Kongsberg Distributed Processing System (dPSC)
Marine Distributed Processing Controllers, Remote I/O Modules, CPU Modules, Analog Modules, Digital Modules, Communication Modules and Power Supply Modules.
Integrated Automation System (IAS), Engine Control, Machinery Monitoring, Alarm Monitoring, Power Management, Cargo Automation, Ballast Control, Auxiliary Machinery Control and Vessel-wide Distributed Processing.
Modern ships rely on thousands of digital and analog signals every second. Every pressure transmitter, temperature sensor, tank level sensor, valve feedback signal, pump starter, alarm contact, engine safety input, and monitoring device must communicate reliably with the Integrated Automation System (IAS).
The Kongsberg dPSC Distributed Processing System was developed to perform exactly this task. Instead of placing every signal in one central cabinet, dPSC distributes intelligent processing units throughout the vessel. Each Remote I/O station processes local signals and communicates with the central automation network through high-speed communication links.
Today, the Kongsberg dPSC platform is installed on:
Because of its modular architecture, the dPSC family has become one of the most recognized marine automation systems in the world.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies a wide range of Kongsberg dPSC modules, including new, used, and professionally reconditioned units with worldwide delivery, repair support, and spare parts sourcing.
The dPSC platform consists of several intelligent module families working together:
Each module performs a dedicated task while maintaining continuous communication with the vessel's Integrated Automation System, providing redundancy, high reliability, and easy maintenance.
The Kongsberg dPSC Distributed Processing System is built around a flexible family of intelligent I/O modules. Each module performs a dedicated function while communicating with the central automation system over a distributed network. This modular design allows engineers to expand, replace, or upgrade individual components without redesigning the complete automation system.
The major dPSC module families include:
| Module | Primary Function |
|---|---|
| RAI-16 / RAI-16XE | Remote Analog Input |
| RAO-8 / RAO-8XE | Remote Analog Output |
| RDI-32 / RDI-32XE / RDI-32AXE | Remote Digital Input |
| RDO-16 | Remote Digital Output |
| dPSC CPU | Distributed Controller |
| Dual CPU | Redundant Controller |
| CAN Communication Module | Network Communication |
| Ethernet Module | High-Speed Data Communication |
| Power Supply Module | System Power Distribution |
| Expansion Module | Additional I/O Capacity |
The RAI-16 family is responsible for receiving analog signals from transmitters and field instruments installed throughout the vessel.
Typical connected equipment includes:
These modules continuously convert analog measurements into digital values for the Kongsberg Integrated Automation System.
The RAO series provides analog control outputs to field equipment.
Typical applications include:
These modules ensure smooth and accurate process control throughout the vessel.
Digital Input modules monitor ON/OFF signals generated by machinery, switches, alarms, and safety devices.
Typical monitored signals include:
The RDO-16 module controls external equipment through digital output channels.
Common outputs include:
Reliable switching performance makes the RDO family one of the most important modules in marine automation systems.
The dPSC CPU is the heart of every Distributed Processing System.
Its primary responsibilities include:
For vessels requiring maximum reliability, Dual CPU redundancy ensures uninterrupted operation even if one processor fails.
Communication is one of the strongest features of the dPSC platform.
Supported communication technologies include:
These interfaces enable seamless integration between engines, generators, power management systems, cargo automation, ballast systems, and navigation equipment.
Reliable power distribution is essential for every marine automation system.
Power modules provide:
The dPSC platform is widely used in:
Common issues experienced onboard include:
No CAN Communication
CPU Fault
Digital Input Failure
Digital Output Failure
Analog Signal Error
Power Module Alarm
Routine inspection and preventive maintenance significantly reduce unexpected failures.
The Kongsberg dPSC platform is compatible with many Kongsberg marine automation systems, including:
When replacing a module:
To maximize module life:
Can a faulty RDO-16 module be repaired?
Yes. Many output module faults can be professionally repaired depending on the extent of damage.
Is the RAI-16 compatible with newer dPSC systems?
Compatibility depends on hardware revision and firmware version.
