Description
Product Introduction
The SAM Electronics DAS 40M is a robust duty alarm monitoring system designed for marine and offshore installations, providing reliable alarm detection, signal processing and logging of critical duty-status events. As a flagship product in SAM Electronics’ alarm system portfolio, the DAS 40M integrates seamlessly into engine rooms, control centres and ship automation panels, fulfilling duties such as monitoring sensor states, initiating alarm outputs, and recording duty changes.
Within a shipboard automation architecture, the DAS 40M serves as an essential interface between sensors, field devices and the central automation system. It processes inputs from temperature, pressure, level, vibration, or other sensors, applies duty logic, and triggers alarms or outputs when defined thresholds or states are exceeded. Its marine-grade design ensures it withstands the rigours of vessel operations, including vibration, temperature fluctuation and electromagnetic interference. With the DAS 40M, fleet operators gain a dependable tool that enhances safety and compliance in demanding marine applications.
Core Advantages and Technical Highlights
High reliability in marine environments:
The DAS 40M is engineered specifically for marine and offshore automation applications. Its rugged construction, responsible duty-alarm logic and high-availability design mean that it can be trusted in critical operations where failure is not an option.
Flexible alarm logic and duty‐status monitoring:
With the DAS 40M, users can configure multiple sensor inputs, assign duty statuses, define alarm thresholds and output triggers. This flexibility allows the system to be adapted to a wide variety of equipment and vessel types, from main engines to auxiliary machinery.
Compact panel-mount form factor:
Despite its powerful capabilities, the DAS 40M is designed to fit conveniently within automation panels or control cabinets. This compact design simplifies installation and wiring, aiding faster retrofits or new installations.
Long service lifetime & spare-part continuity:
SAM Electronics ensures that the DAS 40M family enjoys long‐term availability of spares and maintenance support, an advantage especially valuable in marine operations where lifecycle costs and obsolescence play a major role.
Ease of maintenance and diagnostics:
The system supports clear status indicators, fault monitoring and easy access to key inputs/outputs. This assists engineers and maintenance personnel in identifying issues quickly and restoring full operation with minimal downtime.
Typical Application Scenarios
The DAS 40M finds broad application across marine vessels, offshore platforms, and industrial installations where duty-alarm and monitoring systems are essential:
- On board maritime vessels: The DAS 40M monitors critical systems such as main engines, generators, pumps and fire-detection loops, capturing duty changes and triggering alarms when operational limits are exceeded.
- Offshore oil & gas installations: The system is used in modules or platform automation to monitor duty cycles, equipment status and safety interlocks, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments.
- Ship automation and control systems: Integrated into bridge or engine-room panels, the DAS 40M supports compliance with marine safety standards, logging duty changes and providing alarm outputs to central SCADA or automation networks.
- Retrofitting or upgrading control panels: When older alarm systems need replacement, the DAS 40M offers a compact and capable upgrade path, reducing wiring changes and enhancing functionality.
In every scenario, the DAS 40M contributes to enhanced operational safety, reliable alarm detection and reduced risk of equipment failure or unscheduled downtime.
