Description
The AUTO-MASKIN DCU 305 A R2 Engine Control System Controller is a marine diesel engine monitoring and control unit designed for auxiliary engines, emergency generator sets, and marine propulsion applications. It is part of the Auto-Maskin 300 Series engine control platform and provides engine protection, monitoring, alarm handling, and control functions.
The DCU 305 A R2 works together with the RK-66 interface module to handle engine signals including switch inputs, analog inputs, relay outputs, and speed sensing. The controller can be configured through Auto-Maskin Rudolf configuration software and supports integration with vessel alarm systems through communication interfaces such as Modbus RTU.
This controller has been widely applied in marine vessels and generator systems since the 300 Series introduction, serving as a reliable spare replacement component for existing installations. The DCU 305 A R2 is a legacy controller model, while newer DCU 305 R3 units are available as replacement solutions for some variants.
