Description
The Kongsberg MSI-12 (Part Number 339368) is a high-precision Multi-Signal Interface (MSI) Module designed for integration into Kongsberg Maritime’s automation and control systems, such as the K-Chief or K-Bridge series. It serves as a centralized gateway for digitizing and processing various analog and digital sensor inputs from onboard machinery, such as temperature, pressure, tank levels, and status switches. The module is engineered for the demanding marine environment, featuring high reliability, EMI/EMC shielding, and seamless integration with the redundant fieldbus communication backbone of Kongsberg’s vessel control network.

Important Note: The MSI-12 is a mission-critical safety and monitoring component. When replacing this module, ensure the internal configuration files (often downloaded via the Engineering Workstation/Software) are correctly mapped to the specific channel IDs. Failure to synchronize the new module with the current vessel database can lead to erroneous sensor data display on the bridge.
