DCU 208E Engine Controller

The DCU 208E is a complete engine supervision unit without a local user interface. Its I/O can be selected as inputs or outputs, and are widely configurable. It also sports afast CPU.

The unit is operated from one or several Remote Panels from the 200- or 400 Series. Start/Stop, Home and Alarm Acknowledge buttons are all available from the Remote Panel. The unit is optimized for today’s electronic engines and gearboxes with two J1939 interfaces, and the 19 fully configurable I/O channels allows a wide variety of sensor inputs from older mechanical engines and transmissions. Suitable for both 12- and 24 VDC installations.

In larger projects, the unit can be expanded with additional inputs using the built-in RIO link. There is also a module available that links in generator AC parameters. These inputs need not be just engine parameters but inputs from any engine room system is possible. With the built-in web server and the internet browser on your laptop or portable device, the DCU 208E can be easily configured.

Modbus communication is available on RS-485 and on Ethernet as Modbus TCP, of course as standard. A configuration or firmware file can easily be up- or downloaded, semi-automatically, by inserting a USB memory stick into the provided port, eliminating the need for any tooling or software, and providing field updating and installation also by untrained operators.

DCU 208E works well with the Marine Broadcast, a cloud-based service giving users on any remote device running a standard web browser access to the alarm list of the connected vessel.
