It can be used as a stand-alone Alarm Monitoring and Control System or the Mega-Guard can be extended with power management, cargo control, propulsion control, integrated navigation and dynamic positioning functions. The Mega-Guard Alarm Monitoring and Control System is the most reliable and field proven system on the market because of the following facts: Operator Workstations built-up with Marine Personal Computers under Windows 7 embedded operating system and redundant Ethernet link.  Solid state disk is applied instead of hard disk. Main and back-up Workstation to further ensure safety and reliability. Distributed Processing Units built-up with Control Processors equipped with I/O Modules and redundant Ethernet link. Each I/O Module has its own isolated sensor supply and earth fault detector. Extension Alarm System is built-up with EAS Operator Panels equipped with a graphic LCD display and 12 illuminated pushbuttons with redundant Ethernet link.3 Features Whole system inter-connected by redundant Ethernet link. Cabling with star or ring topology or a combination of star and ring topology. Whole system operating directly on 19~32VDC power supply and all components have low power consumption. Uninterruptable Power Supply providing fail safe 24VDC output. Programming in accordance with international PLC programming standard IEC61131-3 (ST). Type approved by all major classification societies. An Operator Workstation consists of a TFT Colour Graphic Screen, Operator Keyboard with Trackball, Marine Personal Computer and optional Printer. The Operator Workstation provides a reliable and user-friendly operator interface to ensure safe operation. The Operator Workstations are connected to each other via the redundant Ethernet link based upon UTP cabling. Two Operator Workstations, called the main server and the back-up server, are communicating via the redundant Ethernet link with the Control Processor with I/O Modules (Distributed Processing Units) and to the Extension Alarm System. This ensures a full redundant lay-out. Client Operator Workstations communicate with either the main server or back-up server Operator Workstation via the redundant Ethernet link. The on duty selection and engineer calling functions are fully redundant as upon failure of an Operator Workstation, the extension alarm system functions are automatically transferred to a back-up Operator Workstation. Various language options are available including Chinese, Japanese and others.
