Overview
PLUS+1® modules have input or output pins that support multiple functions. Pins that support multiple
input or output types are user-configurable using PLUS+1® GUIDE software. Refer to product data sheets
for the input/output (I/O) content of individual modules.
Input types
• Digital (DIN)
• Digital or Analog (DIN/AIN)
• Analog or Temperature or Rheostat (AIN/Temp/Rheo)
• Multifunction: Digital or Analog or Frequency (DIN/AIN/FreqIN)
• Multifunction: Digital or Analog or Frequency or Rheostat (DIN/AIN/FreqIN/Rheo)
• Fixed Range Analog or CAN shield (AIN/CAN shield)
• Digital or Analog or Current (DIN/AIN/4-20 mA IN)
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 is
reported. 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.

AIN offset
Module analog input offset error can be 80 counts out of 4096 (12 bit resolution). Therefore, the
minimum voltage that a module will read at the 0 to 5.25 VDC range is 105 mV. The minimum voltage that
a module will read at the 0 to 36 VDC range is 703 mV.
The input offset error is a function of component tolerances and can vary from one module to the next.
When an input value is used in an algorithm where the offset error could impact the control strategy, the
way the signal is acquired and the need to calibrate should be considered.
AIN/Temp/Rheo; DIN/AIN/FreqIN/Rheo
Analog/Temperature/Rheostat (AIN/Temp/Rheo); Digital/Analog/Frequency/Rheostat (DIN/AIN/FreqIN/
Rheo).
When a PLUS+1® module input pin is configured in the temperature/rheostat mode, the input has a 1.33
kΩ pull up resistor to +5 Vdc. It will source up to 3.75 mA current to an external load (RL) which then can
be measured. The equation for relating AD counts to a given load is: AD counts = (4096*RL) / (RL + 1330).
This calculation is solved internally and the ohms value is available for the programmer. The following
chart shows the relationship between AD counts and load resistance in ohms.

Potential for IX modules to not go online. If voltage is applied to an IX module input pin prior to the
module being powered on, there is a possibility that the module CPU will not power up. The module is
not damaged and will power up and operate normally once power is removed from the input pins. It is
recommended that either the IX module’s 5 Vdc sensor power be used to power sensors or that power is
removed from the input pins until the module is powered up.
If the frequency goes to zero, the data will not decay over time, it will be updated once a new pulse is
seen, or times out. It is possible to monitor the count of pulses to know when the frequency reading is
updated.

that transmit a 4 to 20 mA current signal, the positive lead of the transmitter is connected to battery
voltage and the negative lead is connected to the PLUS+1® module pin. The current measuring
configuration relies on the application program to provide over current protection.

W Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
DOUT and HDOUT digital outputs do not have an internal feedback to the PLUS+1® module kernel. To
protect against unintended movement, if the application requires fault detection, an external feedback
using an AIN configured pin must be used.
External feedback is required if the actual output is to be read by the PLUS+1® Service Tool.
All other output types have internal feedback to the PLUS+1® module kernel that provide pin fault and
status information that can be read directly by the application and the PLUS+1® Service Tool.
PWMOUT/DOUT/PVGOUT
All 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 two
modes of PWM operation: open loop and closed loop (current control).
In open loop mode, current can be sourced or sunk (all modules are limited to 8 amps sinking), 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. 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 no
thermal 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.
Refer to individual module data sheets for the maximum allowable output current for each PLUS+1®
module.

HPWMOUT/DOUT
High Current Pulse Width Modulated (HPWMOUT/DOUT).
High current proportional outputs are unique to the MCO38-010 controller. These outputs are PWM, with
PWM frequency user-configurable using PLUS+1® GUIDE.
The MC038-010 has two types of high current PWM outputs:
• Paired bi-directional PWMs (10 A) that can be configured as either H bridges or independent outputs.
• Sourcing only PWMs (one 10 A and six 6 A).
See the product data sheet and API documents for pair assignments.
All high current proportional outputs are operated as open loop. The controller kernel does, however,
monitor current for circuit protection, but there is no current feedback to the application. The output is a
constant voltage and not a constant current. PWM outputs are hardware protected from short or over
current.

The CAN transceiver will be damaged by any voltage outside of allowable range, (-7 to +36 Vdc), even
with 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 cable
shield.
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 is
associated 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

To prevent unexpected memory writes, care must be taken to ensure memory with a high number of
read/write cycles is either U32 or S32 data types.
Write/erase cycles
Description Minimum Maximum Comment
EEPROM write/erase cycles 1 million Minimum valid over entire operating temperature
range.
EEPROM used in MC050-055/05B controllers is rated for 1 million read/write cycles per sector. Sector size
is 32 bits. When a value is written to EEPROM, all 32 bits in a particular sector are always written,
regardless of the size of the size of the saved value. If the value being saved in a sector is less than 32 bits
(such as U8, S16, BOOL) adjacent bits in the same EEPROM sector are rewritten with their previous value.
The implication of this memory property is that if two values are being written to the same memory
sector, the useful life of the sector is determined by the value being written most frequently. If that value
exceeds 1 million 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 time
stamped.
Accessing non-volatile or application log memory can delay the service tool scan.
FRAM memory
Write/erase cycles
Description Minimum Maximum Comment
FRAM write/erase cycles 100 trillion Minimum valid over entire operating
temperature range.
FRAM used in the MC050-055/05B 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 of the 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 this memory property is that if two values are being written to the same memory sector,
the useful life of the sector 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.

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 wire
of appropriate size connected to the machine battery is recommended.
Hot plugging
Machine power should be off when connecting PLUS+1® modules to mating connectors.
W Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
Improperly protected power input lines against over current conditions may cause damage to the
hardware. Properly protect all power input lines against over-current conditions. To protect against
unintended movement, secure the machine.
C Caution
Unused pins on mating connectors may cause intermittent product performance or premature failure.
Plug all pins on mating connectors.
• 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 be
considered 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 other
noise-sensitive input wires.
• Run wires along the inside of, or close to, metal machine surfaces where possible, this simulates a
shield which will minimize the effects of EMI/RFI radiation.
• Do not run wires near sharp metal corners, consider running wires through a grommet when
rounding 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 the
battery (-).
• Power the sensors and valve drive circuits by their dedicated wired power sources and ground
returns.
• 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.
W Warning
High 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.
