Danfoss, a leading global manufacturer of electronic controls, components, compressors, heat exchangers and variable-speed drives for air conditioning and refrigeration, introduces the MCX programmable controller. The MCX controller provides ultimate software control for a wide range of Industrial and HVAC/R applications.
The open standards compliant MCX controller family adds a new level of flexibility and control to application designers, allowing them to adapt electronics to the application and not vice versa. As a result, system performance can be tailored to exact requirements.
“The MCX unit offers a wide range of communication options based on open standards,” said Henrik Christensen, senior director and general manager of Danfoss Electronics, US. “The unit’s easy integration with building management systems is further enhanced by a wide range of control modules and accessory modules that ensure a cost effective, customized solution.”
The easy-to-program unit uses a ‘C’ like programming language, providing unique versatility and freedom compared to proprietary systems and with the standard software libraries provided, the designers can focus on the application, their intellectual properties and time to market. In addition, the unit features a high-end design with a flexible graphical display.
MCX units are delivered with a low-level operating system that includes hardware drives, services and a virtual machine. Connections to peripheral equipment take place via open standard protocols that enable easy integration with electromechanical components and building management systems.
