AGC 150 Engine Drive – Advanced Engine Control for OEMs & System Designers

The AGC 150 Engine Drive is a versatile and intelligent engine controller developed to meet the evolving needs of OEMs and system designers who require simple, flexible, and reliable engine control solutions. Designed with a built-in application for engine protection and load management, the AGC 150 Engine Drive ensures optimized performance across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and utility-based applications.

Engine Protection & Application Flexibility

One of the standout features of the AGC 150 Engine Drive is its ability to protect engines from overload while offering various start and stop sequences. Whether you need a basic start/stop function, a pump function with manual RPM control, or automatic regulation via flow or pressure control, this controller adapts seamlessly. It also meets the stringent Stage V emission requirements, making it compliant with the latest environmental standards.

Configurable Inputs, Outputs & Connectivity

Flexibility is central to the AGC 150 Engine Drive. With a wide selection of configurable inputs and outputs, engineers can tailor the controller to specific operational needs. The inclusion of dual CANbus ports allows for connection to an additional operator panel, while the Ethernet port supports Modbus communication or unit configuration using DEIF’s free PC tool utility software.

This makes the AGC 150 not only easy to integrate but also scalable for both small and complex projects. From remote monitoring to advanced customization, system designers benefit from enhanced connectivity and adaptability.

User-Friendly Interface & IP65 Certification

Ease of use is another strong advantage. The front-mounted controller is IP65 certified, ensuring durability and protection in demanding environments. Operators can rely on a graphical display unit available in 11 languages, which simplifies setup, monitoring, and operation. Whether deployed in harsh industrial environments or compact enclosures, the AGC 150 delivers robust performance with minimal downtime.
