Continued Investments in Danfoss PLUS+1 Software Capabilities Aids Machine Design

April 7, 2025
Paola Lugo and Joe Mather of Danfoss discuss the continued evolution and benefits of the company’s PLUS+1 software platform to aid development of machine control systems.

Since it was first introduced in 2004, the Danfoss Power Solutions PLUS+1 platform has evolved into an ecosystem of hardware, software, services and tools to aid the development of control systems.

Features of the platform include:

  • PLUS+1 GUIDE, a platform that allows software engineers to quickly build and customize complete electrohydraulic subsystems and vehicle control solutions;
  • PLUS+1 Service Tool, a customizable service application that makes it easy for field technicians to update, service, and troubleshoot machines;
  • PLUS+1 programmable and compliant hardware to complement the software offerings, ensuring all Danfoss electronic and electrohydraulic products integrate seamlessly in the control system.

With these features, customers can accelerate their development cycles to help bring new products to market faster. Another benefit of the platform is its ease of use, which can also reduce development time for design teams.

“It’s easy to use because it has pre-programmed function blocks and application libraries that simplify implementation even for those who are not highly experienced software developers,” said Paola Lugo, Vice President, Software, Danfoss Power Solutions.
