    Abstract: Control system for controlling operations of a marine vessel having a first engine and a second engine is provided. Parity switches are operable to start/stop first and second engine. Each parity switch is actuated for first time to activate remote start/stop control of respective engine. Each switch is actuated for second time to switch respective engine to ON or OFF state. Operator console is communicatively coupled to parity switches to receive first and/or second user inputs. Propulsion control unit is communicably coupled to operator console via network communication channel, first engine control unit of first engine and second engine control unit of second engine. Propulsion control unit receives operational parameters for engines from engine control units and receives first and second user inputs from operator console. Propulsion control unit transmits engine operating signals for operating respective engines in response to first and/or second user input and based on operational parameters.

    Abstract: A system for activating a screen cleaning mode for a user interface associated with a work machine includes a display screen associated with the user interface, the display screen being configured to display a control panel including a plurality of control icons for controlling one or more operations of the work machine. The system also includes a controller communicably coupled to the display screen. The controller is configured to receive a user input for activating the screen cleaning mode. The controller is also configured to switch the control panel to an inactive state. The control panel is switched to the inactive state based on a masking of the plurality of control icons. The controller is further configured to display a clean-up panel on the display screen. The clean-up panel includes a screen clean timer and a deactivation icon for deactivating the screen cleaning mode.
