The ship monitoring and control network system design

Abstract

The world trend is that the monitoring, intelligent control and systematic management to the instruments and equipments are integrated both on bridge and in engine room in ship automation. The design scheme of the ship integrated monitoring and operating system based on two layers distributed and redundant computer network was presented in this paper. The distributed schemes are fully applied to both software and hardware. The composition, software distribution and redundant technology in the upper local network were described, some important sample codes was given to prove the design and can be realized. The technologies here can be applied in the other industrial fields.
