Alarm Monitoring & Control System (AMCS) · Automation & Control
Distributed alarm, monitoring and control system that can be tailored to meet individual requirements of complex vessels The K-Chief 700 marine automation system is a distributed monitoring and control system. Its flexible, architecture allows it to be used for a wide range of tasks within offshore industry, safety- and vessel control systems. TheK-Chief 700is primarily a stand alone system that covers all important functions onboard a vessel, such as: The K-Chief 700 system is built from modular hardware components and modular application software. Any number of these modules can be combined to provide an optimal solution for a specific vessel's requirements. The K-Chief 700 marine automation system is based on distributed processing where the various processes are controlled by input/output (I/O) modules located close to the processing units. Our remote I/O modules, may also be installed in our own cabinets or those supplied by others. Typical examples are switchboards or valve control cabinets, to achieve complete installation and pre-commissioning before installation. The K-Chief 700 remote I/O range includes modules for a wide variety of applications including installations in hazardous areas. The K-Chief 700 marine automation system may be integrated seamlessly with Kongsberg Maritime dynamic positioning, propulsion control systems and custody transfer system. Our integrated solutions offer significant advantages over stand alone systems: Integrating all functions for monitoring and control of a vessel provides benefits both technically and economically. Functions are integrated to reduce the need for hardware and software functions and to reduce interface requirements. The benefits of system integration are fully realised when all components are based on the same technology, both in hardware and software.
| UPS battery test/replacement | battery replacement typically every 3-5 years, per UPS manufacturer schedule |
|---|---|
| Software/firmware review against Kongsberg service bulletins | annually |
| Field sensor calibration check | annually, or per the class requirement for the associated machinery |
| Cabinet cooling filter cleaning | every 3-6 months |
| Full backup of system configuration/logic | after any change, and reviewed annually |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Automation cabinet temperature | keep within the Kongsberg-specified operating range - sustained over-temperature shortens component life and increases the fault rate |

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Note: this record is filed under 'X-Band Radar' / 'Radar & ECDIS' but the actual product is the Kongsberg K-Chief 700 marine automation, alarm and monitoring system - the content above addresses that system. Automation systems tied to machinery alarm/monitoring functions normally fall under Continuous Survey Machinery; class checks that alarm/monitoring functions tested at survey match the approved list, and that any independent backup instrumentation required by class rules remains functional.
