Taking mobile machine control
to the next level

The OEM design environment continues to become more

challenging, 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 todays challenges:

PLUS+1, a complete development environment for machine
control solutions. With the combined powers of PLUS+1
technology, 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 faster
With the PLUS+1 platform, you can quickly build customized
applications from the Danfoss library of software control
components, and reduce the cost and development time
normally associated with programming.

PLUS+1s modular design of hardware and software allows

developers to effectively construct a solution that easily scales to
the machines control requirements. Developers use this flexibility
to add value and machine differentiating features at the level of
complexity that fits the design challenge.
45 years of experience at your disposal OEMs can use this world-class operational core and knowledge as
The PLUS+1 Control Platform offers more than just than todays a foundation for their next generation of mobile off-highway
