It is a compact unit consisting of a front face utilizing a 5.7” color screen with 70 PPI resolution, which can be mounted to almost any flat surface with a cut-out.

The DCU 410E accepts input data from the engine J1939 CAN bus link plus multiple physical I/O, which can be expanded with expansion units. It can communicate with the ships alarm system on CANopen and Modbus RTU, as well as Modbus TCP on standard Ethernet.

The DCU 410E also provides engine control logic and the outputs required, including but not limited to, pre-lubrication control, start & stop signals, both ETR and ETS, plus remote interfaces for these functions.

Connections are made via clearly labeled connectors on the rear of the panel and need no special tools.

Finally, the panel is fully prepared for remote panel integration and works seamlessly with the Auto-Maskin remote panel(s).
Why more customers select the DCU 410E

Customers of the DCU 410E find that the simplicity, self-configuration and wide range of functionality are prime reasons to select this model across many applications and uses on board ships that require compliance with global standards. With more than ten languages including Chinese and Russian built in, the information the product displays is easy to understand, leading to better operational decisions.

The ability of the unit to connect to other ships systems without sophisticated software or specialist tools makes it installable and usable by nonexperts. Customizable by a simple laptop with a web browser and a standard Ethernet cable, the password-protected areas allow more flexible configuring or customization when required.

With a literally “plug & play” capability, the DCU 410E configures all other elements of the Marine Pro system automatically.
