Description
The MAN B&W 2101544-1 OB Module is an Operation Box module designed for MAN B&W marine diesel engine control systems. It provides the operator interface functions required for local engine operation, including engine start/stop commands, mode selection, alarm indication, reset functions, and operational status display.
The OB Module is typically integrated with MAN B&W engine automation systems and communicates with the engine control base module. It allows crew members to interact with the engine control system through dedicated buttons, indicators, and display functions during normal operation and maintenance procedures.
The 2101544-1 module is commonly used as a replacement spare part for MAN B&W marine engines, including L-series engine control applications. It is supplied for maintaining existing vessel automation systems where original hardware compatibility is required.
