Technical Information

SASA Sensor

Sensor type SASA general

The SASA sensor detects the absolute position and speed of the steering wheel. The sensor can be used
in electro-hydraulic steering systems using Danfoss OSPE, EHI, or EHPS steering valves with
programmable controller or in any other steering system where the rotation of the steering wheel must
be detected as an electronic signal.

There are two versions available of SASA sensors:

SASAIIC used for PVED-CL actuator. SASAIIC has single CAN output signal and “fail silent” concept

SASAIID used for PVED-CLS actuator and general usage. SASAIID has dual CAN output signal.

The use of SASA sensor is relevant e.g. for variable steering ratio and closed loop set-ups where steering
wheel position and steering angle have to match.

The SASA sensor also can be used for “kick out” of Auto-steering. When the steering valve is in auto­guidance mode, and the driver wants to swap to manual steering, a signal from the SASA sensor will
deactivate the Auto-steering and the steering wheel movement has priority.

SASA is based on a non-contact inductive principle giving a very high resolution.
The sensor features a robust design and resists e.g. electro-magnetic radiation.
The output is a CAN signal, which makes it easy to interface to advanced vehicle controllers and to

Danfoss PVED-CLS actuators for steering valves.
The steering wheel shaft turns the rotor of the SASA sensor, and the sensor is simply mounted between

steering unit and steering column. The shaft of the steering column must be 15 mm longer when using
SASA sensor.

In cases where customers want to use the same steering column in applications with and without SASA
sensors, Danfoss offers an adapter kit type SAK to built in between column and sensor.

The SASA sensor offers the following features:

High resolution < 0.1°

•

Output CAN signal

•

High safety

•

SASAIIC: “fail silent” concept

‒

SASAIID: two output messages concept

‒

SASAIID is PLUS+1® Compliant

•

Flanged in between steering unit and column

•

Compact design

Programming
sequence

CRC-16 The standard CRC16 polynomial is used (x^16+x^15+x^2+1)

The following sequence is used when programming the sensor.

1. The controller unit sends a setup message where byte 4 is set to AAh and byte 5

is set to 55h.

2. The sensor answers with a 0 on the status byte (bit 0).

The control unit then sends a setup message where byte 4 is set to 0Fh and

3.

byte 5 is set to F0h.
The first and second message shall match.

4. After receiving the last message the programming takes place in the sensor if

the parameters are in the defined range, the timeout period has not been
exceeded and the CRC-16 check is correct in both messages.

5. After programming the status bit in the output message changes back from 0

to 1.

6. If the controller's second message does not come within 1 second after the

controller's first message, the programming sequence will be aborted.

SASAIID CAN message protocol

Dual CAN output

The PVED-CLS (valve controller) can interface to a SASA with redundant output. A safety function that
compares the two output messages from SASA is implemented in the PVED-CLS. There is a 180-degree
phase shift between the two angles transmitted in the messages. Steering angle 1 and steering angle 2
are sampled with a delay < 2ms. The ID1 and ID2 messages are transmitted with a delay < 5ms. It is
possible to configure the sensor to transmit cyclic 1 or 2 messages.

Interface: CAN 2.0 B

Technical Information

SASA Sensor

Installation

SASA has to be mounted between steering column and steering unit (OSP) with 4 bolts max 30 N•m
[265.5 lbf•in]. Shaft in column must be 15 mm [0.59 in] longer when using SASA.

Assembly: SASA sensor and OSP steering unit

1. SASA sensor

2. OSP steering unit

Caution

Make sure that the spline profile of the SASA sensor is aligned to the spline profile of the steering column
shaft. A safe method of assembly is to place SASA sensor on the steering column spline shaft first – and
not opposite! In case of using force, there is a risk of bending the spline profile of SASA sensor.

For use of original steering column, use adapter kit type SAK, see sketch below.

Wiring guidelines

•

Protect wires from mechanical abuse, run wires in flexible metal or plastic conduits.

•

Use 85˚ C (185˚ F) wire with abrasion resistant insulation and 105˚ C (221˚ F) wire should be
considered near hot surfaces.

•

Use a wire size that is appropriate for the module connector.

•

Separate high current wires such as solenoids, lights, alternators or fuel pumps from sensor and other
noise-sensitive input wires.

•

Run wires along the inside of, or close to, metal machine surfaces where possible, this simulates a
shield which will minimize the effects of EMI/RFI radiation.

•

Do not run wires near sharp metal corners, consider running wires through a grommet when
rounding a corner.

•

Do not run wires near hot machine members.

•

Provide strain relief for all wires.

•

Avoid running wires near moving or vibrating components.

•

Avoid long, unsupported wire spans.

•

Ground electronic modules to a dedicated conductor of sufficient size that is connected to the
battery (-).

•

Power the sensors and valve drive circuits by their dedicated wired power sources and ground
returns.

•

Twist sensor lines about one turn every 10 cm (4 in).

•

Use wire harness anchors that will allow wires to float with respect to the machine rather than rigid
anchors.
