ENGINE ROOM SIMULATOR (ERS 4000) Engine Room Simulator ERS 4000

ERS 4000 Network PC-based Simulator Class • Designed for group and team training • Instructor control and monitoring • Up to 12 interactive Trainee workstations

The Engine Room Simulator 4000, developed by Transas, is a maritime simulator meant for the education, training and assessment of engine department personnel, including officers in charge of watch, second and chief engineers.

ERS 4000 meets the requirements of the STCW‘95 Con- ERS class vention and Code. The simulator’s scope of training objec- tives corresponds to the specifications of standard competence for engine department personnel as to Chapter III of STCW‘95, IMO Model Courses 2.07; 2.08; 7.02; 7.04; and facilitates marine engineering training at the operational, Network workplace configuration is flexible and could be adjusted according to the training requirements management and support levels. It is certified by Det Nor- ske Veritas as Class A Simulator.

Electric Power Plant The Ship’s Electric Power Plant incorporated in ERS 4000 in- cludes the main switch board and control panels for diesel- generators, shaft-generator, turbo-generator, emergency diesel-generator, shore supply, consumers, synchronising, automatic and manual control modes, alarm and safety system. Trainee Workstation The simulator imitates the actual dynamics of the transition Propulsion Plant processes, allowing the trainee to acquire the appropriate operation skills. The set of equipment simulated in ERS 4000 complies with the modern standard accepted for ships’ diesel and steam turbine plants. To fully meet the engineering training requirements of its customers, Transas has simulated three of the Simulated Systems Include most widespread types of ship’s propulsion plant, including: • Diesel Generators Emergency switch board • Two-stroke slow-speed diesels: MAN B&W 6S60MC, MAN B&W 10K98MC, Wartsila-Sulzer 6RTA58 with a fixed pitch • Shaft Generator propeller • Turbo Generators • Four-stroke medium-speed diesel of the SEMT Pielstick 16 PC2.2V-400 type with a controllable pitch propeller • Shore Supply • Four-stroke high-speed diesel of the Caterpillar 3508 TA type with reversible reduction gear and fixed pitch propeller • Emergency Generator • Steam turbine cross-compound, double reduction geared (Kawasaki UA-400 as prototype) • Sections of Main Switch Board and Emergency Switch Board • Consumers, feeders, earth monitoring, etc.

Simulated Systems Include • Systems providing operation of propulsion complex • United mimic diagram of systems with machinery and units parameterisation functionality Turbo Generator ERS 4000 incorporates an up-to-date simulated ship alarm system with visual and acoustic signals and automatic log- ger, as well as a powerful safety system with slowdown and shutdown functions and Dead Man system and Dead Man system. These systems are essential for the training of emergency situations and equipment failures on all types of engine room equipment.

‘Virtual Reality’ Engine Room The 3D Engine Room is an innovative module included in the Transas ERS 4000 simulator. With this module, simulator users can solve the following training tasks: • ‘3-D virtual reality’ of the Engine Room area for familiarisation support • Standard and Advanced operation, including troubleshooting • System mimic diagrams and local control places • Familiarisation with Engine Room sounds Ship’s diesel propulsion plant

Hardware Controls To simulate the vessel interior with greater realism and thus further improve the efficiency of training, ERS 4000 can be supplied with full-size control consoles comprising built-in monitoring and control panels, as well as computers. The hardware consoles included in ERS 4000 imitate: • Integrated Engine Control Room control desk • Main Switchboard and Emergency Switchboard of the Ship’s Electric Power Plant • Engine Room local control places • Monitoring and control panels ensuring the inspection of the majority of simulator systems and their control • Alarm panels • Sounds and noises of all the major engine room devices, as well as alarm sound signals • Sound & Visual Alarm Unit. ERS 4000 transmits the complete set of alarm signals to this newly-implemented device External equipment may be connected to create customized controls configuration through universal hardware interface. All sets of ‘real’ consoles supplied with ERS 4000 are provided with built-in computers connected to a lo cal network, which ensures the full interactivity between all the components of the simulator.
