PLUS+1® electronic controls responsibility
The manufacturer of a machine or vehicle using PLUS+1® electronic controls is responsible for correctly applying and programming GUIDE-programmable PLUS+1® products. Danfoss strongly recommends that the OEM perform a system-level Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA).
You can find additional information about OEM responsibilities in the:

Hitch positioning control concepts
The purpose of the hitch control system is to allow the operator to position the hitch linkage either in a work or transport position. Set points for transport and work are adjustable parameters. A closed loop position control compares the set-point to the actual input from the position sensor. If there is a difference, it controls the valve to lower or raise the linkage.
The goal of an automated hitch control system is to:
