PLUS+1® Controllers
MC050-120 and MC050-122
Mobile machine management
The MC050-120 and MC050-122 controllers are
elements of the flexible, powerful, expandable, and
affordable PLUS+1® family of mobile machine
management products. These devices are generalpurpose controllers that are equally suited for use as
members of a distributed machine control system,
with intelligence in every node, or as stand-alone
controllers.
Product highlights
The MC050-120 employs a 32 bit Cortex-M3
Processor, providing the controller with extremely
fast single cycle processing speed and 512K internal
flash. The MC050-122 has an application key that
enables the use of Danfoss developed GUIDE machine
control solutions. The same GUIDE HWD file is used
with both controllers.
Application development
Users develop MC050-120 and MC050-122
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.

24 inputs
•
(6) 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 Vdc
‒
Digital: pull up (5 Vdc), pull down (0 Vdc) or pull to center (2.5 Vdc)
‒
Frequency (timing): 1 Hz to 10 kHz
‒
•
(10) digital (DIN) configurable as pull up (5 Vdc), pull down (0 Vdc)
•
(4) 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)
‒
