SmartShip PowerBus

Hoppe Marine GmbH
System Architecture
Dual redundant serial ring bus
Automatic data-rerouting for continuous operability even after bus or Local Processing Unit (LPU) failure
Short circuits also in the PowerBus can be countered while maintaining the operability of the remaining components
Four versatile inputs, configurable as standard 4-20mA or digital inputs to connect any kind of analog or digital input source
Safety concept
Two identical cabinets (master &slave), including all associated input and output modules, operate in parallel and with the same software
A communication between the cabinets monitors all activities of the two cabinets/PLCs
In case of failure of the master cabinet/PLC, the slave cabinet takes over control via Ring Bus
Triple input for the power supply (MSB,ESB and UPS)
