009904 Ch35,0099,Prop. Valve Test Set Poin->Suprv. Ch35,0099,Prop. Valve Test S
Description: MBD Special test purposes only
Cause: MBD special test equipment not connected
Effect: No effect on engine. Alarm is only present in MPC Test mode.
Sugg. Action: None. Alarm will disappear when MPC is rebooted into Normal mode
010106 ECU Commands->No Commands Received from ECU A

Description: Commanded control values from commanding MPC cannot be received over the control network.
Cause: Typically caused from a failed MPC. Could also be caused by performance loss on the control network.
Effect: This will force the ACU to accept commanded control values from the redundant ECU. These control
values involves the HPS and the blower control. If there is no alarm for missing telegrams from the
redundant ECU, there would normally not be any change in engine behaviour. If, on the other hand,
alarms are claiming that both control commands from ECU A and ECU B are missing, then the ACU
cannot receive new control commands from the ECUs
Sugg. Action: Combined with other active alarms this should be used for diagnostics purpose, and thereby as a guide
for finding the actual cause of the problem.
010107 ECU Commands->No Commands Received from ECU B

010110 I/O Configuration->ACU Comman

010111 I/O Configuration->ACU Comman

Cause: Typically due to deviations between redundant inputs signals to ECS. Input signals from either sensors
or serial connections.
02020104 Amplifier->Bypass Amp. Current Supervision

Description: Amplifier Current for bypass valve not within range
Cause: Amplifier failure
Effect: Bypass controll is not possible

02020105 Amplifier->Bypass Amp. Reports Internal Fault
Description: Amplifier for swashplate pump proportional valve has shut down due to too high current consumption
by the valve
Cause: Most probably a failure in the cabling to the sensor, or
failure of the sensor, or missing sensor power supply, or
failure of the input of the MPC.
Effect: Control of swashplate on actual pump is stopped since the amplifier cannot deliver the required current
before it has been reset. If possible, the swashplate will be set in fail-safe position corresponding to full
flow in AH direction.
Sugg. Action: Inspect entire cabling to and from amplifier. Notice this includes several connections to the ACU and to
the proportional valve. If cabling is OK replace ACU, check/replace proportional valve, or check/replace
amplifier.
020281 Var. Bypass->Var. Byp. Travel Feedback failed

Description: The Travel Feedback signal was not received.
Cause: Failure in Wiring or variable bypass encoder.
Effect: The Bypass system state goes into failsafe mode and either:
1. Closes
2. Opens
3. Stops (Log in Last)
Sugg. Action: Inspect cables to encoder/switches.
Inspect encoders/switches.
If the problem is not resolved, Change to manual control.

Description: Close switch of the variable bypass servo is faulty according to the actual encoder position.
Cause: Wiring to switch defect, switch defect, misalignment of switches or wrong encoder feedback
1. Closes
2. Opens
0210 Blower Ctrl. 1->Blower 1 Ctrl

Description: The el. motor cannot be controlled by the ECS.
Cause: Can be caused by manually forcing the el. motor to "Local" control or "Off" position on the el. motor
switchboard or electrical malfunctions inside the el. motor switchboard or alternatively the cabling
between the el. motor switchboard and the blower controlling MPC.
Effect: The el. motor will either stop when it is commanded to run by the ECS or run when it is commanded to
stop by the ECS.
Sugg. Action: Check the blower operation control switch at the blower switchboard. The ECS expect the switch to be
in the "Remote" control position. Check the cabling of the signal ID's 8620-x, 8621-x, and 8623-x
between the MPC and the blower switchboard. Check the relays inside the blower switchboard. If all
above seems OK, set the switch in "Off" position and wait a few seconds. Set the switch back in
"Remote" position.

070119 Hydraulic Power Supply->Swash
Description: The engine driven swashplate pump that delivers the high hydraulic pressure cannot be controlled by
the MPC.
Cause: Can be caused by loss of the proportional valve position feedback signal from the proportional valve on
the swashplate pump. Alternatively, by loss of the swashplate position feedback signal. Other causes
are failing proportional valve amplifier and mechanical pump related faults
Effect: The pump will try to swivel its swashplate to deliver full flow in the engine AH direction. Hence, the
pump will most likely deliver more in this fault situation, than during normal situations. In case of
reversing the engine, this pump cannot contribute with flow to the HPS. This corresponds to loss of 1
pump. If a mechanical pump related fault have occurred it is unknown if the pump will contribute at all
with flow to the HPS (e.g. broken pump shaft).
Sugg. Action: Check cabling of power out connector J09 to proportional valve amplifier. Check the cabling of
proportional amplifier OK signal, ID 1224-x. Check the cabling of the proportional valve position
feedback signal, 1238-x, from the LVDT amplifier to the MPC and to the proportional valve. Check the
cabling of the swasplate position feedback signal, ID 1222-x, between the pump and the LVDT
amplifier and from the amplifier to the MPC. Check the cabling of the proportional valve amplifier
enable signal, ID 1223-x, from the MPC to the amplifier. Check the cabling of swashplate command
setpoint signal, ID 1240-x, from the MPC to the proportional valve amplifier. Check the current cabling
from this amplifier to proportional valve. Check the pump and proportional valve for mechanical faults
and replace spare parts if necessary.
07013604 Amplifier->PV_AMP Amp. Current Supervision

Description: This alarm is not in use
Cause: This alarm is not in use
Effect: This alarm is not in use
Sugg. Action: This alarm is not in use. If you see this, please contact MAN B&W Diesel
07013605 Amplifier->PV_AMP Amp. Reports Internal Fault

Description: Amplifier for swashplate pump proportional valve has shut down due to too high current consumption
by the valve
Cause: Cabling between ACU and amplifier, cabling from amplifier to proportional valve. Proportional valve
spool friction. Amplifier failure (fuse).
Effect: Control of swashplate on actual pump is stopped since the amplifier cannot deliver the required current
before it has been reset. If possible, the swashplate will be set in fail-safe position corresponding to full
flow in AH direction.
Sugg. Action: Inspect entire cabling to and from amplifier. Notice this includes several connections to the ACU and to
the proportional valve. If cabling is OK replace ACU, check/replace proportional valve, or check/replace
amplifier.
07013910 El motor->Pump motor ctrl failed

stop by the ECS.
Sugg. Action: Check the el. motor operation control switch at the el. motor switchboard. The ECS expect the switch
to be in the "Remote" control position. Check the cabling of the signal ID's 1217-x, 1218-x, and 1219-x
between the MPC and the el. motor switchboard. Check the relays inside the switchboard. If all above
seems OK, set the switch in "Off" position and wait a few seconds. Set the switch back in "Remote"
position.
070210 Hydraulic Power Supply->Start

stop by the ECS.
Sugg. Action: Check the startup pump operation control switch at the startup pump switchboard. The ECS expect the
switch to be in the "Remote" control position. Check the cabling of the signal ID's 1210-x, 1212-x, and
1213-x between the MPC and the startup pump switchboard. Check the relays inside the startup pump
switchboard.

0706 Hydraulic Power Supply->Hydra
Description: Minor leakage from the drip pan below the HPS is detected.
Cause: A minor hydraulic leakage from one or more engine driven swashplate pumps and/or the startup pump
sets is detected by the leakage sensor, ID 1235.
Effect: Hydraulic leakage
Sugg. Action: Find and repair the cause to the hydraulic leak.
0708 Hydraulic Power Supply->Hydra

Description: Major leakage from the drip pan below the HPS is detected.
Cause: A major hydraulic leakage from one or more engine driven swashplate pumps and/or the startup pump
Effect: The ECS will generate an engine shutdown request (cancellable) to the safety-system.
0709 Hydraulic Power Supply->Low inlet pump 4 pressure

Description: Lubrication oil pressure is too low.
Cause: Lube oil- or hydraulic high- pressure build-up prevented.
Effect: No effect.
Sugg. Action: Check the lubrication oil supply system for faults (pumps, valves etc.). Check for leaks in the high
pressure system.
0710 Hydraulic Power Supply->Low inlet pump 5 pressure

Effect: No effect.
pressure system.
0711 Hydraulic Power Supply->Inlet pump 4 pressure deviation

Description: Lubrication oil pressure sensor (1204-x) on this ACU deviates from the lubrication oil pressure sensors
on the two other ACUs.
Cause: The sensor is either dead, is drifting, or the valve before the inlet to the engine driven pump is closed.
Effect: The ECS will use the two other sensors for lubrication pressure evaluation. If the valve for lubrication oil
inlet to the engine driven pump is closed, there is a risk that the pump will cavitate if the fault is not
corrected before engine start.
Sugg. Action: Check the sensors to find the drifting sensor and replace the faulty sensor.
0712 Hydraulic Power Supply->Inlet pump 5 pressure deviation

0719 Hydraulic Power Supply->Doubl

Description: Double pipe leak.
Cause: Flow is detected in the outer pipe.
Effect: There is a leak from the inner pipe to the outer pipe.
Sugg. Action: Search and repair the hydraulic leak. Check seals in double pipe, valves (e.g. pos. 333).

Description: The minor leakage detected in the drain box, connected to the drip pan, will cause a timed cancellable
shutdown.
Cause: A minor hydraulic leakage from one or more engine driven swashplate pumps and/or the startup pump
Effect: Hydraulic leakage
0724 Hydraulic Power Supply->Doubl

Description: Double pipe pressure high.
Cause: Pressure has been detected in the outer pipe of the double pipe.
Effect: There is a leak from the inner pipe to the outer pipe.
Sugg. Action: Search and repair the hydraulic leak. Check seals in double pipe, valves (e.g. pos. 333).
0725 Hydraulic Power Supply->Double pipe press. low

Description: Double pipe pressure low.
Cause: Pressure lower than specified has been detected in the outer pipe of the double pipe.
Effect: Too low pressure in outer pipe of double pipe construction
Sugg. Action: Check valve 333 in the accumulator block. Check valve 431, drain valve from double pipe, on the
HCUs.
1109-304 I/O Configuration->Ch23,1109-

Description: The alarm indicates that the signal from the switch connected to the specified channel is outside the
legal range. The cabling and the connection to the switch are supervised by mean of a 6.8kOhm
resistor that is mounted across the switch.
Cause: Most probably a failure in the cabling to the switch, or
missing supervision resistor across the switch, or failure of the input of the MPC.
Effect: Reduced supervision quality. Redundancy lost.
Sugg. Action: Check the cabling and the resistor of the switch. Check the current into terminal "C" of the channel. It
must be within 1 and 18 mA. If it is while the alarm is present, the MPC may be damaged and must be
replaced.

Description: The alarm indicates that the supervision current for supervision of the cabling and connection is outside
the legal range. The specified channel has a relay contact for activation of a component. The current to
the component is too passing an input channel for supervision, and the signal measured by this
channel is outside the legal range.
Cause: Most probably:
A failure in the cabling to the component.
A blown fuse in the supply plug.
Failure of the output or input of the MPC.
Sugg. Action: Check the cabling to the component, according to the installation drawings.
Check that the voltage of the power connector is 24V. If not, the fuse may be blown.
Check that there is current in the cable to the coil.
Check the operation of the relay contact is correct.
Check that the controlled component gets the 24V signal and functions correctly.
If the function is OK and the supervision current is present, while the alarm is present, the MPC may be
damaged and must be replaced.

SALOG System->AssertLog Stopped

Description: The built-in event log in the MPC has stopped. This event log is used for diagnosis only.
Cause: The event log stops when used storage has become invalid.
Effect: There is no immediate effect, but diagnostic capabilities in case of hard- or software failures will be
limited.
Sugg. Action: Contact MAN B&W Diesel
SBAT System->Battery Level Low

Description: Onboard battery level low on MPC.
Cause: Battery wears.
Effect: As long as the MPC remains switched on, there is no effect. But if the MPC is switched off or power is
lost, the MPC will loose its time settings.
Sugg. Action: Replace battery.
SFuseF12 System->24V power supervision

Description: The alarm indicates that Fuse 12 of the specified MPC is blown. Fuse 12 protects the sensor power
supply, terminal "D", of the analog inputs, channels 20 to 37, of the MPC.
Cause: Electrical overload or wear of the fuse.
Effect: A number of the sensors and signals connected to channels 20 to 37 may give wrong values, and a
number of supervision alarms may have occurred at the same time.
Sugg. Action: Check for possible failures in the external cabling to channels 20 to 37. Replace the fuse.

Description: The alarm indicates that Fuse 13 of the specified MPC is blown. Fuse 13 protects the power outlets of:
channels 40 to 47, terminal "D",
channels 48 to 53, terminal "E",
channels 60 and 61, terminal "H".
Effect: A number of the signals related to channels 40 to 61 may be wrong. Effect on engine behaviour is
unknown.
Sugg. Action: Check for possible failures in the external cabling to channels 40 to 61.Replace the fuse.

SFuseF13
ACUXX
Description: The alarm indicates that Fuse 14 of the specified MPC is blown. Fuse 14 protects the power supply for
the analog outputs, channels 70 and 71, of the MPC.
Effect: The setpoint to the high pressure hydraulic pump's proportional valve is lost (Ch. 70). The pump will
swivel its swashplate to +100% and deliver full flow corresponding to engine rotation direction AH, and
no flow AS. Other alarms will indicate pump control failure. If this pump is the only failing pump, there
will not be an immediate effect on the engine operation. Ch.71 indicates the hydraulic pressure to the
ECR, this will be lost as well.
Sugg. Action: Check for possible failures in the external cabling to channels 70 and 71. Replace the fuse. If it blows
again the MPC must be replaced.

Description: The alarm indicates that Fuse 9 of the specified MPC is blown. Fuse 9 protects power supply connector
9 of the MPC.
Effect: J9 powers the high pressure hydraulic pump's proportional valve. If fuse F9 is blown, the pump will
swivel its swashplate to +100% and deliver full flow corresponding to engine rotation direction AH, and
no flow AS. Other alarms will indicate pump control failure. If this pump is the only failing pump, there
will not be an immediate effect on the engine operation.
Sugg. Action: Check for possible failures in the external cabling to connector 9. Replace the fuse.
SInvParm System->Invalid parameters

Description: The MPC holds invalid parameters. The MPC cannot start its application without the correct
parameters.
Cause: The alarm is caused from the MPC automatically loads the wrong parameter set after a replacement of
the MPC.
Effect: The behaviour of the application in the MPC is not correct. The precise effect of this situation is
unknown and care should be taken.
Sugg. Action: If the involved MPC just have been repalced, wait for the automatic preparation to complete. If this
takes more than 10 minutes, the LED colour signalling for fault indication should be inspected. If this
proves unhelpful, reset the MPC unit. If it still does not help, contact MAN B&W Diesel.
SInvSw System->Invalid software

Description: The MPC is running an incorrect application program
Cause: Can be caused by replacing an MPC when both MOP A and MOP B are unavailable.
Effect: The ECS could seriously be affected by having the MPC running incorrect software. The exact
behaviour is unknown since it also depends on which MPC is involved.
Sugg. Action: Switch off the involved MPC immediately. When either MOP A or MOP B is operating again, the MPC
can be switched on again. When this is done, wait for the automatic preparation of the MPC to finish
before the MPC will operate correctly again.
SPow24VA System->24V power supervision

Description: The alarm indicates that power inlet, connector 1, terminal B, is powerless.
Cause: The breaker of power supply A for the specified MPC is turned off. 24V power supply A is turned off.
The power cabling is defect.
Effect: No immediate effect, as the MPC is supplied by power supply B.
Sugg. Action: Check for the causes.
SPow24VB System->24V power supervision

Description: The alarm indicates that power inlet, connector 1, terminal C, is powerless.
Cause: The breaker of power supply B for the specified MPC is turned off. 24V power supply B is turned off.
Effect: No immediate effect, as the MPC is supplied by power supply A.

SWDogDact System->Watchdogs deactivated
Description: The watchdog on the MPC has been disabled.
Cause: Typically caused by wrong setting of the watchdog DIP-switch on the CPU board.
Effect: There is no immediate effect, but with watchdogs disabled the MPC may not respond correctly to
extreme software and hardware failures.
Sugg. Action: The MPC CPU board DIP-switch should be checked and corrected if it is disabled

Description: Inconsistent or missing Tacho signals recorded.
Cause: Defect wiring, sensors or encoders. Damaged teeth on tacho wheel (if fitted). Damaged sensor support
console.
Effect: The MPC had to change active set of tacho sensors. If both sensor set A and B fail on one CCU control
of injection, exhaust and start air valves are stopped.
Sugg. Action: If all signals on one tacho stay low: Check that the tacho sensor power is OK. Hint: All sensor signal

Effect: The MPC had to change active set of tacho sensors. If both sensor set A and B fail on one CCU control
of injection, exhaust and start air valves are stopped.
010119 Tacho->Delta Tacho B too big

Description: The two tacho inputs are not aligned within tolerance.
Cause: The distance between the tacho marker signals does not correspond to the values set in the service
terminal.
Effect: Engine may run unsteady if the tacho system changes from input A to input B or vice versa.
Sugg. Action: Correct adjustment at next engine overhaul or engine stop.
010122 Tacho->Tacho Alignment Err

Description: One or both tachos are out of adjustment.
Cause: Encoder drive slipping or encoder mount out of adjustment
010127 Tacho->Tacho Input A slip

Description: Tacho A position signal is wrong
Cause: All signals are turning on/off in the correct sequence, but the position of the tacho does not match the
other tacho and the signal from the turning wheel sensor.
Effect: The MPC had to change active set of tacho sensors. If both sensor set A and B fail on one ECU control
is taken over by redundant ECU. If both set A and B fail on both ECU A and B the engine will stop.
010128 Tacho->Tacho Input B slip

Description: Tacho B position signal is wrong
Cause: All signals are turning on/off in the correct sequence, but the position of the tacho does not match the
other tacho and the signal from the turning wheel sensor.
010129 Tacho->Marker A Input slip

Description: Tacho A Marker Slave signal (crankshaft) is wrong
Cause: Marker Slave A signal comes on a crankshaft different position than reported by tacho A and tacho B
Effect: A warning that the encoders or the marker slave signal from the crankshaft are unsteady.

010414 Fuel Telegram Handler->No Telegram Received from ECU A

Description: Once per revolution a CCU must receive a network message with commands for activation of injection
and exhaust valves. Both ECU A and B send a copy of these commands. For some reason the
commands were not received from the specified ECU.
Cause: Typically this is caused by control network problems or malfunctioning ECU.
Effect: If commands are only missing from 1 ECU the engine is not affected by it. It is however a significant
indication that something is not right. When commands are not received from both ECU A and B on the
same CCU fuel injection is stopped while exhaust valve activation is continued with latest received
timing.
Sugg. Action: If the alarm is only from one CCU verify its network cabling and/or replace CCU. If multiple CCUs
report the alarm from the same ECU verify the ECUs network cabling and/or replace ECU. If that does
not help verify complete network cabling and contact MAN B&W.
010415 Fuel Telegram Handler->No Telegram Received from ECU B

Description: Once per revolution a CCU must receive a network message with commands for activation of injection
and exhaust valves. Both ECU A and B send a copy of these commands. For some reason the

Sugg. Action: If the alarm is only from one CCU verify its network cabling and/or replace CCU. If multiple CCUs
report the alarm from the same ECU verify the ECUs network cabling and/or replace ECU. If that does
not help verify complete network cabling and contact MAN B&W.
0109A IO Configuration->Shut Down

Description: A shut down has been ordered.
Cause: Unknown
Effect: Fuel injections are stopped and exhaust valve operation is continued as long as hydraulic supply
pressure is available.
Sugg. Action: The shut down must be reset in safety system. Then a stop command must be issued from active
control station before a new start is allowed by ECS.
0109B IO Configuration->Suprv. Ch32,2002,Shut Down

Effect: Latest valid signal value is used. CCU will shut down when required as long as ECU receives correct
shut down signal from safety system. It will however not stop an already initiated injection if shut down
occurs.
Sugg. Action: Check cabling and verify if 1 or all CCU's report the failure. If only 1 check CCU cabling. If all check
safety system side.
0227 Command Handler->HCU Oil Leakage

Description: Leakage has been detected at the specified HCU.
Cause: A leakage is detected in the high pressure fuel pipe.
Effect: High pressure fuel is in the outer pipe. A leakage in the outer pipe will result in fuel spray onto engine
components and maybe even on personnel. The control system provides an option (set by MAN B&W)
for stopping fuel injections on the specific cylinder during this situation.
Sugg. Action: If automatic fuel cut out is not performed by ECS, manually cut of fuel to that specific cylinder via the
chief limiter on MOP. Reduce engine load to ecceptable level with 1 cylinder cut out. Stop engine when
possible and repair high pressure pipe.

030116 Fuel Injection->Fuel Plunger Not Returned
Description: Fuel plunger did not return to below expected position before next injection was about to start.
Cause: Fuel oil inlet pressure low, fuel pump suction valve failure, ELFI valve spool stuck failure, fuel plunger
stuck, injection valve(s) failure
Effect: Fuel injections can be significantly affected causing exhaust gas temperature to deviate between the
cylinders. General cylinder conditions can also be affected if fault is not corrected.
Sugg. Action: Check fuel suction valve, Fuel supply pressure and then ELFI/FIVA main spool stiction.
030117 Fuel Injection->Fuel Plunger Stroke Too High

Description: Fuel plunger moves more than expected with the current fuel index.
Cause: Failing suction valve in fuel pump or failing injection valve(s). Faults on CCU hardware can also cause
this.
Sugg. Action: Check fuel pump suction valve, injection valves. If no result replace CCU.
030118 Fuel Injection->Fuel Plunger Stroke Too Low

Description: Fuel plunger moves less than expected with the current fuel index.
Cause: Failing injection valves, hydraulic supply pressure or ELFI/FIVA valve
Sugg. Action: Inspect hydraulic supply, reduced injection nozzle area and pressure booster
03023209 Exhaust Valve Supervision->Exhaust Valve Open Stroke Low

Description: The exhaust valve spindle did not move sufficiently for the control system to be sure that the scavenge
process has been carried out as required for further injections.
Cause: Cabling between CCU and ELVA/FIVA valve, failing ELVA/FIVA valve, missing oil supply to hydraulic
pushrod, missing air supply to exhaust valve air spring.
Effect: The injections are stopped and Slowdown request are ordered. Attempts to open exhaust valve remain.
Sugg. Action: Verify cabling, oil supply and air supply the exhaust valve. If all OK replace ELVA/FIVA valve.
03023210 Exhaust Valve Supervision->Exh. Valve Closed Position Changed

Description: The measurement on the exhaust valve spindle indicates that the valve moved during a period where it
should have been fully closed all the time.
Cause: Failing air spring, failing ELVA valve, too high hydraulic oil tank return pressure, failing exhaust valve
actuator and/or dampers.
Effect: The exhaust valve might not be fully closed when it should causing a risk for reduced compression
pressure, increased temperatures on valve seat and exhaust gas and reduced air excess ratios
(smoke).
Sugg. Action: Verify air spring pressure and return pressure. If OK replace ELVA. If still no good result verify exhaust
valve actuator and top dampers.
03023313 Exhaust Valve Timing Controller->Exhaust Valve Opening Too Slow

Description: Exhaust valve takes longer time to open than the automatic compensation in the control system is
willing to accept.
Cause: Too high cylinder pressure when exhaust valve opening is initiated. Too low hydraulic pressure giving
too little power when opening exhaust valve.
Effect: Correct exhaust valve open timing cannot be expected while this alarm is active. Opening might be
later than desired causing a minor increase in blow back.
Sugg. Action: Check cylinder PMI balance, hydraulic supply pressure and air spring.

CCUXX
03023314 Exhaust Valve Timing Controller->Exhaust Valve Opening Too Fast
Description: Exhaust valve takes longer or shorter time to open than the automatically compensation in the control
system is willing to accept.
Cause: Too low or high air spring pressure. Too cold hydraulic supply oil temperature. After having
disassembled the exhaust valve house it can take a few hours before the air spring is fully functioning
again.
Effect: Correct exhaust valve close timing cannot be expected while this alarm is active. This can cause a
compression and maximum pressure that deviates from the desired values.
03023315 Exhaust Valve Timing Controller->Exhaust Valve Closing Too Slow

Description: Exhaust valve takes longer or shorter time to close than the automatic compensation in the control
again.
Sugg. Action: Verify cylinder compression, maximum and mean pressure with PMI equipment. If deviations from
desired values are too large correct them adjust via MOP. When this alarm dissapears undo the
adjustments.
03023316 Exhaust Valve Timing Controller->Exhaust Valve Closing Too Fast

Description: Exhaust valve takes longer or shorter time to close than the automatic compensation in the control
again.
030306 ElFi Valve->Position Feedback Signal Failure

Description: The position feedback on the specific injection controlling valve has shown movements that are not
physically realistic.
Cause: Typically loose connection in cabling. On some early ELFI valves wire breakage has been seen
internally in the valve.
Effect: When the fault is detected injections are stopped for a period of a few seconds and Slowdown request
are ordered. Then injections are re-attempted until the fault is detected again.
Sugg. Action: Inspect entire cabling to and from amplifier. Notice this includes several connections to the CCU and to
the ELFI/FIVA valve. If cabling OK replace CCU, check, replace ELFI/FIVA valve, check and finally
replace amplifier.
03031104 Amplifier->ELFI Amp. Current Supervision

Description: The CCU constantly orders an appropriate current for controlling the ELFI/FIVA valve. The current is
delivered by the ELFI/FIVA amplifier located in the CCU box. For supervision purpose the amplifier also
measures the actual delivered current. When the delivered current is not equal to the ordered this
alarm is released.
Cause: Typically the cause is faulty cabling to or from the amplifier. More seldom the actual amplifier or the
CCU has been seen to cause the fault.
Effect: The injections are stopped for a few seconds before trying to inject again. This will obviously lead to
large exhaust temperature deviations between the cylinders.
Sugg. Action: Check cabling between CCU and amplifier and check cabling between amplifier and ELFI/FIVA spool.
Reset amplifier by switching power to the CCU off and then back on. If alarm re-appears just after
power up check amplifier fuse. Replace amplifier if fuse OK. If cylinder works OK some minutes before
the alarm comes back replace ELFI valve.

03031105 Amplifier->ELFI Amp. Reports Internal Fault
Description: Amplifier for ELFI/FIVA valve has shut down due to too high current consumption by the valve.
Cause: Cabling between CCU and amplifier, cabling from amplifier to valve spool. ELFI pilot spool friction.
Amplifier failure (fuse).
Effect: Injections are stopped since the amplifier cannot deliver the required current before it has been reset.
In case of FIVA exhaust valve operation is also stopped.

030406 FIVA Valve->Position Feedback Signal Failure

Description: The position feedback on the specific injection controlling valve has shown movements that are not
physically realistic.
Cause: Typically loose connection in cabling. On some early ELFI valves wire breakage has been seen
internally in the valve.
Effect: When the fault is detected injections are stopped for a period of a few seconds and Slowdown request

Sugg. Action: Check cabling between CCU and amplifier and check cabling between amplifier and ELFI/FIVA spool.
Reset amplifier by switching power to the CCU off and then back on. If alarm re-appears just after
power up check amplifier fuse. Replace amplifier if fuse OK. If cylinder works OK some minutes before
the alarm comes back replace ELFI valve.
03041105 Amplifier->FIVA Amp. Reports Internal Fault

Description: Amplifier for ELFI/FIVA valve has shut down due to too high current consumption by the valve.
Cause: Cabling between CCU and amplifier, cabling from amplifier to valve spool. ELFI pilot spool friction.
Amplifier failure (fuse).
Effect: Injections are stopped since the amplifier cannot deliver the required current before it has been reset.
In case of FIVA exhaust valve operation is also stopped.
replace amplifier.
030502 ElVa Valve->Too Late PSP Setup

Description: Internal ECS fault situation. An internal calculation was completed too late.
Cause: Very uncertain. A partly failing network can cause significantly increased cpu load on the MPCs leading
to unacceptable delays on some calculations.
Effect: The exhaust valve operation will probably be affected leading to cancellation of some injections also.
Sugg. Action: Contact MAN B&W. Monitor exhaust gas temperature. If temperature is OK continues running is OK. If
not shut off that cylinder and continue with reduced load.
030511 ElVa Valve->ELVA Valve Status

Description: The ELVA valve, which activates the exhaust valve, indicates an internal fault.
Cause: An internal failure in the ELVA valve.
Effect: If the ELVA valve is failing exhaust valve will not be activated, which then again causes the injections
on that cylinder also to be stopped.
Sugg. Action: Check cabling between CCU and ELVA. If OK replace ELVA.

Description: Feedback from the cylinder lubricator main piston movement is failing.
Cause: No stroke or no full stroke.
Effect: No cylinder lubrication on the affected cylinder. ECS will still try to activate the injector electrically.
Slowdown request is send from ECS.
Sugg. Action: Replace the injector.
031221 Cylinder Lubrication->No Cylinder Lube Oil

Description: Cylinder lubrication oil detector reports no lubrication oil.
Cause: Cylinder lubrication oil supply could be blocked.
Effect: No cylinder lubrication oil on the affected cylinder. Slowdown request is ordered from ECS.
Sugg. Action: Check that the individual shutoff valves is not closed. Check the cylinderlubrication oil tank level.
0312B Cylinder Lubrication->Cylinder Lube Flow Sensor fault

Description: Flow sensor has illegal value when engine is stopped.
Cause: Flow sensor is not adjusted correct, or sensor is bad.
Effect: Supervision of cylinder lubrication oil supply is no longer provided.
Sugg. Action: Try to adjust sensor or change sensor.
0312C Cylinder Lubrication->No Cyl. lubrication (Tacho fault)

Description: Failure on Tacho A and Tacho B. It is no longer possible for the CCU to perform cylinder lubrication.
Cause: Failure on both Tacho sets.
Effect: Cylinder lubrication is no longer possible.
Sugg. Action: Check tachosignal cabling to the affected CCU.
1002 Burst IO Handler->Too Late PSP Setup

Description: Internal ECS fault situation. An internal calculation was completed too late.
Cause: Very uncertain. A partly failing network can cause significantly increased cpu load on the MPCs leading
to unacceptable delays on some calculations.
Effect: Difficult to predict. Often no effect, in other situations unstable operation of fuel injection and exhaust
valve on that cylinder.
Sugg. Action: Contact MAN B&W. Monitor exhaust gas temperature. If temperature is OK continues running is OK. If
not shut off that cylinder and continue with reduced load.

0100601 IO->Ch26,1006, Deviation Supervision (
Description: This value deviates more than allowed from its corresponding value on the redundant MPC. This is the
A/B units.
Cause: Due to too large difference between 2 redundant sensors.
Effect: One of 2 redundant MPCs are getting incorrect sensor readings. Unfortunately it is not 'invalid enough'
for actual sensor alarm and therefore the MPCs will typically have difficulties selecting the most correct
sensor value to use.
Sugg. Action: Verify sensor value from each of the 2 redundant sensors. Compare with a third measurement in order
to determine which of the 2 sensors that is failing. Cut out the failing sensor in order to assist the ECS
with selection of the best value. Cut out sensor via MOP or by actually unplugging the faulty sensor on
the specific MPC.

02010211 Start/Stop Logic->Running Failed
Description: The engine rpm dropped below acceptable limit for fuel injections. Injections are therefore omitted and
the engine stops.
Cause: During low speed running a sudden torque increase can cause the speed to drop below acceptable
limit.
Effect: Injections are omitted and the engine stops.
Sugg. Action: Start the engine again from the active control station. Typically that reuqire to first order stop and then
a new start. If the engine repeatedly stop with this alarm avoid ordering quite so low engine speed
while strong load torque variation can occur.
02010212 Start/Stop Logic->Starting Failed

Description: 3 start attempts were executed but none led to acceptable engine speed.
Cause: Heavy running or failing start air system.
Effect: A new engine stop command and then start are required for retrying engine start.
Sugg. Action: Perform an air run while comfirming that the engine runs steady on air achiving at least 20rpm. If so,
verify the manually operated valves positions on each HCU. Finally attempt a new start.
02010213 Start/Stop Logic->Turning Failed

Description: Slow turning of the engine was not succesfull. A complete revolution was not completed in due time.
Cause: Heavy running or failing start air system.
Effect: A manual slow turn should be carried out (or retried) before new engine start.
Sugg. Action: Perform manual slow turn while verifying that the engine runs steady on air (by listening) while
obtaining at least 10rpm. If that is not the case verify start air pressure and start air valves including
solonoides.
02010214 Start/Stop Logic->Shut Down

Description: A shut down has been ordered.
Cause: A shut down order was generated either by safety system or be ECS itself.
Effect: Fuel injections are immediately stopped. Exhaust valve operation is maintained as long as possible.
Sugg. Action: The shut down must be reset in safety system. Then a stop command must be issued from active
control station before a new start is allowed by ECS.
02012233 Engine Running Modes->Engine Running Mode Calculation

Description: An internal calculation has resulted in an invalid result.
Cause: Unknown
Effect: Engine control is automatically changed over to the redundant ECU. Therefore redundancy no longer
exists for the ECUs.
Sugg. Action: Reset the ECU that reported the alarm.
02012240 Engine Running Modes->No Valid Pscav Sensor Available

Description: The scavenge air pressure is vital for calculating the desired cycle process values like maximum
cylinder pressure etc. If no sensor is valid a model curve is used.
Cause: Both redundant scavenge air pressure sensors have failed.
Effect: A model curve is used for controlling the engine cycle process.
Sugg. Action: Check sensor and cabling. Untill failure has been located and repaired extra attention must be paid to
verifying engine cycle process. For instance by using a PMI tool for verifying obtained cylinder
pressures.
0201224421 Gas Bypass->Too High Pscav

Description: Scavenge air pressure exceeds maximum allowed level.
Cause: Malfunctioning bypass valve, extreme ambient conditions or very fast engine load changes.

020125J Cylinder Lubrication->Nominel Parameterset not Valid
Description: The ordered Cylinder Lubrication oil amount at MCR can not be supplied. The current parameter set
will cause ECS to demand activation more than one time per revolution, which is not possible.
Cause: The combination of S%, FeedRateFactor and Adjust factor is too high, or the lubricator(s) are too small

Effect: The cylinder lubricator will be activated with the highest frequency possible, which is one time per
revolution.
Sugg. Action: Check if the parameter set (S%, FeedRateFactor and Adjustfactor) are according to MBD specification.
Check that lubricator size is according to specification and that the parameter "Mass/Injection per

Description: An internal calculation has resulted in an invalid result.
Cause: Unknown
Effect: Engine control is automatically changed over to the redundant ECU. Therefore redundancy no longer
exists for the ECUs.
0202020709 Hydraulic Supply Pressure Limiter->Low Hydraulic Pressure

Description: The hydraulic supply pressure has dropped to a level where it was necessary to reduce maximum
allowed fuel index to less than 100%. The eventual load reduction that leads to serves the purpose of
reducing the required flow and therefore might recover from the pressure drop.
Cause: Pump failure, hydraulic leakage or failing bypass valves in the hydraulic supply system.
Effect: Engine load might be reduced and engine might run with unstable speed and fuel index. If the pressure
at some point drops too far a shut down is carried out.
Sugg. Action: While locating the failure that causes the pressure drop reduce engine load in order to avoid unstable
running. Check for hydraulic pump related alarms. Check for hydraulic leakages and failing bypass
valves. Typically a failing bypass valve increases significantly in temperature.

02020308 Governor Mode Selector->ECS Speed Mode Command

Description: It became necessary for the ECS to overrule the active governor mode selected on MOP.
Cause: Typically due to speed variations larger that acceptable by shaft generator.
Effect: A stronger engine speed control has been applied leading to smaller deviations between speed
setpoint and actual speed. Another result is larger fuel index variations leading to less economical fuel
consumption during some running conditions.
Sugg. Action: Verify that speed variations do not indicate unstable engine running due to other things than external
load variations. Change back to desired governor mode when more stable engine speed has been
obtained again.

51010113 Pump Model Curve->Large dev. from model curve
Description: Large swashplate setpoint deviation from follow-mode pump model curve.
Cause: Can be caused by a hydraulic leak, or mechanical pump fault such as a broken pump shaft.
Effect: In case of a hydraulic leak, all pumps will deliver as much as needed to keep up the pressure. Hence, if
the pumps cannot compensate for the leak, all pumps will swivel their swashplates towards full flow
running AH or AS. In case of a mechanical fault, the non-faulty pumps will try to keep up the pressure
by swivelling their swashplates to values higher than normally needed. If the faulty pump is the
pressure controlling, an automatic change of pressure pump will occur.
Sugg. Action: Inspect the engine driven pumps for mechanical faults, and check for hydraulic leaks and
malfunctioning valves. If this has been investigated without finding any faults, use other alarms to help
analysing the situation for solving the real problem.

Effect: The HPS will "bumpless" change to Manual operation. Hence operating startup pumps will continue to
operate in Manual mode. The automatic pressure control is still active in Manual mode and is using the
pressure setpoint computed by the ECS. This pressure setpoint can be overruled by the operator by
manually altering the pressure setpoint. When doing so, the new pressure setpoint will be used until the
operator either chooses a new setpoint, or returns to Automatic mode.

51013101 TorqueRestriction->Torque limiter cancelled

Description: Swashplate pump torque limiter cancelled.
Cause: HMI button for release (Chief-level access) of torque restriction has been activated.
Effect: Cancelling the Torque Limiter function is intended to be done only if one or more swashplate pumps
are malfunctioning and does not deliver flow (e.g. broken pump shaft), since the cancelling the function
causes any electric max. swivel restrictions to the pumps to be overridden. If, on the other hand, all
pumps are delivering their normal amount of flow, then the Torque Limiter should not be cancelled.
Sugg. Action: Find the cause for why the pump(s) are not delivering and repair/replace. The cause could be broken
pump shaft.

Effect: The Master startup pump may be defect. There might be a defect valve so that the startup pumps
cannot build up hydraulic pressure for engine start.

Description: Hydraulic oil pressure sensor (1201-x) on this ACU deviates from the hydraulic oil pressure sensors on

Cause: The sensor is either dead or drifting.
Effect: The ECS will use the two other sensors for hydraulic pressure evaluation. If the sensor is dead and this
ACU controls the pressure controlling pump, the ECS will automatically change pressure controlling
pump. If the sensor is drifting and this ACU is pressure controlling, the ECS will encounter pressure
changes according to the sensor.

pressure system.
5131 HPS Command->Hyd. press. deviates from setpoint

Description: The hydraulic pressure deviates too much from the hydraulic pressure setpoint computed by the ECS.
Cause: If the hydraulic pressure is above the pressure setpoint it could be caused by too low hydraulic oil
consumption. If it is lower than expected, it could be a hydraulic leakage. Another possibility is that it
could be caused by either one or more malfunctioning engine driven pumps or incorrect calibration of
these during connection test.
Effect: If the hydraulic pressure is lower than the ECS computed setpoint and it continues to decrease, the
hydraulic pumps cannot deliver enough oil to maintain the pressure. If the pressure drops below 145 -
150 bar, the ECS is likely to carry out a shutdown. If the pressure is too high, it could lead to increased
injection pressure.
Sugg. Action: Check the hydraulic pressure and the pressure setpoint at the HPS page on the MOP. Check the
swashplate positions on the engine driven pumps. If all swashplates are closed to +100% running AH
(or -100% running AS) on the MOP, then lower the engine load to avoid a shutdown. If there is a large
hydraulic leakage it may not be possible to avoid. If the pressure is too high, inspect the oil supply line
to the exhaust valves and the fuel injection for malfunctioning valves.

0660 Ctrl Station Selection->No Ctrl Station Selected
Description: None of the manoeuvre places: Bridge, ECR or LOP can be chosen by the RCS.
Cause: Lose of communication between RCS and ECS prevent change of manoeuvre place.
Effect: The ECS retain its manoeuvre place.
Sugg. Action: Change of manouvre place can in this case only be done by a forced take request.
Check the connections between the RCS and the ECS. An often seen follow alarm is "Modbus timeout"
which occure in case of temporar lose of the RCS and ECR communication.
0661 Ctrl Station Selection->ECR-Combinator Ctrl. Station Forced

Description: Engine control has been taken for ECR-Combinator control station.
Cause: Forced take has been taken for ECR-Combinator. Only ECR and LOP forced take can override this
command.
Effect: The manouvre place is forced to ECR-Combinator and if the engine is running the speed will smoothly
transit to the ECR-Combinator Handle speed setpoint.
Sugg. Action: No Action
0662 Ctrl Station Selection->ECR Control Station Forced

Description: Engine control has been taken in the ECR.
Cause: Manual take in the ECR.
Effect: The manouvre place is forced to ECR and if the engine is running the speed will smoothly transit to the
ECR Handle speed setpoint.
0663 Ctrl Station Selection->Bridge Control Station Forced

Description: Back up control from bridge forces control to the bridge.
Cause: Manual back up control from bridge.
Effect: Speed set from bridge is fixed and independent of handle position on the bridge.
0669 Ctrl Station Selection->Start Order Timer Out

Description: The ECS (Engine Control System) has detected that the latest start attempt from the active control
station has timed out.
Cause: In case the Auxiliary Blowers was not running before the start attempt an automatic start of the
blowers were performed. If the Blowers did not communicate back to the EICU’s that they did start or
never started before a predefined start interval this alarm will be given.
Effect: The engine will not start and handle has to be put in stop position before a new start attempt.
Sugg. Action: Check if other alarms related to the Auxiliary Blowers are currently active in the alarm list. If so rectify
the problems related to the alarms.
Check that the Blowers are not in Manual mode or Local Mode. If the Blowers are in manual mode
change it back to Automatic mode. If the blowers are in Local mode change it back to remote.
Reattempt a start to see if the problem has disappeared.
If the problem is still present press Prepare start on the MOP to see if the blowers can be started.
If blowers will not start the engine can be started from LOP without blowers running.

0670 Ctrl Station Selection->Handle Stop & Stop Switch Deviation
Description: The ECS (Engine Control System) has detected that the Handle Stop position and Stop Switch
Position does not match the expected at the current selected control station.
Cause: The following list exemplifies possible causes of the alarm:
1. Signal error on either Handle or stop switch regardless of Handle Stop and Stop Switch signal.
2. Handle Stop signal is on but Stop Switch signal is off.
3. Handle Stop signal is off but Stop Switch signal is on.
Note: Handle Stop on is when Handle Speed Set is zero RPM!

Effect: If the engine is stopped a start from the current control position will not be possible.
If the engine is running and then stopped the engine can not be started again.
Sugg. Action: Check that no supervision alarms are present for either Handle stop or stop switch from the selected
control station (If Bridge check J26 and J30 or if ECR check J27 and J32).
If there is a supervision error rectify the problem and check that the alarm disappears.
If the alarm is still present check that when the handle is in stop position that the stop switch is On
(Main Operating Panel (MOP-A) or Back Up Operating Panel (MOP-B) (see MOP-A/MOP-B ->
Maintenance…-> System View I/O - EICUA and EICUB) J30 or J32 depending on control position). If
both EICU’s stop switches are on check that the Handle Position on the MOP picture “Engine-
>Operation” show 0 RPM. If this is not the case then the handle needs to be rescaled or the Stop
Switch has slipped.
If the problem can not be solved and the engine needs to be started change control station and start
the engine.

0750 Power Management System->Wait for Generator Conditions

Description: A timer has timed out while waiting for conditions for connecting the shaft generator.
Cause: The engine speed has been outside the acceptable range for connecting the shaft generator (SG) for
too long after a SG connect request.
Effect: No effect.
Sugg. Action: Adjust speed set to be in the shaft generator (SG) speed range to make the PTO connect the SG or
choose not to connect the SG
0751 Power Management System->Generator Disconnection Fail

Description: A timer has timed out while waiting for a shaft generator disconnection request
Cause: The conditions for running with shaft generator (SG) is not present i.e. either
the actual speed is outside the acceptable SG speed range
or the speed set point has been outside the acceptable SG speed range for too long
or due to a Slow Down Prewarning
Effect: If no action is taken the ECS will carry out a cancellable shut down request in a while.
Sugg. Action: Request a disconnection of the shaft generator.
0752 Power Management System->Speed Outside PMS Range

Description: Actual speed exceeds the acceptable shaft generator speed range.
Cause: the speed handle is set outside the range of the shaft generator (SG) range
Effect: If the speed set remains outside the shaft generator speed range it will in a certain time results in a
cancellable shut down.
Sugg. Action: Adjust the handle so that the speed set point comes back into the shaft generator speed range.

Effect: No effect.
Sugg. Action: Move speed handle so that actual engine speed leaves the barred speed range.
0931 FWE - Ready->FWE-STANDBY-AT_SEA Inconsistency

Description: The signals FWE, Standby or At Sea received from the Remote Control System are inconsistent. Either
none or more than one of the above signals are active at the same time.
Cause: The RCS using a Serial Communication line to the EICU’s (J68) is not working properly or the
hardwired inputs Ch41, Ch42 or Ch46 on EICU are faulty.
Effect: The ECS keeps the last valid FWE, Standby or At Sea request as displayed on the MOP.
Sugg. Action: 1) First try change between FWE, Standby, At Sea
2) If FWE, Standby, At Sea is hardwired to both EICU’s check on MOP that one and only one of the
EICU inputs Ch41, Ch42 and Ch46 are high. If not check cabling.
3) If FWE, Standby, At Sea is send by serial connection from RCS to ECS check for serical
commonication alarms.
NOTE: If a standby request is needed for the ECS then press any forced take commands (pitch back
up mode on Bridge for CPP plants). On the Main Operating Panel (MOP) this results in a Forced
Standby indication.
To generate a FWE request the signals FWE, Standby, At Sea has to work according to specification
(only one signal high at a time).

Description: Start blocking due to non-zero pitch position of propeller has been cancelled.
Cause: Operator has requested cancel of non-zero pitch start blocking on MOP screen Status.
Effect: Disables the non zero pitch start blocking and consequently the engine start attempt is accepted at any
propeller pitch.
Sugg. Action: If the pitch control system is working properly move the pitch to zero position by putting active handle in
neutral position, deactivate the zero pitch start blocking from the HMI and then check on MOP Status
screen that there is no non-zero pitch start blocking.
If start blocking is still active check the input channels regarding actual pitch to the ECS. The inputs is
located on the two ECU’s. If possible check pitch set point on the RCS.
130140 Slow Down Supervision->Cyl 1. No Cylinder lubrication

Description: No cylinder lubrication for the affected cylinder.
Cause: 1) The lubricator or lubrication oil supply system is not working properly.
2) The Cylinder Control Unit is not in normal running mode.
3) The ECS control networks are not connected properly or not working.
Effect: 1) No cylinder lubrication oil is injected to the cylinder
2) Or lubricator sensor feedback signal is failing but lubrication oil is still injected in the cylinder.
3) Slow Down request is send from ECS to Safety System
Sugg. Action: Check Alarmlist for: Failing Lubricator FeedBack, No Cylinder Lube Oil or Cylinder Lube Flow Sensor
fault alarms from the Cylinder Control Unit.
Check on the MOP screen Maintenance: System view I/O Test that the Cylinder Control Unit is up
running. If not, check on the MOP Network Status screen the control network to the Cylinder Control
Unit. The control networks are connected to J65 and J66 on the MPC.
If the alarm is still present try to replace the Cylinder Control Unit MPC.

Description: Misfire on one or more cylinders due to absence of fuel injection.
Cause: One or more CCU's are missing on the network or not in normal running mode.
Effect: ME-ECS send a slow down request to the safety system. A Slow Down will subsequently be performed.
Sugg. Action: 1) Check on MOP screen: Maintenance -> System View which CCU's are missing or not operating in
normal mode.
2) Check for problems with the network on MOP: Maintenance -> Network Status
3) It can also be seen from the alarm list which CCU's cause the alarm.

Description: The ECS (Engine Control System) has detected that the HP pump is not working properly.
1. The HP pump is failing.
2. The MPC controlling the HP pump might not be in normal mode.
3. The network cables to the MPC is damaged or not connected.
Effect: The swash plate is directed to its fail safe position which is full delivery in Ahead direction. For
manoeuvring in Ahead direction no loss of control will be experienced though higher hydraulic pressure
might be experienced.
Sugg. Action: 1. Look for alarms related to the failing HP pump
2. On MOP screen: Maintenance check that the ACU is operating in normal running mode or check it
by taking a look at LED (Light Emitting Diode) at the top left corner of the MPC. It has to be green.

130219 Pump Control Supervision->Too many HP Pump Failures

Description: The ECS (Engine Control System) has detected that two or more HP pumps are not working properly.
See alarm list for information about which pumps.
Cause: Two or more pumps are not working properly due to failing HP pumps (See Alarm Descriptions for
failing pumps) or failing MPC’s controlling the HP pumps i.e. not operating in normal running mode or
disconnected both networks.
Note: for installations with more than three HP pumps, pump four and five are controlled by the ECU’s.
Effect: Because more than one HP pump is not working properly, reversing the engine might not be possible
due to the fail safe position of the HP pumps. Ship manoeuvres in Astern direction can make the ship
loose engine power resulting in loss of engine control.
Sugg. Action: See Alarm Descriptions for failing pumps.
Check on MOP screen Maintenance that the MPC’s controlling the HP pumps are operating in normal
mode and connected the control network.

SAR-ACU1 System Status->App. not running on ACU1

Description: The specified MPC is not properly executing its application program. The EICU's monitor execution of
the application programs on all MPCs . The EICU raises this alarm when it detects that the specified
MPC is not executing the application program correctly. Since there are two EICU's in the system,
these alarms will normally occur two by two.
Cause: The alarm comes shortly after power up of an MPC, which is normal. The alarm occurs just after
replacement of an MPC unit. The alarm should return to normal after the automatic preparation of a
replacement MPC has completed. The alarm is present while the MPC is in any test mode.
Effect: The MPC does not control the tasks that it is meant to.
Example: "App. not running on CCU1" means that cylinder 1 can not operate.
Sugg. Action: If the observed MPC has just been replaced, wait for the automatic preparation to complete. If this
takes more than ten minutes, look at the LED lamp of the MPC to see if it shows a failure code. . If this
proves unhelpful, reset the MPC unit.

SMBsTOAl RCS Interface->RCS serial communication fail
Description: The EICU is not receiving data from the remote control system (RCS).
Cause: This alarm is probably caused by a fault in the serial modbus cable connection between the RCS and
the EICU.
During commissioning a EICU parameter misconfiguration in the EICU may also cause this problem.
Other causes may be a malfunction in the RCS or EICU.
Sugg. Action: If both EICU's has this alarm first check the RCS for power loss or other malfunction. Otherwise follow
check list below.
Check list:
1) Check Serial Cabel and connector J68 on EICU
2) Check connection on RCS side
3) If possible switch connector J68 on EICUA and EICUB to see if it follows the connector or stays at
the same EICU
4) If communication failure alarm is still active from the same EICU when performing test 3), try replace
the failing EICU with spare MPC.

Effect: When only an alarm related to one network segment is raised, there is no change in engine behaviour.
But if both network segment 0 and 1 is affected, the controlling unit is not operating correctly or not
operating at all.
Sugg. Action: If alarm(s) indicates missing connection to one network segment on one MPC:
1) Check if the network connector is mounted on the unit.
2) Replace the network connector.
3) If no problems can be found in the network connection, replace the unit.
If alarms indicates missing connection on both network segments on the same MPC:
1) Check if the unit is turned on:
1.A) MPC: Indicator LED lamp is illuminated.
1.B) MOP: Graphic application pictures on the screen.
If the unit is turned off, it must be checked for power failure. Otherwise:
MPC-1) If the indicator LED lamp of the MPC is green, check the network connections and connectors
of the unit for cabling failures.
MPC-2) Restart the controller, e.g. by turn off – turn on of the power.
MPC-3) If the controller does not start up, indicated by the LED changing from red to yellow and to
green, and the network alarms does not disappear, replace the MPC.
MOP-1) If the display of the MOP is active with normal application pictures, though with missing
process values: Check the network connections and connectors of the unit for cabling failures.
MOP-2) Restart the MOP, e.g. by turn off – turn on of the power. If the MOP does not start up ending
up with application pictures, and the network alarm does not disappear, it must be repaired.
If alarms indicates that several units are not connected on one network segment, inspect the cabling
and all connectors of the specified network segment.The fault is likely related to:
1) A loose wire in a connector
2) A short circuit between the 2 wires, or between a wire and the cable screen.
3) A loose network termination resistor. In each end of the network line a resistor shall be mounted in
the network connector. One of them may be loose or missing.
4) Short circuit between a network wire and ship ground - any metal parts.
5) A damaged network cable.

SNA-ACU1 System Status->MPC ACU1 unavailable

Description: The affected unit can not be seen on either of the networks (segment A and B) by the EICU’s. Special
case: One of the EICU’s are disconnected both control network results in alarms form this EICU that all
other MPC’s are unavailable.
1. The MPC is not in a normal running mode.
2. There is no power to the unit.
3. The network cables are disconnected from the unit (MPC’s connector J65 and J66 )
4. The network cables to the unit are damaged.
Effect: If one or two MOP’s are missing on the network it will not affect the running of the engine.
For redundant units i.e. EICU’s and ECU’s:
The redundant unit takes over and engine operation is not affected.
If a CCU is disconnected the network:
Fuel injection is stopped immediately and exhaust valve operation will stop after few seconds. If the
CCU is powered down or not in normal running mode fuel injection and exhaust valve operation stops
immediately.
If network is disconnected to an ACU:
The engine driven pump will go to 100% delivery and startup pump and blower controlled by the unit
remain unchanged i.e. either stopped or running.
If an ACU is powered down or not in normal running mode the engine driven pump will go to 100%
delivery and startup pump and blower will stop.
Sugg. Action: If the alarm is either about MOP-A or MOP-B make sure that the unit is turned on and that the control
network is properly connected.
If the alarm is due to a missing MPC on the network:

1. Check that the unit is in normal running mode (LED indication on MPC is green). If the unit is in test
mode then restart the unit in normal mode.
2. Make sure that the control network is properly connected and not damaged
3. Replace the MPC with spare.
