PLUS+1® Controllers
MC038-010 and MC038-012
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 controller with extremely fast
single cycle processing speed and 128K internal flash.
Application development
The MC038-012 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.
Users develop MC038-010 and MC038-012
applications with PLUS+1® GUIDE. This Microsoft
Windows based development environment features a
user-friendly, field proven, icon-based graphical
programming tool, application downloader, and
service/diagnostic tool.

15 Inputs
•
(3 universal (DIN/AIN/FreqIN) that are user-defined as either:
Analog: with configurable ranges 0 to 5.25 VDC (with over range protection) or 0 to 36 V
‒
Digital: pull up (5 VDC), pull down (0 VDC) or pull to center (2.5 VDC)
‒
Frequency (timing): 1 Hz to 10 kHz
‒
•
(2) digital (DIN) configurable as pull up (5 VDC), pull down (0 VDC)
•
(9) digital/analog (DIN/AIN) that are user-defined as either:
Digital: pull up (5 VDC), pull down (0 VDC) or pull to center (2.5 VDC)
‒
Analog: 0 to 5.25 VDC or 0 to 36 V
‒
•
(1) fixed range analog (AIN/CAN shield)0 to 5.25 VDC or CAN shield pin
13 Outputs
•
(2) DOUT (2 A) configurable as source only
•
(3) HDOUT (6 A) configurable as source only
•
(3) HPWMOUT/DOUT (6 A), configurable as source only
•
(4) HPWMOUT/DOUT (10 A) configurable as source only, can be used as bi-directional pairs, (see Dimensions and Pin Assignments,
back page for pair assignments)
•
(1) HPWMOUT/DOUT (10A) configurable as source only
•
Outputs are powered by three independent power supply pins (see Dimensions and Pin Assignments, back page for output pin
power supply assignments and maximum allowable current per power supply pin)
•
All PWM outputs operate as open loop. The output is a constant voltage.
