Vision, climate and equipment control on one modular platform — around ten camera streams processed on board, six module slots out, and a CAN module to reach the rest of the barn.
P/N ECU-01-006-000 ships today. Every figure on this page is a published specification of the released unit.
Photo for reference only. The actual product may vary.The Mini-C Plus is the computing unit the rest of the system reports to. Cameras tell it where the cows are, its own sensors tell it what the air is doing, and what it decides leaves over CAN to the DB devices on the barn wall — or through the modules fitted inside it.
Four capabilities that decide what the rest of the system is able to do.
Presence and location zone by zone, so equipment can be guided by where the cows actually are rather than by a barn-wide average.
Temperature and humidity are measured on board and turned into THI without an extra sensor node.
Six slots let a barn take only the functions it needs — variable speed, cooling, curtains, sensor inputs or communication.
The CAN communication module carries commands out to multiple DB devices and brings their status back — it is a slot, not a fixed port, so a barn can also run without it.
One loop, running continuously, over the whole barn.
Fit modules locally, run CAN devices across the barn, or combine both.

Six modules share the slots on the Mini-C Plus — fit only the ones the barn needs.
The MD-VFD-4 is equipped with four 0–10 V DC outputs that command variable-frequency drives, plus a switch/enable signal for each channel. A manual override on the module lets an operator set the output by hand, without the network.
Integrates automatic control, position feedback and a manual override. One module switches and positions the inlets of a barn — side curtains, ventilation windows and chimney caps — with stable and reliable performance and simple operation.
The MD-SWITCH-8 is equipped with eight relay outputs that switch fans, heaters, lights and other equipment on and off. Each relay is a switch signal — the load power is supplied separately. A manual override on the module lets an operator trip each relay by hand, without the network.
The MD-VSO-8 features eight 24 V outputs that drive the valves in the soaking system directly, across a wide input voltage range of 12 V to 36 V. A manual override on the module lets an operator drive the outputs by hand, without the network.
The MD-SENSOR-4 is a four-input smart module that precisely measures analogue sensors.
The MD-CAN-2 has two CAN interfaces. It connects multiple control units via CAN-H and CAN-L and delivers excellent compatibility and anti-interference performance.
One platform, three grades. The Plus is the one that ships today.
The other half of the system — and the controller the site will already have.
