WARTSILA CCM-20 Communication Module

Product Overview

The Wartsila CCM-20 is a specialized control and communication module designed for the precise management of Wartsila 20 series marine engines. Acting as the central nervous system for the engine's electronic architecture, the CCM-20 facilitates seamless interaction between engine sensors, actuators, and ship-wide automation networks. 

Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer: Wartsila

• Model: CCM-20

• Compatibility: Wartsila 20 series (Diesel and Dual-Fuel engines)

• Processor: High-speed embedded microcontroller for real-time logic

• Communication Interfaces: CAN bus, RS-485, and Ethernet

• Power Supply: 24 V DC (Nominal) with integrated over-voltage protection

• Operating Temperature: –25 °C to +70 °C

Key Features

• Advanced Signal Acquisition: Efficiently collects a wide array of analog and digital signals from engine-mounted sensors, including high-precision data for temperature, oil pressure, and crankshaft speed.

• Optimized Actuator Control: Directly manages critical engine actuators such as fuel injection pumps and valves. This ensures optimized combustion cycles, reduced emissions, and enhanced turbocharging performance.

• Robust Marine Networking: Supports multiple industrial communication protocols (CAN bus / RS-485 / Ethernet), allowing the module to integrate reliably with various vessel management systems (VMS) and bridge controls.

• Preventive Maintenance Tools: Continuously monitors system health and logs internal faults. These diagnostic logs enable maintenance crews to identify issues before they lead to engine downtime.

• Marine-Grade Durability: Built to survive the extreme conditions of a ship's engine room, the ruggedized housing protects delicate electronics against constant vibration, mechanical shock, and thermal extremes.

• Integrated Circuit Protection: Outfitted with over-voltage and short-circuit protection to prevent electrical surges from damaging the engine's control backbone.
