5. Creating data from silent sources • Not every thing communicates • Power sources, tank levels etc. • Creating data for measurement and control • V² sensors for voltage and temperature • E² sensors for current, voltage and temperature • SoC, iBC, Ah and boat energy flows • Addressable switches provide power control • Universal language of the Triskel ARGO bus Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk , info@triskelmarine.co.uk

6. The engine language • J1939 CAN bus and the ECU • Valuable source of data • Temperature • Shaft RPM, direction and derived torque • Fuel consumption • Engine mode status • Error conditions Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

7. The engine data • Load efficiency control (RPM and fuel) • Accurate fuel tank level and costs (fuel) • “Regen” control (RPM and torque) • Interpreting status and error codes • C² device translates to the ARGO bus • Autonomously act on critical data • Cooling pumps and engine room fans Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

8. The boat language • Existing equipment and sensors • Mixed language communication • NMEA2000 • NMEA0183 • Seatalk, Mastervolt and PC applications • RS232/422, USB, CAN, current loop, pulses • Translated and placed on the ARGO bus Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

9. The boat data • GPS location, time, CoG, SoG • Navigation details and voyage waypoints • Wind, temperature, rain, humidity, pressure • Sea temperature, current speed, depth • Autopilot control Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

10. Energy management module • Jason the energy management module • Common format data on the ARGO bus • Part of an agnostic modular design ethos • Charging decisions • Enhances efficiency • Automation where possible • Warnings, advice, alarms and safety • Human interface Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

11. Battery charging • Lead instead of Lithium are you mad? • TPPL technology • Bulk charge: Generator, shore supply • The finishing charge issue • Equalisation/conditioning charge • Battery health Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

12. Controlling efficiency • Improving engine efficiency • Low speeds for electric propulsion • Bulk charge loading control • Lower total fuel usage • Predicting events from the data • Intelligent source selection Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

13. Talking to humans • Jason’s window to the world • Boat wide data in a neat interface • Real time data display becomes a tool • Boat power flow • Customise the system with options • Provide advice, warnings and alarms • Control remote switches from anywhere • Web browser based • Use on a tablet, PC, phone any web device Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

14. Watchdog remote monitor • Monitor the boat data remotely • Mobile network or Iridium as telemetry • Very low power to allow 24/7 operation • Uses any web enabled device • Anywhere in the world (or pub) • Secure access • Control remote switches from anywhere • Set limit alarms via email or SMS Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

15. Watchdog for the user • Over winter monitor • Check battery health and boat position • Check weather/sea conditions at the boat • Start up devices remotely (heating) • Friends and family voyage tracker • Burglar alarm • Data can be updated in near real time • Or you can be alerted to a preset event Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

16. Watchdog for business • Chartered fleet monitor • Boat builder customer service • Monitor live boat data remotely • Provides a two way diagnostic tool • Access to historic logged data • Remote fault diagnostics • Fix problems without sending an engineer • Damage tracking using an accelerometer • Be alerted to a problem before the user Triskel Marine Ltd www.triskelmarine.co.uk info@triskelmarine.co.uk

17. Hybrid control systems Thank you for listening and not making fun of my tie Will Godfrey, Triskel Marine Ltd Triskel Marine Ltd, www.triskelmarine.co.uk, info@triskelmarine.co.uk
