series of self contained modules that connect together form simple or complex systems, stand alone or networked locally or across continents. This Press release provides guidance to the benefits and unique advantages that Marine Pro gives.

Why Choose Marine Pro

The Marine Pro range of diesel and vessel supervision equipment is designed to protect investments not just now but into the future. Innovative design and function developed from the existing range of DCU 305 units and key customer inputs provide unique advantages, plus the ability to communicate with multiple data networks. Equally adept at simple stand alone solutions, or as a complex networked system on the vessel or stretching ashore, the Marine Pro range of modules provides unique functional and operational advantages. Self configuring, password protected, 10 languages built in, and simple user interfaces means that crews need no special expertise, no special training. Marine Pro provides the maximum level of protection, accountability  and information demanded by today’s Owners worldwide.

Flexible

Marine Pro is not just an engine supervision system. It has a flexibility and functionality vessel wide that is class leading, emulating much more expensive systems, but simple yet effective. The same building blocks of the system can be applied in multiple applications, meaning a common approach to vessel alarm integration, vessel operation, crew training, service training and information reporting. Whether the vessel requires multiple panels in multiple locations, simple local readouts in a local language, or the same system to oversee all engines, plus hotel services and ships systems such as bilge alarms, tank levels etc, the Marine Pro range is configured simply and easily without special tools or software

Modular

By using a common communication protocol, linked by simple two-wire connections or a standard Ethernet cable / port, the elements of the Marine Pro system simply plug together. The simple building block approach allows selection of functionality to suit the requirements at minimal cost, but maximum effectiveness. Modules vary from the basic core module of the Diesel Control Unit (DCU) to interfaces for AC generators, dedicated shutdown protection units, remote panels, expansion module for other ships systems, and remote telemetry. Each module is configured automatically or, if required, individually using just a laptop and a web browser.

Expandable

The Marine Pro system is capable of growing to meet a range of needs. By using the modules available, the total system can be tailored to suit. Expandable and selectable, the specifier can use the same set of components to meet many requirements. Expandability does not just mean hardware. The ability to remote monitor the equipment connected to the Marine Pro system now just depends upon the vessels ability to communicate to the internet. From a simple e mail should a certain alarm / function occur, to the ability to record a full set of data over extended periods is not only possible but in action today.

Self Configuring

Marine Pro is uncomplicated and designed for use by non experts, both during commissioning and whilst operating. A simple “start wizard” allows the base DCU 410 unit to configure itself to the local requirement or any dedicated configuration that an Owner can develop with the Auto Maskin engineering team prior to or during installation. Any other module then communicating with the base unit then automatically configures itself to that requirement. No user interaction required. No special tools. No unique software. If required, using password protected areas, a user can re-configure some elements of the units using simple drop down boxes in your standard web browser. Each module has its own web server built in and can be used independently.
