MAN B&W Engine Control Systems Guide

This document summarizes the key components and functions of a manoeuvring system for a reversible marine engine. The system allows the engine to be controlled either manually from a console or remotely using electronic signals. It includes features for starting, stopping, switching between ahead and astern operation, and setting engine speed. A slow turning function is also described that slowly rotates the engine before starting to avoid damage if liquid has accumulated on the pistons. Control requirements for plants using controllable pitch propellers are also outlined.
