The future of Engine Automation

MAN Diesel & Turbo
Leading technology – responsibly

MAN Diesel & Turbo is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of low- and
medium-speed engines – our power plants are capable of supplying around 50 per-
cent of the energy needed for all world trade. We develop two-stroke and four-stroke
units, auxiliary engines, turbochargers and propulsion packages, manufactured both
by the MAN Diesel & Turbo Group and licensed partners.

At MAN Diesel & Turbo, we are focusing more attention on the environmental
performance of our engines than ever before. By applying our unrivalled understanding
of large engine technology, we aim to make our engines progressively cleaner, more
powerful, and more efficient.

We are committed to cutting emissions while increasing the fuel efficiency and
power density of our engines. To this end, we support the introduction of new laws
and regulations on ship emissions. Our aim is to deliver power plants that achieve
an ideal synthesis of prime mover characteristics.

Leveraging MAN Diesel & Turbo’s core competencies, we have developed the
robust, first-class SaCoSone engine control system – taking our commitment to the
environment a step further.

Advanced automation solutions for turbochargers
and four-stroke engines

Today’s engines are constantly evolving, and the latest innovations pose new
challenges. Control systems play a crucial role in extracting the best-possible
performance from the power plant, so it is vital that they keep up with the pace
of engine development. To do this, they must combine sophisticated hardware and
first-class software design. SaCoSone (Safety and Control System on engine) from
MAN Diesel & Turbo does just that, and is able to withstand even the harshest
operating conditions.

As technology pushes the boundaries of the physic- Increasing functionality & benefits
ally possible, concepts such as adaptive engine con-
trol provide the flexibility required to meet today’s 200
performance needs. And a guaranteed, future-proof
approach to design helps tackle the problems of
tomorrow. SaCoS one was developed with these
aspects in mind, while keeping an eye on another key
factor: safety. This system meets the highest of safety 100
standards, and this is reflected in the first two letters
of the name.

However, the complexity of engines is not shaped

 The Family
A turnkey system solution

The SaCoSone family is a solution capable of meeting a variety of system require-

ments: with just a few module types, we cover the whole engine range.
Components can be added in line with the specific application. Older, centralized
systems can no longer keep pace with rapidly evolving engines and variants. In
contrast, SaCoSone is based on a flexible, decentralized system, so it is able to
adapt to these challenges quickly and easily.

A clearly structured system of modular components

The challenge was to create a solution that accom-
modates as many application scenarios as possible.
In response, we produced a clear, modular design
that forms the basis of our entire four-stroke product
portfolio, including all turbochargers – from the small
five-cylinder auxiliary genset, to the 20-cylinder dual-
fuel engine.
incorporating additional functionality and I/O ranges
is easy, regardless of the physical con­figuration. The
modular design is highly scalable and simple, ensuring
that new monitoring functionality can be integrated
quickly and efficiently.
