Diesel alternators are the main source of electric power on board ships. Automation for starting, stopping and protection of DAs is vital for uninterrupted provision of power for ships. Symtronics specializes in designing and installing application-specific DA controls for various classes of ships. DA monitoring systems include sensors for pressure, temperature, speed, level etc, the electronic logic and sequencing hardware and the local and remote indicating instrumentation. Newer generations of systems are microprocessor-based, using serial bus communication for simplified cabling and increased reliability. Analogue and digital instrumentation options, self-diagnostics and system redundancies are some of the highlights.

An advanced monitoring system for submarine application. The system, based on open architecture VME platform, is a fully computerized system which monitors the operation of four diesel engines and alternators and all auxiliary equipments on the sub. The system monitors these by taking inputs from approximately 300 sensors  and displays readings and functions on  twin LCD monitors. Buil-in redundancy and a unique Ethernet data communication network makes the system very reliable .

Control panels and systems for starting, stopping and monitoring of High Pressure Air compressors, with a variety of sequencing and protection features. Soft-starters and auto change-over between main and standby power supplies are built-in features. Interfaces are provided for Integrated Platform Management systems.

Indication of List and Trim angles of the ship-especially for submarines. Uses chip-based gravity accelerometers and microprocessor controlled system for accurate and reliable indication of ship’s orientation in the  control room. Provides local and remote indicators and dual analogue and digital display of trim and list angles.
