Littelfuse M2000.0120 - Engine Controller 120. The M2000 Engine Controller will control and protect any industrial combustion engine, which accepts discreet I/O signals for control of the crank, the fuel valve and the stop solonoid (if applicable). The engine must be able to supply potential free contacts for starter disengagement and over speed alarm (normally done through a standard tacho relay). The M2000 is typically used as an engine controller for diesel or gas driven generator sets. The operator can start the engine either by pressing a button on the front facia, or by providing and external start signal through a potential free contact (e.g. a relay). The M2000 can be configured to perform multiple start attempts. The M2000 detects a successful start from the crank disconnect signal provided by the tacho relay (normally at 33percent of nominal speed). The M2000 will operate the fuel valve as well as a start warning signal shortly before cranking the engine. The progress of the start sequence is clearly indicated on the front facia LEDs.

M2500 Engine Cont 12-24VDC IP54 at front. The M2500 has been designed to meet the strictest requirements for marine, the M2500 is also the premiere choice for engines in land applications. Few engine controllers provide as intuitive a user interface as the M2500. The M2500 provides all necessary inputs and outputs on-board, which means that no auxiliary I/O modules are required. Given the fact the M2500 supports both discrete sensors (potential free contacts or 4-20 mA sensors) and SAE CAN J1939, the M2500 works just as well with new as well as older engines. RS485 MODBUS RTU is provided for communication with SCADA or HMI systems. The unit allows manual (local) and remote (automatic) start of the engine and will monitor all relevant engine parameters – either through discrete sensors or through SAE CAN J1939. 9 digital and 8 analogue inputs (with cable monitoring) are provided on-board for detection of alarms and/or shut down conditions. A total of 90 alarms can be configured. Each alarm can be configured for either monitoring or engine shut down. 12 programmable output relays are available. The relay outputs can be configured for common warning, alarm or shut down. Additionally there are pre-defined outputs for common alarms, shut downs and status indication. Everything is provided on-board in a single flush mounted panel. There is no need for auxiliary I/O boards etc.
