In previous articles we looked at various problems with cargo cranes, this time a PLC failure error occurred and cargo crane does not start.
What to do in such situation and how to restore the operation of the cargo crane will be discussed in this article.
As usual, the first step is to refer to the Troubleshooting manual.
Greetings readers! Today we have a problem with the anemometer, which shows the wind speed and direction on the bridge. The readings were stuck in one direction (opposite to the wind). At this speed the wind is displayed correctly.
What is an anemometer?
An anemometer (or anemoscope) is a weather vane that consists of a generator, a synchronous motor, bearings, gear guides, rings and a brush device. All this can be said in one name - transmitter.
Greetings! Today we got a "Motor Fault" error on the cargo crane and the crane doesn't want to start. In the article we will consider the main actions of ETO when searching for and eliminating this malfunction.
The problem is quite large-scale and it can be anything related primarily to electric drives of both the main and auxiliary mechanisms of the crane. There was also a short-term accompanying signal in the ECR on AMS "low insulation 440V", which further narrowed the circle of my search.
Greetings! In this article, we'll look at some of the problems with the Salwico Consilium fire system on a 10+ year old vessel and how to troubleshoot these issues.
In the official instructions for this system, you can find a lot of information about the problems that occur during the operation of the Salwico fire alarm. But today we will consider only some of them.
Any fire system on a ship is powered by two sources (main switchboard and emergency switchboard, usually 220V), and additional batteries (usually two 12V each, connected in series).
Attention! If you have an old Salwico Consilium fire system on your vessel, avoid turning it off completely, as this may cause it to fail to boot later.
The first problem that happened with this system was error No. 158 BATTERY CABLE / FUSE FAULT.
