Position Monitoring System (PMS)

Our Position Monitoring System (PMS) is used to display the position of the marine loading arm within its defined operating envelope. The display uses a standard industry PC and is a live feed of the actual position of the marine loading arm.

The PMS is a stand alone unit and works in the following way:

• A pendulum potentiometer located on the inboard arm measures the angle of the inboard arm with respect to vertical.
• A pendulum potentiometer located on the outboard arm measures the angle of the outboard arm with respect to vertical.
• A direct coupled potentiometer located at the base riser swivel joint measures the slewing angle.
• Information from the potentiometers is relayed through a PC hooked to the local control panel.

Features include:

• Remote maintenance
• Display redirection via TCP/IP or modem
