Application Software for Microcontrollers

Application Software

Most PLUS+1™ application software allows customer tailoring of applications to specific vehicle or control system requirements, using the Sauer-Danfoss PLUS+1 GUIDE development environment. If the software is one of the GUIDE user-programmable Subsystem Applications, it can be downloaded and used as the starting point for finishing complete, custom applications that include input mapping, calibration, fault handling, output mapping, and connection to HMI devices and microcontroller outputs. The PLUS+1 Service Tool is used to download finished applications to target Application Hardware microcontrollers. Some software is configurable only through the PLUS+1 Service Tool (such as the SIL certified H1 Automotive Control). Here, component selections can be made and parameters adjusted, to tailor the control system to vehicle requirements, through the service tool. 

Application Hardware

Application software products from Sauer-Danfoss are "keyed", allowing downloading to PLUS+1 "Application Hardware" microcontrollers. A wide range of keyed PLUS+1 application hardware products are available, including 12 pin, 24 pin, 50 pin, and 88 pin microcontroller models. When an application hardware key matches the application software key, the PLUS+1 Service Tool permits the download to the target application hardware. Sauer-Danfoss application software cannot be downloaded to non-keyed (standard) hardware.

Application File

Application software, user manuals and other documents are included in an Application file. After downloading an Application File to your hard drive, you can install the software files in the My Blocks tab of the GUIDE component selector menu, for easy access during development. Software user manuals and other technical information documents from the Application file may be stored in any convenient folder on your hard drive. System Description and Release Notes are included in the Application File as well as available as separate downloads.
