PLUS+1® Controllers
MC012-026 and MC012-029
Mobile machine management
Danfoss PLUS+1® controllers are elements of the
flexible, powerful, expandable, and affordable family
of mobile machine management products. These
devices are general-purpose controllers that are
equally suited for use as a member of a distributed
machine control system, with intelligence in every
node, or as a stand-alone controller.
Product highlights
Both controllers employ a Digital Signal Processor
(DSP) providing the controllers with extremely fast
single cycle processing speed and 128K internal flash.
Both controllers feature multifunction input pins that
are capable of receiving inputs from RTD temperature
sensors. The MC012-026 and MC012-029 have a
maximum operating temperature of 105° C (221° F).
Application development
The MC012-029 employs an application key that
enables the use of Danfoss developed PLUS+1
GUIDE machine control solutions. The same PLUS+1
GUIDE HWD file is used with both controllers.
