Magnavox MX 111 Shipboard Communi- cation Terminal Operator Interface Unit. automatic transmissions are made without interrupting the normal communications of the Magna- vox MX 111 MARISAT shipboard communications terminal.

Changing weather conditions at sea can be monitored by a shore station without involving ship- board personnel. Cargo condi- tions, engine performance, and fuel consumption, as well as ship's speed, heading, and position can be obtained at will from a shore- side office.

Data acquired by two independ- ent sensors can be transmitted to different telex numbers from sep- arate schedules. The system can be operated in three modes: schedules (automatic transmis- sion), polling/rescheduling, and conventional.

MAIN processor —»,v

The main processing unit for Marcon's

Micro-Mate II.

Marcon's Series 6000 Perform- ance Monitor System (PMS) pro- vides an integrated system to monitor, track, record, log, and display parameters of shipboard machinery. It can be described as a linked series of microproc- essors with input and output hardware controlled by highly flexible software programs. A typical system could include sen- sor transducers, switches, and rpm inputs feeding data to near- by Data Remotes. The Data Re- mote processes information and transmits it to the main proces- sor.

Processed data is displayed in page format on CRT displays, printed out, recorded on digital tape cassettes and is available for transmission via telemetry to shore or centralized stations. Op- erators can select and edit the page displays through the oper- ator keyboard.

The Series 6000 PMS is said to have a number of features that set it apart from other types of monitoring systems, and repre- sents a quantum advance in state of the art monitoring. It provides remote inspection of equipment and monitoring of operating pa- rameters. Sensors installed in key locations within the machinery and spaces track performance and alert the operator to malfunction- ing equipment. An alarm sequence warns the operator of machinery hazards and guides him through acknowledgement of alarm con- ditions.

Marcon recently introduced a new low-cost series called the

Micro-Mate. These systems will provide automatic monitoring dis- plays and logging for up to 136 points at a cost competitive with conventional alarm panels but with added features such as re- duced wiring and installation cost, data logging either by printer or magnetic tape, connection to mi- crowave of satellite communica- tion link, and second display key- board.
