Which consoles make up the Propulsion Control System?

• A. Ship Control Console (SCC) and Shaft Control Units (SCUs)
• B. Propulsion Auxiliary Control Console (PACC), and Universal Engine Controller (UEC)
• C. Ship Control Console (SCC), Propulsion Auxiliary Control Console (PACC), Shaft Control Units (SCUs), and Universal Engine Controller (UEC)
• D. Ship Control Console (SCC), Propulsion Auxiliary Control Console (PACC), and Shaft Control Units (SCUs)

Answer: (C)

Propulsion control is handled by four interfaces that cover command, auxiliary control, shaft management, and engine logic. The Ship Control Console provides the primary interface for commanding propulsion and coordinating propulsion actions across the ship. The Propulsion Auxiliary Control Console supports auxiliary propulsion control and monitoring to back up the main system. The Shaft Control Units manage the shafts, handling speed, torque, and shaft data to protect and optimize the drivetrain. The Universal Engine Controller contains the engine control logic, processing inputs and applying protections and performance control. Put together, these four components form the complete Propulsion Control System. If an option omits any one of them, it isn’t describing the full system, so the comprehensive set is the correct choice.
