Overview of the 400
series
Available Modules
These are some of the main modules
available in the 400 series:
DCU 410/E Engine Control Unit
DCU 408 Engine Control Unit,
without user interface
SDU 404 Safety Unit
SDU 410 Safety Unit
RIO 410 I/O Expansion Unit
RIO 412 Exhaust Temperature
Unit
RP 410/E Remote Panel
The following is a brief explanation of
the different modules.
DCU 410E/408 Engine Control
Units
The DCU 410E and DCU 408 are
engine monitoring and control units.
One panel is required for each engine.
The DCU 410E has a color screen, and
buttons for user interaction.
The DCU 408 does not have screen or
buttons, and is intended for use with
remote panels.
Note! The DCU 410E and DCU 408 will
hereafter be referred to as the “DCU”
only. If functionality differs between
the two, this will be noted.
SDU 404/410 Safety Unit
The SDU 404/410 is the safety
module, and is linked to the DCU
engine control unit. It is mandatory in
classed installations that are to be
type approved.
When connected to the SDU link of a
DCU, the DCU will detect it
automatically.
RIO 410 I/O Expansion Unit
The RIO 410 is an I/O expansion unit,
and is linked to the DCU.
A maximum of four RIO units can be
connected to one DCU.
When connected to the RIO link of a
DCU, the DCU will detect it
automatically
RIO 412 Exhaust Temperature
Unit
The RIO 412 is an expansion unit with
20 thermocouple channels. The
operator can read individual cylinder
temperatures, as well as average
values.
When connected, the DCU detects it
automatically and adds a new page to
its configuration.

User’s Manual – 400E Series
Page 3
RP 410E Remote Panel
The RP 410E is the remote panel for
the DCU engine panels.
Numerous RP remote panels can be
connected together in the same
Ethernet network.
One RP 410E can be connected to a
maximum of eight DCU units.
When an RP 410E remote panel is
connected on the Ethernet link to one
or several DCU units, the RP can
update its configuration automatically.

User’s Manual – 400E Series

DCU 410E
Operation
Configurations
The behavior of the DCU 410E
depends heavily on its configuration.
For instance, the start/stop buttons
can be configured as latched, meaning
the DCU completes the start/stop
cycle once the button is pressed, or it
can be configured as hold-to, meaning
the operator must keep the button
pressed until the engine has started or
stopped.
The configuration of the DCU is not
part of this document.
Buttons
The DCU has ten buttons for the
following:
Engine Start
Engine Stop
Display/Hide Alarm List
Display/Hide Menu
Menu navigation with arrow
up/down
Four “softbuttons”with screen-
dependent functionality
Screen Layout
The screen is divided into three main
sections from the top and downwards
as follows:
Status bar
Top-most line on the screen, which is
reserved for engine state (left) and
status symbols (right).
The status bar flashes in the event of
an alarm.
Main screen area
This is where all instruments and
menu items are displayed.
Softbutton bar
Bottom-most line on the screen, which
is reserved for softbuttons.
These have varying functionality
depending on the current screen.

Engine Overspeed Test
In this mode, the engine can be tested
for overspeed by lowering the
overspeed setpoint to 90% of the
nominal (max) speed.
Activate
Make sure the engine is not
running. The Overspeed Test
mode cannot be entered on a
running engine.
Note that the overspeed
setpoint has been lowered by
observing the red are on the
RPM meter.
Start the engine and adjust rpm
until it crosses the red labeled
setpoint.
Observe engine shutdown.
Note! If the Overspeed Shutdown has
been disabled in the configuration,
then this test will NOT generate a
shutdown.
Deactivate
The Overspeed Test times out after 5
minutes, or when an actual overspeed
situation is observed.
The test can also be turned off by
selecting the menu item again.
Connect a PC
To connect to the DCU, an Ethernet
cable and a PC or laptop is necessary.
Connect the cable
Connect a standard CAT5 ethernet
cable between the laptop Ethernet port
and the DCU Ethernet port (COM 6).
Matching IP-address range
To connect a PC to the DCU, the IP-
address (IP number) of the PC or
laptop must be in the same ‘range’ as
the IP-address of the DCU.
Often, the IP-address in a laptop is not
available to change by the user due to
company policy.
Whenever the laptop is connected in a
network, it is given a new IP-address.
Normally, the laptop is given a new IP-
address whenever it connects to the
network at work. This scheme is called
dynamic IP-address.
This given IP-address may not match
that of the DCU though.
For this purpose, the DCU has an
inbuilt server component, which
resembles that of the company
network, and gives the laptop an IP-
address that matches the DCU.
On the top of this form is the DCU’s
current IP-address. The next lines
display a start- and end IP-address.
This is the range the DCU’s DHCP
server will scan.

User’s Manual – 400E Series
Page 13
Make sure the DCU IP-address is
outside the DHCP Start- and End IP-
address range, by setting the start IP
higher or the end IP lower than the
DCU IP-address.
For the example in the figure above, a
Start IP of 192.168.0.110 is OK, whilst
a Start IP of 192.168.0.105 is not.
When the range is fine, then press the
OK button. The DCU’s server will now
give a new IP-address to any laptop
connected to the DCU within the next
10 minutes (timeout period).
The laptop keeps the new IP-address
even after the 10 minute timeout,
which is fine.
Connect to the PC
When the above exercise is done,
connect to the DCU by typing the DCU
IP-address into the browser’s URL
field.
The above picture is representative for
a typical successful login.
Administration
This menu gives access to the next
level of menus, and is not discussed in
this manual.
A four digit pin-code is needed to
access the menu.
Interface Design
Up to four extra instrument screens
can be added by the user.
Note! The webserver can also be used
to add new user screens.
The screen layout
Each screen is built up as follows.
Each screen has a template .
There are multiple templates to
choose from, and each screen
can have a different template.
A template is divided into
rectangles called slots . A slot is
simply a placeholder for a
widget.
A Widget can be a circular dial,
a horizontal bargraph, a
numerical value, etc. To be
used, the widget must fit into
the slot.

User’s Manual – 400E Series
Page 14
Add a user screen
Press ‘Insert new’.
Use the up/down arrow buttons
to select a suitable template.
Press ‘OK’, then ‘Save’.
Now, press ‘Slot Design’ and
‘Edit View’.
Use the arrow up/dn buttons to
select a slot (indicated with a
bold rectangle around it).
Select ‘Pick Signal’. Pick a signal
from the list of configured
signals, for instance Engine
Speed.
Now, press arrow buttons
up/dn again to select another
slot, and repeat the process.
Press softbutton 4 when
finished.
Observe the new screen.
Press the arrow buttons to cycle
between screens.
Delete a user screen
First, select the menu item Interface
Design.
Using the arrow up/dn buttons, select
the screen to be deleted.
Press the Delete button to delete the
screen.

Log & Counters
The engine running hours are available
in this menu.
Events and service intervals are also
available.
Counters
The Counters page display engine
running hours.
Total
The total accumulated engine hours.
Depending on the configuration, the
value is calculated in the DCU, or read
from the ECM.
This counter value cannot be reset by
the operator.
Since Start
This counter starts at zero every time
the engine is started, and counts until
the engine is stopped.
This counter value cannot be reset by
the operator.
Since Reset
This counter accumulates every time
the engine is running.
Press the Reset button to clear the
Since Reset values.
Idle Hours
The idle hours counter counts
whenever the engine is running below
600 rpm.
Event Log
The DCU keeps a log of all events. The
log is about 500 events long, after
which the oldest event is lost.
Note! Using the web server, the entire
log can be downloaded.
An event is defined as any diagnostic,
warning alarm or engine shutdown
situation, but also certain user
interaction such as start- and stop
button.

User’s Manual – 400E Series
Page 16
Event Sorting
The events can be sorted as follows:
Oldest first
Most severe first
Least severe first
Count
Navigation
Use the up and down arrow to
