The CAN-based controllers are a rugged and powerful programmable controller suitable for mobile and hydraulic applications due to their design architecture.
Similar to a PLC in their capabilities but vastly different in their size, design and appearance. They can be mounted in harsh and hot environments; they’re fully sealed, utilising automotive/mobile industry standard DEUTESCH connector technologies, making the controllers perfect to installation in enclosures, engine bays, operator compartments and machine rooms.
Capable of pump, motor, valve, servo and logic control with Danfoss’ own PLUS+1 GUIDE programming language or any of the IEC 61131-3 Standard Protocol languages, programming and communication via CAN bus network is simple for the system integrator all the way to the end user via the PLUS+1® Service Tool.
As the name stipulates micro controller, this is the smallest controller in the product range but has all the programming power and functionality of the larger controllers.
The MC product range is the most commonly used globally and is the foundations for the majority of our hydraulic applications.
Complementary to the entire range, the use of input and output modules expands the capacity of the main controller so that additional devices and be controlled.
Depending on the design of the system, it can sometimes be more cost efficient to use a smaller main controller and addition Input & Output Modules to reach the desired I/O pin count.
The Safety Controller range has similar functionality as the MC range although has been certified as Safety Integrity Level 2, means it is suitable for use in critical applications up to and including Safety Integrity Level 2, the use of a certified devices means design and implement of safety system is simpler, It can reduce cost over the long term and provides an important measure of quality and reliability.
The High Current range is aimed at OEMs and applications requiring the control of motors, pumps and any high power devices, the benefits of the controller is additional standalone hardware does not need to be used when selected as the HC range is capable of the logic and direct control if the device.
With only one model in this range, the XL controller is as the name implies, the XL controller has the highest pin-count in the PLUS+1 controller families and can eliminate the need for expansion modules, supporting stream lined design and reduced component footprint.
