The DPS112 KONGSBERG is a highly specialized and critical Dual Power Supply module designed for Kongsberg Maritime’s renowned K-Chief and K-Bridge integrated automation and bridge control systems. This module is engineered to provide redundant, conditioned, and highly reliable DC power to the system’s central processing units, network modules, and other critical I/O components. The core function of the DPS112 KONGSBERG is to ensure continuous system availability by seamlessly accepting two independent AC input power sources, converting them to a stable and isolated low-voltage DC output, and automatically switching between inputs in the event of a mains failure or degradation. This robust power redundancy is paramount in maritime and offshore applications, where electrical power quality can be variable and uninterrupted operation of automation and safety systems is non-negotiable for vessel safety, navigation, and operational integrity.
As an integral part of Kongsberg’s distributed system architecture, the DPS112 KONGSBERG is designed to meet the stringent environmental and certification standards of the marine industry, including DNV-GL, ABS, and other major classification societies. Its design prioritizes fault tolerance, diagnostics, and ease of maintenance. The module typically features comprehensive status indication via LEDs, providing immediate visual feedback on input health, output status, and active power source. For vessels worldwide, the DPS112 KONGSBERG is an indispensable component that safeguards the entire automation platform against power-related disruptions, ensuring that monitoring, control, and safety functions remain operational under all conditions.

Main Features and Advantages
The DPS112 KONGSBERG is defined by its unparalleled reliability and built-in redundancy, which are critical for maritime operational continuity. Its primary advantage is the fully automatic and bumpless transfer between the two independent AC input sources. This ensures that the connected automation systems experience zero interruption in the event of a primary power source failure, a feature absolutely vital for critical navigation and safety systems on a vessel. The module incorporates advanced power conditioning, which provides protection against voltage spikes, sags, surges, and electrical noise commonly found in shipboard power networks, thereby ensuring a clean and stable DC output for sensitive electronic components.
Furthermore, the DPS112 KONGSBERG is designed for comprehensive diagnostics and ease of maintenance. The clear LED status indicators allow for immediate assessment of the module’s health and active power source from a distance. Its hot-swappable design, a standard feature in Kongsberg’s modular systems, allows for the replacement of a faulty power supply module without requiring a shutdown of the entire automation system, thereby maximizing vessel availability and simplifying onboard maintenance. The combination of robust power protection, seamless redundancy, and easy serviceability makes the DPS112 KONGSBERG a cornerstone for achieving the high levels of system availability and reliability demanded by the marine industry.
Application Field
The DPS112 KONGSBERG is deployed exclusively in maritime and offshore applications where power integrity is directly linked to safety and operational capability. It is a fundamental component within the Kongsberg K-Chief integrated automation system, which is installed on a vast range of vessels including cargo ships, tankers, container vessels, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers to monitor and control engine room machinery. Similarly, it is integral to the K-Bridge integrated navigation system used on offshore supply vessels, cruise ships, and naval vessels for controlling and powering console units, radar systems, and dynamic positioning control interfaces.
Its role is critical in ensuring that these systems remain online during power transitions between the ship’s main generators and emergency power sources. The DPS112 KONGSBERG is also found on offshore drilling rigs and production platforms, where it supports automation systems that manage ballast control, fire detection, and process safety. Essentially, this module is specified for any Kongsberg system onboard a vessel or offshore asset where a single point of power failure is unacceptable, ensuring continuous operation of the systems that manage the vessel’s propulsion, navigation, and safety.
