Electronic Diesel Control
Electronic Diesel Control EDC
General
The requirements set by customers and legislation in respect of fuel consumption, exhaust emission and
noise characteristics etc. on Diesel engines have grown over the years and will be even more stringent in
the future.
The fact that conventional mechanical injection systems have reached their performance limits has made
electronically controlled fuel injection systems necessary.
Such systems increase engine efficiency, improve driving comfort and lessen the burden on the environment.
EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) meets these requirements.

The engine can be triggered
-elektrically with the 2,9 - 4,5V signal or alternatively CAN bus
The controller contains
-the linear solenoid
-the control rod position transducer
The linear solenoid is actuated by the electronic control unit.
The control unit processes information which it receives via
-the control rod position transducer
-the drive position selection
-charge-air pressure sensor
-coolant temperature sensor
-charge-air temperature sensor
-the engine rpm sensors
-the needle movement sensor
-and the fuel temperature sensor (in the injection pump).
The diagnosis request pushbutton and the EDC indicator lamp are used in detecting faults and signalling
them through a code.
An ISO interface provides a communication with the MAN-cats test and diagnostic computer.
The control unit, with its program adapted to the engine model concerned, determines the optimum setting
of the control rod from all the measured values.
To ensure the vehicle can reach the nearest workshop in the event of one or several sensors failing, an
emergency operation function is integrated in the control unit which, depending on the situation, enables
the vessel to continue on its way, albeit with restricted functions.
When the brakes are applied, the system operates as an intermediate engine speed controller with a proportional degree of 0, i.e. a set intermediate engine speed is maintained exactly provided the engine develops sufficient power output for this purpose.
6
System description
The idle speed control operates in the same way as the intermediate engine speed control. The idle speed
is exactly maintained by means of the idle speed governor as long as the engine output is sufficient for this.
The regulated idle speed can be varied within certain limits.
Starting-fuel delivery is output when either a lower start recognition speed is exceeded. The starting fuel
volume and cold idle speed are limited as a function of the coolant temperature to avoid impermissible
smoke emission and unnecessary revving of the engine after starting.

Component description
MS 5 injection pump
The MS 5 injection pump, also known as a “control-slide pump” has a mechanism which regulates the start
of injection by performing a “lifting / sliding” movement. The pump comprises a heavy-duty conventional
injection module, as used on the familiar P-pumps, a flange-mounted electromagnetic fuel volume regulator, in place of the mechanical regulator, and an electromagnetic regulator for the start of injection (pilot
stroke / start of delivery regulator).
The difference between this system and the familiar P-pump is primarily in the plunger.

3 Control position actuating solenoid6 Plate for blocking start of delivery
and part of the oil pressure delivery pump
The fuel volume regulator works in the same way as the familiar EDC-RE regulators which use the P-pump
(MS 5). The most important component of the fuel-delivery regulator is a linear solenoid whose armature
acts directly on the control rod thus determining the injection volume by means of the control position.
When no current is supplied, the control rod is held in the stop position by means of a spring.
The pilot feed / start of delivery regulator also contains a linear solenoid, whose armature, by means of an
adjusting lever, causes the control-slider adjusting shaft to rotate. When no current is supplied, the adjusting shaft is also held in position by a spring, so that the control-slider is in its uppermost position, in the
“late” start of delivery position.
The regulator also has a control rod position sensor and an oil pump (viscous pump).

The difference between this system and the P-pump is primarily in the pumping element. The element cylinder contains a window and a control-slider which slides on the element plunger. The control-slider contains the control bore for the start and end of delivery. Because the control-slider can be height-adjusted,
the start and end of delivery can be changed.
The pump housing contains a rotating adjusting shaft with drivers which engage in a groove on the controlslider. When the shaft is rotated, the height of all the control-sliders is adjusted evenly, thereby changing
the pilot stroke and the start of delivery.

Component description
Resistor bank
On commercial vehicles, certain items of data are fed to the EDC which are not required for railway operation.
An example of such data is a signal from the tachograph (speedometer, tachograph) which is used for controlling or limiting the driving speed (see Page 36).
Some unused EDC connections must be closed by resistors since the EDC constantly conducts a signalrange check, as described on Page 20.

Redundant cut-out device Safety relay
The relay (redundant cut-out device) is a safety-critical component.
If certain faults occur in the EDC system the relay interrupts the voltage supply for the control-rod travel
operating magnet.
The control rod is pulled back to the stop position by a return spring.
The safety relay is under current throughout operation. To activate it (e.g. emergency switch-off of the en-
gine) the EDC control unit interrupts the current circuit.

Component description
Drive stage selection
Function
The drive stage selection device transfers driver’s requests in the form of voltages to the control unit. The
control unit then derives the corresponding engine speed or volumetric charge from these voltages.

Function
The temperature sensors for charge air, coolant and fuel are NTC resistors.
The coolant temperature sensor is located in the coolant circuit and the turbo air temperature sensor in the
turbo air circuit after the intercooler. They supply the control unit with information relating to the coolant and
turbo air temperature.
The fuel temperature sensor is part of the injection pump and measures the fuel temperature for determination of the fuel density.
Depending on the fuel density the control unit determines the injection quantity and thus also the duration
of injection.

Ground -Supply +
Plug connection
Function
The pressure sensor element consists of an Si-diaphragm which contains several piezo-resistive (pressuresensitive) semiconductor resistors. The pressure to be measured “deflects” the sprung diaphragms. As a
result, extended or compressed zones are created on the surface of the diaphragms. The action of these
forces changes the electrical ratings of semiconductor resistor arrays arranged in these zones. These values are a measure for the pressure to be measured.

RPM sensor
Housing: grey
Coding A
Function
The rpm sensor consists of a permanent magnet and a coil with a high number of windings. The magnet
“touches” the rotaring component to be measured, normally a crown gear or grooved ring gear; with its
magnetic field.
With the EDC MS5 system, there are 6 grooves on the flywheel.
When a groove passes the sensor, the magnetic current is reduced. This generates an induction voltage in
the sensor coil which is measured by the electronic control. The distance between the sensor and the
grooved ring gear is approx. 1 mm.
Two rpm sensors are required to ensure reliable operation of the EDC system.
Both rpm sensors are installed in the flywheel housing.
A distinction is made between the rpm sensor and the auxiliary rpm sensor.
The rpm sensor is installed in the flywheel housing such that an rpm pulse is triggered 10°after TDC.
The auxiliary rpm sensor is installed in the flywheel housing in such a way that an auxiliary speed pulse is
triggered 18° after TDC. The signals of the auxiliary rpm sensor are used only for redundant engine speed
sensing.

Notes on operation
Start procedure
The gear stage must be selected (idle speed request setpoint specification) to start the engine.
Changing idle speed
Idle speed setting is possible using EOL programming (MAN Cats), but this should only be performed by
MAN customer service personnel.
Intermediate engine speed control
Different intermediate engine speeds can be programmed by means of MAN-Cats:
D ZDR 1, ZDR 2 and ZDR 3
These intermediate engine speeds are set by corresponding pin connection.
The intermediate engine speeds can be changed using EOL programming (MAN-Cats), but this should only
be performed by MAN customer service personnel.
19
Self-diagnosis
General
The EDC system continuously checks itself. It does this by running a signal-range check. During this
check, all signals are scanned for presence and plausibility within a certain time frame (determined by the
software).
The control unit itself is also constantly checked the whole time the program is running. The first check is
always carried out when the ignition is turned on.
Any faults occurring during operation are stored for the purpose of subsequent diagnosis.
A maximum of 5 faults can be stored simultaneously in the fault memory. The faults are stored in the order
in which they occurred. If more than 5 faults occur, the least significant fault is deleted.
Fault storage includes
D allocation of fault priority,
D identification of the type of fault,
D recording of fault frequency.
Sporadic faults are recorded by a frequency counter the first time they occur. This means that a certain frequency number is set which is decremented by one during every start procedure. If the fault no longer occurs, it is deleted when the counter reaches zero.
To report the fault, the diagnostic lamp either comes on permanently or remains off, depending on the significance of the fault. If several faults are stored, the steady light has priority over OFF.
Only faults currently present are indicated. Faults which are stored but which are not currently present are
not indicated.
There are two fault memories:
D Fault memory for diagnosis via ISO interface. This memory can be read out and cleared with MAN-Cats
D Fault memory for diagnosis via flash code. The flash code memory can be read out and cleared with the
aid of the diagnosis button.
Faults are always entered in both fault memories simultaneously and can be read out even after the ignition
has been switched off and back on again.
Indicator lamp check:
The EDC indicator lamp lights as a lamp test for approximately 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on.
20
Self-diagnosis
The following measures are implemented automatically depending on the significance of the fault:
D Changeover to suitable substitute function to enable continued yet restricted operation
D Reduction of engine speed to idle speed (drive stage 0)
D Immediate shut-down of the engine if required for safety reasons. Depending on the type of fault, engine
shut-down is done by reducing the fuel delivery volume to zero or by way of an emergency shut-down
with safety relay.
Flash code
To read out the fault memory
D With the engine stationary or running and the “ignition“ switched on, press and hold the diagnosis re-
quest button for at least 2 seconds. The diagnosis lamp will not come on
D The flash procedure starts after a pause of approximately 3 seconds. The flash code is divided into long
and short pulses
D The diagnostic system always outputs only one fault at a time. In order to check whether several faults
are stored, the fault scanning procedure must be repeated until the fault that was shown first reappears
