Il progetto richiedeva la fornitura, montaggio e posa in opera di simulatori per la realizzazione di un laboratorio denominato “Operare in sala macchine” per l’Istituto Globale Carloforte Sezione Istituto Tecnico Nautico “C. Colombo” Intervento rientrante nel Piano Sulcis finanziato a valere sul Fondo di Sviluppo e Coesione 2007/2013.

Wärtsilä Simulation and training solutions

A differenza della soluzione concorrente che prevedeva delle postazioni di lavoro “stand-alone” non controllabili dall’istruttore e senza possibilità di lavorare in rete, scambiare dati, operare su uno stesso esercizio impostato dall’insegnante, la soluzione Wartsila-Transas permette ad ogni postazione studente di utilizzare tutti i modelli forniti;
ognuno di questi modelli propone la propria console di comando simulata a video: la fornitura verrà integrata con N. 1 periferica hardware Mini-console USB provvista di telegrafo sdoppiabile realistico utilizzabile con i modelli che prevedono il telegrafo di macchine (per esempio AZIPOD Diesel-Electric Cruise Ship Model non ha un modello di propulsore controllato da telegrafo).
Anche questo rappresenta un plus-valore in quanto la soluzione concorrente proponeva 1 sola console utilizzabile con 1 solo modello; la console da noi fornita invece potrà essere, se necessario, acquistata nel tempo ad integrazione di tutte le postazioni studente.

Trainees class-room

Questa sala viene utilizzata per ricevere fino a 8 tirocinanti in “configurazione tirocinante AVANZATA”, per lezioni, lezioni frontali e de-briefing e attrezzata con il MAIN Instructor. 

La soluzione tecnica proposta, basata su tecnologia Wartsila-Transas, prevede N. 9 modelli nave, ossia:

• Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) Model ANZAC Frigate Model
• AZIPOD Diesel-Electric Cruise Ship Model
• MAN B&W 6S50MC-C Diesel Engine-Product Tanker Ship Model
• MAN 8L32/40 Twin Medium Speed Engine + CPP Ro- Pax Ferry Ship Model
• MAN B&W 6S60MC-C Diesel Engine-Tanker LCC Ship Model
• Patrol Vessel PV3000 – 4 x MTU 20V 1163 TB93 and 2 x PTI Propulsion Electric Motor Ship Model
• Steam Turbine (Kawasaki UA-400) LNG Carrier Ship Model
• DFDE Diesel-Electric (MAN L51/60DF) LNG Carrier Ship Model.
  

  Simulator Components

  The Simulator is PC-based system with the following main components:

  • Personal computers (standard hardware) with MS Windows 7 OS and network components (standard software).
  • Simulator software
  • Simulator dedicated control panels – Dedicated Hardware (DHW) when available, Virtual Dedicated hardware (VDHW) and combination of DHW and VDHW

  The Simulator software:

  • Simulator Platform
  • Ship model software

  Each Ship Model software consists of the following parts:

  • Mathematical Model – mandatory part
  • Trainee Console – mandatory part
  • 3-D Visualization scenes – optional part

PC-based networked station: 2 monitors; 1 PC

• Instructor basic software TR-S-TS-SW01 includes:
• Instructor module;
• Slave console;
• E-Tutor mathematical model.
• 3D Visualization player TR-S-TS-SW03 (option);
• E-Tutor Electronic Registy module
  TR-S-TS-SW05
  (option, if E-Tutor functionality is required);
• E-Tutor Performance Monitor module
  TR-S-TS-SW06
  (option, if E-Tutor functionality is required);

E-Tutor Scenario Editor module TR-S-TS-SW07 (option, if E-Tutor functionality is required).

ERS 5000 TechSim Network

PC-based simulator class

• Designed for Individual, Group and Team training
• Set of networked personal computers
• Instructor on-line control and monitoring of class – pls. see the separate Manual and Specification for simulator platform
• Single-PC Trainee Workstation or Multi-PC Trainee Workstation
• Up to 50 interactive Trainee Workstations

and up to 3 Instructors per one simulator class

Modules description

Instructor software

Instructor software permits running 3 operation modes simultaneously and independently:

• Exercise Editor and Briefing mode
• On-line class control mode
• Debriefing mode

Trainee software

Trainee software consists of:

• mathematical model of simulated ship machinery and systems. Mathematical model has no user interface itself (i.e. it is invisible, as “black box”)
• Trainee software Console as user graphical interface between ship mathematical model and Trainee.

Trainee software console can be made in the form of several types of screens:

• Control panels (different types) with ship-like gauges, indicators and controls. For example:
• Screens of computer-based control and monitoring system or power management system. For example:
• System diagrams – schematic diagrams of systems for support of local manual control from machinery spaces (ship compartments). For example:

The “Zoom” function is available for these types of diagrams.

• 3-D Visualization scenes – visualization of ER compartments with different machinery and equipment.
• System description

To allow ITN CARLOFORTE to be compliant with all the possible training scenarios, we propose a system, PC version network comprising:

Hardware components

• 1x Computer for MAIN Instructor (Full Mission), dual screens 24”
• 8x ERS trainee advanced for classroom, each with 3D visual of Engine Room

Software components

• 9x ship engine models, to let ITN CARLOFORTE able to reproduce all types of most common marine engine currently available onboard merchant unit world-wide
• 3D visualization for ECR FMB, CLASSROOM and ER LOP
• e-tutor evaluation module (Electronic Registry, Performance Monitor, Scenario Editor), for both FMB and CLASSROOM
• Audio logger and Video logger, to record and keep track of run exercises (only for FMB).
