PLUS+1® Controllers
MC090-010 and MC090-012
Mobile Machine Management
This product is designed as flexible, expandable,
powerful, cost effective stand-alone modules for
smaller machined systems or as total machine
management systems with intelligence in every node.
These modules communicate with one another and
other intelligent systems over a machine Controller
Area Network (CAN data bus).
Product Highlights
The MC090 controller employs a Digital Signal
Processor (DSP), providing the controller with
extremely fast single-cycle processing speed and 1.3
MB flash.
The MC090-012 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
PLUS+1® hardware modules have input or output
pins that support multiple functions. Pins that
support multiple input or output types are userconfigurable using PLUS+1® GUIDE software. This
Microsoft® Windows® based development
environment features a user-friendly, field proven,
icon-based graphical programming tool, application
downloader, and service/diagnostic tool.
