The design, functions and controls of the "DMCI"
engine management system are described in this
systems manual.
"DMCI" stands for DAF Multi Controlled Injection.
Fuel injection is controlled by an electronically
controlled pump unit and an electronically
controlled injector.
The pump unit is responsible for the fuel supply to
the injector. Injection timing is determined by the
injector. Injection quantity is determined by the
pump unit and injector in combination.
Of course, the DMCI electronic unit requires
various sensors to control these two components
correctly in order to determine the injection timing
and the correct quantity of fuel to be injected.
The electronic unit is the central control device of
the DMCI engine management system. The
functions can be split into engine functions and
vehicle functions.
Note:
Functions may be optional or may depend on the
vehicle configuration.

The fuel lift pump (3a) draws fuel out of the fuel
tank (1) via a shut-off valve (2a) in the supply
pipe. The fuel goes to the fuel pump (3) via the
cylinder block (A). The fuel lift pump (3a) pumps
the fuel via the fuel filter (4) to the fuel gallery in
the cylinder block (A). The pressure in the fuel
gallery is controlled by the pressure control flap
(5a) in the fuel pressure control valve (5). The
valve (5a) opens at a specific pressure and
the fuel is led back to the intake side of the
fuel pump (3).
1
There is a calibrated opening (5b) in the fuel
pressure control valve (5) that ensures cooling of
the fuel system, by means of fuel flow-back, at
low engine speeds and in situations where fuel is
not injected (e.g. DEB in use). This calibrated
opening (5b) also ensures that pressure in the
fuel gallery is stable at low speeds and therefore
that pump pressures are low.
There is a test connection (5c) on the fuel
pressure control valve (5) for measuring the fuel
gallery pressure.
The fuel flows to the pump units (6) from the fuel
gallery. If the solenoid valve in the pump unit is
not activated, the pump unit pumps the fuel back
into the fuel gallery. If the solenoid valve in the
pump unit is activated, the fuel is pumped at high
pressure to the injectors (7) via the fuel injection
pipes.
If the solenoid valve in the injector is activated, an
injection takes place.
The lubricating and leak-off fuel from the pump
unit plunger is discharged to the return gallery in
the cylinder block via a bore. The return and leakoff fuel from the injectors flows to the return
gallery in the cylinder block via a bore in the
cylinder head and the fuel return pipe with nonreturn valve (8).
The return fuel flows back to the tank via a shutoff valve (2b).
The shut-off valves (2a and 2b) are opened when
the fuel pipes are connected. When the fuel pipes
between engine and chassis are disconnected,
the valves close the opening to the cylinder block.
There is a coarse filter (1a) in the fuel tank (1),
which prevents any larger impurities from the
bottom of the fuel tank getting into the fuel lift
pump. From the fuel lift pump, fuel is pumped to
the fuel gallery through the fuel fine filter (4).
The fuel filter is self-bleeding. There is a throttle
(3b) at the highest point in the fuel fine filter (4)
through which air in the system is discharged to
the fuel tank.
Basic function of injection
The pump unit and injector work in tandem to
bring about fuel injection. A complete fuel
injection cycle is described in the following steps.

Filling
The fuel lift pump (3) draws fuel out of the tank (5)
via the inlet pipe (6) and pumps it to the pump unit
(1). The pump unit has not been activated and the
pump unit valve (1a) is open. The space above
the pump unit plunger (1b) is filled. Because the
camshaft moves the pump unit plunger up, the
fuel can now flow back to the supply side.
Pressure has not yet built up in the fuel injection
pipe.
When the pump unit (1) is activated, the pump
unit valve (1a) shuts off the fuel supply. The pump
unit plunger (1b) continues to move up, but now
pressure builds up because the fuel can no
longer flow back to the supply side. The fuel is
now pumped to the injector (2). The chamber
above the injector plunger (2d) now fills slowly via
the throttle (2c). Because the injector valve (2a)
has not been activated, the fuel cannot flow out to
the return (7). The fuel pressure and the spring
above the injector plunger (2d) ensure that the
injector needle (2e) cannot be lifted.
Curve x indicates the fuel pressure in the injector.
Curve y indicates the movement of the injector
needle.
The fuel pressure (x) now increases. The injector
needle has not yet lifted (y).
When the injector (2) is also activated, the
injector valve (2a) releases the path to the return
(7). The pressure above the injector plunger (2d)
is now slowly released via a throttle (2b). Now the
pressure under the injector needle (2e) is able to
lift the injector needle. Fuel is now injected.
The fuel pressure (x) now experiences a small dip
because fuel is being injected, but the pressure
immediately rises again. The needle is now
lifted (y).
To ensure that the injector needle (2e) closes
quickly enough, the fuel pressure in the injector is
first reduced. The pump unit (1) is no longer
activated and, as a result, the pump unit valve
(1a) re-opens the supply and the pressure in the
fuel injection pipe drops. Injection still continues.
The fuel pressure (x) now decreases. The injector
needle is still lifted to its maximum extent (y).
The injector valve (2a) is now no longer
energised. In the meantime, the fuel pressure in
the injector has decreased and the injector
needle (2e) is closed by the spring above the
injector plunger (2d).
The fuel pressure (x) now decreases even
further. The injector needle is about to close (y).
The fuel pressure has now dropped as much as
possible and the injector needle (2e) is pushed
down by the spring above the plunger (d).
The fuel pressure (x) is now at its minimum level.
The injector needle has closed (y).
The electronic unit is mounted on the cylinder
block using rubber insulating bushes (3). The
electronic unit has three 62-pin connectors. Input
signals from various sensors are continuously
processed and compared with data stored in
various maps (tables) in the electronic unit.
Actuators are energised on the basis of the
signals received and the maps.
The housing (1) of the electronic unit is directly
connected to the engine block by an earth cable
(2). This earth connection is required because of
internal components which protect against radio
waves from outside.
The electronic unit incorporates an atmospheric
pressure sensor and a temperature sensor.
There is an air vent (4) for the atmospheric
pressure sensor in the housing of the electronic
unit.
An identification sticker (5) is attached to the
electronic unit.

The effect of atmospheric pressure on the
system:
-the quantity of fuel injected when driving at
high altitudes (low air pressure).
If atmospheric pressure is low (in mountainous
areas), the air is thinner. When the air is thinner it
has a low density. The electronic unit uses this
information to control the turbocharger pressure
and adjust the quantity of fuel to be injected.
The effect of the internal temperature sensor
on the system:
-none.
The internal temperature sensor measures the
temperature of the electronic unit. If the
temperature becomes too high, a fault code is
stored. The system does not take any further
action on the basis of this information.
Calibration
The performance of pump units and injectors may
differ slightly from one another as a result of small
production tolerances. These small production
differences are compensated for during
production by means of calibration in order to
optimise the engine output, exhaust gas
emissions and handling characteristics. A
calibration code is used to program the pump
units and injectors into the electronic unit
individually. The electronic unit modifies the
control of the pump units and injectors on the
basis of these calibration codes.
The accelerator pedal sensor (F672) is mounted
on the accelerator pedal. The sensor (2) consists
of a potentiometer and a switch.
Potentiometer
The output signal (B33) from the potentiometer is
a linear voltage that has a fixed relationship with
the position of the accelerator pedal and
therefore is determined by the driver. The
potentiometer signal is the basis for determining
the quantity of fuel to be injected. The
potentiometer has a supply voltage (B34) and an
earth (B37) via the electronic unit.

Idling switch
Parallel to the potentiometer also the idling switch
is operated by depressing the accelerator pedal.
The idling switch is open in the no-load position
and is closed when the accelerator pedal is
operated. The switch is required for the
emergency function, when the potentiometer
signal is absent. This emergency function allows
the vehicle to be driven to a safe place or a
workshop if there is no potentiometer signal. One
side of the switch is connected to earth (B38) via
the electronic unit. The positive side (B41) is
connected to earth by means of the switch.
Kick-down switch
The kick-down switch (1) under the accelerator
pedal only acts to form a mechanical resistance
when the accelerator pedal is depressed. The
electronic unit detects the kick-down status
because the value of the output signal from the
potentiometer is higher than at full load. The kickdown switch is for instance used to temporarily
disengage variable vehicle speed limiting so that
an automatic/automated gearbox can shift down
(in order to accelerate).
The coolant temperature sensor emits a signal
that indicates the temperature of the coolant and
therefore indirectly the engine temperature. The
sensor used is of the NTC (negative temperature
coefficient) type. The higher the temperature, the
lower the resistance of the sensor.
Effect of output signal on the system:
-calculation of glowing time;
-calculation of the quantity of fuel to be
injected and the injection timing;
-calculation of actuation of the electronically
controlled fan clutch;
-limiting of engine torque when temperature is
too high;
-CAN message engine temperature, via
V-CAN2 to VIC-2 for display on the
instrument panel;
-limitation of the maximum engine speed
when the engine is cold.

2.42nd COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The 2nd coolant temperature sensor (F743) gives
a signal of the temperature of the coolant and
therefore indirectly of the engine at the level of
cylinder 6. The signal is compared by the
electronic unit (D965) to the signal from the
coolant sensor (F566) at the level of cylinder 1.
The sensor is of the NTC (Negative Temperature
Coefficient) type. The higher the temperature, the
lower the resistance of the sensor.
2.5INLET AIR BOOST PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR
This is a combined sensor that measures the air
pressure in the inlet manifold and the
temperature of this air. The electronic unit uses
this data to calculate the quantity of air drawn in.
The quantity of intake air needs to be known in
order to calculate the quantity of injected fuel to
prevent smoke. The charge pressure is also in a
direct relationship to the turbocharger pressure
control. The waste gate valve is actuated
depending on this signal.
The charge temperature sensor (3) used is of the
NTC (negative temperature coefficient) type. The
higher the temperature, the lower the resistance
of the sensor. The charge pressure sensor (1) is
a piezoresistive sensor. The inlet air is measured
via an opening (4) in the sensor. The higher the
pressure, the higher the voltage signal. The
sensor is sealed in the installation hole in the
cylinder head by an O-ring (5).
The temperature signal is fed back to the
electronic unit via a connection (2).
A piezoresistive sensor requires a power
supply (3) and earth (1) to create a linear
voltage signal (4).
This is a combined sensor that measures the fuel
pressure in the fuel gallery and the temperature
of this fuel. The sensor is located in the middle of
the fuel gallery between the cylinder 3 pump unit
and the cylinder 4 pump unit. Because of this the
measured values for fuel pressure and
temperature are the most representative for the
whole fuel gallery.
The fuel temperature sensor is of the NTC
(negative temperature coefficient) type. The
higher the temperature, the lower the resistance.
The fuel pressure sensor is a Piëzo capacitive
sensor. The higher the pressure, the higher the
voltage signal.
The temperature signal is fed back to the
electronic unit via a connection (3).
A Piëzo capacitive sensor requires a power
supply (1) and earth (4) to create a linear voltage
signal (2).
This is a combined sensor that measures the
engine oil pressure in the cylinder block main
passage and the temperature of this oil.
The engine oil temperature sensor used is of the
NTC (negative temperature coefficient) type. The
higher the temperature, the lower the resistance
of the sensor. The engine oil pressure sensor is a
Piëzo capacitive sensor. The higher the pressure,
the higher the voltage signal. The engine oil
pressure is measured via an opening in the
sensor. The higher the pressure, the higher the
voltage signal.

The temperature signal is fed back to the
electronic unit via a connection (3). A piëzocapacitive sensor requires a power supply (1)
and earth (4) to create a linear voltage signal (2).
Effect of temperature signal on the system:
-none.
Effect of pressure signal on the system:
-CAN message to VIC to actuate oil pressure
indicator light and warning on the DIP main
display when engine oil pressure is too low.
The crankshaft sensor (F552) registers engine
speed and is used to determine the injection
timing. The crankshaft sensor is responsible,
together with the camshaft sensor, for
synchronisation when starting the engine. If there
is no camshaft signal, the crankshaft signal is
used for cylinder detection.
The crankshaft sensor (A) is mounted on the
flywheel housing (B). It is an inductive sensor and
consists of a magnet (C), a metal core (D) and a
coil (E). Inductive means that the sensor can
generate an alternating voltage signal
independently by means of a changing magnetic
field. The pattern of holes in the flywheel (F)
means that the sensor can generate a specific
alternating signal. The pattern consists of 3
segments each with 18 holes and an area with
2 holes missing (G). Each segment is used for
calculations on two specific cylinders (1/6, 2/5
and 3/4).
The sensor has 3 connections. Pins 1 and 2 are
responsible for the signal. Pin 2 is the signal
connection and pin 1 is the earth connection. Pin
3 is connected to the shield around the signal
wires and to the earth connection (pin 1). This
prevents the engine speed signal being affected
by signals from outside.
The most powerful changes in the magnetic field
of the sensor take place when the pattern of holes
(1) in the flywheel changes from a hole to a tooth
and vice versa. A sine-wave alternating voltage
(2) is generated as a result of this changing
magnetic field. As a hole approaches, the
crankshaft sensor signal must be at the maximum
positive value and then drop to the maximum
negative value as the end of the hole
approaches. This is determined by the sensor
connections to the electronic unit! The electronic
unit converts this sine-wave alternating voltage
signal to a digital signal (3) which it uses to carry
out calculations.
Sine-wave signals (2) can be measured using an
oscilloscope with the engine running using the
pattern of holes in the flywheel (1). Each hole in a
segment (b) generates a sine-wave pulse. When
the area with the two holes missing (a and c) goes
under the crankshaft sensor, the pulse pattern is
interrupted. This enables the sensor to detect the
end of the segment.
Effect of output signal on the system:
-synchronisation during starting;
-injection timing calculation;
-registration of engine speed;
-cylinder detection if there is no camshaft
signal.
-CAN message engine speed to other vehicle
systems via V-CAN1 (AS Tronic, EAS) and
V-CAN2 (VIC-2, ZF intarder EST-42, ABS-D,
EBS-2, DIP-4, ECAS-4, builder module)
The camshaft sensor (F558) is responsible,
together with the crankshaft sensor, for
synchronisation when starting the engine. The
signal also provides the information relating to
cylinder detection. If the crankshaft sensor (F552)
is defective the camshaft signal acts as a reserve
signal for registering the engine speed and
determining the correct injection timing.
The camshaft sensor (A) is mounted on the
flywheel housing (B). It is an inductive sensor and
consists of a magnet (C), a metal core (D) and a
coil (E). Inductive means that the sensor can
generate an alternating voltage signal
independently by means of a changing magnetic
field. The sensor can generate a specific
alternating signal by means of a tooth pattern on
the pulse wheel (F). The sensor has 3
connections. Pins 1 and 2 are responsible for the
signal. Pin 1 is the signal connection and pin 2 is
the earth connection. Pin 3 is connected to the
shield around the signal wires and to the earth
connection (pin 2). This prevents the signal being
affected by signals from outside.
The most powerful changes in the magnetic field
of the sensor take place when the tooth pattern
(1) on the pulse wheel changes from a tooth to a
hole and vice versa. A sine-wave alternating
voltage (2) is generated as a result of this
changing magnetic field. As a tooth approaches,
the camshaft sensor signal must be at the
maximum positive value and then drop to the
maximum negative value as the end of the tooth
approaches. This is determined by the sensor
connections to the electronic unit! The electronic
unit converts this sine-wave alternating voltage
signal to a digital signal (3) which it uses to carry
out calculations.
Sine-wave signals (2) can be measured using an
oscilloscope with the engine running using the
tooth pattern on the pulse wheel (1). Each tooth,
and therefore pulse, corresponds to a specific
cylinder. The additional tooth before the
cylinder -1 tooth is the synchronisation tooth (S).
The pulse this generates is required to realise the
synchronisation procedure together with the
crankshaft sensor signal.
Effect of output signal on the system:
-synchronisation during starting;
-cylinder detection;
-calculation of injection timing if crankshaft
sensor is defective;
-registration of engine speed if crankshaft
sensor is defective.
-CAN message engine speed to other vehicle
systems if the crank shaft sensor is faulty via
V-CAN1 (AS Tronic, EAS) and V-CAN2
(VIC-2, ZF intarder EST-42, ABS-D, EBS-2,
DIP-4, ECAS-4, builder module)
-output signal engine speed if crankshaft
sensor is faulty (EMAS, cab lead-through
connector).
The waste gate valve controls opening and
closing of the waste gate on the turbocharger.
The waste gate valve air supply (6) comes
directly from the air supply unit circuit 4 (approx.
10 bar) and is adjusted in the valve to a control
pressure (9) for the diaphragm housing of the
waste gate. The waste gate valve checks the
output pressure using an internal pressure
sensor (11). The signal issued by the internal
pressure sensor is compared by the internal
electronics (2) to the signal from the electronic
unit. The internal electronics energises the coil
(3) with a duty cycle (PWM) signal. If the required
pressure differs from the actual pressure, the
internal electronics modifies the duty cycle.

Rest position/bleeding
In the rest position or during bleeding, the coil (3)
is not energised. The piston (8) and valve (5) are
pushed up by the force of the spring. This also
pushes up the metal core (4). The outlet (9) is
now connected to the air bleed vent (7).
When the coil (3) is energised, the metal core (4)
is pushed down. The valve (5) closes off the
opening to the air bleed vent on the piston (8).
The pressure present in the outlet (9) now stays
constant.
Pressure increase
If the coil (3) remains activated for longer, the
valve (5) will push the piston (8) further down and
the air supply opening (6) to the outlet (9) is
released. This increases the output pressure.
The pump unit supplies fuel to the injector. The
pump unit consists of a metal housing (3) in
which an electrical coil (2) opens a valve (1). In
the rest position, the valve (1) is pushed up by a
spring (4). The electrical connection (8) is
screwed onto the outside of the pump unit. The
roller tappet (6) rotates around the camshaft and
actuates the plunger (5), which builds up the fuel
pressure. The fuel enters the pump unit via the
fuel gallery opening (A). This opening goes into
the fuel supply gallery in the engine block. The
fuel leaves the pump unit in the direction of the
injector via a delivery valve (7). The fuel pipe is
fitted to the injector supply connection (C). Leakoff/lubricating fuel from the plunger is fed back to
the return gallery in the engine block via the
return opening (B).
The pump unit is activated with a voltage of
approximately 50V. This voltage is the discharge
from a capacitor in the DMCI electronic unit. The
current increases rapidly because of this
relatively high voltage. As a result, the valve in the
pump unit opens quickly. This is the pick-up
phase. If the current were not limited, it would
become too high and damage the coil in the pump
unit. The increase in the current is limited by
switching to pulsating control of approximately
24V after discharging the capacitor. This is the
withstand phase. The current now remains high
enough to hold the valve open. The length of the
pick-up phase stays practically the same under
all circumstances. The length of the withstand
phase will vary depending on the calculations
carried out by the electronic unit. When the pump
unit is deactivated a negative induction peak is
created by switching off the current through the
pump unit coil.
Operation
The fuel is supplied to the pump unit via the
gallery in the engine block flowing towards the
delivery chamber above the plunger. The delivery
chamber now fills.
The pressure does not build up immediately
when the plunger is pushed up by the camshaft.
The fuel can still flow back to the fuel gallery via
the supply opening.
When the coil is activated, the valve is pulled
down and the opening to the fuel gallery closes.
Pressure only starts to be built up by the plunger
now. The fuel cannot flow back to the gallery and
now has to flow towards the injector outlet via the
delivery valve. Fuel is now supplied to the
injector.
When the coil is deactivated by the electronic
unit, the valve is pushed up again by the spring
and the opening to the fuel gallery is released
again. This stops the supply of fuel to the injector.
Every pump unit is calibrated after production to
compensate for any inaccuracies/differences in
production. There is a 4-letter calibration code on
the housing of the electrical connections. The
code must be programmed into the electronic unit
so that the unit can optimise controls for fuel
injection. If the pump unit is replaced or moved,
the calibration code must be programmed into the
electronic unit again using DAVIE XD.
The pump unit supplies fuel to the injector. The
injector consists essentially of two parts. The top
part is a metal housing (1), to which the electrical
connector (7) is attached. The coil (10) and spring
(9) that open and close the valve (11) are also in
the housing. The bottom part bears the closest
resemblance to a conventional injector. The valve
(11) and its guide are in this part, the nozzle
holder (4). Below this are the plunger (12) and
spring (13) and finally the nozzle (6), with the
injector needle (14) inside. The copper washer
(5) is under the nozzle holder.
The fuel enters the injector via the supply (A), in
which the bar filter (8) is pressed. The return fuel
leaves the injector via the opening (B) and flows
into the cylinder head return duct.
The injector is activated with a voltage of
approximately 50V. This voltage is the discharge
from a capacitor in the DMCI electronic unit. The
current increases rapidly because of this
relatively high voltage. As a result, the valve in the
injector opens quickly. This is the pick-up phase.
If the current were not limited, it would become
too high and damage the coil in the injector. The
increase in the current is limited by switching to
pulsating control of approximately 24V after
discharging the capacitor. This is the withstand
phase. The current now remains high enough to
hold the valve open. The length of the pick-up
phase stays practically the same under all
circumstances. The length of the withstand phase
will vary depending on the calculations carried
out by the electronic unit. When the pump unit is
deactivated a negative induction peak is created
by switching off the current through the injector
coil.
Operation
In the rest position, the valve is pushed down by
the spring above the valve. The opening to the
return is now closed.
Even though fuel is now being supplied to the
injector, this does not mean that it immediately
starts injecting. The same fuel pressure that must
lift the injector needle also pushes down the
plunger - along with the plunger spring. The
injector needle cannot yet be lifted.
Description of components
1
When the coil is activated by the electronic unit,
the valve is pulled in against the pressure of the
spring and the opening to the return is released.
As a result, the pressure above the plunger
decreases. The fuel pressure under the injector
needle now overcomes the pressure of the spring
above the plunger. The injector needle is lifted
and fuel is injected.
To stop injection, the fuel supply pressure to the
injector is decreased by deactivating the pump
unit. The injector is only deactivated once the fuel
pressure is low enough. This is to allow the
plunger spring to close the injector needle
quickly.
Every injector is calibrated during production to
compensate for any inaccuracies/differences in
production. There is a 6-letter calibration code on
the housing of the electrical connections. The
code must be programmed into the electronic unit
so that the unit can optimise controls for fuel
injection. As a result, the electronic unit can
ensure that the injection timing and the quantity of
fuel injected do not differ. If the injector is
replaced or moved, the calibration code must
be programmed into the electronic unit using
DAVIE XD.

An electronically controlled fan clutch is used for

Control of the fan clutch depends on various
factors:
-coolant temperature
-the inlet air temperature
-vehicle speed
-engine speed
-fan speed
-intarder activation
-internal slip of the fan clutch (slip heat
protection)
The fan clutch consists of a stator (1) and the
rotor (3), which is fixed to the drive shaft (5). It
also includes the supply chamber (6) for the
silicone fluid.
The working area is located between the
stator (1) and the rotor (3). The fan is fitted to
the stator (1) and rotates freely around the drive
shaft (5).
The speed of the fan is sensed by an internal Hall
sensor and a pulse disc.
This sensor sends a signal to the electronic unit
DMCI. The electronic unit uses this signal to
check the internal slip of the fan and the response
to controls.
The lid (2) is now in the original position. The filler
opening is now released and the return opening
is closed. The quantity of silicon fluid through the
working area (7) between the stator (1) and the
rotor (3) increases because of this. The friction in
the working area between the stator (1) and the
rotor (3) will increase and the difference in
rotating speed (slip) between the stator (1) and
the rotor (3) will decrease. The fan speed is
increased because of this. The fan speed will
approach or exceed the engine speed depending
on the transmission between the crankshaft and
the fan drive.
Note:
This therefore means that in the event of the
failure of the actuation of the fan clutch the fan will
turn at maximum speed.
If the coil (4) is actuated by way of a duty-cycle
then the lid (2) will be attracted by the magnetism
created. The filler opening is then closed by the
lid (2) and at the same time the return opening is
opened up. The silicon fluid now flows from the
working area (7) between the stator (1) and the
rotor (3) to the supply chamber (6). Less silicon
fluid in the working area means more slip
between the stator (1) and the rotor (3). The fan
speed will decrease.
Note:
Duty cycle high means decreasing fan speed.
Duty cycle low means increasing fan speed.
When carrying out calculations, the electronic
unit always starts with a specific engine "status".
This status is a specific operating mode of the
engine. Controls are used or modified depending
on the status.
System statusDescription
On (STATIONARY)The ignition is switched on, the engine has not yet
started and is not running.
Starting (CRANKING)The engine is started.
Idling (IDLING)The engine is running at idling speed.
Engine running (RUNNING)The engine is running at speeds higher than idling
speed.
Cruise (CRUISE)The engine is running in the cruise control function,
or a control that adjusts the injection controls to
keep the vehicle speed constant.
1
PTO (PTO)The engine is running in the engine speed control,
or a control that keeps the engine speed constant
for driving power take off devices.
Overrevving (OVERSPEEDING)The engine is running with more rpm than normal
which may cause mechanical damage.
Off (POWER DOWN)The engine is switched off and is not running.
To
The electronic unit detects whether the vehicle
ignition is switched on via connection point B44.
This status remains active as long as no speed
signal is received.
Starting
Starting is detected via the engine speed signal.
The speed must be higher than a specific value,
but lower than the engine speed when idling.
Idling
The electronic unit detects this status by the
engine speed. The speed depends on the
different operating conditions (e.g. coolant
temperature).
If a voltage signal is received on pin B20 or B16,
the electronic unit detects that the cruise control
switch has been operated. There must also be a
speed signal of 30 km/h present.

PTO
The PTO status is made known via a CAN
message via V-CAN1 from VIC-2. The "RES"
switch on the steering column switch / steering
wheel switch must also be operated so that DMCI
receives a CAN message from VIC-2 via V-CAN.
Overrevving
This status is detected when the engine speed is
higher than a specific value.
Off
Voltage is removed from pin B44. The electronic
unit detects that the ignition has been switched
off.
The DMCI engine management system
communicates via V-CAN1 and V-CAN2 with
various vehicle systems. DMCI is equipped with a
terminating resistor for V-CAN1 and V-CAN2.

The DMCI electronic unit receives relevant
information from other electronic units and sends
information to these electronic units in its turn.
Communication with DAVIE XD takes place via
the D-CAN to VIC-2 and via VIC-2 and V-CAN1
again to DMCI.
A number of important CAN messages are shown
below.
The purpose of the glowing system is to warm up
the inlet air so that the engine starts up more
easily and so that the engine runs more smoothly
if the outside temperature is low. During preglowing, the inlet air is heated before the engine
starts. Glowing can also take place while the
engine is starting. After-glowing takes place when
the engine is running. Pre-glowing and glowing
when starting mean that the engine starts
smoothly. Glowing when starting and afterglowing reduce emissions (white smoke) in cold
conditions.
Depending on the number of input signals, the
electronic unit determines whether pre-glowing
and possibly after-glowing are necessary. If the
ignition is switched on then the electronic unit
compares the following temperatures:
-coolant temperature (F566),
-inlet air temperature (F649),
-fuel temperature (F713).

If one of these three temperatures is lower than a
certain programmed temperature then the
electronic unit will decide to activate the glow plug
relay. De laagste temperatuur van deze drie
bepaalt de tijdsduur van het voorgloeien.
Voorgloeien zal altijd gevolgd worden door
gloeien tijdens starten.
After-glowing is also determined by the lowest of
the three temperature signals (coolant, inlet air
and fuel). Glowing during starting and afterglowing prevents the emission of white smoke.
The electronic unit provides a glow plug relay
(G014) with current via pin C60,C61 and C62.
The glow relay (G014) is activated when the
electronic unit switches the relay to earth via pin
C32. If the glow plug relay is activated then the
glow element (B341) is provided with current via
the fuse (E392). At the same time the electronic
unit receives a current at pin C39. The electronic
unit can determine via this input whether the
glowing system is active, remains active when
not wanted or can not be activated. The
electronic unit then sends a CAN message to
VIC-2 to control the glow indication on DIP 4 or a
warning on the main display.
