SiMON Products: Engines
Engines-Analog Screens

Engines are, in most cases, the most expensive single item on a vessel – they can be very expensive to repair or replace. SiMON provides continuous monitoring and alarm generation to assist in:
- Determining the most efficient, cost-effective operating RPMs by fuel flow rates and fuel pressures.
- Achieving optimum diesel operation and engine loading by use of exhaust temperatures and boost pressures.
- Providing warnings concerned with clogged strainers and deteriorating water pump impellers through water temperatures and water flow rates.
- Helping to prevent costly repairs by monitoring gear box pressures and temperatures, and graphical trending analysis which provides clues to deteriorating conditions.
There are two ways in which SiMON can gather information about your marine engines. With the new electronic engines, SiMON interfaces directly to the engine’s electronic brain that runs these engines reading the sensor information from the electronic module. On mechanical engines, or non-electronic engines, SiMON gathers engine operational data directly from its sensors. These SiMON sensors are installed in tandem on mechanical engines in a non-intrusive way, allowing the original sensors to drive the existing analog gauges as backup.

Engines-Digital Screens
The digital screen in the engines system shows the same data as the main screen, but in a digital format as opposed to a traditional gauge. In the digital example, the port and starboard engine data is displayed in exactly the same format, whereas the Analog Engine Gauge screen is displayed as a mirrored view. Many captains prefer the digital representation of engine data which provides, at a glance, exact details on engine operation. The large digital displays are readable at a great distance from the screen.

Engines-Air Screens
The air charts display air inlet temperature and the engine room barometric pressure. Both port and starboard engine values are plotted on the charts while also being displayed in the digital gauges.

The coolant screen shows the current state of an engine’s coolant temperature and level in both digital readout and plotted on a chart over time.

Engines-Gear Screens
Gear boxes or transmissions are a very important part of the power transmission in boats. Critical pressures and temperatures are displayed in chart and digital format.

Engines-Engine Load Screens
The load screen shows information about exhaust temperatures and engine load. Engine load is typically generated by electronic engines only.
