DSEControl Engine Controllers

Engine control without an alternator: DSE's E-series modules start, protect and monitor engines in pump sets, off-highway machinery and auxiliary drives.

Engine and off-highway control

DSEControl is the engine-only side of the DSE range: modules that start, protect and monitor an engine that is not driving an alternator. The E-series covers simple engine-only control through to CAN-connected electronic engines, and the eView display puts engine data in front of the operator.

These modules are commonly specified where a generator controller would be over-specified. The engine needs protection, instrumentation and remote start, but there is no alternator to regulate, no mains to sense and no load transfer to manage.

Advantages of DSEControl Engine Controllers

Engine control sized to the machine: protection, instrumentation and remote start for an engine that is not driving an alternator, from a compact module for a pump set to a PLC-capable controller for off-highway equipment.

01

Engine functions only

Start, stop, speed and protection without the alternator regulation, mains sensing and load transfer a generator controller carries.

02

Mechanical and electronic engines

The DSEE400 and DSEE800 run either type, and the DSEE050 communicates over J1939 with current Tier 4 Final and Stage V engines.

03

Programmable where it matters

The integrated PLC editor on the DSEE400 and DSEE800 lets you build the operating mode the machine needs rather than adapting the machine to the controller.

Industries & Applications

DSEControl modules go where an engine drives something other than an alternator.

  • Pump sets: engine-driven pumps that start on demand and run to a schedule
  • Compressors and hydraulic power packs: engine-driven units where speed follows output demand
  • Off-highway and mobile machinery: auxiliary drives that need protection and instrumentation in front of the operator

DSEControl Engine Controller FAQ

Why use an engine-only controller instead of a generator controller?

Because there is no alternator to regulate, no mains to sense and no load to transfer. A pump set, compressor or hydraulic power pack needs start and stop control, engine protection and instrumentation, and the DSEControl modules give that without the generator functions you would pay for and not use.

Which module suits which job?

The DSEE100 covers manual and automatic start, load control and a built-in run-time scheduler for pumps and compressors. The DSEE400 adds speed and clutch control, raises and lowers engine speed as output demand changes, and has an integrated PLC editor so you can build operating modes specific to the machine. The DSEE800 has the PLC editor as well and adds expansion and communications options.

Do these modules work with electronic engines?

The DSEE400 and DSEE800 work with both electronic and mechanical diesel engines, and control an electronic engine's speed over J1939 TSC1 messages. The DSEE050 eView display supports J1939 electronic engines, including Tier 4 Final and Stage V engine parameters, and controls speed over TSC1 as well. Send us the engine make and model and we will confirm the fit.

What is the DSEE050 eView for?

It is a configurable colour display and controller for an electronic engine. You lay out your own screens, event sequences and a branded start-up screen in the DSE Configuration Suite, which is licence-free, and it fits an 82 mm panel cut-out.

How are DSEControl modules configured?

In the DSE Configuration Suite PC software, the same tool used across the DSE range. The DSEE100 and DSEE400 also keep an on-board event log for fault finding and preventative maintenance.

Can I retrofit a DSEControl module to an existing pump set?

Yes, if the engine has the senders the module expects and the panel has room for the cut-out (118 mm by 92 mm for the DSEE100, 220 mm by 160 mm for the DSEE800). Send us the engine plate details and a photo of the existing panel and we will tell you what else the retrofit needs.
