Technical Information
PLUS+1® MC0XX-1XX Controller Family
Overview
MC0XX-1XX Controllers Family
PLUS+1® Mobile Machine Modules are designed to provide flexible, expandable, powerful and costeffective total machine management systems for a wide variety of vehicle applications.
These modules communicate with one another and other intelligent systems over a machine Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
PLUS+1® controller products utilize modular designs wherever possible. This modularity extends to
product housings, connectors and control circuitry.
PLUS+1® hardware products are designed to be equally effective in a distributed CAN system, withintelligence in every node, or as stand-alone control for smaller machine systems.
PLUS+1® Compliant systems are incrementally expandable: additional modules can be easily added tothe machine CAN bus to increase system capabilities or computational power.
Three standard housings, 12, 24, and 50 pin, cover this product line.

Each PLUS+1® module input pin supports one of the above functional types. For pins with multiple
functions, input configurations are user programmable using PLUS+1® GUIDE templates.
DIN
Digital inputs (DIN) connected to PLUS+1® dedicated digital input pins are debounced in software. Digital
input debounce is defined as an input being in a given state for three samples before a state change isreported. The sample time is a function of application loop time.
Multifunction pins that are configured to be Digital input (DIN) are subject to the same update rates as
the Analog input (AIN) function for that pin. Debounce is not used, as hysteresis is built into the function.
The time to recognize a transition is dependent on the timing of the switch activation and the sample
rate.

L (mH)PWMOUT/DOUT/PVGOUTAll PLUS+1® module proportional outputs are Pulse Width Modulated (PWM). PWM frequency is software
adjustable using PLUS+1® GUIDE. A low frequency dither may also be added with software to some
outputs (see individual module API specifications for PWM outputs that support dither). There are twomodes of PWM operation: open loop and closed loop (current control).
In open loop mode, current can be sourced or sunk, but the output is a PWM duty cycle. Current feedback
may be monitored in open loop mode, but the output is a constant voltage, not a constant current. The
signal line of PVG valves can be driven with an open loop PWM. The PWM driving the control signal must
be set to 0 at the same time as the digital output driving the PVE power pin is set to 0.

Technical Information
PLUS+1® MC0XX-1XX Controller Family
CAN
In open loop mode, current can be sourced or sunk (all modules are limited to 8 amps sinking), but theoutput is a PWM duty cycle. Current feedback may be monitored in open loop mode, but the output is aconstant voltage, not a constant current. PVG valves may be driven with open loop PWM.
In closed loop mode, current is sourced and a constant current is maintained by the module’s operating
system using internal current feedback. Load impedance must not exceed 65 ohms.
In closed loop mode, the maximum current is limited by measuring the feedback current. There is nothermal protection. If the maximum current is exceeded, the controller kernel will shut down the output
and latch it. The kernel also limits how quickly the output can be repowered (250 ms). The output cannot
be reset until the command goes to 0 or False (if configured as a digital output).
Proportional outputs that are used as a digital sinking output have a potential for a leakage current of up
to 5 mA when off.

Notes on CAN Bus installation
Total bus impedance should be 60 Ω.
The CAN transceiver will be damaged by any voltage outside of allowable range, (-27 to +36 Vdc), evenwith a very short pulse.
If using shielded cable, the shield must be grounded to the machine ground at one point only; preferably
at the mid-point of the CAN bus. Each PLUS+1® module CAN shield pin must be connected to the cableshield.

Expansion module CAN Bus loading
System designers incorporating PLUS+1® expansion modules in their applications should be aware of
PLUS+1® CAN bus loading and controller memory usage during system design. Each expansion module isassociated with a PLUS+1® controller and uses part of the controller's memory resources for inter-module
communications. The following table can be used to estimate system CAN bus loading and the memory
impact of I/O modules on their associated controller.

Non-volatile memory read/write ratings
FRAM memory
Write/erase cycles
Description

Minimum

FRAM write/erase cycles

100 trillion

Maximum

Comment
Minimum valid over entire operating
temperature range.

FRAM used in the MC0XX-1XX controller, is rated for 100 trillion read/write cycles per sector. Sector size is
32 bits. When a value is written to FRAM, all 32 bits in a particular sector are always written, regardless ofthe size of the saved value. If the value being saved in a sector is less than 32 bits (such as. U8, S16, BOOL,etc) adjacent bits in the same FRAM sector are rewritten with their previous value. The implication of thismemory property is that if two values are being written to the same memory sector, the useful life of thesector is determined by the value being written most frequently. If that value exceeds 100 trillion read/
write cycles, all values in the sector may be compromised if the useful life is exceeded.
Vault memory
Some variants of PLUS+1® modules have 2 Mbyte of serial flash vault memory (also referred to as
application logging memory).
Application developers can use this memory to log machine event data and use the PLUS+1® Service Tool
to extract the logged data. As there is no real time clock on PLUS+1® modules, vault memory is not timestamped.
Accessing non-volatile or application log memory can delay the service tool scan.

Product installation and start-up
If the module is side or stack mounted, provide a drip loop in the harness. If the module is mounted
vertically, the connector should be on the bottom of the module.
Provide strain relief for mating connector wires.

C Caution
Module damage may occur.
Use caution when installing modules. Due to the size of the mating connector wire bundle, it is possible
to twist off the end cap of the module if excessive pressure is applied during the installation of harness
strain relief.
Fasteners
Recommended outer diameter (OD)

Recommended torque6.0 mm (0.25 in)

Machine diagnostic connector
It is recommended that a diagnostic connector be installed on machines that are controlled by PLUS+1®
modules. The connector should be located in the operator's cabin or in the area where machine
operations are controlled and should be easily accessible.
Communication (software uploads and downloads and service and diagnostic tool interaction) between
PLUS+1® modules and personal computers is accomplished over the vehicle CAN network. The diagnostic
connector should tee into the vehicle CAN bus and have the following elements:• CAN +• CAN • CAN shield

Grounding
Proper operation of any electronic control system requires that all control modules including displays,
microcontrollers and expansion modules be connected to a common ground. A dedicated ground wireof appropriate size connected to the machine battery is recommended.
Hot plugging
Machine power should be off when connecting MC0XX-1XX modules to mating connectors.
Machine wiring guidelines

•
•
© Danfoss | August 2022

Protect wires from mechanical abuse, run wires in flexible metal or plastic conduits.
Use 85˚ C (185˚ F) wire with abrasion resistant insulation and 105˚ C (221˚ F) wire should beconsidered near hot surfaces.
Use a wire size that is appropriate for the module connector.
Separate high current wires such as solenoids, lights, alternators or fuel pumps from sensor and othernoise-sensitive input wires.
Run wires along the inside of, or close to, metal machine surfaces where possible, this simulates ashield which will minimize the effects of EMI/RFI radiation.
Do not run wires near sharp metal corners, consider running wires through a grommet whenrounding a corner.
Do not run wires near hot machine members.
Provide strain relief for all wires.
Avoid running wires near moving or vibrating components.

Avoid long, unsupported wire spans.
Ground electronic modules to a dedicated conductor of sufficient size that is connected to thebattery (-).
Power the sensors and valve drive circuits by their dedicated wired power sources and groundreturns.
Twist sensor lines about one turn every 10 cm (4 in).
Use wire harness anchors that will allow wires to float with respect to the machine rather than rigid
anchors.

Machine welding guidelines

W WarningHigh voltage from power and signal cables may cause fire or electrical shock, and cause an explosion if
flammable gasses or chemicals are present.
Disconnect all power and signal cables connected to the electronic component before performing any
electrical welding on a machine.
The following is recommended when welding on a machine equipped with electronic components:• Turn the engine off.
• Remove electronic components from the machine before any arc welding.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.
• Do not use electrical components to ground the welder.
• Clamp the ground cable for the welder to the component that will be welded as close as possible to
the weld.

PLUS+1® USB/CAN Gateway
Communication (software uploads and downloads and service and diagnostic tool interaction) between
PLUS+1® modules and a personal computer (PC) is accomplished using the vehicle's PLUS+1® CAN
network.
The PLUS+1® CG150-2 USB/CAN gateway provides the communication interface between a PC USB port
and the vehicle CAN bus. When connected to a PC, the gateway acts as a USB slave. In this configuration,
all required electrical power is supplied by the upstream PC host. No other power source is required.
Refer to the PLUS+1® GUIDE Software User Manual, AQ152886483724, for gateway set-up information.
