Description
The M2500 is designed for control and monitoring of engines
in marine applications such as auxiliary generators, emergency
generators and propulsion engines. The unit allows manual
(local) and remote (automatic) start of the engine and will
monitor all engine parameters.
Engine parameters can be monitored via digital and analog
sensor inputs. Cable monitoring is available on all sensor
inputs. Twelve programmable output relays are available for
configuration of common warnings, alarms or shutdowns.
Additionally there are pre-defined outputs for common alarms,
shutdowns and status indications. The LED display provides
an easy overview on the engine status. The front label next to
the LEDs is an exchangeable paper label, thus the text can be
in any language. A large graphical display provides indication of
measurements, alarms, shutdowns and an event log.
Communication with the engine ECU is possible via SAE CAN
J1939. RS485 MODBUS is available for communication with
external equipment such as alarm systems or PLCs. Easy and
user friendly configuration of the unit by the front panel or
remotely by PC/ USB interface. The configuration is pin code
protected. The unit includes an SD card slot for downloading
or uploading the configuration via an SD card. A copy of the
engine log is automatically saved on the SD card. The M2500
unit carries the CE label and has been approved by the major
marine classification societies. Together with the optional
M2600 Shutdown Unit, M2500 can form a complete engine
control, alarm and safety system.
