Programmable Logic Controllers - Electrical, Lighting and Power
Marine programmable logic controllers (PLCs) provide automatic monitoring, control and alarm functions for shipboard electrical, lighting, power management and auxiliary systems. They use ruggedized CPUs, distributed I/O and industrial communication networks for reliable vessel operation.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Programmable Logic Controllers for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable requirements may include IEC 61131-2 for PLC equipment, IEC 61131-3 for programming languages, IEC 60092-504 for special features of control and instrumentation equipment, and IACS UR E10 for marine type testing. Compliance depends on the exact hardware configuration and installation. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Marine type approval is available for selected PLC families, modules and configurations from societies such as DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas and ClassNK. Approval must be verified for the exact part number, software, enclosure and vessel application. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install in a suitable marine control cabinet with correct protection against vibration, humidity, salt atmosphere and temperature. Provide segregated wiring for power, control and communication circuits, proper grounding, surge protection and documented I/O testing. Follow the manufacturer manual and vessel class requirements. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect terminals, cabinet ventilation, power supplies and network connections periodically. Check diagnostic logs, battery or memory backup status where fitted, software backups and alarm functionality. Test redundant components and I/O channels according to the vessel planned-maintenance system. |
| Safety Notes | Isolate and lock out electrical supplies before installation or maintenance. Verify absence of voltage and discharge stored energy. Use approved marine-rated components, maintain separation from hazardous circuits and do not modify safety interlocks or control software without authorization and functional testing. |
