state which is defined as digital outputs 1 - 6 OFF.
The vehicle manufacturer has to guarantee for the operational safety of the vehicle and the safety of the
persons working with the vehicle by appropriate measures.
MOBIL ELEKTRONIK cannot be held responsible for changes without notification. In no case MOBIL
ELEKTRONIK will be reliable for direct and indirect or consequential damage resulting from any errors or
omissions in this document.
front rear
4.45 m
(<==forward) (backward ==>)
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.
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 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).
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.
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.
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.
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"
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.
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.
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.
The steering of the vehicle is operated through an electronic steering wheel. For this a safety steering brake force
simulator with integrad steering brake is used.
It performs the following functions:
• 2 pulse outputs with separately independent supply.
• Integrated steering brake as a force feedback from the steering to the driver.
• Integrated controller for piloting the steering brake.
• Configuration of the SLS via serial RS232 interface.

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.

1.11.5 Safety Angle Transducers 530 466 – AA0BZ1 – 27 of the Steering Axles
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.

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.

1.11.6 Proportional Hydraulic Unit PHY 604 224 for the Steering 8 wheel carrier
The hydraulic unit for the steering contains the following features:
- Proportional hydraulic unit for 2 steered axles with idividual pressure regulation,
- Proportional valves with nominal oil flow 18 l/min,
- Pressure switch (130 bar),
- Shock valves.

1.11.8 Hydraulic unit PHY 604 251 for the Operational Brake
The hydraulic unit for the operational brake contains the following features:
- Proportional pressure reducing valves "ATOS",
- Pressure switch (105 bar),
The hydraulic unit is delivered painted.
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.

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

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.
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.
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.
See chapter 4.1.
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.

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".
2.10.2.4 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.
Using these four keys and the menu structure via the LCD display, the SLC can be operated in a simple and

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.
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.

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 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.

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.

Effect:
The vehicle is stopped through the "enable drive" output. The steering computer calculates the angle resolution from

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.

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.
Effect:
Steering of the axle is switched off and emergency steering of the SLS is activated. Driving is disabled.
Rectification / tests:

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.

- Move an axle other than the axle selected!
- Move an axle without a button being pressed!

In the following situations, a new, complete alignment (0°, right-hand, left-hand) should be conducted:
- Initial commissioning of the steering system (alignment of all axles).
- Replacing the steering computer (alignment of all axles).
- Replacing angle sensors (only the affected axle).
- Changing the installation of the angle sensor (only the affected axle).
- Mechanical calibration of the angle sensor (only the affected axle).
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.
(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.
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.
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.
ESC
The alignment of the brake pedal is performed through a menu. It is performed simultaneously on the steering
computer (braking circuit 2) and on the braking computer (braking circuit 1).
If the alignment values are not plausible, an error message is displayed.

PWM 9 21 Variable displacement pump for hydraulic supply
The hydraulic pressure supply is piloted according to the demand profile of steering and spreader.
The output features a parametrisable delay in reducing demand.
The variable displacement pump (type A10 VO 85 ED72) is controlled by a negative logic (maximum
pressure when no PWM signal).
Characteristics of the magnet coil: 24V ( 22.7 / max. 770mA ).
Piloting the pressure supply does not start until 10 seconds after start-up of the diesel engine.
