Overview of the 200
series
The drawing below shows a typical
layout.
DCU 210E Engine Panel
The DCU 210E engine panel is the
main building block in the 200 Series.
Engine sensor values are displayed on
the color touch screen, and commands
and other user interaction is also here.
DCU 208E Engine Panel
The DCU 208E is basically the same as
the DCU 210E, but without the color
touch screen.
It saves cost being used in smaller
engine rooms, where a remote panel is
all that is needed.
Configuration
An ordinary PC web-browser is used
to configure the DCU, using the inbuilt
web-server on the DCU.
RP 210E/220E Remote Panel
The optional RP remote panel brings
everything on the DCU to a remote
location, with the exact same user
interface. It does not need any
configuration, as it is reading the
configuration from the DCU.
As such, the RP can easily be
retrofitted.
The RP also supports one IP-camera to
be installed on the network.

Configuration Manual - 200E Series
Page 3
Ethernet Switch
The Ethernet switch is not necessary if
only one DCU 210E and one RP
210E/220E is in use. These can then
be wired with an Ethernet cable
directly.
It is recommended to make use of an
Ethernet switch though, as it simplifies
PC configuration connection and
future expansion to remote panels
and/or camera interface.
Expansion
The basic system can be expanded
with more input and output channels
using the versatile RIO units (Remote
I/O).
Currently, there are RIO units for
General I/O expansion, RIO 410
and RIO 210.
Exhaust temperature
monitoring, RIO 412
Generator monitoring, RIO 425
Load sharing, LSU 408

First Power-On
Preparations
First, make sure to consult the Quick
Installation Guide (QIG) that came with
the panel.
Installation
Install the panel according to
guidelines in the Installation manual.
Connections
Connect power to the panel according
to guidelines in the Installation
manual.
First Power-On Wizard
The DCU (not DCU 208E) will display
the
first power-on wizard at the first
power up after delivery, or after a
factory reset of the panel.
All wizard settings can be changed
later.

Configuration Manual - 200E Series
Page 5
Configuration
This section explains the configuration
of the DCU.
Configuration- and
Firmware files
The DCU may be configured either
using the built in web server, or by
inserting a USB memory stick with a
predefined configuration file.
DCU Web Server Configuration
Interface
The panel has a built in web server,
offering access to full configuration.
USB memory with Configuration
file
Insert a USB memory with the
configuration file(s) and follow the
guidelines appearing on the panel
screen.
Valid filename characters
a-z
A-Z
0-9
“_” (underscore)
“-“(hyphen)
If other characters are being used,
then the panel may not “see” it.
Rename the configuration file to solve
the issue.
When the USB memory is inserted, the
panel asks for the administration
password (4 digits).
The panel then lists the configuration
file(s) available on the USB memory.
Select file(s) then select COPY to copy
these files into the User Files area in
the panel. Note that this does not
activate the file; it is merely a copy of
the file into the panel.
Select a file, and then select USE to
copy and activate this configuration
file.
Note! The DCU 208E does not have a
screen interface and hence this
method does not work on that unit.
USB memory with Firmware
file
A USB memory stick can be used to
install a new firmware in the DCU.
Note! If the memory unit has firmware
for both the DCU and the RP, and the
intention is to upgrade both panels,
then make sure to upgrade the RP
firmware first!
Connecting to the DCU
It is possible to connect a laptop to the
DCU either directly or through a LAN
(Local Area Network).
Note! For use in an existing Ethernet
network, check the configuration of
the LAN with the LAN manager.
To connect to the DCU
Connect an Ethernet cable between the
laptop and the DCU port Ethernet port.

Further connection settings
Change the IP address of the
DCU
If necessary, the IP address of the DCU
can easily be changed.
Note! The last digit in the IP address
becomes the engine number.
The DCU has a fixed IP address that is
set during the first power-on set up.
The IP address may also be changed
later, in the DCU panel menu here:
Menu –Settings –
Administration –Network
Configuration
IP address convention
The factory default IP address of the
DCU is 192.168.0.101. The first three
groups must be the same for all
components in the LAN, for instance
192.168.0.x, where x is the other unit
in the LAN.
Note! The x-number must be unique
within the LAN. Also, the two last
digits in x will represent the engine
number.
Example: A DCU with the IP address
192.168.0.104 will be named “Engine
#4”.
Factory defaults for the DCU
Factory defaults are valid at initial
startup only.
IP address: 192.168.0.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
The IP address configuration will not
be kept, if a Factory Reset operation is
performed.
DHCP IP addresses range: 101 –199
within the subnet defined by the DCUs
IP address.

I/O Configuration
The I/O section is found under:
Home DCU I/O Configuration.
It has menu items for flexible I/O,
input and output signals. These are
separated into three sections.
Note! Always remember to press the
Submit button after each change on
the configuration pages. No changes
are saved until this button is pressed!
Flexible I/O
This is where the Flexible I/O channels
are defined. Each channel can be used
for a variety of input and output
functions, such as:
24VDC Supply
0VDC
Switch Input
Configurable Output
4-20mA sensor
Voltage sensor
5V (#6)
J1939#2 (#20 and #21)
Note! Making changes to the flexible
I/O configuration may result in
damage to sensors connected to the
panel. It is recommended to
disconnect all sensors from the panel
before making changes.
After a flexible I/O channel has been
defined it will appear in the respective
menu as enabled.
Eg. Connector C1P1 has been defined
as a “4-20mA” channel in the Flexible
I/O section. It will now be available in
DCU Config Inputs 4-20mA.
Config Inputs
This is where the I/O input channels
are configured, such as 4-20mA,
PT100 and switch inputs.
Engine Speed
This is where engine speed sensors
are configured, and the overspeed
setpoint is set. The majority of the
configuration is synchronized with
SDU.
Note! This section is central to any
installation. It provides the DCU with
data required to form an exact and
reliable reading of the engine speed.
HomeDCUI/O ConfigurationEngine Speed

Configuration Manual - 200E Series
Page 11
Source
The Engine Speed is constructed by
reading data from up to three sources
simultaneously. These three sources
are prioritized by the DCU. As long as
the RPM Primary Source is functional,
it is used to form the actual Engine
Speed. Should the RPM Primary Source
fail, the DCU uses the RPM Secondary
Source if available. Finally, the RPM
Third Source is used only when both
Primary and Secondary fails.
Each of the RPM Sources can be
configured to receive data from a
number of possible sensors.

General Configuration
RPM Rounding rounds off the
displayed value to nearest 1, 5 or 10
RPM.
RPM Setpoint is the RPM at which the
DCU indicates the engine is running,
and disconnects the cranker.
RPM Setpoint 2-5 are optional
setpoints that can be used in
conjunction with other sensors.
RPM Ready to take Load is a signal
that can be configured to an output. It
activates when that RPM is reached. It
deactivates when a stop command is
given, OR the speed drops below the
threshold, minus 15%.
RPM Nominal Speed is the engines
nominal speed, and is used to lower
the RPM Overspeed on the Overspeed
test to 95 % of the nominal speed.
General
Channel Use is the selection for where
the signal shall be displayed.
Select DCU+RP to display the
instrument in the DCU and in the RP.
Select DCU to display in DCU only, and
not in any connected RP.
Select RP to display in any connected
RP only, and not in the DCU.
Display
These values define how the
instrument widget is presented.
Display Range Min is the minimum
value displayed, normally 0 (zero).

Configuration Manual - 200E Series
Page 12
Display Range Max is the maximum
value displayed. For an engine running
at 1500 rpm nominally, a typical
maximum setting would be 1800 RPM.
Display Major Divider is where the
instrument widget writes an RPM
value, normally every 500 RPM.
Display Minor Divider is the tickmarks
between the major divider marks,
normally every 100 RPM.
Display Multiplier is the multiplier
value. The value is printed in the RPM
meter.
Overspeed
RPM Overspeed is the setpoint where
the DCU indicates overspeed.

pressure switch as an engine running
indication.
Note! Do not use any other pressure
sensors –or any other signals –as
engine running indication!
If two engine speed (pickup)
sources1are in use, then we
recommend leaving this off for
all switches, i.e. set to No.

If one engine speed source only
is in use, then locate the engine
low oil pressure switch and use
this as the Additional Run
signal. Set to Yes.
4-20mA
First, select one of the enabled 4-
20mA channels. Then, for each
selected channel, set the following.
HomeDCUI/O Configuration4-20mA
Channel Use
This selects the panel the instrument
widget is displayed on. It is possible to
display the instrument on
The DCU engine panel, and
The RP remote panel, or
A combination of the two.
It is also possible to suppress the
alarm events, as can be seen in the
following table overview.

D = Displayed on panel
E = Event
Event = warning, alarm or shutdown
Silent Event = no local event; on communication only
Note! Normally - and in most cases -
the selection should be “DCU + RP +
Event”, as bolded and outlined in the
table above. This makes sure the
channel is displayed in the DCU and in
the RP, if and when an RP is installed.
If for example a signal is necessary in
the DCU engine panel only, and not in
the RP remote panel, then select DCU
+ Event from the selection.
