1General
The increase in electronic systems in the new Actros means that
more and more signals now have to be made available across all
the systems. This primarily has an impact on the networking,
which has also gained in complexity. Alongside the familiar CAN
and ASIC data bus systems the LIN data bus is now increasingly
being used. The new Actros alone has 11 LIN data buses, which
connect the various control units, switches or other electronic
components to each other. The number of CAN data buses by
contrast has only risen slightly.

2CAN data bus system
The CAN data bus system enables information to be exchanged
quickly and reliably between control units over only a few lines.
The information is sent or received successively (serial). The
exchange is bidirectional, i.e. each control unit operates as both a
transmitter and a receiver.
Transfer rates
2.1
In the new Actros up to 13 different CAN data buses are used. The
majority of these CAN data buses have a transfer rate of >250
kBaud and this classes them as high>speed CAN data buses. The
reasons for the increase in high>speed CAN data buses are:
•
Increase in data rate (number of messages that are sent)
•
Almost identical manufacturing costs as for low>speed CAN
data buses
•
Greater use of LIN data bus in non>critical safety areas
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
The transfer rate of the drive train CAN (CAN 4) was increased to
667 kBaud, because the high number of messages had
significantly increased the bus operating rate. If the data rate was
not increased, then there is the risk that some messages with low
priority could no longer be sent due to the bus operating rate.
To ensure that freight forwarders, for example for fleet
management, can continue to call up specific information on
vehicle location, current speed, etc. the transfer rate of the
telematics CAN (CAN 9) has been retained at 250 kBaud.
The transfer rates have also been retained on the trailer CAN
(PSM) (CAN 7), the body manufacturer CAN (PSM) (CAN 8) and the
trailer CAN (EBS) (CAN 11). They are 125 kBaud, whereby they are
still classified as low>speed CAN data buses.
The transfer rate for the NOx>CAN (CAN 13) has not been changed
either and is > as before > 250 kBaud.
To compensate for the different transfer speeds, some control units
also act as a gateway:
•
The central gateway control unit (CGW) (A2) routes the
respective messages from the exterior, interior, frame,
telematics and diagnostic CAN (CAN 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10).
•
The modular switch panel (MSF) control unit (A43) acts as a
gateway between the interior CAN (CAN 2), the ASIC data bus
(ASIC) and the three LIN data buses to the button groups on
the multifunction steering wheel, the left multifunction
control lever and the level control operating unit.
•
The Electronic Brake Control (EBS) control unit (A10b) or
(A10c), depending on the version, sends the messages from
the frame CAN (CAN 3) to the front axle brake CAN (CAN 6a),
the rear axle brake CAN (CAN 6b), the brake CAN ESP“ (CAN
6d) as well as, where applicable, the trailer CAN (EBS) (CAN
11) and vice versa.
•
The drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) acts as an interface
between the frame CAN (CAN 3) and the drive train CAN
(CAN 4).
2.3 CAN neutral points and bus terminating resistors
Because of the high transfer rates on high>
there may be some reflections in the lines. Bus termination
resistors are used to avoid reflections that would lead to the
falsification of actual information. The characteristic impedance
of the electrical line is important for the bus termination resistor.
The total bus terminating resistor on a high>speed CAN data bus is
60 ].
In the neutral points for the cab instrument panel CAN bus (Z1)
and frame CAN bus (Z3) the bus terminating resistors are
integrated into the neutral points. The drive CAN bus neutral
point (Z4) only includes those ferrite elements that are also
installed in the neutral points for interference suppression of
high>frequency interference pulses.
The LIN data bus is an inexpensive serial subbus, which replaces
the CAN data bus in the area of uncritical data transfer. The
voltage supply for the LIN data bus is 12 V. This is realized
internally in the control units through voltage dividers. Signals are
transmitted through a single>
kBaud. Communication refers to ID>based communication. All
subscribers connected to the LIN data bus receive the message,
but only one subscriber responds to it.
A LIN data bus subscriber never sends information by itself, as is
the case, for example with a CAN data bus subscriber. Subscribers
of the LIN data bus only ever respond to a query.
wire line. The max. data rate is 20
speed CAN data buses,
The bus terminator on the exterior CAN (CAN 1) is realized by
using bus terminating resistors within the central gateway control
unit (CGW) (A2) and the Electronic Air>
control unit (A18). Located in both control units is a 120 ] resistor
each. The parallel connection then yields a total bus terminating
resistance of 60 ].
In the diagnostic CAN (CAN 10) the bus terminator is realized by a
60 ] resistor in the central gateway control unit (CGW) (A2).
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
The previously familiar ASIC data bus system is also used in the
new Actros.
The ASIC data bus (ASIC) belongs to the so>called subbuses. In
contrast to conventional switches which switch via their own
contacts and are connected to their components via separate
electrical lines (e.g. motors, solenoid valves, switch inputs, lighting
devices), the ASIC data bus performs these tasks.
The electronics installed in the ASIC signal switches notifies the
modular switch panel (MSF) control unit (A43) the following via
the ASIC data bus (ASIC):
fswitch position (open, closed, operated, not operated)
fFunctionality (normally closed contact, normally open
contact, changeover contact)
fSystem affiliation (e.g. headlamp cleaning system button,
Each ASIC signal switch is connected over three contacts (pins) to
the ASIC data bus (ASIC), and it is evaluated by the modular switch
panel (MSF) control unit (A43). It is thus possible to install each
ASIC signal switch at any arbitrary point on the individual switch
modules.
For currents up to a maximum of 20 A there continues to be load
switches which as before switch via their own contacts and are
connected to their components through electrical lines.
These load switches are only connected to the switch panel via the
ASIC contacts for separate background lighting.
Virtual control units are not equipped with their own housing.
They are integrated into the hardware and software of other
control units. In Star Diagnosis and the instrument cluster control
unit (ICUC) (A1) they appear as independent control units.
Among the virtual control units are the central data memory
(CDS) (A2 a1), the communications interface (COM) control unit
(A2 a2) and the maintenance system (MS) control unit (A2 a3),
which are all integrated into the central gateway control unit
(CGW) (A2).
With the aid of the central data memory (CDS) (A2 a1) the
parameters for the electronic control units can be reset to
manufacturer default settings.

6Safety strategy
Several control units have a redundant connection over LIN or
CAN data buses. The redundant connection serves as an
emergency communication, if the actual CAN connection
malfunctions. The use of redundant LIN or CAN data buses is
dependent on the safety relevance of each system.
The service brake system, for example has a redundant CAN data
bus connection between the axle modulators.
LIN data buses serve as redundancies between the sensor and
actuator module, cab (SCA) control unit (A7) and the sensor and
actuator module, chassis (SCH) control unit (A8) as well as
between the instrument cluster control unit (ICUC) (A1) and the

Saving service messages in the service messages memory
The service messages memory:
fis a ring memory, in which the data of up to 30 consecutive
service messages can be stored,
i Here, the next service message with the highest urgency
is then stored. If the data memory capacity has been
reached, then the oldest entries are deleted first.
fdocuments the first>time occurrence of a service message
and
fsaves the urgency level of the service message, the date, the
maintenance interval travel distance, the kilometer reading
of the speedometer and the relative life cycle consumption.
fsaves the major assembly designation and
fdocuments whether a service message was confirmed.
Saving service life data, forecast data, maintenance memory data
and parameters in internal memory:
In the internal memory:
fthe service life and forecast data are always saved after
switching off the ignition or after every operating hour,
fthe data are preserved after the ignition is switched off,
fthe maintenance memory data are stored after a
maintenance operation was reset for a maintenance item,
fthe service memory data are saved when a message appears
or is confirmed,
fparameters are saved again after a change is made and the
Parameterization mode is exited and
fthe new parameters are also stored in the mirror memory of
the instrument cluster control unit (ICUC) (A1) to enable
parameterization to be conducted when a control unit is
replaced.
Saving service life data, forecast data, maintenance memory data
and parameters in mirror memory:
The mirror memory is a nonvolatile memory in the instrument
cluster (ICUC) (A1), in which all the important service life data and
parameters are saved every 5 operating hours.
If the central gateway control unit (CGW) (A2) has to be replaced,
then the data from the mirror memory in the instrument cluster
control unit (ICUC) (A1) can be copied into the new central
gateway control unit (CGW) (A2). The parameterization of the
central gateway control unit (CGW) (A2) is restored separately
through the central data memory (CDS) in the instrument cluster
(ICUC) (A1).
Storing faults and text messages in the diagnostic trouble code
memory
The diagnostic trouble code memory stores any fault or text
message that appears for the first time.
Consecutive new entries are stored one after the other.

Service messages
Service messages are text warnings that indicate upcoming
maintenance operations. They contain the "service date" and
"remaining driving distance" forecast data for the listed
maintenance item or its urgency status (e.g. Service due).
They are automatically generated by the maintenance system
(WS) as per their urgency status and shown on the multifunction
display (A1 p1).
If there are any service messages pending, they are shown each
time the ignition is switched on along with any other pending
messages. Service messages can only be canceled by
acknowledging them.
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –

fEarly warning
fService due
fService now (can be acknowledged)
fService now (cannot be acknowledged)
i Any acknowledgeable service messages has to be
acknowledged. The associated service dates have to be observed
and the maintenance operations have to be carried out.
If service messages are skipped, the operational and road safety of
the vehicle can be jeopardized. If a maintenance operation is
carried out late or not at all, the wear at the vehicle or at the
major assemblies will increase at any rate.

As long as the life cycle consumption is still below the forecasting
start, no forecast data are calculated. There is not yet a sufficient
amount of information below the forecasting start to be able to
calculate reliable forecast data.
After each reset the forecast data are marked "not predictable"
by the base parameterization. After exceeding the forecasting
start, the predictions are calculated based on the current life cycle
consumption values.
The forecasting start for accumulated, directly measured
maintenance items and for time>
h operating time.
Forecasting
The forecast data are calculated individually for each
maintenance item. As a result, the service dates of the individual
maintenance items do not have a fixed time interval between one
another.
The prognosis calculation is based on the following input
parameters:
fTotal time
fOperating time
fDistance
fLife cycle consumption
The service date of the time>based servicing scheme is exclusively
specified via the parameterizable time maintenance grid. The
forecast data are issued on the multifunction display (A1 p1) in
the instrument cluster (ICUC) (A1).
Thus, the workshop equipment is optimally utilized.
The forecast data for the remaining total time and the remaining
driving distance apply exactly to each service date of a
maintenance item and represent the remainder values until the
due date.
The individual service date for each maintenance item is the point
in time at which the next maintenance is due.
i This applies provided the workshop equipment is used with a
constant load.
If maintenance items are close to each other, then a decision
should be reached in consultation with the customer as to
whether they can be conducted together during a maintenance
visit to the workshop.
The life cycle consumption increases irrespective of the load of
the maintenance item in proportion to the elapsed time.
The service date depends exclusively on the calculated remaining
total time. The remaining total time is calculated beginning with
the start of the total time calculation.

General information
The life cycle consumption calculation provides information on
the degree to which the workshop equipment is worn out, and
which one should be replaced or repaired during maintenance.
The life cycle consumption calculation determines 4 life cycle
consumption values, which are calculated anew during each
calculation cycle:
fLife cycle consumption based on vehicle load, based on
calculation method for:
> directly measured maintenance items and
> accumulating maintenance items.
fLife cycle consumption based on the drive time limit,
fLife cycle consumption based on the travel distance
limitation,
fLife cycle consumption based on operating time,
Central gateway control unit (CGW),
component description
The workshop equipment is worn out if a life cycle consumption
of 100% is reached.
An exception is the time>based servicing scheme, which has fixed
maintenance intervals that are independent from loads and
driving distance.
The life cycle consumption is the basis for forecasting.
i Very precise, earlier prognoses are possible in the event of
regular operations in regard to loads and driving distance over a
long period of time. If operations vary greatly, the prognosis
variation is higher. The forecasts become increasingly more
accurate as total vehicle operating time increases.
Once the four life cycle consumption values have been evaluated,
the maintenance system (WS) provides the highest value as a
forecasting life cycle parameter.

1General
With transmission automation there a convenience shifting
system available over which gear selection as well as declutching
and engaging of the clutch take place automatically. It contains a
fully automated manual transmission, based on a constant>
transmission, with automated clutch operating system. The clutch
operation takes place over a pneumatically actuated centrally
located clutch operator.
Synchronization does not take place via a blocking
synchronization as on a synchromesh transmission but is realized
instead by braking or accelerating the countershaft in a controlled
manner. As a result can be widened for the same dimensions of
the transmission gears and thus higher torques and outputs
transmitted. Passive safety is also increased due to reducing the
burden for the driver.

Optimum gear selection supports an economic and fuel>
driving style. All the shift operations take place in the optimum
rpm range, minimizing wear on the transmission and engine.
Faults during shifting are ruled out and it is no longer possible to
over rev the engine. After switching on the ignition the automatic
mode of transmission automation is always activated irrespective
of which mode was last selected (manual or automatic). The
option of activating a manual or automatic shift mode with the
transmission mode button (M/A) (S23 s3) on the RH multifunction
control lever (S23) has been retained. 12 forwards gears, 4 reverse
gears and neutral can be engaged.
The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) is the central control unit
for the transmission and the clutch. It contains the software
modules for controlling the transmission and clutch actors.
The following sensor signals are read in directly amongst others:
The pneumatic central clutch release bearing directly actuates the
mechanical clutch components, takes on disengaging the clutch
and engaging the clutch and contains the clutch travel sensor
(B503).

Functions
5.1 Engine management (MCM) control unit (A4)
The engine management (MCM) control unit (A4) includes the
software module for torque and rotational speed actuation of the
engine and therefore also implements requests from other
control units on the rotational speed and torques for switching,
starting off and stopping.
5.2 Drive control (CPC) control unit (A3)
The drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) is modular in design and
it contains the following software modules:
fSoftware module for drive control; it comes with extended
A thermostatically regulated transmission cooling with the
following components is used as special equipment:
fTransmission cooler with a transmission cooling fan (M19)
(located in the direction of travel on the right, next to the
cooling module)
fTransmission oil lines
fThermostat element with spring from the shape memory
alloy (FGL)
For transmission oil temperatures above 80∞C the spring force of
the spring closes the cooler protection valve (bypass). The
transmission oil flows through the transmission cooler and is
cooled by the airstream.
5.3 Modular switch panel (MSF) control unit (A43)
The modular switch panel (MSF) control unit (A43) reads in the
operation of the back
wheel button group (S110) or the right multifunction steering
wheel button group (S111).
5.4 Tachograph (TCO) (P1)
The tachograph (TCO) (P1) reads in the way and speed sensor
(B18) and evaluates its signal.
5.5 IC control unit (ICUC) (A1)
The IC (ICUC) control unit (A1) shows the driver information over
the multifunction display (A1 p1).
If the transmission oil temperature increases further, the
transmission cooling fan (M19) located on the transmission cooler
is switched on from 90∞C over the SCA (SCA) control unit (A7).
For transmission oil temperatures below 80∞C the spring opens the
cooler protection valve. The transmission oil flows uncooled over
the bypass back into the transmission.
In the case of an excessively high transmission oil pressure the
i
cooler and the transmission protection valve open and allow the
oil to flow uncooled over a bypass back into the transmission.

Twelve forwards gears, 4 reverse gears and neutral can be
engaged.
Automatic operation
(the optimal gear (the required gear specification) is determined
by the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3))
Gear selection is dependent on the following influencing
variables:
fGround speed (only relevant for the start>off gear)
fAccelerator pedal position (specified torque)
fLoad condition of engine
fOperating point of the target gear
fStarting speed of the transmission
fOperation of the permanent brake
fLoad condition of the vehicle
fShift program

Difference to automatic mode:
fThe shifting operations must be initiated by the driver, that
is the driver determines the shift point and shift direction.
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
Operation of the driving functions
The driving functions assist the driver in daily driving to drive with
a more fuel economy. They increase the ride comfort and support
him in difficult situations.
Selectable driving functions are:
f EcoRoll mode,
fuel>saving driving style through automatic shifting into the
transmission neutral position "N" when the accelerator is
not actuated
f Rocking mode,
recess
fCrawl mode, for automatic starting moving when releasing
the service brake and continued crawling without actuating
the accelerator pedal.
If the pre
control unit (A3) requests the neutral position from the
transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) via the drive train CAN (CAN
4). The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) actuates the
transmission positioner (Y900) to open the clutch. After successful
opening of the clutch, read in over the clutch position sensor
(B503), the transmission positioner (Y900) is actuated to engage
neutral. After ending the switching the transmission (TCM)
control unit (A5) transmits the engaged neutral to the drive
control (CPC) control unit (A3) via the drive train CAN (CAN 4).
i Based on the reduced engine speed a somewhat lower
steering assist can occur and therefore greater steering forces in
certain driving situations, for example on slightly curved
downslopes. The operation or road safety is not endangered by
this.
>conditions are fulfilled then the drive control (CPC)

EcoRoll mode
Preconditions
fEcoRoll function activated
fGround speed was > 35 km/h and is > 25 km/h (hysteresis)
fAccelerator not operated
fService brake or permanent brake not actuated
fDriver assistance systems not in control mode
fBrake assistant systems not in control mode
fPower take
fVariable speed limiter maximum speed not exceeded
fCC speed tolerance not exceeded
The crawl function is always switched on after an engine start and
is activated after first moving off.
The crawl function is deactivated under the following conditions:
fThe crawl function is switched off over the IC (ICUC) control
unit (A1)
fThe transmission in neutral for longer than 2 s
fThe parking brake is tightened
fThe rocking mode is activated
fDriver assistance systems switch into control mode
fIdle speed > 700 rpm
fThreat of clutch overloading
fAn excessively high air drag and rolling resistance
fAn excessively high tire grip
i The crawl function is similar in its behavior to an automatic
torque converter. Since the function is realized over the clutch the
function is not wear>free and the vehicle in the slip range of the
clutch is not capable of permanently crawling.
The crawl function consists of 2 parts:
fIn gears 1 to 6, R1 and R2, self>
releasing the service brake (only for an active crawl function)
fIn gears 1 to 6, R1 and R2 further crawling (=freewheeling)
for a non>actuated accelerator pedal
The driving off dosing occurs for first driving off over the
accelerator pedal. The system is taught in in the process to the
torque prescribed by the driver. After the first "real" driving
determination of the crawling torque depends on the determined
vehicle mass and incline in the driving lane.
i If driving with a trailer is recognized over the trailer
recognition the mass and incline dependent crawling torque is
reset in the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) and teaching in
occurs again during first driving off.
Rocking mode is activated over the rocking mode button (S938).
If rocking mode has been activated the transmission control
changes from automatic into manual mode.
Accelerator pedal requests are implemented more directly and
the clutch is opened more rapidly for a non>actuated accelerator
pedal. The clutch is closed quickly again as soon as the accelerator
pedal is actuated again. Through repeated actuation and release
of the accelerator pedal can put the vehicle into a rocking mode
condition and in this way can rock the vehicle free out if a hollow.

Back>up mode represents a last emergency function for engaging
gears for a vehicle standstill. The operating commands for
navigation are entered in the menu tree multifunction display (A1
p1) in the IC (ICUC) control unit (A1) over the LH multifunction
steering wheel button group (S110) and the RH multifunction
steering wheel button group (S111).
The modular switch panel (MSF) control unit (A43) reads in the
switching commands from the LH multifunction steering wheel
button group (S110) and the RH multifunction steering wheel
button group (S111), evaluates them and transmits appropriate
CAN messages via the interior CAN (CAN 2), the central gateway
(CGW) control unit (A2) and the frame CAN (CAN 3) to the drive
control (CPC) control unit (A3).
The drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) evaluates the switching
request from the driver, determines the targeted gear to be
switched and, for release, transmits appropriate CAN messages
via the drive train CAN (CAN 4) to the transmission (TCM) control
unit (A5).
Functions
The following switching positions can be selected in back>
mode:
The actuation of the clutch is controlled automatically as long as
no malfunction is present. A malfunction would result in
automatic clutch operation being disabled.
i If gear selection was not enabled, a shift to "neutral" is always
enabled.

Displaying shift status
The drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) transmits the information
for indication of the switching condition to the IC (ICUC) control
unit (A1) via the frame CAN (CAN 3).
To do this the transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) permanently
transmits the CAN messages with information about the condition
of the transmission (for example the engaged gear, the possible
gear) to the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) via the drive train
CAN (CAN 4). Before execution of the shift operation the drive
control (CPC) control unit (A3) transmits the targeted gear request
(determined from the automatic gear selection or the gear
selected by the driver) to the transmission (TCM) control unit (A5).
The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) transmits the confirmed
targeted gear and the engaged current gear to the drive control
(CPC) control unit (A3) .
The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) transmits CAN messages
with information concerning the condition of the transmission
(for example on the switched gear, the possible gear, temperature
of the transmission oil) to the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3)
via the drive train CAN (CAN 4).
W26.21>1118>76
The IC (ICUC) control unit (A1) receives the CAN messages and
generates the following displays in the multifunction display (A1
p1):
fdisplay of the direction of travel and / or the engaged gear
fdisplay of the gearshift recommendation or to engaged gear
fdisplay of the transmission mode
The previous display is retained during the shift operation. The
current display only takes place when the shift operation is
concluded.
During the teach>in process appropriate CAN messages are
i
transmitted with information for display of the active teach>in
process. Also in back>up mode all CAN messages are transmitted,
as in normal mode, via the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3)
and the frame CAN (CAN 3) to the IC (ICUC) control unit (A1).
The drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) decides over a warning
emission to the driver. If a warning emission is necessary, the drive

message with the information for output of warning tones to the
IC (ICUC) control unit (A1) via the frame CAN (CAN 3).
The IC (ICUC) control unit (A1) receives the CAN messages from
the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) and generates acoustic
messages whose output takes place over the center speaker (B50).

General information
One can select between a manual transmission mode (manual
operation) or an automatic transmission mode (automatic
operation). In automatic operation there is a standard switching
program (A) and either the shift program (A power) or the shift
program
(A economy) available depending on the vehicle and transmission
design.
Automatic transmission mode
The transmission automation is fitted with a standard shift
program:
fA, with kickdown, accelerator pedal curve standard, CC
standard, maximum speed of 89.8 km/h, function EcoRoll
which can be switched off
The driving specific shift programs have the following significant
properties:
fA power, switchings take place at an about 100 rpm higher
rotational speed in comparison with a standard shift
program and dynamic clutch matching for driving off
fA economy, no kickdown possible, EcoRoll cannot be
switched off, maximum speed of 85 km/h, accelerator pedal
curve and max. engine torque lowered, CC Softcruise
i Selection of the automatic transmission mode takes place over
the transmission mode button (M/A) (S23 s3) on the RH
multifunction control lever (S23).
Manual transmission mode
In manual transmission mode the shift operations are initiated by
the driver over it. This means that the driver determines the shift
point and the switching direction. The kickdown function is not
available.

1General
The transmission control (TCM) control unit (A5) is, as the
interface to the transmission, the central control electronics for
shift operation of a gear and actuation of the clutch.
It controls the entire shift operation and in the process performs
the following tasks:
fSwitching the switching groups of the transmission
fMeasuring and evaluating the shift status and operating
condition of the transmission
fMeasuring and evaluating the shift status and operating
Actuation of the components cylinder valve gear extend solenoid
(Y900 y8), gear cylinder retract solenoid valve (Y900 y9), splitter
group extend solenoid valve (Y900 y6), splitter group retract
solenoid valve (Y900 y7), range group retract solenoid valve (Y900
y12), range group extend solenoid valve (Y900 y13), gate cylinder
extend solenoid valve (Y900 y10), gate cylinder retract solenoid
valve (Y900 y11) takes place over electrical shift signals from the
transmission control (TCM) control unit (A5).
The sequence of actuation is carried out as per a specified
sequence corresponding to the gear to be shifted. The solenoid
valves control the admission and release of air into/out of the
working spaces of the associated gate shift cylinder (1), range
group shift cylinder (2), gear cylinder (3) and splitter group shift
cylinder (4). In the process their piston rods assume a defined
position and operate the associated shift mechanism for shifting
the splitter, range group, gear and gate.
The transmission control (TCM) control unit (A5) which is located
above the overall network is in constant data exchange with other
control units which provide switching relevant data.
It is in direct connection with the drive control (CPC) control unit
(A3) and the engine management (MCM) control unit (A4) via the
drive train CAN (CAN 4). Also requests from the transmission
control (TCM) control unit (A5) to other control units (e.g.
rotational speed requests to the engine) are transmitted via the
drive train CAN (CAN 4).
Actuation of the components
(Y900 y1), clutch slow open solenoid valve (Y900 y2), clutch rapid
close solenoid valve (Y900 y3), clutch rapid open solenoid valve
(Y900 y4) occurs over electrical shift signals from the transmission
control (TCM) control unit (A5).
The solenoid valves control the aeration and ventilation of the
pneumatic central clutch release bearing (7). The pneumatic
central clutch release bearing (7) opens or closes the clutch or
regulates the clutch at a particular position.
3.2 Switch the range group
Condition: the neutral position of gear cylinder (3) was detected.
The range group is switched through actuation of the range
group retract solenoid valve (Y900 y12) or the range group extend
solenoid valve (Y900 y13).
The splitter group is switched through actuation of the splitter
group extend solenoid valve (Y900 y6) or splitter group retract
solenoid valve (Y900 y7).
Shifting the gate
3.4
The gate is switched through actuation of the gate cylinder
retract solenoid valve (Y900 y11).
i There is a spring in the shift mechanism to reset the
transmission shift rod. This ensures that there is the necessary
return force present for a non> actuated gate cylinder retract
solenoid valve (Y900 y11). The return force of the spring is also
supported as required through actuation of the gate cylinder
extended solenoid valve (Y900 y10).
The gears are switched through actuation of the gate cylinder
extend solenoid valve (Y900 y8) or the gate cylinder retract
solenoid valve (Y900 y9). The shift operation starts from the
neutral position.
i The rotational speed of the countershaft must be aligned with
the rotational speed of the main shaft before switching the gear.
This occurs for upshifting through actuation of the countershaft
brake solenoid valve (Y900 y5) as well as for downshifting
through raising the engine speed for a closed clutch.
3.6 Shifting gears in towing mode
Towing mode is only possible in back>up mode and if the electrical
and pneumatic components are functioning correctly. Towing
mode comprises automatic shifting of the high>speed range
group and of the neutral position.

4Detecting the shift status and operating condition of the
transmission
To monitor the shift status and operating condition of the
transmission, the following sensors are read in by the transmission
(TCM) control unit (A5):
The travel and speed sensor (B18) detects the rotational speed of
the transmission output shaft over Hall sensors.
The main shaft rpm sensor (B501) detects the rotational speed and
the direction of rotation of the main shaft over Hall sensors.
The countershaft rpm sensor (B502) detects the rotational speed
of the countershaft over Hall sensors.
The clutch travel sensor (B503) detects the release travel of the
clutch.
The range group travel sensor (B504) detects the position of the
range group shift cylinder (2) over a tappet.
The transmission oil temperature sensor (B505) records the
temperature of the transmission oil.
The splitter group travel sensor (Y900 b1) indirectly detects the
position of the splitter group shift cylinder (4) over a bias attached
to the side on the shift fork.
The gear cylinder travel sensor (Y900 b2) and gate cylinder (Y900
b3) detects the position of the piston rods for the shift cylinder for
the switching groups and internally generates a pulse width
modulated (PWM) signal, which is proportional to the release
travel of the piston rod of the shift cylinder.
4.1 Evaluating the shift status and operating condition of the
transmission
The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) determines the shift
status and operating condition of the transmission from the
sensor signals.
Together with other data relevant to shifts it performs further
evaluations, such as monitoring the shiftability of the desired
gear. This information is transmitted via the drive train CAN (CAN
4) to the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) which requests a
targeted gear from the transmission (TCM) control unit (A5). The
transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) ensures rapid
synchronization of the rotational speeds and engaging of the
desired gear through actuation of the solenoid valves for the
respective cylinder. The engaged current gear is transmitted by
the transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) to the drive control (CPC)
control unit (A3).
The drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) makes the CAN message
available on the frame CAN (CAN 3) or evaluates this itself.
5Measuring and evaluating the shift status and operating
condition of the clutch
The clutch travel sensor (B503) detects the position of the
pneumatic central clutch release bearing (7) and internally
generates a pulse width modulation signal for further evaluation.
The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) reads in the signal of the
clutch travel sensor (B503), evaluates this and therefore
continuously detects the switching and operating condition of the
clutch.
An integral clutch regulation in the transmission (TCM) control
unit (A5) determines the optimal clutch position according to this
information. Through actuation of the solenoid valves for the
clutch operation the clutch position is set and reports back the
drive control (CPC) control unit (A3). Requests to the engine to set
the rotational speed and torque is transmitted fitting to the clutch
position.

2. Open clutch and relax drivetrain
3. Splitter group switches over
4. Close clutch
5. Build up the engine torque again
8Starting off
To start off the transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) receives
information from the drive control (CPC) control unit (A3) about
the accelerator pedal position and appropriately controls the
closing process of the clutch. The engine is loaded through a
closing process of the clutch and this builds up a respective engine
torque. The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) also monitors at
the same time to ensure that the engine is not overloaded.
10Torque curves
Shown: Torque curve for 1st gear on
transmission 715.352/371
If there is threat of overloading the transmission (TCM) control
unit (A5) opens the clutch slightly.
In the case of difficult startoffs, for example for high weights and
when on a slope the transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) makes
the request to the engine management (MCM) control unit (A4)
to increase the engine speed to make it possible to start off.
9Engine torque adaptation for switching
The engine torque must be reduced or built up again before and
after the switching. In this process the transmission (TCM) control
unit (A5) ensures a rapid but vibration suppressing reduction and

General information
For transmission automation the clutch is controlled
automatically. This control is integrated in the transmission (TCM)
control unit (A5). In this process detection, processing and passing
on of all necessary data for the clutch control is realized. The
following functions are contained in the clutch control:
fDriving off, driving and stopping function: here all processes
are calculated and controlled which are needed for reducing
and building up the torque of the clutch.
fCrawl function: here all processes are calculated and
controlled which concerns regulation of the clutch and
crawling from a standstill and freewheeling.
fAnti Jerking Control: here all processes are calculated and
controlled based on drivetrain model which realizes the
building up and reduction of the engine before and after
shift operation as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
fClutch properties: here all data concerning the properties of
the clutch are gathered, evaluated and made available to
other software functions. To do this the characteristic of the
transferable torque is relevant about the actuation travel of
the clutch, as well as the engagement point and the
temperature behavior of the clutch.
fClutch operation: here the determined clutch position
specified values are implemented in the solenoid actuations
and regulates on the basis of the measured clutch sensor
values.
The function of the automated clutch control is achieved for
The clutch operator takes over calculation of the set variables for
actuating the clutch.
The transmission (TCM) control unit (A5) directly actuates the
solenoid valves for operation of the clutch over integral output
stages:
fSlowly close clutch solenoid valve (Y900 y1)
fSlowly open clutch solenoid valve (Y900 y2)
fQuickly close clutch solenoid valve (Y900 y3)
fQuickly open clutch solenoid valve (Y900 y4)
i
The solenoid valves for operation of the pneumatic central
clutch release bearing (1) are integrated in the transmission
positioner (Y900).
If clutch solenoid valve open slowly (Y900 y2) or clutch solenoid
valve open quickly (Y900 y4) is actuated the pneumatic central
clutch release bearing (1) has compressed air applied to it over
the transmission positioner (Y900) and the clutch opens.
i
The pneumatic central clutch release bearing is located
concentrically around the transmission input shaft.
The clutch regulation monitors opening and closing of the clutch
over the sensor connector position (B503) directly read in by the
transmission (TCM) control unit (A5).

TRANSMISSION 715 in MODEL 963 with CODE (G5G) Mercedes PowerShift 3
TRANSMISSION 715 in MODEL 964 with CODE (G5G) Mercedes PowerShift 3
General information
For upshifting the countershaft must be braked for rpm
compensation between the countershaft and main shaft. The
rotational speeds are reported over the countershaft rpm sensor
(B502) and the main shaft rpm sensor (B501) to the transmission
(TCM) control unit (A5) so that the brake application can be
exactly regulated by the transmission (TCM) control unit (A5).
For regulation the countershaft brake solenoid valve (Y900 y5) is
actuated appropriately.
That is it is possible to change several times between a brake
position and release position during a brake application until the
rpm between the countershaft and main shaft is compensated.
A distinction is made between two function positions of the
countershaft brake:
fBrake position
fRelease position
Arrow Brake position
If during upshifting rpm reduction of the countershaft is requested by the transmission
(TCM) control unit (A5) the countershaft brake solenoid valve (Y900 y5) is actuated. The
compressed air is controlled over a line from the transmission positioner (Y900) to the
transmission housing front section and from there through the compressed air duct (1) into
the cover on the front side of the piston (2); the mechanical quick vent valve (5) also closes.
The air pressure operates on the piston (2) which presses together the internal plates (3) and
the external plates (4) and thus brakes the countershaft.

– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
If the rpm between the countershaft and main shaft is compensated or the rpm of the
countershaft drop too severely, the countershaft brake solenoid valve (Y900 y5) is no longer
actuated.
After the countershaft brake solenoid valve (Y900 y5) is switched off the space upstream of
the piston (2) is ventilated compressed air duct (1) and as a result the opens the mechanical
quick vent valve (5) and ventilates the space upstream of the piston (2) suddenly.
The centrally located spring>loaded reset pin pushes the piston (2) into the rest position. The
internal plates (3) and the external plates (4) are relieved of load. The countershaft can turn
again freely.

For air>sprung vehicles in driving mode the level control (CLCS)
monitors the frame height and holds this constant at a
parameterized specified level. For stationary vehicles the frame
height can be held constant during loading or unloading of the
vehicle.
The level control (CLCS) primarily consists of the following major
components:
fLevel control (CLCS) control unit (A26)
fFront axle level control valve unit (Y20) (for full air
suspension)
fLevel control valve unit for 2>axle vehicles (Y21) or
level control valve unit for 3>axle vehicles (Y21a)
fLevel control operating unit (S22)
fFront axle pressure sensor (B19) (for full air suspension)
fLeft drive axle pressure sensor (B20)
fRight drive axle pressure sensor (B21)
fLeft drive axle position sensor (B24)
fRight drive axle position sensor (B25)
fFront axle position sensor (B27) (for full air suspension)
Using the level control operating unit (S22) the vehicle frame at
the rear and full air suspension at the front can be individually
adjusted for height for example for loading and unloading
processes. One further operating unit which is mounted in the
body of the vehicle is offered as special equipment. Furthermore
the functions of the level control can be actuated over the
transmitter key (S953) version Multi>
The level control operating unit (S22) is fitted with two memory
keys over which any desired number of frame heights can be
stored.
A height of the vehicle frame individually set through manual
lifting or lowering or according to selection of a stored frame
height is held for a maximum of 60 min for a switched off ignition.
Level regulation (CLCS) is calibrated ex works to a frame height
(driving level) established according to vehicle type.
For vehicles with a low frame height (vehicles with a low jounce
travel due to the construction) a second level (level 2) can be
selected manually apart from the normal level (level 1).
The LH drive axle position sensor (B24) and the RH drive axle
position sensor (B25), as well as full air suspension the front axle
position sensor (B27) permanently report the distance between
the frame and axle on the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26).
The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) evaluates these signals
and actuates the level control valve unit for 2>
or the level control valve unit for 3>axle vehicles (Y21a) on the
drive axle as well as the front axle level control valve unit (Y20) for
full air suspension to maintain the specified level. The valve units
ventilate or aerate the air spring bellows on the axles.
If the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) recognizes reaching
of the specified level base on signals from the LH drive axle
position sensor (B24) and the LH drive axle position sensor (B25) as
well as the front axle position sensor (B27) for full air suspension
recognizes reaching of the specified level it actuates the level
control valve unit for 2>
valve unit for 3>axle vehicles (Y21a) at the drive axle as well as the
front axle level control valve unit (Y20) for full air suspension. The
air spring bellows for the axles are no longer aerated or
ventilated.
Additional functions
The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) also takes over the
following additional functions:
froll control
faxle load measuring device
fmonitoring the fifth>wheel coupling
fstarting>off aid
fthe 2nd driving level
fexternal activation (2nd operating unit)
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
Roll control
The roll control (WR) serves to adapt the chassis damping in a
targeted manner to the respective driving situation and is only
available for air>sprung vehicles since the functionality is stored in
the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26).
Axle load measuring device
The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) determines the axle
load in combination with the special equipment the axle the load
measuring device and allows calling up of the single axle loads
and the total vehicle weight in the multifunction display (A1 p1)
of the IC (ICUC) control unit (A1).
Monitoring of the fifth wheel coupling
A sensor in the fifth wheel coupling determines the distance to
the kingpin or the semitrailer plate with the aid of proximity
switches which react to changes in magnetic flow due to
approaching of metal. The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26)
also checks the connection condition over a dry reed contact.
Starting>off aid
The starting>off aid is a legally permissible traction aid, with which
the axle load of the drive axle may be exceeded by a set value. The
switching on period of the starting>off aid is, however, temporally
dependent on the country or speed>dependent.
2nd driving level
For vehicles with a lower frame height the driver can select
between two frame heights to improve the suspension comfort.
External activation
One further operating unit which is mounted in the body of the
vehicle is offered as special equipment. It is also possible to use
this to operate for a switched off ignition (activation over
operation of the stop button for more than 2 s). Furthermore the
functions of the level control can be actuated over the transmitter

The LH drive axle position sensor (B24) and the RH drive axle
position sensor (B25), as well the front axle position sensor (B27)
for full air suspension permanently send the distance between the
frame and axle on the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26).
The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) evaluates the signals
from the LH drive axle position sensor (B24), the RH drive axle
position sensor (B25) as well as the front axle position sensor (B27)
for full air suspension and initiates an independent control
procedure as soon as there is any deviation from the specified
level.
In order to provide protection before a control procedure for
cornering the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) queries the
central gateway control unit (CGW) (A2) via the exterior CAN
(CAN 1) and the frame CAN (CAN 3) information from the
Electronic Brake Control (EBS) control unit (A10b or A10c) about
the difference in speed of the front wheels.
If there is no cornering the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26)
actuates the level control for 2>axle vehicles valve unit (Y21) or the
level control for 3>axle vehicles valve unit (Y21a) at the drive axle
as well as the front axle level control valve unit (Y20) for full air
suspension according to the deviations in the specified level. The
respective air spring bellows are aerated or ventilated until the LH
drive axle position sensor (B24), the RH drive axle position sensor
(B25) as well the front axle position sensor (B27) for full air
suspension report reaching of the specified level.
Actuation of the valve units takes place for standstill of the vehicle
immediately and in driving mode with a delay of 60 s.
A control procedure which was initiated at standstill of the vehicle
will be completed of the vehicle begins to move.
Every individually initiated control procedure will be interrupted
by actuating the service brake.

The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) receives via the central
gateway (CGW) control unit (A2) the signals from the level control
operating unit (S22) connected to the modular switch panel (MSF)
(A43) and actuates the 2>axle vehicle level control valve unit (Y21)
or the 3>axle vehicle level control valve unit (Y21a) at the drive
axle and, with full air suspension, also actuates the front axle level
control valve unit (Y20). Air is admitted into or vented from the air
spring bellows.
The left drive axle position sensor (B24), right drive axle position
sensor (B25) and front axle position sensor (B27) transmit the
change in frame height to the level control (CLCS) control unit
(A26).
In the multifunction display (A1 p1) of the instrument cluster
(ICUC) control unit (A1), the message "tractor vehicle not at
driving level" is shown and the level control indicator lamp (A1
h14) of the instrument cluster (ICUC) control unit (A1) is actuated.
i The function messages from the level control system are not
displayed if the driver is in the level control menu.
If the vehicle frame and therefore the cargo area has reached the
height of the loading ramp, the stop button (4) must be pressed
and held down to maintain the frame height. If the ignition is
now switched off with the stop button (4) still pressed, the level
control function remains active after the stop button (4) is
released.
i For the frame height to be maintained with the ignition
switched off, an adequate air supply must be available in the
compressed air system for the entire duration. If this is the case,
the required frame height can be held for a maximum of 60
minutes.
During the loading/unloading procedure, the left drive axle
position sensor (B24), right drive axle position sensor (B25) and
front axle position sensor (B27) transmit the change in frame
height to the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26).

fCircuit 15 ON
Raise leading/trailing axle, function sequence
Pressing the leading/trailing axle button (S922) in the modular
switch panel (MSF) (A43) triggers the "raise leading/trailing axle"
function.
The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) receives via the central
gateway (CGW) control unit (A2) the signals from the button
connected to the modular switch panel (MSF) (A43) and, to
prevent overloading of the drive axle, checks the values from the
right drive axle pressure sensor (B21) and left drive axle pressure
sensor (B20).
If the permissible axle load is not exceeded, the level control
(CLCS) control unit (A26) actuates the 3>axle vehicle level control
valve unit (Y21a) with the appropriate commands.
Air is admitted into the lift bellows of the leading/trailing axle up
to max. 8.0 bar via the pressure limiting valve with vent (30.03)
connected to connection 25 of the 3>axle vehicle level control
valve unit (Y21a). The leading/trailing axle is raised.
During the raising procedure, on vehicles with trailing axle the air
spring bellows of the trailing axle are vented to a residual
pressure of 0.5 bar via the 3>axle vehicle level control valve unit
(Y21a) and the pressure limiting valve with vent (30.03). On
vehicles with leading axle, the air spring bellows of the leading
axle are fully vented via the 3>axle vehicle level control valve unit
(Y21a).
A message in the multifunction display (A1 p1) indicates the raised
leading/trailing axle.
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
i On vehicles with partial air suspension, raising the trailing axle
relieves the load on the front axle considerably (approx. 30 to 40
mm above normal level). As a result, there is a risk that the raised
trailing axle could make contact with the ground during driving as
a result of the heavy weight at the rear. The level control (CLCS)
control unit (A26) prevents this by compensating the level at the
drive axle during the raising procedure by admitting air to the air
spring bellows.
Lower leading/trailing axle, function sequence
The "lower leading/trailing axle" function is triggered manually
by pressing the leading/trailing axle button (S922) in the modular
switch panel (MSF) (A43) or when the permissible drive axle load is
reached.
If the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) receives via the
central gateway (CGW) control unit (A2) the signals from the
button connected to the modular switch panel (MSF) (A43) or it
detects on the basis of the signals from the right drive axle
pressure sensor (B21) and left drive axle pressure sensor (B20) that
the permissible axle load has been exceeded, it actuates the 3>axle

fVehicle fully or partially unloaded
The vehicle speed is irrelevant for loading/relieving the
i
leading/trailing axle. The leading/trailing axle is loaded
automatically if during loading the pressure sensors of the drive
axle signal to the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) that the
permissible axle load has been reached.
Relieve leading/trailing axle, function sequence
Pressing the leading/trailing axle button (S922) in the modular
switch panel (MSF) (A43) triggers the "relieve leading/trailing
axle" function.
The level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) receives via the central
gateway (CGW) control unit (A2) the signals from the button
connected to the modular switch panel (MSF) (A43) and, to
prevent overloading of the drive axle, checks the values from the
right drive axle pressure sensor (B21) and left drive axle pressure
sensor (B20).
If the permissible axle load is not exceeded, the level control
control unit actuates the 3>axle vehicle level control valve unit
(Y21a) with the appropriate commands.
The air spring bellows of the leading/trailing axle are vented to a
residual pressure of 0.5 bar via the 3>axle vehicle level control
valve unit (Y21a) and the pressure limiting valve with vent (30.03).
i While the leading/trailing axle is being relieved of load, the
left drive axle position sensor (B24) and right drive axle position
sensor (B25) continuously report the distance between the frame
and axle to the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26). The level
control (CLCS) control unit (A26) interrupts the load>relieving
procedure as soon as a deviation from the specified level occurs.
Air is admitted to the air spring bellows of the drive axle until the
specified level is restored. After this the unloading process is
continued.
A message indicating the load>relieved leading/trailing axle is
shown in the multifunction display (A1 p1) of the instrument
cluster (ICUC) control unit (A1).

Load leading/trailing axle, function sequence
The "load leading/trailing axle" function is triggered by pressing
the leading/trailing axle button (S922) in the modular switch
panel (MSF) (A43) or when the permissible drive axle load is
reached.
If the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26) receives via the
central gateway (CGW) control unit (A2) the signals from the
button connected to the modular switch panel (MSF) (A43) or it
detects on the basis of the signal from the right drive axle pressure
sensor (B21) and left drive axle pressure sensor (B20) that the
permissible axle load has been exceeded, it actuates the 3>axle
vehicle level control valve unit (Y21a) with the appropriate
commands.
The 3>axle vehicle level control valve unit (Y21a) admits air to the
air spring bellows of the leading/trailing axle up to the air
pressure of the air spring bellows of the drive axle. The
leading/trailing axle is loaded.

i This description is based on a 2>axle vehicle of model 963.403
(wheel configuration 4x2) with code (A1A) Front axle air
suspension. All functions and control situations/control states are
identical on the other vehicle models. Only the number of
controlled shock absorbers differs depending on vehicle model
and equipment.
General information
Roll control (WR) is an electronic shock absorber control system
that is used to precisely adapt the damping characteristics to the
respective load, current driving situation and road surface
conditions.
The roll control (WR) function is integrated in the level control
(CLCS) control unit (A26). This means that the existing sensors of
and information from the level control system (CLCS) can also be
used for roll control (WR).
i On vehicles with roll control (WR), the full version of the level
control (CLCS) control unit (A26) is always installed.
The control logic of the roll control (WR) function collects the
variables occurring during the current driving operation, uses
them to calculate the optimum damping requirements and
adjusts the shock absorber characteristics on the basis of this
information.
The functions of the roll control (WR) are enabled using
parameters for each individual axle. Up to four axles can be
actuated.
Two shock absorbers, each with an electrically actuated
proportional valve, are always fitted at each axle. They are
actuated steplessly at each axle. On vehicles with roll control but
without code (A1A) Front axle air suspension, shock absorbers
with proportional damping valves are also fitted at the steel>
sprung front axles.
From these signals, the level control (CLCS) control unit (A26)
calculates the damping requirements of the shock absorbers
within a few milliseconds.
The left 1st front axle proportional valve (Y12), right 1st front axle
proportional valve (Y13), left 1st rear axle proportional valve
(Y16) and right 1st rear axle proportional valve (Y17) are actuated
at the appropriate shock absorbers, taking handling
characteristics, vehicle condition, outside interference and vehicle
response into consideration.
Depending on actuation, the proportional valves steplessly
i
adjust the oil flow rate for the rebound and compression stage in
the shock absorbers.
In order to actuate, the proportional valves must first be
energized with their maximum current of 2 A (pushing). There will
be no adjustment of the shock absorber behavior if energization
occurs without prior pushing.
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
fLoad condition
The load condition is detected using the bellows pressures at
the rear axle. Damping is increased as the load increases.
fVehicle speed
Damping is increased as the vehicle speed increases.
fLevel control
If level control occurs while the vehicle is stationary, the
shock absorbers are set to the lowest level in order to reduce
friction during the raising and lowering procedure.
fChange in roll angle
Roll behavior is assessed using the left and right rear jounce
and rebound travel. Appropriate adjustment is performed
especially when vehicles with a high center of gravity
perform lane>changing maneuvers, .
fPitch angle
The pitch angle is determined by means of the rear position
sensors. Sprung mass vibrations, especially when braking
and driving off and also on uneven road surfaces, are
reduced by increasing damping.
Lateral acceleration is determined using the difference in
rotational speed and the average speed of the front wheels.
If lateral acceleration is detected, damping is increased
slightly.
fChange in lateral acceleration
Examples of this criterion are lane changes and sudden
evasive maneuvers. The greater the change in acceleration
is, the higher the damping requirement will be. This is
intended to harden the shock absorbers even more quickly
in the case of rapid steering movements than is possible by
only changing the roll angle.
fLongitudinal acceleration
If the engine specified torque increases, damping is
increased in order to counter a squatting motion of the
vehicle.
fDeceleration
When the service brake is actuated, damping is increased in
order to counter the expected pitching of the front axle.
If the vehicle is subjected to the natural pitching frequency
(e.g. resulting from surface undulations), increasing
damping will counter jerking of the body.
fRoad surface conditions
The frequency and travel of axle motion are detected by the
position sensors. If a "poor road surface" is detected,
damping is reduced in order to improve ride comfort. Here,
it is the high
consideration in particular.
i Usually, several criteria occur simultaneously when the
vehicle is in motion. The highest calculated damping
requirement is output as the damping value for the shock
absorbers.

fFail>safe condition
If the proportional valves are not energized (if the vehicle is
stationary or there is a system failure) or if the current drops
below the minimum current of 700 mA, damping
corresponding to the series ID is applied (fail>safe condition).
i If a shock absorber fails, only the shock absorbers of the
axle concerned are switched to the fail>safe condition.

General information
The Electronic Brake Control (EBS) system is based on a purely
pneumatic dual>circuit brake system, which is overlaid by an
Electronic Brake Control system. The pneumatic dual>circuit brake
system is divided into the redundant front axle brake circuit and
the redundant rear axle brake circuit.
In the event of a partial or total failure of the electronic brake
control system, the wheel brakes are actuated with the relevant
redundant brake pressure (b) by purely pneumatic means.
The trailer control valve (Y6 or Y6a) is equipped with its own
electropneumatic brake circuit and is connected to the redundant
front>axle brake circuit for the redundancy case.
The pedal travel of the brake pedal is electronically recorded by
the brake value sensor (B17 or B17a) and forwarded to the
Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c) .
The Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c)
uses the values to compute the specified deceleration and the
brake pressure (a) required for this.
The braking pressure (a) required to fulfill the specified
deceleration is transmitted via the front axle brake CAN (CAN 6a)
to the front axle axle modulator (A20 or A20a) and via the rear
axle brake CAN (CAN 6b) to the rear axle axle modulator (A21 or
A21a), which then regulates brake pressure (a) on the axles. The
Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c) directly
applies the brake pressure (a) required at the trailer control valve
(Y6 or Y6a).
The Electronic Brake Control (EBS) primarily consists of the
following major components:
fElectronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c)
fFront axle axle modulator (A20 or A20a)
fRear axle axle modulator (A21 or A21a)
fTrailer control valve (Y6 or Y6a)
fBrake wear sensors (B1, B2, B7, B8)
fBrake value sensor (B17 or B17a)
fRpm sensors (B14, B14, B15, B16)
fPressure limiting valve with ventilation (30.03)
During the entire regulating process, the pressure sensors in the
front axle axle modulator (A20 or A20a), rear axle axle modulator
(A21 or A21a) and the trailer control valve (Y6 or Y6a) monitor the
applied brake pressure (a) and report this to the
Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c).
The Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c)
uses the signals from the rpm sensors (B13, B14, B15, B16) to
compute the rpm change of the wheels. The Electronic Brake
Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c) uses the rpm change to
detect the actual deceleration of the vehicle. If there is a
difference between the actual deceleration and the specified
deceleration, braking is adjusted by an appropriate control
command.
Automatic tire matching continuously compensates for
differences between the actual tire sizes and thus between the
rolling circumferences of the rpm>sensed wheels. The wheel
speeds are matched to the calibrated
vehicle speeds of the instrument cluster control unit (ICUC) (A1). If
impermissible tire pairings are used or if the speed signals vary
significantly, an error message is generated.
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
Differential slip control
The differential slip control is comprised of the following
subfunctions:
fThe deceleration control adjusts the brake pressure level to
achieve the driver's specified deceleration command.
fDepending on the wheel slip, the brake force distribution
ensures the distribution of brake force between the front
and rear axles.
fThe trailer control ensures that the trailer's braking ratio is
both physically sound and legally complies with EU braking
specifications.
fThe lining wear equalization adjusts the brake distribution
between the front and rear axles during uncritical brake
applications in order to prevent differences in wear.
fThe permanent brake integration activates the permanent
brakes installed in the vehicle when the service brakes are
actuated via the CAN bus
i In driving situations with critical adhesion (high wheel
slip), the permanent brake integration is disabled because
the permanent brakes cannot control highly dynamically.
fThe Brake Assist System detects an emergency braking
situation via the operating speed and travel of the brake
pedal and supports the driver by increasing the specified
braking pressure.
fThe wheel brake temperature model uses the brake
pressures, vehicle speed and time to calculate the wheel
brake temperatures, and warns about overheating.
fThe learning function for the brake factor acquires
information about the effectiveness of the wheel brakes
during driving mode and uses this information to optimize
the control functions, particularly the trailer control.
fThe vehicle mass determination uses the engine torque and
the acceleration values calculated from the wheel speeds to
determine the vehicle mass and makes this available to other
systems via the CAN Bus.
The control logic uses the wheel speed behavior to detect
whether one or more wheels are displaying lock>
and decides whether the associated brake pressure should be
lowered, held or raised.
Acceleration slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR function detects whether the drive wheels have a
tendency to spin and counteracts this using the following
controls:
f ASR engine intervention
If both drive wheels tend to lose traction, the drive control
reduces engine torque via the CAN bus in order to reduce the
drive slip.
f Selective ASR brake intervention
If an individual drive wheel tends to have an increased drive
slip, a selective brake intervention occurs over the rear axle
axle modulator (A21 or A21a)
f ASR shutoff
To improve traction off>road or in deep snow, the
acceleration skid control can be switched off via the
acceleration skid control button (S45).
Drag torques occur in the drivetrain when the driver abruptly
releases the accelerator pedal or engages the clutch too quickly
when shifting down gears. If a defined slip condition is exceeded,
the engine torque is temporarily increased depending on the
wheel speeds of the drive wheels. This prevents the drive wheels
from locking up or slipping on the road.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP“)
Due to their high center of gravity and large mass, commercial
vehicles tend to tilt and over or understeer when changing lanes,
carrying out evasive maneuvers and cornering. If there is a threat
that the vehicle may oversteer, i.e. the rear end of the vehicle
tends to skid outwards in a curve, the Electronic Stability Program
(ESP“) brakes the outside front wheel. The Electronic Stability
Program (ESP“) counters against understeering of the vehicle by
braking the rear wheel on the inside of the curve and partly by
reducing engine power.
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09 / 2011 –
Stability optimization
Solo semitrailer tractors generally exhibit a very low rear axle load
as a percentage of the whole. In order to guarantee the stability
of the rear end when braking, the deceleration at the front axle is
limited by software measures in certain models. If an EBS
semitrailer is detected, the stability optimization automatically
remains inactive.
Hill holder
The hill holder supports the driver by keeping the
vehicle stationary and, particularly, by not having to operate the
parking brake when starting off on a hill.
The activated hill holder stops the vehicle from rolling away.
When the brake pedal is released while the vehicle is stationary,
the hill holder automatically maintains the brake pressure last
applied at the front and rear axle until the vehicle is driven off
with a gear engaged.
An automatic reverse gear lock is required by law for refuse
vehicles. The parameterizable special module control unit (PSM)
(A22) uses signals from the step plate at the rear of the vehicle to
determine whether it is necessary to activate the reverse gear lock
function.
To ensure that the hill holder cannot be used as a substitute for
the parking brake, the driver must confirm his presence by
applying slight pressure to the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal
when the hill holder is activated. If the Electronic Brake Control
control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c) does not receive any feedback, it
triggers a warning buzzer and then deactivates the hill holder by
releasing the brake pressure.
Comfort > frequent>stop brake
The comfort frequent>stop brake operates in a similar way to the
hill holder and is intended, e.g. for vehicles in municipal use. The
comfort frequent>stop brake automatically releases when
starting>off, when engaging the parking brake or by turning off
the function by switch. In contrast to the hill holder, with an active
comfort frequency>stop brake, a minimum brake pressure of 3.5
bar is applied at all axles.
At the same time, a brake request (3.5 bar on all axles) is provided
to the Electronic Brake Control (EBS) (A10b or A10c) by the
parameterizable special module control unit (PSM) (A22).

Function sequence
When the brake pedal is operated, the sensors in the brake value
sensor (B17 or B17a) record the driver's brake command for the
Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c).
The pneumatic part of the brake value sensor (B17 or B17a)
applies a redundant brake pressure (b) that corresponds to the
pedal travel to the pressure limiting valve with ventilation (30.03)
via connection 22.
iWith tractors, the pressure limiting valve with ventilation
(30.03) limits redundant brake pressure (b) in the front axle
The brake pressure (c) reaches the right>
diaphragm brake cylinder (20.02) via the opened ABS solenoid
valve (Y2), whereby the right wheel is braked.
At the same time, the brake pressure (c) is applied to the left
single>circuit diaphragm brake cylinder (20.02) of the front axle to
brake the left>hand wheel via the 3/2>way valve for auxiliary
braking (33.07) and the opened ABS solenoid valve (Y1).
i If the front>axle brake circuit fails, the 3/2>way valve for
auxiliary braking (33.07) supports the braking effect at the rear
axle. As long as brake pressure (c) from the front axle axle
modulator (A20 or A20a) is available at connection 12 of the 3/2>
way valve for auxiliary braking (33.07) during brake application,
the valve will remain in the basic position and the brake pressure
can flow through freely.
hand single circuit
for stability reasons. As long as the redundant brake pressure (b)
coming from connection 22
does not exceed 3.5 bar, it can freely flow through the pressure
limiting valve with ventilation (30.03).
The redundancy path switching valve integrated into the front
axle axle modulator (A20 or A20a) blocks the redundant brake
pressure (b) from the pressure limiting valve with ventilation
(30.03).
At the same time, the electronics of the Electronic Brake Control
control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c) uses the electric signals from the
brake value sensor to calculate the specified deceleration for the
front and rear axle.
The Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c)
actuates the front axle axle modulator (A20 or A20a) using the
specified deceleration signal and uses this to apply brake pressure
(c) to connections 22 and 21.
To calculate the actual deceleration and wheel slip, the Electronic
Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b or A10c) evaluates the
signals
from the rpm sensors (B13, B14) on the wheels and the
pressure sensor in the front axle axle modulator (A20 or A20a)
during the entire brake application.
If the actual deceleration deviates from the specified
deceleration, the Electronic Brake Control control unit (EBS) (A10b
or A10c) causes the front axle axle modulator (A20 or A20a) to
reduce or increase brake pressure (c).
