DCU 210E Engine Controller

The DCU 210E is a complete, standalone engine supervision unit, with a daylight-capable and responsive touch screen, IP56 environmental protection front and rear, configurable input and output channels and a brand new lightning-fast CPU.

The new design is modern, effective and provides installation possibilities in all outdoor and exposed locations.

Compared to the classic DCU 210 engine controller, the new DCU 210E has the following advantages:

• Higher resolution screen and better colour depth
• Much faster processor
• Capacitive touch screen technology instead of resistive gives better response to operator inputs
• IP56 sealed front and rear
• Deutsch DT-connector connectivity
• All I/O channels are configurable as inputs, outputs, signal type, etc.
• Two thermistor channels
• Dual J1939 CAN bus engine interface channels

Using the high resolution colour touch screen, the operator can easily browse instrument screens, alarm lists and menus available in 13 pre-loaded languages including Chinese and Russian. Additionally, dedicated start/stop, home and alarm acknowledge buttons have been provided to make operation even more intuitive.

The unit is optimized for today’s electronic engines and gearboxes with two J1939 interfaces, and the 19 fully configurable inputs allows a wide variety of sensor inputs from older mechanical engines and transmissions. Suitable for both 12- and 24V DC 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 are possible. With the built in web server and the internet browser on your laptop or portable device, the DCU 210E can be easily configured.

Modbus communication is available on RS-485 and on Ethernet as Modbus TCP as standard. A configuration or firmware file can easily be up or downloaded into the unit, 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 by unskilled operators.

Note!

A Connector Kit (P/N: 1006479) including four Deutsch DT-connectors, crimp sockets and sealing plugs is available and if needed this must be ordered separately.

If purchased as a replacement for a classic DCU 210, a Harness Conversion Kit (P/N: 1006945) with four Deutsch DT-connectors prewired to four DCU 200-series connectors for easy installation.
