Taking mobile machine control
to the next level
The OEM design environment continues to become morechallenging, every day, every year. Vehicle design teams are
expected to accomplish more with fewer resources, while
meeting the demands of tighter emission and safety regulations.
Danfoss has a powerful, proven solution for today’s challenges:
PLUS+1®, a complete development environment for machine
control solutions. With the combined powers of PLUS+1technology, the PLUS+1 GUIDE software platform, and a growing
portfolio of PLUS+1 Compliant products, you are able to repidly
develop and customize electronic machine control. PLUS+1
provides a new level of freedom for design engineers, all while
reducing coding time and testing.

The PLUS+1® advantage: bring better machines
to market fasterWith the PLUS+1 platform, you can quickly build customized
applications from the Danfoss library of software control
components, and reduce the cost and development timenormally associated with programming.
PLUS+1’s modular design of hardware and software allows
developers to effectively construct a solution that easily scales tothe machine’s control requirements. Developers use this flexibility
to add value and machine differentiating features at the level ofcomplexity that fits the design challenge.

45 years of experience at your disposal
The PLUS+1® Control Platform offers more than just than today’s
cutting edge technology for mobile machine control – with
PLUS+1 comes decades of collective vehicle application
experience. Our proud history is firmly rooted in hydraulics andfluid power, coupled with vast and ever-evolving know-how inelectronics, steering components, and spool valves. Danfoss
brings all of this knowledge into PLUS+1.

Your strongest partner in machine control design
At Danfoss, our whole team supports your machine: fromsoftware engineers to system specialists and vehicle application
experts. Taking a truly integrated systems approach has helped
Danfoss become known for exceptionally strong customer andsystem support around the globe.
We make it our business to have an in-depth understanding ofsystem functionality, application requirements, and market
demands in different parts of the world. We want to know yourmachinery needs and to serve them better than anyone else.

OEMs can use this world-class operational core and knowledge asa foundation for their next generation of mobile off-highwayvehicles. Even better, users can build on this foundation with theirown creativity to further differentiate vehicle systems.

The PLUS+1® family of
microcontrollers
Danfoss’ broad portfolio of PLUS+1® microcontrollers are the‘central command’ of any PLUS+1 system, and they are developedwith your need for robustness and flexibility in mind. Our
PLUS+1 microcontrollers offer many software-configurable
hardware features making it easy to match the input and output
requirements of your application. Some modules even include
high-output current capabilities for other electrical systemelements, such as lighting, small DC electric motors, and highcurrent solenoids.

Our powerful PLUS+1 microcontrollers are equally suited to bring
intelligence to every node of a distributed control system, or act
as a stand alone control solution for applications that are smallerin scope. And thanks to their rugged design, they’ll withstandthe toughest conditions your vehicle can encounter. PLUS+1controllers combine state-of-the-art electronics and robust
packaging to ensure your solution delivers high performance withreliability you can trust.

Features & benefits:• High-speed DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to process even the most complex applications• Stackable microcontrollers for high mounting flexibility• CAN-based communications for state-of-the-art control performance• 8 I/O configurations (14 include I/O modules) for multiple control options – the building blocks for almost every functionMore information

GUIDE – Graphical User Integrated
Development Environment
Time-to-market is crucial in the mobile
machinery industry, and PLUS+1® GUIDE
provides a powerful, proven software
framework to quickly build – andcustomize – complete electrohydraulicsub-system and vehicle control solutions.
With GUIDE, you can easily and efficiently
integrate control, work and propel
functions for superior mobile machinery
control.
GUIDE provides a graphical-based
approach to programming PLUS+1
devices. Its drag-and-drop platform
reduces the cost and development timenormally associated with programming.
GUIDE also includes system diagnostic
tools, downloading utilities andcustomizable service interfaces. WithGUIDE, you’ll have the power to create
well differentiated, custom solutions tohelp you bring better machines tomarket faster.

Maximize machine performanceIt’s your choice. With GUIDE, you canchoose the appropriate level of software
based on the functionality anddevelopment complexity you desire.
GUIDE is an ever-expanding set ofbuilding blocks that allows you to choose
everything from basic components tooperation-ready solutions. All of these areexpertly designed to help you maximize
machine performance.
Using GUIDE, control system developers
draw from a hierarchy of pre-tested
software blocks or modules that can bereliably integrated at all levels. Once you
select an application block, it can be
immediately compiled and downloaded
to the controller – if it’s a perfect fit tovehicle requirements. Or, it can be
tailored to specific vehicle requirementsby reprogramming within the GUIDEenvironment.
