| dc.description.abstract | The primary purpose of an Addressable Bilge Alarm Panel is to provide an early
warning of the bilge level of a vessel so that the personnel, equipment and valuable
resources can be protected and action can be taken to remove bilges as soon as
possible, all according to a predetermined plan. This study presents aspects of the
bilge alarm system on-board Sri Lanka Naval Ship (SLNS) Sagara, by analysing the
existing system based on automation and advanced microcontroller programming
using Raspberry Pi3, and ATMEGA 328P microcontrollers. The designed system is
an addressable type bilge alarm system that communicates in serial RS 485. The
novelty of the designed system are the own data protocol used in RS 485
communication, voice command of specific bilge location and the self-designed
advanced graphical user interfaces (GUI). | en_US |
