Danfoss MCW100A, MCW100 B Installation guide
MCW100A, B
Time Proportional
Rotary Position Controller
BLN-95-8966-4 Issued: March 1992
DESCRIPTION
The MCW100 Time Proportional Rotary Position Controller provides automatic grade or steering control of paving, trenching and curbing machines by
switching an on/off solenoid valve. The Controller uses a wand follower to
sense the grade level or steering command from a stringline or surface.
Two modules are housed in the case of the Controller. The grade sensing
module electromagnetically measures the deviation between the true grade
of the machine through the follower. The amplifier module receives the signal
from the sensor module and produces a voltage output to drive solenoid
valves which, on a typical paving machine, operate lift cylinders. Within the
amplifier’s proportional band, the percent of time the output is on is proportional to the grade error.
The MCW100A and B are the same with three exceptions: First, the “A” unit
is switched on the hot side while the “B” unit is switched on the ground side.
Second the “A” has an internal grade/slope switch that the “B” does not have.
Third, on the “A” model the deadband adjustment is a multiple turn trim
potentiometer and on the “B” model it is a single turn trim potentiometer.
FEATURES
• May be mounted on either side of machine
• Adjustable tracking force
• Rugged aluminum housing
• Adjustable deadband varies sensitivity
• RUN/STANDBY switch permits operator to switch to
manual control
