1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Danfoss HFX product family is a series of advanced,
CAN- based controllers for use with mobile and industrial
equipment. Using C programming, these controllers
enable functional control over electrically operated
components within a variety of applications (e.g.
agricultural, construction, material handling). It is
recommendedthat an individual have experience with
control engineering and programming with C before
using this hardware.
The HFX product family is optimized for reliable
operation in severe environments, possessing
IP and temperature ratings that exceed existing solutions
from competitors. HFX controllers employ several
advanced technologies (e.g. I/O with variable conguration
architecture), enabling simple management and enhancing
both ease of use and functionality.These controllers are
intended as both a standalone solution, or as the
centerpiece to a complete control system that can include
other CAN-based devices such as displays and keypads.

4.0 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Note: This operating and installation manual is intended for use
by a competent programmer, electrician, technician, or
engineer. The instructions included in this manual should be
read and kept as a reference document prior to initial
controller installation and use. Incorrect operation of these
controllers can present a signicant threat to both individuals
and equipment. In the event of an equipment breakdown, do
not attempt to repair the controller as there are no user
serviceable parts inside the enclosure. Any evidence of
tampering will invalidate the warranty.
5.0 APPLICATION
This operating and installation manual should be used in
conjunction with the hfx_capi_manual.pdf. Together, this
information should form a basis for the simple conguration of
the controller and the creation of programs specic to your
application needs. Proper operation ofthe controller is
dependent on the program thatis created and ultimately
downloaded to the hardware, therefore extensive testing is
required. Customers programming the controller possess the
responsibility of ensuring that both the hardware and software
performs as intended with their applications.
Note: That each controller within the HFX product family requires the
installation of the HFXC-API SDK, service tool and CAN adapter drivers
before initial use in the application environment. The HFXC-API SDK
requires MS Windows® 7 or greater
.
6.0 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The Danfoss HFX product line consists of four controller
models (HFX12m, HFX20m, HFX32m, and HFX48m), each
possessing a unique number of I/O. The HFX12m/ HFX20m
(pictured below) and HFX32m/HFX48m (pictured below)
both share common housings.
Each of these units is designed to function over an extended
operating range of supply voltage, from 6
–32 VDC.
HFX12m/HFX20m
HFX32m/HFX48m
The three integrated CAN ports on these units support CAN
2.0B.
HFX controllers are programmed via CAN via an E- COM®
adapter with either HFX service tool or FXST service tool.
Both included in the installation package, see section 8 for
service tool installation instructions. A Kvaser® CAN adapter is
also compatible with the FXST service tool.
The two regulated outputs (sensor supplies) can be
congured individually for either 5 or 10 V operation.
