DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERALIZED ONBOARD RESPONSE MONITORING SYSTEM. PHASE 1; FINAL REPT

Design specifications for a standard Ship Response Monitor (SRM) are developed on the basis of an analysis of performance requirements. Issues addressed in the analysis of performance requirements include major and optional system functions, sensors and interfacing, packaging, displays and controls, and selection of an appropriate controller. Cost implications for the options reviewed are discussed and recommendations for the basic SRM are developed. It is concluded that to insure acceptance by operating companies, the SRM should be designed as a single function bridge instrument which can be purchased and installed for between $30,000 and $40,000. Based on these conclusions a design is developed and specifications are given for the unit to be evaluated during Phase II of the project. The recommended design consists of standard industrial measurement and control hardware operating under control of software written in a high level language.
