Danfoss MCW100A Time Proportional Rotary Position Controller User Guide

DESCRIPTION

The MCW100 Time Proportional Rotary Position Controller provides automatic grade or steering control of paving, trenching and curbing machines by
switching an on/off solenoid valve. The Controller uses a wand follower to sense the grade level or steering command from a stringline or surface. Two modules are housed in the case of the Controller. The grade sensing module electromagnetically measures the deviation between the true grade of the machine through the follower. The amplifier module receives the signal from the sensor module and produces a voltage output to drive solenoid valves which, on a typical paving machine, operate lift cylinders. Within the
amplifier’s proportional band, the percent of time the output is on is proportional to the grade error.
The MCW100A and B are the same with three exceptions: First, the “A” unit is switched on the hot side while the “B” unit is switched on the ground side.
Second the “A” has an internal grade/slope switch that the “B” does not have.
Third, on the “A” model the deadband adjustment is a multiple turn trim potentiometer and on the “B” model it is a single turn trim potentiometer.

FEATURES

• May be mounted on either side of machine
• Adjustable tracking force
• Rugged aluminum housing
• Adjustable deadband varies sensitivity
• RUN/STANDBY switch permits operator to switch to manual control
• Dual UP/DOWN lamps show deviation from setpoint in RUN and STANDBY modes
• Reverse polarity and short circuit protected
• Moisture and corrosion resistant
• Withstands vibration and shock
• Models for both 12 and 24 Volt systems
