Integrated alarm and control system for shipping

The ICMS2007 the most flexible integrated alarm and control system yet. It is especially suited to the retrofit and conversion market. The system utilises off-the-shelf hardware and software, both of which come highly recommended within the industry.

As the ICMS2007 embraces an industry-standard open architecture you can draw support from a worldwide network of system integrators in the unlikely event of a problem.

Power management systems

The PMS2003 is a competitively priced piece of industrial COTS equipment based upon open architecture and is scaleable for all sizes of power plant software. Conformity has been assessed by Lloyd’s Register.

GSM-enabled vessel alarm system

The Harbourwatch is designed for workboats and other vessels that are not manned 24hrs/day. It is a configurable and expandable alarm system that will report problems to owners by sending a text message to their mobile phones without the need for a land line connection to the vessel.

Universal alarm annunciator

The universal alarm annunciator has been developed to provide a complete solution for most applications, from a single generator to a complete plant.

Refrigeration compressor control systems

Retrofit-based control systems for refrigeration compressors. A typical system would control two Sabroe CMO26 and two TCMO28 compressors.

DP alert system for dive support vessels

This is a standard requirement for dive support vessels and was used on a vessel being converted for the new task. This system has one master and five slave units, and is used to advise the dive controllers of a degradation to the vessel’s dynamic positioning system so that appropriate steps may be taken to ensure the diver’s safety.

Spares

P & S Automation act as a ‘one stop spares shop’ for many customers, we are able to source current and in many cases obsolete spares. Where spares are no longer available we can often re-manufacture replacement units such as the ten channel relay interface module.
