10. Menu (?)/Activation
The system is carefully designed to guarantee its function between two dry-dock periods,
with almost no maintenance. The lifetime of the anodes is based on the information given
by the shipyard or ship owner. The almost complete dissolved anodes should be changed
during a dry-dock period, with original spare anodes only.
After commissioning the ICCP system should by activated with a special key, which can be
obtained by internet. The expire date of this code is equal to a dry-dock period (lifetime of
the anodes), plus a safety margin.

Before expiration, the system will generate a pre-alarm and show the remaining lifetime of
the anodes, thus before maintenance is required.

The set point of this pre-alarm is set to assure plenty of time to schedule maintenance and
arrange the necessary original (spare) parts.
The system will repeat the pre-alarm a few times.
After installation of the original anodes, the system should by activated again with a
special code, which can be obtained by internet.
To avoid any damage on the vessel, the system will shut down completely.

To view the remaining period or to enter a new activation key:

 login to at least level 1
 Proceed to the activation menu
 The screen shows the original period (current activation time) and the remaining time.

 To obtain an activation code, note the serial number of the DPU (Snr.) and the system
code (Sys.code).
 Visit the website of Corrosion & Water Control bv (www.corrosion.nl), to fill in above
mentioned numbers to obtain the activation key.
 Touch the “enter activation key” and enter the new activation key.
 The system is now activated and ready to use.

 Attention; A locked DPU can only be unlocked with a valid activation key!

 After entering a new activation code, the remaining time will be

overruled. The new entered period will start immediately.

When the system is activated you are able to make use of our worldwide service network.
All service engineers have easy access to all relevant details of the system when activated,
so fast and determined action can be taken when required. With this feature we try to
reduce the installation of non-original parts, which can affect the function of our system.

 11. Understanding the hardware
 DPU

The DPU (digital processor unit) consists of a LCD display with a touch screen and
microprocessor controller.
This DPU is capable to control max. 4 independent ICCP units, all collaborating if required,
but with individual settings and controlling specifications. Physically the ICCP units can be
set up with distances up to 1000 meter (3280 feet) from the DPU.
The DPU software provides a fully automatic control and provides all the information and
functions, which makes it capable to meet nearly an infinity of requirements and
configurations suitable for any size of vessel structures in any situation.
The DPU can be installed in one of the unit cabinets or separate (e.g. control room).

 Units

Splitting the ICCP system in two or more units might be useful:

 On large vessels;
 When more reference cells are preferred;
 When the anode cables are too long and the voltage drop of these cables is to high;
 When, on large vessels, installation costs are interesting.

Each system, at least, consists of:

 4 analog sensor inputs for measuring the potentials of the structure and/or monitoring
shaft grounding;
 2 Anodes;
 One or more rectifiers to generate the current needed for the anodes;
 One or more ICCP cards*, depending on the number of rectifiers and/or shafts
grounding to be monitored.

* Each ICCP card equipped with 2 PSU outputs to connect the rectifiers and 4 sensor inputs
that can be used for reference cells and shaft grounding monitoring.

 Control modes

The system can be set in the automatic or manual operation mode. In normal situations
the system will run in Auto-mode.
The following indicators are shown on the status display when active:

(auto) : Auto potential control, power on;

(auto(off)) : Auto potential control with dynamic setpoint based on

off-potential measurements, power on;

(manual) : Manual mode; fixed current control;

(off request) : Off potential measurement in progress;

(remote) : Remote mode, changes only through ModBus, not local;

(powerboost) : ICCP fresh water purposes;

(pause) : Unit is in pause-mode.

Auto control

The ICCP system consists of a fully automatic potential control algorithm, to always keep
the structure in the optimal potential range regardless of changing environmental
parameters.
Besides controlling, the system will monitor and log all exceeding limits and control the
functioning of the hardware.

The status screen (1.0.0.0) shows the actual information in a glance. Daily there will be
made one or more data log(s) in order to always have a complete history of the
performance available.

Functions related to auto control;

2.0.1.1) Mode Toggles between auto control and manual control.
2.0.1.3) Setpoint Sets the target potential during auto control.

 Attention:
Initials settings (defaults) or changing the hardware configuration
settings will always set the mode to “Manual”, 0 Ampere.

Auto(off) control

This control method is similar to the auto control, however the setpoint is not static but
dynamic. The system measures off-potentials on a preset interval and according to this
value it will adjust its setpoint so that eventually a situation is reached that there is a
certain off-potential value. This method of ‘semi off-potential control’ was specially
developed for static off-shore structures like wind turbines.

The status screen (1.0.0.0) shows the actual information in a glance. Daily there will be
made one or more data log(s) in order to always have a complete history of the
performance available.

Functions related to auto(off) control;

2.0.1.1) Mode Toggles between auto control and manual control.
2.0.1.3) Setpoint Sets the target potential during auto control.
2.0.2.4) Pot. limiter Adjustment of the limit of the ‘dynamic setpoint’ when
the system is in auto(off) mode.
3.1.2.4) Offvalue interval Sets the interval in minutes between “off”
measurements (0=off).
3.1.2.5) Offmeasure delay Time delay (10th of seconds) between switching off the
current and taking the measurement in order to
polarize the structure rapidly.

 Attention:
Initials settings (defaults) or changing the hardware configuration
settings will always set the mode to “Manual”, 0 Ampere.

Manual operation

Manual operation mode is only reserved for testing the system performance, or as a
temporary backup system in case the automatic system fails. The manual control will
provide the chosen current output regardless of the actual hull potential. Use this manual
operation only after consulting Corrosion Maritime.
Increase the required current by steps of 0.5 Amperes until the potential difference is set
to -800 mV to – 900mV.
In the first 12 hours, check the potential difference every hour for the potential
differences. After 12 hours it is recommended to check the potential difference once
a day.

 Set manual current back to 0 Ampere when switching back to Auto

mode.

Functions related to manual control;

2.0.1.1) Mode Toggles between auto control and manual control.
2.0.1.2) Manual current Sets the fixed amount amperes during manual control.

 RHDS control

RHDS control has been developed specifically for the protection inside more or less closed
areas of structures. RHDS stands for Reduced Hydrogen Development System.
Its functioning is best explained by a graph:

It uses small steps to eventually reach the setpoint. By doing this, the development of
potentially dangerous hydrogen gas is greatly reduced.
In the system, the RHDS function generates its own logs. Each step change will be logged
with all the relevant information. Besides, a unit log will be created as well to display the
potentials of that specific moment.
Also logs will be created when:
- RHDS control is activated for a unit;
- RHDS control is deactivated for a unit.

 piggy-back status

The piggy-back network module is able to display its current status on the main screen.
The following indicators are shown on the status display when active:

: Piggy-back should be present but no communication;

: Piggy-back loaded with old or incompatible firmware;

: Flexnet/Modbus/CWCentral interface is enabled but offline;

: Flexnet/Modbus/CWCentral interface is online but inactive;

: Flexnet/Modbus/CWCentral interface is online and active.

Off potential

The system is also capable of measuring the actual potential level, of the stucture, without
the interference of the ICCP anodes. These “off potentials” measurements are done by the
reference cells when all anodes of the complete ICCP system are temporary de-activated.

 It is recommended to disable this “off value” function on naval vessels

or vessels executed with high sensitive measuring equipment/sensors
on the outside hull (underwater part).

Functions related to off potential;

3.1.2.4) Offvalue interval Sets the interval in minutes between “off”
measurements (0=off).
3.1.2.5) Offmeasure delay Time delay (sec) between switching off the current and
taking the measurement in order to polarize the
structure rapidly.

 Alarm relays

The system includes two double poled relays for respectively alarm notification to third
party equipment and indication of the system status.

Both relays will be activated whenever an alarm occurs. The first relay will be de-activated
after acknowledgement, while the second relay stays active as long as the alarm situation
remains.

The function 3.1.1.3) alarm relays provides the choice whether, the relays should be
energized (normally de-energized) or vice versa. Together with both normally open or
closed hardware connections available, a variety of function can be made, depended on
the requirement.

While an alarm is not (yet) acknowledged, the first relays will stay active. In order to be
notified of other alarms, the function 3.2.1.1) AL/Relays pulse can be enabled by
setting a relay interruption time in seconds. This will create a short de-activation in order
to trigger a new alarm.

 “normally open” and “normally closed” contacts are in perspective of

a de-energized relays.

The recommended connection is a de-energized relays connected to the normally open

contacts. In order to have a “fail safe” alarm which will set the alarm in case of power
interruption or broken wires.

Functions of the alarm relays:

3.1.1.3) alarm relays Defines energized or de-energized relays function
during alarm.
3.2.1.1) AL/Relays pulse Generates new pulse (R1) in case of new alarm while
previous alarm is not acknowledged (pulse time in sec,
0= disable).

 For a complete understanding of the alarm behaviour, we refer to the

following schematic overview;

 Event & alarm logging

The DPU is equipped with a flash memory which offers space for 15000 alarm, events or
data logs.
The internal flash mechanism is bases on FI-FO (First In - First Out) e.g. after complete
filling of the memory the oldest log will be replaced by any new one.

There are 4 types of logs:

 Data logs : general daily log of the performance of the ICCP system;
 Alarm logs : error code including time stamp and source of the alarm;
 System log : system dump of current hard and software situation, especially for
debug hard & software purposes;
 Event logs : to monitor changes at the system like start-up.

 The last 100 alarm logs (including startup event log) can be displayed in
the display provided with timestamp 3.3.0.0 Logs).

 Clearing the alarms in the display will not delete the logs in the flash
memory.

 To copy logs onto a SD-card

 SD-Card

The back of the DPU is provided with a SD-card slot.

The SD card is used for update the system and import/export data form and into the
system.

 The SD card must be formatted with the FAT16 system. This can be
achieved by any computer with a Windows™ operating system with a SD
card slot.

Import/export data
When sliding a SD-Card in the slot, while the system is powered, the DPU will
automatically detect the presents and trigger the SD-card menu (3.4.0.0)

This menu shows the following options:

Make log : instantly make a system dump (internal memory!)
Export Log : copies the TOTAL log (including a system dump) on SD-card.
Import language : import a second language from SD-card (future option)

Update the ICCP

To update the ICCP system;
 Copy the update file (xxx.alf file) on to the SD-card.
 be sure the system is unpowered.
 Slide the SD-card into the slot
 Power the system
 The screen shows the status of the update import and will start automatically after
finishing the update. (don’t interrupt this process!)
 Check the settings and adjust were needed.

 Attention :
In case of new release with additional functions, parameters and
configurations will be set as factory defaults. Be sure to have a backup of
all the settings and configurations and the knowledge to adjust these.
