PLUS+1® Controllers
MC050-155 and MC050-15B
Mobile machine management
The MC050-155 and MC050-15B 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
Both controllers employ a 32 bit Cortex-M3 Processor,
providing the controllers with extremely fast single
cycle processing speed and 512K internal flash. Both
controllers feature three CAN ports, one 1.66 and one
3.3 or 5 volt regulated sensor supply. The MC050-15B
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 MC050-155 and MC050-15B
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.

36 inputs
•
4 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
‒
•
29 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 Vdc
‒
•
3 fixed range analog (AIN/CAN shield) 0 to 5.25 Vdc or CAN shield pin
3 outputs
•
2 universal (PWMOUT/DOUT/PVGOUT) that are user-defined as either:
Digital: (3 A), configurable as source or sink
‒
PWM: (30 to 4000 Hz), configurable as open or closed loop with current control
