Description
The Rolls-Royce CCO-1 (Part Number: A 7030007) is a specialized electronic PCB module primarily used in maritime propulsion and control systems. It acts as a critical interface for signal regulation and data communication within Rolls-Royce (often associated with their legacy Ulstein or Kamewa series) automation and control architectures. This module is essential for managing the logic that governs vessel maneuvering systems, thruster synchronization, or propulsion power distribution.
Technical Parameters
- Model: CCO-1
- Part Number: A 7030007
- Component Type: Printed Circuit Board (PCB) / Control Module
- System Compatibility: Rolls-Royce / Ulstein maritime propulsion control systems
- Application: Marine thruster and engine control logic
- Origin: Norway / United Kingdom
Application Areas
- Propulsion Control: Manages the interface between bridge maneuvering levers and propulsion actuators.
- Thruster Automation: Handles feedback loops and command signals for bow and stern thrusters.
- Maritime Power Management: Facilitates data exchange for shipboard auxiliary power and propulsion integration.
Product Usage Instructions
- Safety & Handling: As a precision electronic assembly, it is highly sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Always use a grounded wrist strap when handling the board.
- Installation: Before installation, ensure the control system rack is fully de-energized. Inspect the backplane connectors for any signs of oxidation or debris. Slide the module into the designated slot and ensure the locking handle is fully engaged to seat the board correctly.
- Firmware/Configuration: Ensure the module is configured according to your specific vessel’s propulsion setup. Some CCO-1 variants require specific dip-switch settings or software parameters to be loaded upon installation.
- Post-Installation Test: After installation, perform a system-wide diagnostic check. Verify that the module’s status LEDs indicate a “Healthy/Run” condition and that command signals are successfully traversing the board to the actuators.
Product Description
The CCO-1 module serves as the “brain” for specific segments of the vessel’s propulsion network. It processes incoming control signals from the bridge and translates them into precise output commands for thrusters and engines. Its design focuses on high-speed signal processing and reliability, ensuring that propulsion commands are executed with minimal latency—a requirement critical for safe navigation and station-keeping.
Protection & Environmental Parameters
- Enclosure: Designed for installation within a standard shipboard NEMA/IP-rated electrical cabinet.
- Environmental Shielding: Equipped with high-grade conformal coating to protect the circuitry against salt-mist, humidity, and the corrosive atmosphere of engine rooms.
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to +55°C.
- Humidity: 10% to 90% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How can I identify if the A 7030007 is faulty? Common indicators include persistent “Module Communication” alarms on the operator console, erratic thruster performance, or the lack of status LED activity on the card itself.
- Is this module field-repairable? Component-level repair (such as soldering or tracing board damage) is strictly discouraged due to the critical nature of maritime safety systems. It is standard industry practice to replace the board with a fully tested unit.
- Does the module require calibration? While the module itself is an electronic interface, it may require “zeroing” or calibration within the vessel’s control software to ensure it matches the physical positions of propulsion levers or thruster angles.
- Why is the part number important? Rolls-Royce control modules are often revision-specific. Even boards that look identical can have different internal logic or pin configurations. Always match the “A 7030007” identifier exactly.
