This thesis proposes a marine engine state monitoring system using dynamic ID application and scheduling method of network sensors which collects the state of bearings temperature and pressure of engine through the CAN network. This thesis proposes the effective monitoring method for marine engine system, which is implemented based upon CAN (Controller Area Network) network. As the marine engine monitoring system requires various kind of information, a lot of sensor nodes are distributed to several places. The dynamic application mechanism of CAN protocol ensures, which all nodes are transferred according to the priority of node identifiers. All the CAN modules are connected to the SCU (Signal Control Unit) module for the efficient communication and processing. SCU module of the time master is responsible for the transmission of CAN module message. Through these methods, message with low-priority were ensured to transmit message and node balancing on CAN bus. This design reduces the cost for wiring and improves the data transmission reliability by recognizing the sensor errors and data transmission errors. Conventional communication method as RS232 and RS485 is supported for compatibility with the existing Marine Engine State Monitoring System. Therefore state of marine is able to be checked in ER(Engine Room).
