LIPSTRONIC 7000 PRODUCT FAMILYWÄRTSILÄ® propulsion control is a single source of propulsion control solutions for all needs.

These are designed to fully support the proven, world-leading propulsion solutions in use today.

and propulsor.

It is a unique combination of knowhow

and experience from a supplier of propulsion

systems, engines and control systems.

With its fully adjustable and easy-to-use

set of parameters, Lipstronic 7000 is a single

solution for all propulsion systems:

Controllable pitch propellers

Waterjets

Steerable thrusters

Transverse thrusters

Engine safety system

Rudder control system

Joystick system.

LIPSTRONIC SERIESThe latest technology enables us to build a

family of different control functions into a

single, intelligent, decentralized and modular

system. The result is – one system for all.

The modules used are all standardized, field-

proven, off-the-shelf components. The software

is made in accordance with European standards

and documentation requirements. Plug-in field-

bus technology minimizes cabling and simplifies

upgrading the system at a later date.

PROPULSION CONTROL

All propulsion solutions need a reliable, easy-

to-use control system for manoeuvring the

vessel. Wärtsilä has years of experience in

electric and electronic control systems that

meet varying customer requirements.

User-focused development ensures that

both navigators and engineers will find the

Wärtsilä propulsion control system easy to use.

The systems are designed in accordance with

IMO regulations and the requirements of all

leading classification societies. Standardization

of components reduces the cost of

engineering, installation and maintenance,

while allowing customization for individual

needs and preferences.

A single supplier of propulsion and

propulsion control systems ensures easy

integration and total service.

PROPULSION SYSTEMSWhichever Wärtsilä power and propulsion

systems you choose, we provide a single

control system.

LIPSTRONIC 7000 CPPLipstronic 7000 CPP controls are designed

to optimize control in any vessel with a

controllable pitch propeller - whatever the

engine power, speed or operating mode.

The system controls the propeller pitch

position and engine speed in combined or split

modes. It includes a propeller and engine load

control system that benefi ts from many years’

research and experience.

The supplied system is customized for

each vessel using the system’s user-friendly

operator panel. The panel also provides

optional information about the propulsion plant.

The system interfaces with any type of

engine and gearbox confi gurations.

Pitch control

Engine RPM control

Dynamic load control

Power take-in (PTI)/power take-off (PTO)

functions

Multiple combinatory modes

Cruise control

Prevention of wind milling

Running up (load) programmes

Suitable for single and twin screw

Electric shaft lever system

User-friendly operator panel

Integrated back-up control

Remote start/stop of engines

Type approved by all major classifi cation

societies

5 control stations available

Interfacing with joystick, dynamic position

(DP), VDR, power management systems

(PMS), alarm system and other ship

automation.

LIPSTRONIC 7000 WATERJETHigh-speed vessels, either mono-hull or

catamaran, can be propulsed by up to four

waterjets. The Lipstronic 7000 system gives

effective, reliable control of all the waterjets

and is based on years of experience.

The basic system controls and indicates

the steering angle, bucket position and

impeller speed. The system’s main features are

decentralized controllers and the use of fi eld

bus technology between the cabinets and the

remote control stations.

The system’s built-in redundancy makes

it safe and robust. The system meets all the

requirements for vessels that need to comply

with high-speed code regulations.

Field-bus technology makes it easy to

connect coordinating control systems like Lips-

stick and Auto Pilot.

LIPSTRONIC 7000 STEERABLE THRUSTER360 degree control of each thruster gives

manual motion control. Direction and thrust are

easily controlled at the manoeuvring stations.

Modular design

Fixed pitch propellers

Controllable pitch propellers

Retraction control

Interfaces for DP and Auto Pilot

LIPSTRONIC 7000 TRANSVERSE THRUSTERTransverse thrusters improve the

manoeuvrability of vessels at low ship speeds.

The control can be integrated with the

Lipstronic 7000 system or stand-alone

depending on the ship’s confi guration.

Field bus communication can be selected

between the cabinet and manoeuvring stations.

LIPSTRONIC 7000 ENGINE START/STOP AND SAFETYThe engine safety system can be a stand-

alone system or integrated with the Lipstronic

propulsion control system. The system meets

all classifi cation regulations and is type

approved in all major societies.

The system takes care of starting and

stopping and all safety shutdowns. Appropriate

alarms are sent to the central alarm system.

LIPSTRONIC 7000 RUDDER CONTROLThe rudder control is based on the same

standard Lipstronic 7000 system. The rudder

control can be integrated with the manoeuvring

stations to simplify the user interface.

Lipstronic 7000 rudder control can also be

interfaced with in-ship auto-pilot systems or

vessel control systems.

JOYSTICK SYSTEMThe joystick with brand name Lipsstick offers

manoeuvring modes for sailing or manoeuvring

at low ship speeds. This system is suitable

for controlling up to eight propulsors, such as

(unlinked) rudders, controllable pitch propellers,

bow and stern thrusters. Auto heading mode

is a standard option. Typical applications are

working boats such as supply vessels.

The joystick solution represents a fully co-

ordinating Lipstronic 7000 system. Optional

like the joystick for waterjet applications, the

joystick controller sends the users orders to the

decentralized control systems for actuation. A

real-time data highway ensures that the user is

always in control.

The data highway can have two separate

fields, one for control and one for diagnostics.

The system is open, allowing full integration

with other systems on the vessel such as

dunamic position (DP), navigation systems and

power management systems (PMS).

The diagnostic highway can be used to

obtain in-ship monitoring and tracking of

propulsion data.

PROPULSION MONITORING SYSTEMThe latest monitoring system keeps track of

your data – wherever you are.

The propulsion control monitoring system

has an attractive user interface for viewing

data and also acts as a ship-to-shore data

provider, giving access to propulsion data

wherever the user is. Customized monitoring

systems are built using standard industrial data

mining servers and protocols. The data may be

browsed or analysed from the user’s preferred

location, using the global Internet.

The same monitoring system can be

used to indicate fuel consumption without

mechanical flow sensors.

LIFECYCLE CONTROLFUEL CONSUMPTIONAn optimized propulsion control system gives

the most effective thrust in any weather or load

conditions.

DIAGNOSTICManually or digitally logged operation data

makes it possible to analyse and track

performance changes before critical situations

arise.
