tDrive DCU is a high-performance engine controller for electronic or mechanical engines, designed for critical applications requiring maximum reliability, advanced protection, and precise control.

It features a 4.3” color display readable in full sunlight, remote speed control with bump function, configurable ramp profiles, and closed-loop operation using analog sensors. It also includes automatic start, programmable timers, customizable alarms, weekly scheduling, and event memory.

Ideal for Oil & Gas, Marine, and Power Generation industries, tDrive DCU can replace equivalent controllers from other brands without redesigning the system.
