1.4 Vehicle Data


The vehicle is equipped with 4 steerable axle groups. Each axle group consists of two wheels.
Definitions:

wheel 1.1 2.4 m wheel 1.2 wheel 2.1 wheel 2.2

axle group 1 axle group 2

front rear
4.45 m
(<==forward) (backward ==>)

axle group 3 axle group 4

wheel 3.1 wheel 3.2 wheel 4.1 wheel 4.2

corner wheel distance 7.7 m

The wheel base of the single axles (wheel 1 and wheel 2) is approx. 2.4 m.
Within one axle group, the axle that is in front of the other when driving forwards has the index .1
(example: Axle group 1 consists of wheels 1.1 and 1.2).
The distance between the axle groups (1 / 2 vs. 3 / 4) is approx. 5.30 m.
The wheel distance is 4.45m.
The cabine is modularly designed and can be mounted at either one of the following positions:
- Front left (standard)
- Front right
- Front left at the side
The cabin is equipped with a turnable seat (0° - 90° - 180°). The main seat position is 90°.
The signals for inverting the rotational direction are supplied redundantly by the central electronics
(safety-oriented, 2 DIs).
The maximum vehicle speed is 30 km/h.
The on-board voltage supply is 24 Volt DC.
The total weight of the vehicle including the load is approx. 125 tons.
The tyre (480/95 R25) width is approx. 480 mm.
For regulating the pump pressure a digital input is supplied by the spreader function.

For the tilt protection the actual steering angle is output to the vehicle PLC both via analogue output and via
CAN message.

For cooling the hydraulic oil a separate hydraulic pump is installed in the vehicle.

Both as pressure filters and as runback filters 10Lm types are planned.

Operating Instructions page 11 of 150
4-Axle Steering System 30.07.2012
SLC 019 647 Ju

1.5 Technical Data of the Steering


The maximum steering angles of the wheels are the following:
Axle group number left-hand bedstop / ° right-hand bedstop /
°
1 25,44 44,8
2 44,8 25,44
3 44,8 25,44
4 25,44 44,8

The "all-wheel" steering program is defined as the standard steering program.

For measuring the actual angles of the steerable wheels, safety angle transducers with steel (VA)
housing, 5m wiring kit, and steel (VA) lever are used.
It is mechanically coupled by a coupling rod (200mm).
The operating range of the angle transducer is 73.8°.

Die special steering program "Diagonal steering" is enabled by the central computer
through a CAN bus message. The safety steering computer confirms the activation
through another CAN bus message.
o In the lower vehicle speed range 0 ... 5 km/h..
o Without load.
o The maximum allowed steering angle is 20° (parametrisable).
The desired steering speed is approx. 10 - 12°/sec.

A safety steering brake force simulator is used for steering setpoint generator.
Alternatively, a safety steering setpoint generator with a hand wheel (Ø 100 mm), which is
integrated in the armrest, is planned as an option. Both possibilities are provided for by the software.

The steering is supplied with hydraulic oil (approx. 70 liter/min) by an electrically pilotable variable
displacement pump (type A10 VO 85 ED72). The hydraulic pump does also supply the spreader function with
approx. 50 liter/min and the "lift" function with approx. 5 liter/min.

The pump design has to provide that with 0V at its control input (e.g. in case of a cable break) it delivers the
maximum pressure and the maximum oil volume.

The required 70 liter/min for the steering are ensured by a prioritizing valve.

The hydraulic pump is secured by a pressure limiting valve set to 180 bar.

Additionally to the nameplate, a label " constrad " will be attached to the hydraulic unit PHY 604 224, which
contains a 15 liter slider.

The following definitions apply to the hydraulic pressure supply for the pressure-driven variable displacement
pump:

o For steering and spreader function: 160 bar

Operating Instructions page 12 of 150
4-Axle Steering System 30.07.2012
SLC 019 647 Ju

o In idle state (no steering or spreader function): 30 bar for the lift function (piloting pressure). The idle
state delay period is set to 10 sec. (parametrisable).

Simultaneous cylinders are used as actuators.

Two proportional hydraulic units consisting of two NG6 each are used for steering valves. The NG6 have
shock valves (200 bar) on their secondary side. For servicing, "Mini" measuring connectors are planned.

Each hydraulic unit (for steering) is equipped with a pressure switch (130 bar / falling).
If one of them falls, the driver is given an optical or acoustical signal.
If both sensors fall (< 130 bar), the traction drive is disabled and the vehicle is braked safely.

The vehicle speed signal is sent to the steering computer via CAN bus. A digital input "Vehicle moving"
(> 2km/h) is also supplied by the central computer for plausibility checking.

At a higher vehicle speed (>15 ...20 km/h) the rear axles are not steered as long as their angle would
be below 5°. This improves the driving dynamics significantly when driving straight ahead.

If a steering or operating system alarm occurs, both a DO signal and a CAN message are output to
the PLC, telling it to disable the traction drive. At the same time the vehicle is braked through the
redundant second braking circuit using 2 to 4 axle brakes
Simultaneous the vehicle through one of the redundant braking circuit (2 / 4 axes) are braked.

1.6 Traction Drive


The traction drive operates through 4 wheels.

The traction drive will be realised by the manufacturer.

1.7 Operational Brake


The straddle carrier is limited up to 6 actively braked wheels.

The parking brake is purely hydraulical.

The operational brake consists of two braking circuits. Both the controller and the electrical power
supply are redundant. The hydraulic pressure (160 bar) is supplied by a pressure-controlled variable
displacement pump (Typ A10VO28DR) and by hydraulic accumulators. It is monitored by redundant
pressure sensors.

The operational brake system is monitored by a total number of 4 pressure switches (105 bar).
If the pressure at any of the pressure switches falls below 105 bar, the traction drive is disabled
and the driver is optically and acoustically alerted.

The braking setpoint generator (brake pedal) is equipped with two analogue potentiometers and two
switching contacts.

The second safety computer also communicates the braking setpoint to the vehicle PLC via CAN bus,
so the traction drive can also deploy its deceleration capability.

By changing the parametrisation, authorised people can change the starting point of the braking force
in the range 0 ... 50 %. This allows for an optimal adjustment of the decelerations of the operational
brake and of the traction drive.

Additionally to the internal handling of the braking setpoint for piloting the braking valves, the
braking setpoint is also normalised and signalised to the traction drive. By changing the parametrisation,
authorised people can also change the starting point of this braking force in the range 0 ... 50 %.
Also the brake pedal position for the full 100% braking force can be parametrised.

1.8 Coming Home Function


The precondition for the "coming home function" is that the steering and braking valves be supplied with oil
pressure (from an internal or external source) and that the steering brake force simulator and the steering
computer and the braking computer be supplied with 24 VDC electrical power (from an internal or external
source).

The "coming home function" can only be activated through a key switch (1 digital input into each the
steering and the braking computer in parallel) in the event of switching on the power supply.
All failure monitoring of all components like pressure switches or CAN interruptions is disabled.

The digital output DO 03 "Enable traction drive" is activated.


The vehicle PLC has to limit the traction drive to a maximum of 5km/h.
The activation of the "coming home function" is signalised to the vehicle PLC via CAN bus message.
DO 07 "no emergency function".

Additionally, optical and acoustical signals have to be output into the driver's cabin.

If the "coming home function" is active, the steering computer and the braking computer will display:
"emergency mode selected" and
"no error monitoring activ"

1.9 Function "Error (Alarm) Reset"


In order to facilitate the handling of the vehicle for the driver, he or she can reset alarms (errors) of priority 3 after
their occurence or if memorised as active.
Preconditions for resetting (deleting) the alarms:
1. Standstill of the vehicle
2. The alarm (error) is not active any more.
3. The vehicle PLC sends a reset bit (in message 4 Byte 2 status bit 7, see 2.4.4.4) after accepting
an appropriate request keystroke.

1.10 Dual-Steering Mode


With the consens straddle carrier, the steering setpoint is generated either
1. by the steering brake force simulator SLS 401 720 or
2. by the "hand steering setpoint generator" SLS 406 525 inside the armrest.

The selection of one of the steering setpoint generators (steering wheel or "hand wheel") is set through two
digital inputs (hardware signals):
1. The "normal" steering wheel is selected through the DI 12 (high-side signal)
2. The "hand steering wheel" is selected through the DI 11 (high-side signal)

The activation of the steering setpoint generators within the "dual-steering mode" will only switch if the
vehicle is at standstill.
If a switching of the steering setpoint generator is accepted, this is signalised to the driver by a separate LED
or a lamp included in the key.
These outputs are also transmitted through CAN bus (DO 9 and DO 10). At start-up of the steering computer, the
steering stepoint generator is activated according to the digital inputs. If no steering setpoint generator is
selected, an alarm is issued and the traction drive is disabled.

1.11 Components of the Steering System


The steering system requires the following components for complete functionality:

1.11.1 Safety Steering Computer SLC 019 647


The SLC is a complete unit connected to the wiring via two connector plugs. The design allows the SLC to be
disconnected from the wiring quickly and completely during commissioning and during servicing work.

The steering computer includes a user terminal (display and four keys), so commissioning, service, and diagnosis
work can be performed either using this terminal or using the PC service software (PCS) via a laptop computer.

1.11.1.3 Installation
The wiring PCB on the SLC has 162 connection terminals which house all the wiring for the system. The wiring
work is carried out in accordance with the wiring diagrams.

CAUTION:
The SLC housing offers protection solely against physical contact and dust (with plugs on
the bottom for wall assembly). The steering computer must therefore either be installed in
protected positions (cab) or in a switching cabinet conforming to the required degree of
protection for the installation position.

The WAGO terminals used are opened using a small screwdriver, and the wire inserted. The terminal is closed
again by removing the screwdriver from the terminal.

Figure 2 – Using the WAGO terminals

NOTES FOR WIRING WORK:


• The cable cross sections given in the wiring plan are minimum values. Larger cross
sections up to a maximum of 2.5 mm² are permissible.
• For all sensors and interfaces, shielded cables must be used. The shielding is connected
to the SLC on one side. The sensor side remains open.
• Separate strain relief should be provided.
• The cables can be clamped with or without ferrules. If ferrules are used, they must be
crimped using a 4-way crimping tool (Variocrimp 4 from Wago). Flat crimps are not
suitable. In an aggressive ambient atmosphere (chemical industry, steel industry ...) ferrules
should be used.
• When laying cables, ensure that the cables are protected on sharp edges and do not
become frayed due to movements of the wiring loom. The signalling lines on sensors should
not be positioned across longer distances parallel to power cables as the signals could
otherwise by affected by interference.
• A quenching diode must be integrated into the connector plugs on all switching valves (not
with proportional-flow valves).

Never remove the plugs on the electronics when live!


During welding work, disconnect the electronics from the power supply (especially
vehicle body / frame!

1.11.1.4 Power Supply


The power supply range on the SLC is 16 ... 30 VDC.

The power is supplied to the steering computer on the wiring PCB from the electrical installation
accessories via fuses.
When replacing a fuse, the prescribed value must be observed.
The specified cable cross-sections must be observed without exception.
Larger cross sections up to a maximum of 2.5 mm² are permissible.

During the commissioning or when changing the wiring on the supply side, the power
supply must first be checked for the correct value and polarity with the electronics
unplugged on the wiring PCB. Then switch off the power supply, plug in the electronics and
switch the SLC power supply back on.

After switching on, the SLC must show the message "self test" on the LC display. After completing the switch-on
test, the software version included should appear with the date and checksum.

If the back-lighting on the SLC is active but the display remains empty, the DIP switch for the
FLASH program download could be switched on. The DIP switch is located to the left of the
right-hand compact plug on the electronics PCB and must be switched off in normal mode.

Serious errors in the steering system (U errors) can only be acknowledged by switching the
power supply off and back on again.

1.11.3.4 Setup of the SLS 401 720 -1


The steering brake force simulator SLS 401 720-1 autonomously generates a braking force which depends on
the rotational speed of the steering wheel. In normal steering operation (i.e. without excessive controller
deviation), this autonomous braking force will not be influenced by the steering computer. The steering computer
will only generate its own steering brake force setpoint in case of a great controller deviation. The force may then
increase to an extent that the driver will not be able to further move the steering wheel.
For the adjustment of the permanent braking force, in parameter 26 a basic force is to be set.
The dead zone of the controller deviation, i.e. the zone within which the steering computer will not increase the
steering brake force, is set by parameters 54 to 57.
Parameter 22 sets the maximum point for 100 % steering brake force.
Example:
Parameter 22 = 0100 Limit for maximum steering brake force: (example: 10°)
At a controller deviation which is greater than the current dead
zone by the parametrised value, the steering brake force
will be at 100%.
Parameter 26 = 0030 The basic force which is always applied is set to 30% of the
maximum force.

Parameter 54 ... 57 Dead zone of the steering brake:


Between standstill and vehicle speed V1 given by parameter 54
up to a controller deviation of 3.0° only the basic steering force
force given by parameter 22 will be applied.
Only if the controller deviation rises above the value given by
parameters 54 to 57 for the corresponding vehicle speed, the
steering brake force will be increased.

1.11.4 Steering Brake Force Simulator SLS 406 525-11

The safety steering brake force simulator of type SLS 406 525 generates a two-channel steering setpoint for
electronically supported vehicle steering systems. It allows a vehicle to be driven by only one hand very
sensitively and safely.
When turning the hand wheel the steering setpoint generator supplies two redundant digital signals, which are
phase-shifted by 90°. Rotational speed and direction can be calculated from these.
There is an additional absolute signal of the steering wheel position.
The rotation of the hand wheel has a constant braking torque in order to facilitate positioning for the driver and to
avoid any unwanted motion. The steering setpoint generator does not have a mechanical bedstop.
The hand wheel mounted in form closure contains a handhold that can be erected.
The technical design of the wear-free setpoint generator is suitable for use in harsh conditions usual for special-
purpose vehicles.
The variably mountable flange plate allows for a simple and sealed istallation into an instrument cluster.

Each steered axle has an angle transducer, which can be used to measure the position of the axle via the SLC.
The angle transducers have a potentiometric design.
Because the measurement of the axle's angle is safety-critical for the steering system, angle transducers which
integrate two separate sensors are used.

1.11.5.2 Connection and Installation Instructions

CAUTION:

The angle transducers have to be installed and wired according to the following instructions:
• In the pivot range of the angle sensor, the slider voltage must always be in the 0,125 V ...
4,875 V range as otherwise the monitoring function of the SLC will interpret this as a cable
break situation.
• In the "steering axle straight" position, the slider voltage on the angle transducer should be
+2.5 V (±300 mV).
• The two potentiometric tracks of the angle transducer are supplied inversely, so the
voltages at the sliders will be inverted against each other (with respect to 2.5V).
• When rotating to the steering axle in clockwise direction:
- the slider voltage of track A must increase (> 2.5 V)
- the slider voltage of track B must decrease (< 2.5 V).
• The installation of the angle sensor must not exert any lateral forces on the angle sensor
shaft.

2 Commissioning the Steering System


Before starting the steering system for the first time, various functions need to be tested. The SLC must not yet
be connected to the wiring at this point (SLC disconnected from the wiring PCB):

2.1 Requirements for the Commissioning Process


(1) Installation and wiring are complete (see chapter 1.11.1.3). The SLC is separated from the wiring PCB.
(2) Check the power supply on the SLC:
- Terminal 6 = 0V GND
- Terminal 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 = +24 V.
(3) Test the hydraulic supply. Setting the operating pressure and of all pressure-relief valves to the maximum
system pressure.
(4) For valves with manual emergency operating function, move the actuators in both directions. When using
cylinders as actuators, these are each moved up to the cylinder stop point to vent the cylinders. If the
valves do not have a manual emergency operation function, they can also be actuated using an external,
adjustable power supply.

Check the valve current during actuation!


(5) Check the correct function of the digital output DO03 "Enable driving" (terminal 70). If the SLC is not
supplied with power, the vehicle may not be enabled to drive. This feature is very important for the
first test runs of the vehicle, because the SLC must be able to stop the vehicle when steering problems
occur.
After completing these tests, the power supply must be switched off and the steering computer plugged into the
wiring PCB. It must be ensured that both connector plugs to the wiring PCB are correctly and fully plugged in.
The SLC is then secured using the 4 retaining nuts.

2.2 Switching on for the First Time


After switching on the SLC, the SLC executes a self-test lasting around 5 seconds. The software version is then
shown on the SLC display. Check that the correct software version is displayed.

After switching on for the first time, the reference voltages set and provided by the SLC must be
checked:
+5 V reference on terminal 86 (tolerance 4.990 ... 5.010 V)
+5 V external on terminal 138 (tolerance 4.990 ... 5.010 V)
The ground for both measurements should be measured on terminal 90.

In the event of an error during the self-test, the SLC switches to emergency stop operation. In this mode, all DOs
and PWMs are switched off.
All errors in the self-test can only be cancelled by switching the SLC power supply off and back on again.
If the SLC is not switched on, the following points should be checked:
- Check the power supply (+24 V on terminals 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ground on terminal 6)
- Check the DIP switch for the FLASH program download on the left next to the right-hand
connector plug on the SLC to the wiring PCB.

2.3 Checking the Input Signals


Checking all input signals (digital and analogue) is performed using the "i/o-data display" function directly on the
SLC (see chapter 3.2).

2.4 CAN Bus


2.4.1 CAN-bus Steering computer SLC 019 647 -1
The SLC used in the steering system has two separate CAN bus interfaces which are used as follows:
CAN1 CANopen (terminals 155 / 156 and 157 / 158)
This CAN-bus connects the steering computer to:
- the PLC.

CAN2 CANsync (terminals 159 / 160 and 161 / 162)


This CAN-bus connects the steering computer to:
- the braking computer and
- the data logger
If the data transfer does not function correctly, a corresponding error message is shown on the SLC display and
entered into the error log.

2.4.2 CAN-bus Braking computer SLC 019 647 -2


The SLC used as a braking computer has two separate CAN bus interfaces which are used as follows:
CAN1 CANopen (terminals 155 / 156 and 157 / 158)
This CAN-bus connects the braking computer to:
- the steering computer and
- the data logger
CAN2 CANsync (terminals 159 / 160 and 161 / 162)
This CAN-bus is not used.

4-Axle Steering System 30.07.2012
SLC 019 647 Ju

2.4.3 Testing the CAN Bus


(1) Switch off the power supply.
(2) Switch the multimeter to resistance measurement.
(3) Measure the resistance between CAN-H and CAN-L on terminals 159 and 160 (155 and 156 respectively)
on the SLC wiring PCB.
(4) Evaluate the measurement results:
60 Correct installation and wiring of PLC and engine control electronics, because both the PLC and
the engine control have a 120 termination resistor.
Do only terminate the two ends of the bus!

120 One end of the bus is not terminated correctly.


In order to localise the error, disconnect CAN-H at one end of the bus.
If the resistance does not change, this end of the bus contains the problem cause.
If the resistance changes, the other end of the bus contains the problem cause.

40 One termination resistor is activated in error.

> 120 The bus in not terminated anywhere.


(5) Switch on the power supply.
(6) Switch the multimeter to DC voltage measurement.
(7) Measure CAN-L (terminal 159) and CAN-H (terminal 160) against 0V-GND. This should produce a voltage
of approx. 2.5 V. If CAN-H is over 3.0 V and CAN-L is under 2.0 V, either CAN-H and CAN-L should be
swapped over or the cable is not correctly connected to the remote station.

2.5 Programming the Parameters


For a description of all parameters, see chapter 4.2.3. The parameters must be set according to the mechanical
diagram of the vehicle, the vehicle functions (equipment), the data sheet for the valves, the angle transducer and
the steering set-point generator.

HINT:
The parametrisation of the braking computer SLC 019 647-2 is also performed from the steering
computer SLC 019 647-1.

4-Axle Steering System 30.07.2012
SLC 019 647 Ju

2.6 Commissioning the Steering Control Loops


2.6.1 Current Regulation of the Proportional Valve Magnets
The magnet coils of the proportional valves change their resistance with temperature. When the temperature
rises, the resistance increases and the current through the magnet coils falls. This means that when the
temperature rises, the controller gain and the dead band become smaller. In the same way, at lower
temperatures the controller gain and the dead band may increase.
To compensate for this effect, the power outputs for the proportional valves are operated in power-regulated
mode.
To do this, the following parameters need to be programmed:
Parameter 32: Maximum coil current of the proportional magnets (unit mA).
Parameter 33: Nominal resistance of the proportional magnets at 20 °C (unit 0.1 ):

To check the current regulation, the present magnet coil currents can be checked directly on the SLC in the "i/o-
data display" (see chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).

2.6.2 Testing the Steering Control in Alignment Mode


Requirement: Parameterisation of the current regulation is done like described in chapter 2.6.1 .
The commissioning of the control loop is carried out in alignment mode (service menu: "alignment axles") on the
SLC (see chapter 4.3)
In alignment mode, each axle can be steered separately using the operating elements on the SLC.

CAUTION:
ESC
The axle can be stopped in alignment mode with the button if it cannot be steered in a
controllable way during the test.
ESC
The button does not function if the valve spool on the proportional valve is blocked.

CAUTION:
No persons may stay anywhere in the pivot range of any of the axles during the test.
Due to connection errors in the electrics or hydraulics, other axles may be operating than selected
for testing.

DEFINITIONS:
(1) Angle transducers
If the axle is rotating to the right (clockwise when viewed from above), the slider voltage of track
A of the angle transducer should increase, while the slider voltage of track B of the angle
transducer should decrease.
In the straight position of the axle (0° / front loader direction) the slider voltage must be +2.5 V
(tolerance ±300 mV).
(2) Proportional valves
If the SLC intends to turn the axle to the right (clockwise when viewed from above), the PWM
output PWM B is activated. The wiring of the magnet coil must be such that the axle turns to
the right if PWM B is active.
Once an axle is selected for alignment, the steering control for that axle becomes active. See chapter 4.3.2,
which contains a description of the possible axle responses.

4-Axle Steering System 30.07.2012
SLC 019 647 Ju

2.6.3 Setting the Controller Gain and Dead Band


The parameters for controller gain and dead band can be optimised as part of the commissioning process for the
steering control loops (see chapter 2.6.2). The controller gains and the dead bands can be programmed
separately for every axle. This makes fine adjustment of the vehicle hydraulics possible.
The parameters are:
Parameter 38: Controller amplification of axle 1
1500 Example: The actual controller deviation is multiplied by the parameter value. The
value 4095 corresponds to the proportional valve openening completely.
With a parameter value of 1000, this is the case at a controller deviation
of approx. 4.1°.
Parameter 39: Controller amplification of axle 2
Parameter 40: Controller amplification of axle 3
Parameter 41: Controller amplification of axle 4

Parameter 34: Dead band of proportional valve of axle 1


0600 Example: As soon as the controller deviation is different from 0° , the parameter
value is output to the magnetic coil of the proportional valve. The current
through the magnet coil of the first valve is 600mA, then.
Parameter 35: Dead band of proportional valve of axle 2
Parameter 36: Dead band of proportional valve of axle 3
Parameter 37: Dead band of proportional valve of axle 4

Setting instructions:
For correct setting of the dead band, the controller gain of the axle is programmed to 0001. This
means that it is virtually only the dead band which affects the steering control.
Increase the value for the dead band so that the steering axle even starts to steer.
Then set the controller gain so that the steering axle is precisely positioned, but does not
oscillate during the steering movement. The quality of the steering control can be best assessed
with slight movements on the steering wheel.

2.7 Aligning the Axles


Requirement: Commissioning the steering control loops complete.
The alignment is carried out in accordance with chapter 4.3.

Operating Instructions page 50 of 150
4-Axle Steering System 30.07.2012
SLC 019 647 Ju

2.8 Selecting and Changing the Steering Program


Precondition: Commissioning of the steering controllers is completed.
In normal mode of operation the steering program 'all-wheel' steering is active. For servicing, the special steering
program 'diagonal / crab steering' can be chosen through a control bit.
(1) Selection of steering programs

For a first test of the steering program selection the diesel engine must not run. Select steering programs
one after the other. The control lamp at DO 05 must blink after each keystroke.

It is an advantage to have the axles not in centered position, because otherwise the steering
program selection may be accepted immediately. In this case, the control lamps will only blink for
a very short time.

If the control lamps do not start to blink (or do not light up), the logic of the control bits and the wiring of the
control lamps has to be checked.

(2) Change of steering program

In a second step, the diesel engine is started. After activating the control bits, the axles have to be
automatically moved to their center position by the SLC. Because the alignment is already completed, the
axles have to exactly reach their center position. The control lamp of the corresponding key light ups
permanently.

When steering while the vehicle is in standstill, the wheel rim will be significantly twisted against
the tyre. Therefore, in order to evaluate the centered position, always the wheel rim has to be
regarded.

If the axles do not steer after the steering program selection, there is an active alarm of the SLC.

2.9 Commissioning of the Steering Setpoint Generator


Precondition: Commissioning of the steering controllers and the selection of a steering program are completed.
In normal mode of operation the steering setpoint generator supplies the SLC with information about the
steering wheel turning through its pulse outputs. For reasons of safety and availability the information is sent
through two independent channels.

The normal mode of operation has to be tested during commissioning !!!

2.9.1 Normal Mode of Operation of the Steering


In normal mode of operation, the two channels of the SLS (directly connected pulse signals) are both used for
steering and for monitoring of the SLS.
After the selection of a steering program and the completion of the steering program change, the steering has to
react to the steering wheel turning, according to the selected steering program.
If wiring errors are present, alarm messages are displayed on the SLC's display, which help in searching for the
error cause.

In order to narrow down the error cause, the operation data display (see chapter 3.5) and the
I/O display (see chapter 5.3) can be used.

2.10 Flashing a New Software


For downloading a new software version into the 040 401 electronics, the PC application program 'WinEEA' is
used. WinEEA is able to program all controller types of the family C16x.
For this, the tab "Program C16x-Flash“ is used.

2.10.1 Description
Using the tab "Program C16x-Flash“, FLASH memories in all processors of the 16-bit family C16x (and
compatible ones) can be programmed and cleared.

2.10.2 Operation
2.10.2.1 Establishing a connection
In the group field "COM-Port":
In the sub group field "port", select the serial port (COM1, etc.) of your PC that you have connected the SLC to.
The baud rate can always be set to the highest value (57600). Only in case of problems with the transmission
(external interferences), the baud rate should be decreased step by step.
Next, open the interface using the appropriate button. The dialogue title changes from "Not connected" to
"Connected to COM.... – 57600 Baud".

2.10.2.2 Start communication


In the group field "Data Transmission“:
After a connection is configured, the data is read into the flash by striking the button "Establish connection"
In the group field "Flash Type“:
After a successful transmission, information on the flash type will appear in this group field.
The data are: Internal or external flash, and data word length (in bits)
Addressing in bits (only relevant for software developers)
Size of the memory

2.10.2.3 Delete All


This deletes the complete flash memory. (Do not forget to set the DIP switch assigned to programming, when
wanting to re-write the flash at a later time – see preconditions). A new dialogue will appear. Confirm or deny the
request to delete. During the deletion process, its progress is displayed. After successful deletion a message will
appear. Confirm this.

2.10.2.4 Program
A dialogue window will appear, which allows to search for and select the ".hex" file. By opening this file, the
programming process is started. In the group field "Progress", first the progress of checking the file, then the
progress of the programming itself is displayed. After successful programming, a message will appear. Confirm
this.

2.10.2.5 Software Reset


After programming the flash memory, this button will start the new software. This feature is used for those
software versions which do not necessarily require the DIP switch for programming. For older versions of the
software this is not recommended (see preconditions), but possible. In this case, it has to be ensured that the DIP
switch is re-set later. Otherwise, the software would not start up at a later time.

3.3 Change of Steering Program


The steering program "Diagonal" is selected by control bits from the PLC.
The special steering program "Diagonal" is enabled by the central computer via CAN bus. The SLC confirms the
active steering program via retoure CAN message to the central computer. The following logical combinations are
checked by the central computer before enabling the diagonal steering:
o In the lower vehicle speed range 0 ... 5 km/h.
o Without load.
o The maximum allowed steering angle is 20° (parameter 62).
The SLC memorises the control bit and checks if a change of steering program is allowed:
o No hardware error of the SLC is present.
o The SLC is not on the alignment mode of operation.
o The switch-on and the subsequent starting time of the SLC have elapsed.
o The vehicle is in standstill.

As soon as all conditions are fulfilled, the control lamp connected to DO5 (terminal 68) starts to blink. This
signalises that the keystroke has been accepted and the change of steering program has been started.
With each change of steering program, the steering axles are automatically moved into their central position.
During this movement of the axles (blinking control lamp) the vehicle's traction drive is disabled. As soon as all
axles have reached their central position, the blinking will be replaced by a continuous light. The change of
steering program is completed and the traction drive is enabled once again.

4-Axle Steering System 30.07.2012
SLC 019 647 Ju

3.4 Normal Mode of Operation


In normal mode of operation the vehicle is steered according to the selected steering program.
The following steering programs are available:

All-wheel steering
In all-wheel steering the rear axles are steered inversely to the front axles,
applying the same absolute value of the angle. This yields a minimum curve
radius and thus a maximum agility of the vehicle.
At higher vehicle speeds the vehicle tends to become somewhat instable,
because the rear turns already with small steering movements.
For this reason, starting from a speed of 15 kph, the rear axle steering is
suppressed if the angle would be below 5°. The steering dynamics will then be
similar to that of a "normal" truck.

Diagonal steering
In diagonal steering, all axles are steered to the same steering angle.
This enables the vehicle to be moved sideways without changing its orientation.
Because of small deviations of the tie rods and asymmetries in the traction drive,
the vehicle will still slowly change its orientation when diagonally steering for a
longer distance.

Additionally to the steering, the SLC 019 647 –1 also performs the following functions:
• Piloting the second braking circuit (axles 1.2 and 3.2) of the operational brake.
Each axle brake is piloted by one directly controlled pressure reducing valve, proportionally to the position
of the braking pedal.
• Monitoring the steering and the second braking circuit, and reacting to detected failures.
The safety computer SLC 019 647 –2 performs the following functions:
• Piloting the first braking circuit (axles 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, and 4.1) of the operational brake.
Each axle brake is piloted by one directly controlled pressure reducing valve, proportionally to the position
of the braking pedal.
• Piloting the valve for hydraulic pressure supply.
• Monitoring the pressure supply and the first braking circuit, and reacting to detected failures.

4 Special Functions for Commissioning and Maintenance


4.1 Troubleshooting / Alarm Handling
The SLC divides errors into two different groups:
(1) L errors Errors in the logic, which are triggered by the monitoring functions in the application.
(L alarms) These errors are generally errors or failures of external components such as angle
transducers, steering set-point generators or hydraulic valves.
All logic errors are automatically cancelled when the cause of the error has been
removed. Errors in the angle sensors are held until the vehicle is switched off.
(2) U errors Errors in the hardware, which are triggered by the monitoring functions in the safety
(U alarms) operating system. Hardware errors are generally caused by the steering computer
hardware itself or by faulty signals in the hardware inputs or outputs.

In the event of a U error (hardware error) all steering computer outputs are switched off.
U errors can only be reset by switching off the power supply to the steering computer and
restarting.

All steering computer errors are defined using an error code containing three pieces of information:
(1) Error location Which component triggered the error?
Examples:
- Axle 2 angle transducer.
- Magnet coil of the proportional valve on axle 1
- Steering wheel
- Fuse
(2) Error type Which error has occurred?
Examples:
- Short-circuit
- Cable break
- Timeout.
(3) Priority How critical is the error?
The steering computer distinguishes between 4 priority levels:
Level Description Steering system response
0 Operating message No restriction of the driving and steering
functions of the vehicle. Operating instruction.
1 Warning No restriction of the driving and steering
functions of the vehicle. Warning against
possible more critical errors.
2 Driving lock Steering still active, the vehicle is stopped.
3 Lock of driving and steering Steering not available, vehicle is stopped.

If critical errors of the steering system are present, the SLC stops the vehicle through
disabling the signal "Driving enabled".
Only very slow driving is allowed because the steering may be damaged.

1 1 2 Cable break in angle transducer track A of the axle


… The actual voltage value of the potentiometric angle transducer A is outside the tolerance range.
4
The tolerance range for actual value voltages is: 0,125 V to 4,875 V.
Effect:
The steering of axle 1 is maintained using the actual value voltage of track B of the angle transducer. The vehicle
drive is disabled.
Rectification / tests:
• At least one of the three wires for angle transducer A of the cable between SLC and angle transducer is
broken.
Check cable between SLC and angle transducer.
• The power supply (+5 V reference voltage) for the angle transducer is outside the tolerance from 4.990 V to
5.010 V.
Disconnect all angle transducers from the power supply in sequence and measure again.
Once the +5 VREF is back in the tolerance range, the faulty angle transducer is found which is
overloading the power supply.
• Fault / failure of the angle transducer.
• The steering angle of the axle is too great. The sensor track of the potentiometer has a limited electrical
function range. When the slider is turned too far, it reaches the end of the sensor track (or even leaves it).
This means that the tolerance range is also exited.
The steering angle range of the axle must be limited or another angle transducer type with a
larger electrical function range should be used.

… The actual voltage values of both potentiometric angle transducers are outside the tolerance range.
4
The tolerance range for actual value voltages is: 0,125 V to 4,875 V.
Effect:
The steering of the affected axle is switched off and the vehicle drive is disabled.
Rectification / tests:
• At least one wire of track A and one wire of track B in the cable between SLC and angle transducer is
broken.
Check cable between SLC and angle transducer.
• The power supply (+5 V reference voltage) for the angle transducer and/or the supply (+5V external) for
track B is outside the tolerance range.
Disconnect all angle transducers from the power supply in sequence and measure again.
Once the +5 VREF is back in the tolerance range, the faulty angle transducer is found which is
overloading the power supply. Perform the same check with +5 VEXT.
• Fault / failure of the angle transducer.
• The steering angle of the axle is too great. The sensor track of the potentiometer has a limited electrical
function range. When the slider is turned too far, it reaches the end of the sensor track (or even leaves it).
This means that the tolerance range is also exited.
The steering angle range of the axle must be limited or another angle transducer type with a
larger electrical function range should be used.

1 4 3 0° alignment angle transducer of the axle not within tolerance range


… The saved 0° alignment value of the angle transducer A for the axle is not within the defined tolerance range.
4
The tolerance range for the 0° alignment is depende on the senor type:
Angle sensor from ME: 2,500 V ±300mV.
MTS sensor at cylinder: 1,900 V ±300mV or 3,100 V ±300mV depend on the axle position.
Effect:
The steering of the affected axle is switched off and the vehicle is stopped through the "enable drive" output.
Rectification / tests:
Carry out new 0° alignment of the axles. During the alignment, ensure that the actual voltage value of the angle
transducer is in the given tolerance range. If this is not the case, the angle transducer must be rotated mechanically
against the axle.
When the axles are in a precise straight position, the actual voltage value must be at 2.5 V (±0.3 V).

1 5 3 Right-hand alignment angle transducer of the axle not within tolerance range
… The saved right-hand range alignment value of the axle is not within the defined tolerance range.
4
The tolerance range for the right-hand alignment value is:
Angle sensor from ME: track A 3,300 V bis 4,875 V.
track B 0,125 V bis 1,800 V.
MTS sensor at cylinder: track A 0,125 V bis 1,100 V
track B 3,900 V bis 4,875 V.
Effect:
The vehicle is stopped through the "enable drive" output. The steering computer calculates the angle resolution from
parameter 0 (electrical function range of the angle transducer) to keep the steering functional.
Rectification / tests:
• Carry out new right-hand alignment of the axles. During the alignment, the actual voltage value of the angle
transducer must be within the given tolerance range.
• The angle transducer supply does not correspond to the definition for angle transducer track A:
If the steering axle steers to the right (clockwise) the actual voltage value should increase.
The actual voltage value reduces if the axle is steered to the left.
For this reason the right range alignment value should be greater than the 0° alignment value.
The rotation of the angle transducer can be inverted by swapping the supply (+5 V and
signal ground) of the angle transducer.

Angle sensor from ME: track A 0,125 V bis 1,800 V.
track B 3,300 V bis 4,875 V.
MTS sensor at cylinder: track A 0,125 V bis 1,100 V.
track B 3,900 V bis 4,875 V
Effect:
The vehicle is stopped through the "enable drive" output. The steering computer calculates the angle resolution from
parameter 0 (electrical function range of the angle transducer) to keep the steering functional.
Rectification / tests:
• Carry out new left-hand alignment of the axles. During the alignment, the actual voltage value of the angle
transducer must be within the given tolerance range.
• The angle transducer supply does not correspond to the definition for angle transducer track A:
If the steering axle steers to the right (clockwise) the actual voltage value should increase. The actual
voltage value reduces if the axle is steered to the left. For this reason the left range alignment value should
be less than the 0° alignment value.
The rotation of the angle transducer can be inverted by swapping the supply (+5 V and
signal ground) of the angle transducer.

1 8 0 Deviation of right hand maximum angle of the axle is too great


… The SLC monitors the maximum steering angle of the axle. If the actual angle value of the axle exceeds the
4 alignment angle (parameter 15 plus 0.5° of tolerance), then an alarm message is generated.
Rectification / tests:
Check the alignment.

1 9 0 Deviation of left hand maximum angle of the axle is too great


… The SLC monitors the maximum steering angle of the axle. If the actual angle value of the axle exceeds the

… Both magnet coils of the proportional valves connected to the steering computer are monitored for cable breaks and
4 short- circuits.

The axle affected is switched off and the vehicle stopped.
Rectification / tests:
• Check cable between SLC and magnet coil.
Switch off the power supply to the SLC, disconnect the SLC from the wiring PCB. On the connection
terminals on the wiring PCB, measure the resistance of the magnet coil outputs against power ground. For
the proportional valves used, the measurement should be around 3.5 . The cable resistance can be
ignored if the length is not too great.

The error is set if no valid control parameters can be calculated from the parameters.
Effect:
Steering of the axle is switched off and emergency steering of the SLS is activated. Driving is disabled.

loading of the mechanics.
Effect:
The steering remains active. Driving is disabled. The steering speed is reduced to 50% of the maximum steering
speed defined by parameter 87/88, in order to enable the axle to catch up.
Rectification / tests:
• The oil quantity of the hydraulic supply is not sufficient for the steering speed set.
• The steering speed is set to too high a value. Check parameter 87/88.
• The error threshold for steering deviations is set to too small a value. Check parameters 54, 55, 56, 57.

… The steering deviation of the axle is greater than the error threshold set in parameters 49 to 58 for longer than the
4 the tolerance time. The axle is not able to follow the steering set-point. The resultant track errors of the wheels result
in excessive tyre wear and significant loading of the mechanics.
Effect:
The vehicle is stopped due to the significant track error. The steering remains active with reduced steering speed of
the steering wheel (50 % of parameter 87/88) to allow the deviated axle to catch up.
Rectification / tests:
• The oil quantity of the hydraulic supply is not sufficient for the steering speed set.
• The steering pressure of the hydraulic supply is insufficient.
• The steering forces of the axles are insufficient or the axle load is too great (axle mechanically blocked).
• The steering speed is set to too high a value. Check parameter 21.
• The error threshold or the time delay for steering deviations is set to too small a value. Check parameters 54

1 30 2 Deviation between tracks A and B of angle transducer of steering axle is too great
… The SLC calculates a steering angle for the axle from the signals from both angle transducers and the relevant
4 alignment values. The result is two separate steering angles which are checked for deviations between one another
by the SLC. The error is triggered if the deviation exceeds the threshold of parameter 3.
Effect:
The steering of the affected axle is switched off and the vehicle is stopped through the signal "enable driving". The
emergency steering of the SLS is activated.
Rectification / tests:
• Check parameter 3 for the correct value.
• Contact problems on one of the two sensors.
• Water in plug connector or angle transducer.
• Fault in the angle transducer.

1 31 2 Voltage sum of tracks A and B of angle transducer of steering axle 1 not within
… tolerance range
4 Both angle transducers on the steering axle are inversely supplied with +5 V. This means that when operating in
perfect condition, both sensor signals always add up to 5 V. The error is triggered if the total of the signals deviates
too far from 5 V.
The voltage sum of both signals must be 5 V at any angle.
The tolerance range of the total voltage is: 5.0 V (± Parameter 3 [mV]).
Effect:
The steering and driving remain active. The SLC uses the track A signal to keep the steering active.
Rectification / tests:
• Check parameter 3. Tolerances of the total voltage of 100 mV are normal for the angle transducer used.
• Check actual voltage values of angle transducers A and B on terminals 37 and 36 of the wiring PCB.
• Check the cable and plug between the SLC and the angle transducer for good contact.

Description

1 10 3 Cable break on magnet coil of brake valve A1_1, braking circuit 1


The SLC monitors the magnet coil of the brake valve for cable break.
The driving is disabled.
Rectification / tests:
• Check cable between SLC and magnet coil.
Switch off the power supply to the SLC, disconnect the SLC from the wiring PCB. On the connection terminals
on the wiring PCB, measure the resistance of the magnet coil outputs against power ground. For the
proportional valves used, the measurement should be around 3 . The cable resistance can be ignored if the
length is not too great.
• Fault in the magnet coil.
Remove the plug on the proportional valve and check the magnet coil resistance (approx. 3 ).

1 12 3 Short-circuit on magnet coil of brake valve A1_1, braking circuit 1


The SLC monitors the magnet coil of the brake valve for cable break.
The driving is disabled.
Rectification / tests:
See L 8-10-3.

1 14 1 Current regulation of magnet coil A of of brake valve A1_1, braking circuit 1


The magnet coil of the proportional brake valve is piloted through a PWM output. Thus, tolerances of the magnet coil
resistance and temperature influences can automatically be compensated for. The error message is set when the
current regulation exceeds its tolerance range, i.e. the magnet coil resistance is too far from the nominal value.
Tolerance range of the magnet coil resistance: Factor 0,5 to 2,0 on the nominal value (parameter 108).
Rectification / tests:
• The resistance of the magnet coil (including the cable) is too great or too small.
Switch the SLC off its supply voltage, disconnect it from the wiring card. Measure the resistance of the
magnet coil outputs between the terminals of the wiring card and the 0V-GND. The measured resistance has
to correspond to the value of parameter 108. The error message is generated if the resistance is smaller than
0.5x parameter or greater than 2x parameter.
• Check the connectors of the magnet coil for good contact.

• Check parameter 108. The programmed value has to correspond to the magnet coil actually used.

1 16 3 Current regulation initialisation for the brake valve A1_1 unsuccessful


The current regulation of the magnet coils for braking valves is adjusted via parameters for the proportional valves
being used. During the current regulation initialisation process when switching on the steering computer, the control
parameters are calculated from the SLC parameters.
The error is set if no valid control parameters can be calculated from the parameters.
The SLC warns the driver by making an error lamp blink. The braking system still works through braking circuit 1.
Steering and driving remain active. If also the second braking circuit is faulty, the vehicle is stopped immediately.
Rectification / tests:
This error can only be caused by incorrect values in parameter 109 (maximum magnet coil current) and parameter
108 (magnet coil resistance).
Check the parameter values and compare with the data from the brake valve.

U5 Parameter The SLC parameters are saved with redundancy and each is protected using a
signature. The error is triggered if one or more parameters in the normal and
redundant parameter ranges do not match or the signature is incorrect.
The parameter number of the faulty parameter is shown on the SLC display.
Switch the SLC off and back on again. If the SLC can determine from the
available data and signatures which parameters are correct, it will
automatically repair the data. One parameter is corrected each time the unit
is switched on again.
If the SLC cannot repair the parameter, the parameter-set must be re-
programmed (e.g. PCS download).

U6 FLASH ROM Signature The program code is protected using a signature.


Load the correct program code into the FLASH on the SLC using WinEEA.

U19 Safety FET The safety switch on the redundant shut-down path cannot be correctly
controlled.
Digital outputs DO1 to DO6 and PWM 9 and 10 check for short-circuits to

4.3 Aligning the Angle Transducers


The angle transducers must be aligned during the commissioning process for the steering system (all axles) and
after replacing an angle transducer (the axle with the new angle transducer).
When aligning the angle transducers, the current value voltages of the angle transducer are stored on 3 fixed
angle values in the permanent memory on the SLC:
(1) Forward position (0° angle).
(2) maximum steering angle to the right.
(3) maximum steering angle to the left.

CAUTION:

The alignment angles for the right-hand and left-hand maxima have to be set in parameters 1
and 2.

In normal mode the SLC uses the current value voltages of the angle transducers and the fixed values saved
during the alignment process to calculate the actual angle of the axles with great precision.

The alignment process is carried out using the operating elements on the
SLC.

4.3.2 Steering Problems in Alignment Mode


If the selected steering axle cannot be steered in alignment mode, or cannot be steered in a controlled way, the
following points should be checked.

4.3.2.1 The axle cannot be steered

The selected axle cannot be steered using the buttons and .


(1) Hydraulic supply
• Is the hydraulic supply active?
The hydraulic pump drive unit must be running.
• Is there sufficient hydraulic pressure?
All pressure relief valves should be set correctly. Measure the system pressure on the hydraulic
block for the steering.
• Are the hydraulic connections correctly made?
• Are the parameters on the steering control circuits and power regulation on the power outputs
correctly programmed? See chapter 4.2.3.

The proportional valves used can be activated manually. If the axle is moved with manual
activation, the hydraulic supply can be excluded as the cause of the fault.

Raise the vehicle to relieve the strain on the steering axles. When raised, the steering axles can
often also be steered with minimal pressure.

(2) Electrical connection of the proportional valves


• Are the magnet coils of the proportional valves correctly connected to the SLC?
• Are both proportional valves on the axles running against one another as far as possible?
Disconnect the magnet coil plugs on the second proportional valve and steer only using the first
proportional valve.

(3) Mechanics
Can the axle move freely?
Check that the steering axle can move freely. The axle may be at the final stop point on the steering
range.

(4) Operation
Only one steering button can be pressed at any time. If both steering buttons are pressed at the same
time, the SLC does not execute a steering motion of the axle.

4.3.2.2 An axle other than the selected axle is steered


In this case the assignment of the hydraulics does not match the electrical assignment.
(1) Hydraulics
Are the hydraulic connections correctly made?
Check the assignment of the proportional valves to the steering axles.

(2) Electrical connection of the proportional valves


Are the magnet coils of the proportional valves correctly connected to the SLC?
Check the assignment of the power outputs to the proportional valves according to the wiring diagram.

4.3.2.3 Checking the axle polarities


(1) Polarity error in the steering control circuit
Both definitions of polarity are violated.

When turning the axle to the right (clockwise viewed from above), the slider voltage of angle
transducer A should increase and of angle transducer B should fall.

The SLC supplies the PWMb output with power to steer the axle to the right (clockwise).

In order to rectify both definitions, the supply lines of the angle transducer as well as the magnet coil connectors
of the proportional valve have to be exchanged.

4.4 Alignment of the Brake Pedal


The alignment of the brake pedal has to be performed during commissioning and after an exchange of the brake
pedal.
During alignment, the actual voltages of the brake pedal potentiometers in the unused position and in the kick-
down position are stored to the memory.

In the normal mode of operation, the SLC calculates the brake setpoint from the actual voltages of the brake
pedal and from the values stored during alignment, applying great precision.

The alignment is performed using the SLC's on-board terminal.

5 Assignment of Inputs and Outputs


5.1 Assignment of Inputs and Outputs of the SLC 019 647-1
This chapter describes all input and output signals of the SLC. All signals are present at the terminals of the
wiring board.

5.1.1 Digital Inputs


Input resistance 3.75 k
Input level for OFF state < +2 V (or open input)
Input level for ON state > +10 V (+Ub)
Type For high-side signals
Features Read in redundantly and checked by the safety operating system.

5.1.1.1 DI 01 'Steering inverted’ Terminal 49


This signal indicates a request to invert the steering direction set by the steering setpoint generator. It can be
used to invert the steering if a signal 'seat position turned by 180° ' is present. This enables the driver to steer
logically right in both driving directions, according to the current sitting position.
The signal is monitored for plausibility with DI 02.
The steering direction is only switched if the vehicle is recognised as standing.

5.1.1.2 DI 02 'Steering inverted redundant’ Terminal 48


The input 'Steering inverted redundant is used for a plausibility check against the input 'Steering inverted’.

contact)

5.1.1.10 DI 11 'SLS 406 520 selected’ Terminal 103


If this input is ON and the vehicle is standing, the steering setpoint generation is switched to the steering setpoint
generator SLS 406 520.

5.1.1.11 DI 12 'SLS 401 720 selected’ Terminal 102


If this input is ON and the vehicle is standing, the steering setpoint generation is switched to the steering setpoint
generator SLS 401 720.

5.1.1.12 DI 16 'Emergency Mode’ Terminal 98


ON: When switching on the power supply while this input is ON, the Emergency Mode is activated.
OFF: Normal mode of operation of the steering and braking system.

5.1.1.13 DI 17 'D+ from alternator’ Terminal 154
