1.0. Introduction
This document details the in-built features, operating procedure requirements of the DGC101X
Series modules. This document is subject to changes without prior notice.
DGC101X series is designed on a common platform and provided variants for different level of
functionality and economics. This allows system designers greater flexibility in the choice of
controller to use for a specific application.
The DGC101X is an engine control / protection unit for engines used for non DG applications.
This module has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the engine manually. The
user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters on LCD display.
The DGC101X module monitors the engine, indicating the operational status. On detection of
faulty conditions, it automatically shutting down the engine. The LCD display indicates the fault
and warning. In critical operation, it is possible to disable or debar tripping of engine via an
external digital input.
The powerful microcontroller contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
Icon and Description based LCD display
USB Communications
Engine parameter monitoring.
Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
CAN bus for Engine ECU interface.
Isolated and Protected RS485 with Modbus
A robust plastic case designed for front panel mounting houses the module. Connections are via
locking plug and sockets connectors.
All parameters can be changed from the module’s front panel, USB or RS485 communication.
Access to Program/Modify the parameter, through front keys, is protected through a password.
