General description
This guide provides general information on how to operate the InteliDrive controller. More detailed
information is available in the User guides for ID-DCU Marine or ID-DCU Industrial.
InteliDrive ID-DCU Industrial and ID-DCU Marine engine controllers controls, monitors and protects the
engine in single or variable speed operational modes (ID-DCU-Industrial) and propeller, emergency, auxiliary
and harbor modes (ID-DCU-Marine). The controllers can communicate with Engine Management System via
the CAN serial line using standard J1939 or another (KWP2000) communication protocol.
InteliDrive controllers are equipped with a powerful graphic display with icons, symbols and bar-graphs and
panel buttons for intuitive operation.
InteliDrive ID-DCU-Marine central unit together with ID-RPU provides redundant engine control. Switches
itself to the backup mode in the case of controller failure, protects engine using its own Shut down and
Emergency stop inputs and Fuel, Stop outputs. Monitors power supply, switches to the secondary power and
measures also the secondary RPM.
