Supervisory Control System Instruction Manual

Abstract

The Supervisory Control System (SCS) installed aboard the ex-USS Shadwell is a functional example of a damage control (DC) focused distributed control system, SCS. as used in this report, is defined as a system automated to some extent, which monitors and controls multiple ship systems and enables a human supervisor to interact with the ship systems through a human-centered interface and to manage human actions so that the responses of the systems and the actions of the personnel complement one another. The SCS provides the operator with reliable situation awareness regarding the operability of the ship's damage control functions. The SCS assimilates raw data into information and presents the information visually to the operator. The SCS automatically handles complicated decisions, such as fluid system rupture detection and isolation, fire boundary locations, and resource management. The SCS also handles simple tasks, such as managing the water mist suppression system to minimize water usage while maximizing effectiveness.
