In addition, AGI 400 supports simultaneous operation of multiple protocols and can exchange data between different protocols, serving as a protocol gateway. The number of data tags can support large projects, and performance indicators such as trend tables can print 10000 rows. There are 4 event buffers with 10000 entries each.
Typical application scenarios and engineering value
The AGI 400 series has broad application prospects in the fields of shipbuilding and industry. The following are several core scenarios:
1. Ship Energy Monitoring System (SEMS)
By connecting the DEIF generator set controller (AGC series) and the energy meter, the AGI 400 can display real-time data on the ship's power generation, distribution, and consumption, generate energy consumption trend charts, help ship owners optimize their operational strategies, and meet the regulatory requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for ship energy efficiency.
2. Power Management System (PMS) Operating Station
On ships or platforms with multiple generators running in parallel, AGI 400 can serve as the main monitoring interface for PMS, centrally displaying the status of each unit, load distribution, bus tie switch status, and allowing operators to issue commands such as start/stop and circuit breaker closing, achieving "one click" management.
3. Alarm monitoring and fault diagnosis
By utilizing its powerful alarm management and historical recording functions, AGI 400 can replace traditional alarm light columns, providing priority grouped alarm lists, sound and light prompts, confirmation, and traceability functions. By combining trend curves, engineers can quickly locate the root cause of faults (such as abnormal increase in cooling water temperature) and shorten maintenance time.
4. Local mechanical/electrical operation station
For key equipment such as marine side thrusters, servos, and fire pumps, AGI 400 can provide a dedicated graphical operation panel that intuitively displays parameters such as pressure, temperature, and speed, and communicates directly with the controller, eliminating a large number of intermediate relays and indicator lights and simplifying wiring.
Selection guide and installation and maintenance suggestions
1. Selection reference
Choose the appropriate size based on installation space and visible distance:
AGI 407 (7 ″): Used for compact spaces or as an auxiliary operating station, with a resolution of 800 × 480.
AGI 410 (10.1 "): Standard size, resolution 1280 × 800, suitable for most consoles.
AGI 415 (15.6 "): Large screen requirement, resolution 1366 × 768, suitable for displaying complex flowcharts.
AGI 421 (21.5 "): Large screen, full HD 1920 × 1080, suitable for centralized monitoring centers or large bridges.
At the same time, select expansion modules (such as CANopen) according to communication needs, and choose wall mounted boxes (optional accessories) or meter racks based on installation methods.
2. Installation points
Hole size: It is necessary to make the hole according to the precise size in the data manual. The front panel IP66 depends on the sealing between the panel and the hole.
Grounding and power supply: Use the recommended 24V DC power supply and ensure stable power supply and reliable grounding. The power supply limit for USB devices is 500mA, please note that high-power peripherals need to come with their own power supply.
Cable management: All connecting wires are led out from the back, paying attention to the bending radius and routing space to avoid signal interference.
3. Maintenance and Backup
Regular backup project: Export project files regularly through SD card or USB flash drive to prevent accidental loss.
Screen cleaning: Use a soft cloth and neutral cleaner to avoid organic solvents.
Firmware upgrade: Follow the updates released on the DEIF official website to enhance functionality and security.
