Functional specification 1.1 General The APC200 (Transmission Controller for ECM) is a device used to control the shifting of the Spicer Off Highway Products ECM powershift transmissions. ECM means Electronic Controlled Modulation and refers to a transmission control technology that is available on a range of transmission models. ECI means Electronic Controlled Inching. This refers to the capability of ECM transmissions with APC200 to run at very low controlled speed at virtually any engine speed. This function is desirable in a/o. forklift truck applications. To date, within these models, three transmission types are supported: TE13, TE17 and TE32 transmissions with 4/4, 4/3 and 3/3 gear sets. + Transmission POWER Control Shift Lever Throttle Pedal Valve APC200 Brake Pedal Engine Speed Turbine Speed Drum Speed Output Speed Temperature Mode Selection Engine Throttle Servo Control CAN SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459

It allows selecting the driving direction and the different ranges. The shift lever output signals serve as inputs for the APC200. The APC200 is designed to interface with a variety of shift levers. Refer to the application specific wiring diagram for detailed information about shift patterns. Note that the APC200 supports remote control via the CAN bus as documented in the CAN EDI. 1.3.2 Display SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY The display is located on the APC200 front panel and consists of: D E APC200 F • 4 red 7-segment LED digits • 3 status LED lamps ("D","E","F") • 2 push buttons 'M' and 'S' for display mode selection. M S APC200 front panel display The LED lamp labelled 'D' is yellow and is used to indicate test modes. The LED lamp labelled 'E' is yellow and is used to indicate faults. The LED lamp labelled 'F' is red and is switched on when the APC200 is in the reset condition. Refer to SOHPD drawing IAPC200A for installation dimensions. After power up, the display defaults to the last display mode selected when the controller was last powered down. Typically, this will be the gear position mode. In this mode, the centre left digit shows the actually engaged direction and the centre right digit shows the currently engaged range (gear). Pressing the 'M' switch changes the displayed information group, while pressing the 'S' button selects the item within the group. While pushing the switch (and about 0.5 seconds after it is released) the display shows which information is about to be displayed. There are 3 display groups : the most commonly used one allows to switch between gear display and vehicle speed display. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 9/65 The second group shows the shift lever position and some other less used but nevertheless quite relevant values (see list below). The third display accessed with the M-button isn’t actually a group of screens but is used to inform you about any current or previously active faults. The display normally shows ‘ — — ‘ to indicate there are no faults, but if one or more faults are (or have been) detected, themost severe one is shown until you press the ‘S’ - button. Doing so reveils the next fault until no more faults are present, at which time again the ‘ — — ‘ sign is shown. Display mode Comment GPOS Reflects the actually engaged transmission direction and range. VSPD Shows vehicle speed in km/h or MPH (parameter setting). Speeds are shown with a 0.1km/h or 0.1 MPH resolution. DIST Shows the distance travelled in km or in miles (parameter setting). Distance is shown with a 0.1 km or 0.1 mile resolution. To reset this display, the “S” – button has to be pressed and keep it pressed during 3 seconds, when this display is selected. CPOS Reflects the current shift lever direction and position. TSPD Shows measured turbine speed (RPM) ESPD Shows measured engine speed (RPM) OSPD Shows measured output speed (RPM) SRAT Reflects the current speed ratio (calculated as TSPD/ESPD [turbine speed / engine speed]) and is an important factor in automatic shifting. TQ I Measured torque at transmission input side (Nm) TTMP Shows transmission temperature in °C or °F (parameter setting) CTMP Shows cooler input temperature in °C or °F (parameter setting) ERR The fault display When the controller detects an error, the 'E' led blinks slowly to indicate this. You can always select the fault display mode (ERR) to view the nature of the problem. Error codes are described in section 2.4 Behaviour in case of faults. 1.3.3 Other Additionally several on/off switches and position sensors with function described in section 1.6.1 can be used to control the different operating functions. The control system can receive state information of these inputs either directly through its own inputs or via the CAN-bus using standardised messages.

See 5.1.2 Self test Functions for detailed description. 1.4.3 Limp Home mode Defaulted to if either of following conditions occurs: • a single fault on a transmission control output is detected • a fault related to the engine speed sensor is detected • two out of three vehicle speed sensors are in fault If one of the above conditions is present, the transmission is put in neutral. In order to continue driving, neutral must first be selected on the shift lever. Once the shift lever has been put in neutral, the driver can re-engage a direction. In this mode, the user can operate the transmission in either direction in 1st and 2nd only. If the fault occurs at a higher gear position, the user is allowed to shift down manually. Note: On some transmissions, ratios normally not selectable are used to substitute those that can no longer be selected. The controller uses default limits; all shifts use a default modulation curve. Inching is disabled. The GPOS / CPOS display indicates the letters ‘LH’ left of the direction/position indication. 1.4.4 Shutdown mode The ECM transmission control valve has a built-in redundant shutdown solenoid and a pressure switch that monitors the pressure controlled by that solenoid. This solenoid is controlled by the APC200 using both a high side and a low side switch (again redundant logic). When the APC200 enters shut down mode, all four pressure modulators are put at zero pressure AND both controlling outputs of the redundant shutdown solenoid are switched off. This mode is activated when a severe internal or external problem is detected. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 11/65 In this mode, the transmission is forced in Neutral because the redundant shutdown path cuts off the hydraulic power to the clutches. This mode is selected only if an intolerable combination of faults exists. In case of an intermitting problem, SHUTDOWN mode is exited and the controller enters the LIMP HOME mode. However, in case the error is related to the pressure feedback signal, SHUTDOWN mode remains selected until the controller is switched off. Also when a fault related to the parameter settings located n FLASH memory s detected, the controller reverts to shutdown mode The GPOS / CPOS display indicates the letters ‘Sd’ left of the direction/position indication. 1.4.5 Mode identification Above modes are identified as follows: Mode D-led E-led Display Normal driving Off as per error Self test On Off Limp home Off Blinking Shut Down Off Blinking described in 5.1 Diagnostics and maintenance 1.5 Operating Characteristics The APC200 is designed to operate continuously under the environmental conditions described in section 3.3.

It allows selecting the driving direction and the different ranges. The shift lever output signals serve as inputs for the APC200. The APC200 can be programmed to interact with a large number of shift levers. Models supported: • Bump type shift lever: this type of shift lever generates pulse signals for up-and downshifting, while providing fixed signals for the direction (forward and reverse). • Standard type shift lever: this type of shift lever generates a distinct pattern in each position. The APC200 can be programmed to accommodate any such shift lever, provided it does not use more than 6 wires to determine its position. • Remote control through the CAN EDI specification. Check the wiring diagram for correctly connecting the shift lever to the APC200. 1.6.1.2 Accelerator pedal position sensor The accelerator pedal should be equipped with an analogue position pickup which translates the position of the accelerator pedal into a variable voltage that can be measured by the APC200 on one of its analogue inputs. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 15/65 The APC200 uses this information to determine the driver’s intentions and to derive which shift characteristics to use. Optionally the APC200 uses it to control the engine accelerator using a suitable servo motor. The accelerator pedal position is converted into a reading from 0% to 100%. Some configurations transmit the accelerator pedal position via CAN. 1.6.1.3 Brake pedal position sensor The brake pedal should be equipped with an analogue position pickup that translates the position of the brake pedal into a variable voltage that can be measured by the APC200 on one of its analogue inputs. The brake pedal position is used only while operating in inching mode. It is not used in the hydrostatic drive simulation mode. 1.6.1.4 Manual / automatic switch 1.6.1.4.1 Manual ÖAutomatic Switching from manual to automatic is possible in all circumstances. 1.6.1.4.2 Automatic ÖManual Switching from automatic to manual is deferred until following conditions are fulfilled : • • Vehicle speed is sufficiently low Shift lever position equals or exceeds the transmission gear position. 1.6.1.5 Inching enable switch This on/off switch should be mounted on the left brake pedal in such way that the driver can easily use the brakes with or without depressing it. If the switch is activated while braking, the inching function gets activated. It is not used in the hydrostatic drive simulation mode. 1.6.1.6 Start in 1st / 2nd gear switch This on/off switch will inform the controller to start in 1st or in 2nd gear. If start in 2nd gear is selected, 1st gear will be reached via an automatic downshift, when the machine experiences high load and needs a high tractive effort to accelerate (Automatic kickdown). Once 1st gear is reached, a direction change will result in starting in 2nd gear. 1.6.1.7 Reduce vehicle speed switch This on/off switch will inform the controller to reduce the vehicle speed by controlling the engine speed. The reduced speed is either specified in the GDE parameter or using the CAN EDI protocol (see APC200 CAN EDI Description).

On the vehicle, it means that the driver has released the accelerator pedal. speed ratio = turbine speed engine speed > 1 Automatic upshift In principle no automatic up-shifts occur in braking mode. The only exception is when the transmission overspeeding limit (depends on transmission model) is reached and the shift lever indicates a higher range than the one selected on the transmission. Automatic downshift Downshifts occur based on vehicle speed. 1.6.4 Direction reversal protections 1.6.4.1 Forward Æ Reverse or visa versa The behaviour of the transmission largely depends on the vehicle speed when the direction change is made. If the vehicle speed is too high (3 km/h typically), the direction change will be postponed and neutral is selected. A warning lamp (if installed) is switched on. If the engine speed is below the limit for direction changes, and the vehicle speed is sufficiently low, the direction change is made immediately without changing the transmission gear. If the engine speed however exceeds the engine limit, the transmission will remain in neutral, and the warning lamp will be switched on until the limit is satisfied. The engine speed limit is typically disabled but can be activated on request. When hydrostatic drive simulation mode is selected, the service brakes are used to automatically decelerate the vehicle below the reversal limit and the engine is forced to idle during that time. 1.6.4.2 Neutral Æ Forward or Reverse (after standstill) If an engine speed limit is used, neither forward nor reverse can be selected when the engine speed is too high. The vehicle speed must be below e.g. 3 kph. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 19/65 1.6.4.3 Forward Æ Neutral Æ Forward When driving in a certain direction and when putting the gear selector in neutral and back in the same direction, the direction will re-engage provided the engine speed has dropped below the limit for direction changes (if used). 1.6.5 Behaviour in neutral Coasting in neutral on a downhill could cause overspeeding of internal transmission components. In order to protect against this, if the transmission is in neutral, the control unit shifts to the next higher gear when the vehicle speed exceeds 5 kph (1st gear), 10 kph (2nd gear). A downshift will be made at following typical vehicle speeds: 3kph (2nd gear), 8kph (3rd gear), 14kph (4th gear). The shift lever position limits the highest position that will be selected – e.g. if placed in 2nd, the controller is not allowed to protect the transmission by shifting to 3rd. When hydrostatic drive simulation mode is selected, the machine is brought to a stop (active braking) when neutral is selected. When standing still, the brakes are applied to hold the vehicle even on a grade. 1.6.6 Output functions. 1.6.6.1 Transmission control outputs The transmission is controlled through variable force solenoids (VFS) and clutch selectors. The signals on these outputs are transmission specific and are optimized for each application. 1.6.6.2 Warning lamp When a direction change or a downshift is made at too high vehicle speed, the warning lamp is switched on and the request is not executed In case of an inhibited direction change, the transmission is put in neutral. In case of an inhibited downshift, the current gear remains engaged. When the vehicle speed has dropped sufficiently, the request is handled and the warning lamp is switched off. In some configurations, the warning lamp also conveys information about current faults: if a fault is active (i.e. present), the warning lamp is blinking. The driver knows the difference between faults and protections through the fact that the lamp is either blinking or on continuously. 1.6.6.3 Engine control via CAN In case the engine is equipped with an engine controller capable of communicating via the CAN 2.0B, the APC200 is able to control the engine to further enhance shift quality. In case of automatic shifting, the APC200 may reduce the engine torque to the transmission. Once the shift is over, the engine torque is gradually increased to its normal level. The APC200 uses the SAE J1939 TSC1 message to control the speed (not the torque) of the engine. The source address is 03 by default and the destination address is 00. The message has a priority of 6 and is transmitted at a bitrate of 250 kbps every 20 ms. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 20/65 1.6.6.4 Engine control by APC200 The APC200 has a H-bridge output capable of controlling standard (BOSCH) engine control servo motors with position feedback. This provision can optionally be used to provide ‘throttle by wire’. Several engine control modes are available. Alternatively, the APC200 can be programmed to send TSC1 messages on the CAN bus to control a SAE J1939 compatible engine. 1.7 The APC200 Inching System The term ‘inching’ refers to the process of driving a vehicle at low speed while the engine runs at a high speed, independent from the vehicle speed. The target of inching is to temporarily reserve the engine power for controlling the hydraulics while still being able to precisely maneuver the vehicle. The APC200 implements this functionality by slipping the direction clutches, limiting the power that can be absorbed from the engine. The inching system can be operated both in forward and in reverse and in any range. It will be most effective however in 1st range. Automatic shift is typically disabled while inching. 1.7.1 Operation The inching system is controlled with the left brake pedal. The obtained effect depends on how deep you press the brake pedal. Inch speed as function of brake pedal position No Inching Inch speed (kph) 10 8 8 Speed control 6 Low Speed against brake 4 De-clutch 2 0 0.3 0 0 25 50 75 100 Brake position (%) The 35% point in above graph is called the MID point and should correspond to the point where the brakes actually start braking.

[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 21/65 1.7.2 Activation of the inching system Below conditions must be met simultaneously to start the inching function In order to activate the inching system, you have to push the left brake pedal beyond 5% you must depress the ‘inching-enable ’ switch (mounted on the left pedal). A certain minimum engine speed is required to provide the required torque, but apart from that, it doesn’t influence the vehicle speed – so the engine can be at full throttle to speed up the hydraulics or steering (typically no minimum engine speed limit is implemented). The APC200 will try to match the desired inching speed as close as possible. This speed depends on the current brake pedal position. While inching, it’s not required to keep the ‘inching enable’ switch pressed. 1.7.3 Leaving Inching mode If either of below conditions is met, the inching function will be switched off and normal converter operation will be resumed. Release the brake pedal below 5% ( i.e. release it completely for all practical purposes) Note that releasing the ‘inching enable’ switch will not stop the inching function. Select Neutral or the other direction. Note that when changing direction, if the changeover is made while the ‘inching enable’ switch is still pressed, the inching mode will re-activate in the opposite direction. When the inching torque reaches the allowed maximum for longer than 1 second (parameter) When inching is stopped because of the 1second protection, the direction clutch gradually closes completely and inching is disabled until the brake pedal is completely released (below 5%). 1.7.4 Protections preventing Inching mode As described above, when you force the inching system to its limits (for instance when trying to inch against the parking brake), it shuts off and the clutch is smoothly pressurized resulting in converter drive. This can result in unwanted acceleration. This protection remains active until the brake pedal is completely released – regardless of whether you change direction Several system conditions can cause the inching system to become disabled : 1. Speed sensor problem. 2. Brake pedal sensor problem. If the sensor fails while inching, in order to leave inching mode you have to select neutral. After that, inching won’t be activated. 1.7.5 Function of the brake pedal in relation with inching Brake pedal position effect 0% – 4 % Inching is disabled 5% – 34% Continuous inching speed control – no vehicle braking SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 22/65 35% – 69% Fixed inching speed – gradually increasing brake force 70% - 100% Transmission is disconnected – further increasing braking force In the 5% - 35% brake pedal range, the service brakes don’t actually apply braking force. This range is used to control the vehicle speed throughout the entire 1st gear speed range. Generally the higher inching speeds are used to smoothly transition from low speed inching into converter drive. Indeed, suddenly releasing the brake pedal causes a noticeable ‘shift’ back into converter drive – comparable to a ‘Neutral – Gear’ shift whereas a gradual release allows a more continuous engagement. Note that in this range, if the speed is too high, the APC200 – as it doesn’t control the vehicle brakes – can only take away traction. If this is the case, you have to press the brakes more firmly to help the speed reduce. In the 35% - 70% brake pedal range, the target inching speed is fixed at 0,3 km/h. This range is useful for slowly approaching your target, inching uphill or downhill without excess speed variations. The braking force in this range is sufficient to control the vehicle speed in most conditions. The 70% - 100% range is used to really make the vehicle decelerate or hold it in standstill condition. In this range, the target speed is 0 km/h – i.e. the transmission is disconnected from the wheels. 1.7.6 Function of the brake pedal without inching When the (left or right) brake pedal is pressed without pressing the ‘Inch-Enable’ switch, the inching system remains off. This means you just get standard braking. However once the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h (adjustable) and you press the brake pedal in the 70% - 100% range, the transmission is placed in neutral. This ‘standard’ de-clutch function improves vehicle braking. Additionally it prevents that you inadvertently overheat the transmission. Releasing the brake pedal below 70% causes the transmission to re-engage smoothly. 1.7.7 Tips for effectively using the inching system 1.7.7.1 Inching in general If you come to a situation where you want to start inching, press the left brake pedal (including the inching-enable switch) to reduce speed. Brake, as firm as needed - don’t worry about the inching speed. As you get closer to the desired speed gradually release the brake pedal to help the inching system kick in smoothly. This way you prevent that the vehicle comes to a complete stop and that you loose time taking off again. It takes some experience to get it to work every time, but once you get the hang of it, it feels quite natural. As soon as you the inching system is enabled, the engine is disconnected and it can accelerate to speed up the hydraulics. If required while decelerating, the APC200 automatically shifts down sequentially to 1st (note that while inching these shifts can cause a slight shudder). It’s possible to change direction while inching at full throttle. In other words, if you’re too close to an obstacle, it’s okay to just reverse the direction with the foot on the brake (and on the ‘inching- SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 23/65 enable’ switch) and the engine at full throttle. Make sure to cycle the shift lever quickly to the other direction as otherwise the inching system gets disabled. When standing still and you want to start while inching, you’d typically press the brake into the declutch range (with the ‘inching-enable’ switch pressed !) and slowly release it, holding it halfway until the vehicle starts rolling. Once it’s rolling, further release the brake pedal in order to pick up more speed. 1.7.7.2 Uphill inching Driving uphill generally takes a lot of power, quite often more than the inching system is allowed to provide. Nevertheless, there are conditions where inching can be used quite successfully on a slope - for instance on slopes typically used to load trucks and trailers – provided the vehicle is not heavily loaded. If you have a good ‘run-in’ on the slope, you best start inching before the start of the slope. If you start inching on the slope, depending how you treat the brake pedal, you run the risk of coming to a stop and eventually start rolling backwards. Once you roll backwards the inching system gets confused and won’t help you slow down again. Note that on most transmissions the APC200 is not capable to sense the actual driving direction, causing it to mistake the rolling backwards for forward movement. The thing to do in that case is to stop on the hill (and de-clutch) and gently release the brake pedal until you get forward movement again. Careful brake pedal usage usually gets you where you want. The APC200 has a built-in feature that protects the inching clutches. If you use the inching system in a condition where the required inching torque exceeds a pre-programmed limit, the inching system is disabled and the clutch engages into converter drive. When this happens (and it will on certain slopes and with certain loads), you will have to reduce the engine speed to control the vehicle speed. This behavior is what you’d want anyway, because the inching system would not be able to provide the power required to get you moving in this condition. 1.7.7.3 Downhill inching While driving downhill the APC200 has no means to control the vehicle speed. This means you’re on your own as far as inching is concerned. Following remarks may help you make the best of it however. When inching downhill, the brake pedal will always be in the 35% - 100% range – that is if you want to hold the vehicle at a controlled speed. This means that the target speed is always 0,3 km/h as far as the inching system is concerned. If you brake to slow down below this speed, you’ll find, the APC200 fights you (it tries to achieve 0,3 km/h). Eventually if you hold the vehicle stopped without going to de-clutch (brake range 35% 70%) the inching torque eventually will make the vehicle move when it conquers the braking force you apply. This feels awkward and should be prevented. The best you can do is make sure you keep rolling or if you want to stop, go to de-clutch. On steeper slopes consider going down in converter drive with the engine at idle. 1.8 The APC200 Hydrostatic simulation system SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 24/65 On systems equipped with a proportional brake valve and a system to control the engine speed (either with a servo motor or through the CAN – bus), the APC200 can simulate the behaviour of a hydrostatic drive system. 1.8.1.1 General In this mode, you control the vehicle with the accelerator pedal only. The brake pedal is there just in case of emergency. The APC200 optimizes the use of engine and brakes to get you the speed you want. Indeed, the accelerator pedal is used no longer to control the engine but serves to tell how fast you want to drive. If you’re going uphill, the engine will rev-up automatically; if you go down hill, the brakes will automatically kick in to hold the speed. 1.8.1.2 Normal driving To drive the vehicle, you just press the accelerator pedal and the control system does the rest. You will notice changes in engine speed as they are required to satisfy your needs. Special care is taken to preserve the advantages of converter drive : if you release the accelerator pedal partially, you will notice that the vehicle coasts as in normal converter drive mode. It’s only if you release the accelerator pedal significantly that active braking causes significant braking. To guarantee precise manoeuvrability under the most demanding circumstances, a special creep mode was designed offering ‘millimeter precise’ control using a single pedal (even on a 20% slope with a significant load). There’s no longer the need to use the brakes together with the throttle pedal – the APC200 takes care of this for you. 1.8.1.3 Direction reversals When you change the shift lever direction, the controller will (depending on the situation) automatically de-throttle the engine and apply the service brakes to decelearte the machine. When the speed is low enough, the engine is accelerated again and the brakes are turned off. 1.8.1.4 Integrated inching The APC200 senses the position of the fork lifting control (either directly using an analogue input or through the CAN bus) and uses it to decide whether or not to engage the inching mode. So, simply lifting the forks automatically engages the inching system. Furthermore, the engine speed is raised proportionally to the lever movement, giving more precise control over the lifting action. The switch from engine drive to inching drive is so smooth that you generally don’t feel the transition. Additionally, the inching system now operates in any gear position up to a speed of 10 kph (parameter). When the fork lever is released, the controller switches back to hydrostatic drive mode as smooth as possible. 2. Safety related requirements 2.1 Applicable safety guidelines The control system was designed and developed in close adherence to ISO1508.

[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 25/65 2.2 Safety concept 2.2.1 General The safety concept is based on the control system's safety classification according to ISO 1508 and on the definition of the Fail Safe State for a powershift transmission used in earthmoving equipment. The applicable safety class requires considering single faults affecting driver safety and a redundant method to achieve the fail-safe state in case of a single safety critical fault. For earthmoving equipment, acceptable fault conditions are considered to be: - Fail to higher range - Fail to next lower range The fail-safe state (to be attained when all else fails) is: - Fail to Neutral 2.2.2 ECM/APC200 implementation The control valve concept guarantees fail to Neutral in case of loss of power through use of a redundant normal open Drive solenoid. A pressure switch that measures the system pressure after the Drive solenoid can monitor its function. These properties are used in the APC200 to implement the safety concept. ECM requires that 2 clutches can be pressurised simultaneously. Normally the pressure in 1 clutch is increasing while the pressure in the other clutch is decreasing. If the overlap is not carefully monitored, one can achieve a situation in which clutch 1 is closed while clutch 2 is not opened yet. This situation is called "locking clutches." The result is that the transmission stops instantly. The APC200 software deals with potential problems related to this by continuously monitoring relations between and changes in various speed signals. All faults described below refer to electrical connections. The APC200 is in no way capable of detecting mechanical problems on its input and output devices except indirectly by analysing the speed signals. The APC200 monitors its inputs and outputs in order to detect internal and external faults. Due to hardware limitations, fault monitoring is not always possible. The detection principles and their limitations are described wherever applicable. All detected faults are reported within 0.3 seconds, but only safety critical faults are acted upon. Faults resulting in loss of drive are tolerated. Faults resulting in unwanted clutch engagement result in immediate selection of Neutral using one of two available redundant shutdown methods. Depending on the severity, this reaction can be permanent (until power is switched off) or last until the fault is removed. Some faults are tolerated but the performance of the system is crippled when the fault persists. 2.3 Considered faults • Over voltage • Under voltage SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 26/65 • Internal faults • Program out of control • Single faults on outputs • Incorrect input patterns • Intermittent power loss • Speed sensor faults • Analogue sensor failure • Redundant Shutdown Path fault 2.4 Behaviour in case of faults 2.4.1 General It is considered critical to be able to select Neutral in all circumstances. Selection of Neutral also is considered the safe state in case of many faults. The APC200 has been designed to guarantee automatic selection of Neutral in some conditions. This is accomplished through use of two separate watchdog timers and a redundant shutdown path for outputs. 2.4.2 Reset Condition When power is applied, the APC200 first selects Neutral without range clutch engaged and starts initialising itself. This includes a series of self-tests to assure system integrity. This position is believed to be the safest possible condition in case of an intermittent power failure. The initialisation phase takes about 1 second. It includes Power On Self Test and integrity testing of the redundant shutdown path. After power up, the APC200 is in the so-called Neutral Lock State. This means that the transmission remains in Neutral until the shift lever is cycled physically through Neutral. 2.4.3 Over voltage The APC200 is very tolerant to large transients on its power lines (see also 3.4). Even power supply levels up to 48 V will not damage circuit components. However, a magneto-resistive sensor supply voltage in excess of about 16.5Vdc prevents the speed sensor circuit from operating (fault indicated). A fault indication on the display is given to warn the driver of the problem. 2.4.4 Under voltage The APC200 operates at voltages well below 18 Vdc. Below 11 Vdc however the APC200 enters the reset condition and shuts off all outputs. Because the APC200 is not involved in functions essential to engine cranking this is not considered as a problem.

These tests consist of the following: • CPU integrity check (ALU, registers, operators) • Internal RAM test (Modified March–C test) • Program Flash memory integrity check (Modified 16 bit checksum) • External RAM test (Modified March–C test) • Parameter Flash memory integrity check (Modified 16 bit checksum per parameter) • Redundant Shutdown Path integrity check If these tests prevent operation as a transmission controller, then the APC200 locks itself in a reset state, with all outputs off. If faults related to shift limits are detected but controlling the transmission is still possible, the APC200 reverts to shut-down mode (SHDN). In this mode, the transmission can not be operated.

At power up, before the solenoid is activated, the pressure feedback (Analog Input 0) must indicate low pressure. Then after activating the solenoid, the pressure must rise within a given timeout. After power-up, the pressure feedback signal is ignored if the engine speed is lower than 500 RPM. When the engine speed exceeds this limit, this signal is still ignored for an additional 2 seconds to allow the system to build up the pressure. If any of this fails or occurs too late, permanently flagged faults are generated, and the APC200 is not allowed to operate. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459

Additionally, during program execution, critical variables are continuously checked for content integrity. If faults are detected, the APC200 defaults to the reset state. 2.4.8 Intermittent power loss After power is restored, the APC200 enters the reset condition, resulting in the immediate selection of neutral – no clutch engaged. It stays there until the shift lever is placed in Neutral and the vehicle speed drops to a safe level at which moment normal operation starts (selection of 1st or 2nd depending on application preferences). In absence of power, the transmission defaults to Neutral (provided the redundant Drive solenoid operates as expected). 2.4.9 Single faults on analogue outputs General Faults related to analogue outputs are detected by various principles. Besides being monitored just like ON/OFF outputs the current through their sense line is compared to the target current. Significant deviations from the target current are treated as faults too.

This implies that if an output is intended to be OFF it is not possible to detect shorts to ground. If on the other hand, the output is intended to be ON, open circuit faults or shorts to battery plus cannot be detected. In order to circumvent this problem, each critical on/off output is toggled for 1ms every 220 ms in order to capture all faults. Any fault relating to an output used by the application is flagged. The APC200 cannot distinguish between open load or forced to plus conditions. An open circuit condition on these outputs is therefor interpreted as a 'forced to plus' condition. Faults related to A15, A16 (VFS selectors) Faults related to A15, A16 result in selection of Limp Home mode Faults related to A10 or A20 (Redundant ShutDown path solenoid control) Any fault related to A10 or A20 immediately results in Shut Down mode. These outputs control the redundant transmission shutdown solenoid. A fault related to this solenoid implies that the APC200 cannot select neutral in case of a severe fault on a critical output.

Direction selection related inputs: 40.06 A three input direction selection mechanism (using redundancy) is used to allow detecting any fault related to the direction inputs. A fault on the direction inputs immediately results in the selection of Neutral. Range selection related inputs: 41.06 Two inputs are used to encode 3 ranges, allowing to do some fault checking. An incorrect pattern is flagged as a fault. During its presence, the last correct position remains selected. Meaning of indication of FAULT TYPE on the display 40.06 41.06 • Invalid shift lever direction detected • Invalid shift lever position detected 2.4.12 Speed sensor faults The fault detection relies on a permanent monitoring of sensor current. If it gets too low, an open circuit condition is assumed. Conversely, if it is too high, a short to ground is signalled. Faults related to incorrect sensor mounting or sensor malfunction for transmission speed related sensors are detected by comparing actual transmission ratios with selected ratios. If one or two vehicle speed sensors fail (turbine, output or drum sensor), the controller will signal the error but will calculate the value based on the remaining sensors. This will allow the driver to continue driving. If more than one sensor or the engine speed sensor fail, the controller is no longer considered safe to operate. In this case, the controller will switch to LIMP HOME mode. A sensor specific fault indication on the display is given to warn the driver of the problem.

Please verify using the appropriate wiring diagram Pressure Feedback Sensor Failure ( 50 ) If the valve-resident pressure switch is shorted or has an open connection, this fault is shown. Considering it’s critical role in ensuring the safety integrity of the drivetrain, any fault related to this input is reflected in the ‘Redundant Shutdown Path Error’ fault and results in system shutdown. Transmission Temperature Sensor Failure ( 51 ) If the temperature sensor indicates a transmission temperature below -50°C, a short to ground condition is assumed. If the temperature sensor indicates a transmission temperature beyond +150°C, an open circuit condition is assumed. Either condition is indicated on the display to warn the driver of the problem. While the fault is present, the temperature value is limited at the lowest or highest (whatever is applicable) value used for temperature compensation. This results in poor compensation if this function is enabled. Cooler Input Temperature ( 52 ) On transmissions with analog cooler input temperature sensor, open and short circuit conditions are detected and signalled. In case an ON/OFF temperature switch is used, no faults will be flagged. Any such fault results in a ‘Value Out Of Range’ fault on the Converter Temperature reading showing up as fault ‘42’ described below. Check with the specific application’s wiring diagram for references to the applied sensor type. Accelerator Position Sensor Failure ( 56 ) If the accelerator pedal sensor produces an out of range value, the accelerator position is assumed to be at 0%. Æ This results in Low Accelerator shift point selection. A fault is indicated on the display. Brake Pedal Position Sensor Failure ( 53 ) If the brake pedal sensor produces an out of range value, the brake pedal position is assumed to be at 0%. Æ Inching and declutch are disabled.

If such a fault occurs, the error display intermittently shows this code and the word ‘Code’. When the fault is read though the CAN-bus, no special indication is provided other than the fact that these fault codes have numbers from 9099. In case such a fault occurs, please contact the European Spicer Off Highway service department located in Brugge – Belgium for assistance. 2.4.17 Indication of faults When a fault is detected, the E -led starts flashing. In order to find out which fault was last detected hold the 'S' switch for about a second. The display will then show the fault area. When holding the button another second or so, the display shows the number of times the fault has ever occurred (since the last time the fault counters were cleared). When the ‘S’ switch is released, the fault type is shown. A flashing display indicates a faults that’s no longer present. If several faults coexist, pressing the ‘S’ switch before the normal display is resumed selects the next fault for display. Faults are shown in order of severity. After the last fault has been displayed, the display shows ' -- ' meaning no more errors are detected. Below table lists faults in order of severity (severest fault on top) along with displayed codes. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459

Environmental conditions 3.1 Nature of environmental conditions The APC200 is intended to be used on mobile earth moving and material handling machinery and as such is exposed to the severe environmental conditions these machines operate in. The APC200 should be installed inside the driver's cabin protected from direct exposure to rain, dust, and direct steam cleaning. 3.2 Behaviour of the system under certain conditions The built in outputs will automatically shut off in case their junction temperature exceeds 150°C.

Diagnostics and Guidelines 5.1 Diagnostics and maintenance 5.1.1 General Principally there are no specific devices required for first level troubleshooting as the APC200 incorporates several self-test features assisting in this process. Nevertheless, use of digital multi-meters and simple tools such as an indicator lamp will be required to pinpoint exact causes of problems. More in depth troubleshooting and system tuning involves use of a WIN95 Compatible PC with appropriate software and FLASH parameter programming equipment. The APC200 allows recall and modification of non-volatile parameters through RS232. This way, customers can, given the necessary equipment, choose to adapt certain parameters to suit their needs. From a maintenance point of view, this is relevant in so far that the APC200 allows reading back the (modified) parameters along with serial number, part number and modification date. Several PC hosted tools have been developed to ease the service and trouble shooting process. 5.1.2 Self test Functions The APC200 has special circuitry to help verifying its operation. Six self-test groups are built into the APC200 control programs: • Display test and Version • Digital input test • Analogue input test • Speed sensor test • Output test • Voltage test The 'D' led is on while operating the APC200 in diagnostic mode. Note: • If during operation in a self-test mode a fault is detected, the E-led flashes to indicate the presence of the fault. Pressing S-button for a while however in this case will not reveal the reveals the fault code. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459

Switching off the power of the APC200 is the only way to leave the self-test mode. The available information is organised as groups of related displays. Generally, each mode’s start display provides an overview of the status of all members of the group. For instance, the start display of the input test mode cryptically shows the level of each input and the speed sensor test mode shows the frequency of each sensor channel in kHz. Pushing the ‘M’-switch selects the next group in the order listed. By pushing the ‘S’-switch a list of modes with more detailed information about the selected group can be looked through. When a new group is selected with the ‘M’-switch, the display always reverts to the overview display (i.e. the beginning of the mode-list). Pressing a switch (M or S) shortly reselects the current group or mode. This feature is applicable in all diagnostic-groups. After powering up, the display test is activated.

They measure the single-ended resistance of a sensor connected between the input and signal ground B18. When selecting this group the display shows: Releasing the switch brings an overview of the 4 analogue inputs on the display. The values, displayed in kΩ, are separated by a dot. Above display corresponds with a first input of 1 kΩ, a second of 2 kΩ and the last two of 0 kΩ. Values that are more accurate can be found while running through the input specific displays (Sswitch). While pressing the switch, similar to the display of digital inputs, the left side of the display gives information about which input is tested; the right side gives the matching wire. The displayed value when the S-switch is released is the resistance in Ω. Note: Although the APC200 also has 4 current sense and 3 voltage sense inputs, these are not directly accessible through diagnostic displays. The current sense inputs are treated in combination with analogue output test modes The voltage sense inputs are not yet supported by the diagnostics modes 5.1.2.6 Speed sensor test When selecting this mode the display shows: When releasing the ‘M’-switch, again an overview appears on the display. The four values, displayed in thousands of Hertz, are separated by a dot. Speeds below 1000 Hz are shown as 0. Using the ‘S’-switch more detailed information concerning the speeds is available. While pressing the ‘S’-switch, the display shows the speed channel number on the left side of the display while the matching wire is shown right.

In total, there are 11 outputs: • Outputs 0 – 6 are analogue • Outputs 7 – 9 are STP digital outputs • Output 10 is a STG digital output Information that is more specific can be found while running through the different modes (S-switch). While pressing the switch, the left side of the display gives information about which output channel is tested; the right side gives the matching wire number. When releasing the switch the display shows either the actual current in mA, or the logic state of the output (either ‘hi’ or 'lo').

On the output specific screen, the display alternates between the actual state (current value or logic state) and the fault type (open / short / curr / oor). 5.1.2.8 Voltage test When selecting this mode the display shows: The displayed value after the M-switch is released is the PERMANENT VOLTAGE Vp in Volts as measured on wire A01. The two other modes of this group are switched voltage (Vs) and sensor voltage (Vsen), also expressed in Volts. Vs is measured on wire B12. This power supply input is used to allow the APC200 to control the power down process – allowing it to save statistical information in FLASH before actually shutting down. Vsen is measured off an internally generated voltage regulator and should be near 8.0V. It can be measured on any unloaded analogue input channel (e.g. ANI0 on A11). The Vsen voltage is used as a reference for the analogue inputs. 5.2 Technical guidelines for installation The information contained in this section is provided to ease the installation of the APC200 on the vehicle. The main part of the installation concerns connecting APC200 wiring harness with the Transmission's control valve harness. Below table shows the pin functions for the control valve harness and which connections are required between control valve and APC200. Further subsection detail on the connection of power supply and specific inputs and outputs. In below description all references to terminals have prefix A or B if they refer to the APC200 wires and CV if they refer to the control valve wires.

They provide power for the shift logic and for the outputs which control the transmission solenoids. Where A01 (permanent supply terminal) must always be connected to plus, B12 must be connected via the ignition switch. Only this way, the APC200 can save valuable information during power down periods. Because terminal B12 also provides power to outputs, it is recommended to use a relay to apply power to it. The relay contact in turn should be commanded by the ignition key. Ground terminals A21 and B00 These pins are the APC200's ground terminals and must be connected to a well-defined ground potential. This can be the vehicle's chassis but preferably, each is connected with a 1.5mm² wire straight to the battery minus. For the APC200 control to work properly, a T-split of the ground wire (close to the connector) must be made to form a suitable ground reference for the Control Valve Common Ground CV01 and CV08. The Control Valve Common Ground is providing a suitable current return path for the VFS selector Solenoids (A15 and A16). Improper grounding may degrade the control system’s operation. The fact that most outputs conduct pulsed signals tends to generate switching noise on the ground lines. If the ground lines have insufficient quality or are shared with other loads, serious degradation of the analogue input signal quality may result.

[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 52/65 Ground terminal B18 Pin B18 is the signal ground terminal and is intended for following signals • A28, A29 (Temperature sensor) • B11 (Speed sensor 3) • B06, B17 (Accelerator and Brake pedal sensors) • B04 (servo motor feedback signal) • Communication link ground (CAN and RS232) 5.2.2 Input signals Shift lever inputs (A12, A19, A14, and A15) The common terminal of the shift lever is to be connected to the plus (B12). The expected pattern on these inputs is shown on the proper wiring diagram Speed sensor inputs (A22, A24, A26 and B11) These signals are intended to measure the turning speed of various shafts. What type of sensor should be connected and how the signal generated by it is interpreted depends on the parameter settings of the APC200. Standard inductive speed sensors have no polarity and have internal impedance of about 1060 or 390 Ohms (depending on the model). Magneto Resistive sensors however are active electronic elements for which a polarity must be observed. Check the proper wiring diagram for the correct connections. Transmission temperature input (A28) This signal is intended to measure transmission oil temperature. Typically, the temperature sensor is combined with one of the speed sensors. In this case, the ground terminal of the speed sensor serves as ground terminal of the temperature sensor as well and only one pin extra has to be connected to complete the circuit. If a separate sensor is used, it is important to note that the APC200 expects a PTC sensor with a resistance in the range from 0 – 5 kOhms. The proper conversion table can be specified in the FLASH parameter set along with open load and short circuit reference resistance values. The measurement system is single ended. Any fault potential on the ground line causes measurement errors. For this reason, it is important to use the designated ground wire B18 for this purpose. ‘Cooler In’ temperature input (A29) SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
[email protected] APC200 Control System Description for ECM / ECI Controls Doc P/N : 4207049 08 march 2002 Rev 1.1 53/65 This signal is intended to measure transmission oil temperature where it enters the cooler. Typically this is a temperature switch – however analog sensors are supported and will be used in certain applications. The measurement system is single ended. Any fault potential on the ground line causes measurement errors. For this reason, it is important to use the designated ground wire B18 for this purpose. Thottle pedal input (B06) This analogue input expects a voltage in the range of 0V – 5V representing the accelerator pedal position. A suitable 5V reference voltage for powering a 1kOhm potentiometer is available on pin B02. The proper conversion table can be specified in the FLASH parameter set along with open load and short circuit reference voltage values. Brake pedal input (B17) This analogue input expects a voltage in the range of 0V – 5V representing the brake pedal position. A suitable 5V reference voltage for powering a 1kOhm potentiometer is available on pin B02. The proper conversion table can be specified in the FLASH parameter set along with open load and short circuit reference voltage values. 5.2.3 Output signals Wires A02/A03, A04/A05, A06/A07, A08/A09, A15, and A16 are used to control the transmission. The table below reflects the gear pattern generated in each of the transmission ranges. Each wire pair mentioned above is in fact an analogue output that is connected to both sides of a VFS (variable force solenoid). The current programmed through the solenoid is a measure for the pressure applied to the connected clutch.

Example: when shifting from F1 to F2, wire A16 will be active during the transition and is switched off when 2nd gear is engaged. Wire A15 is only used for transmission control on a 4 /4 transmission. On 3 speed transmissions it can be used to signal faults on the dashboard in case there’s no central display. On 24V installations, depending on the type of transmission, the outputs A16 and / or A15 may carry a 100Hz PWM signal. This is required to prevent damage to the 12V solenoids used to control the VFS selectors. Forward VFS (A02 / A03) This solenoid controls the pressure in the forward clutch While Inactive, Forward is selected. When about 1000mA current flows, the forward clutch is open. When both forward and Reverse clutches are commanded closed electrically, the clutches will actually lock, possibly causing the transmission to lock-up. Reverse VFS (A06 / A07 - A04/A05) This solenoid controls the pressure in the reverse clutch While Inactive, reverse is selected. When about 1000mA current flows, the reverse clutch is open. When both forward and Reverse clutches are commanded closed electrically, the clutches will actually lock, possibly causing the transmission to lock-up. 1st / 3rd VFS (A08 / A09) This solenoid controls the pressure of either the 1st or the 3rd clutch. Which clutch is selected depends on the state of the 1/3 VFS selector. When the selector is on (24V on A16), 1st clutch is selected. Otherwise, 3rd clutch is selected While Inactive, the clutch is closed. When about 1000mA current flows, the clutch is open. 2nd / 4th VFS (A04 / A05 - A06/A07) This solenoid controls the pressure of either the 2nd or the 4th clutch. Which clutch is selected depends on the state of the 2/4 VFS selector. When the selector is on (24V on A15), 2nd clutch is selected. Otherwise, 4th clutch is selected While Inactive, the clutch is closed. When about 1000mA current flows, the clutch is open. 5.2.4 Communication interfaces CAN interface This interface complies electrically with ISO11898. The application software supports sending and receiving messages according to the SAE/J 1939 format. The bitrate typically is 250.000 bits per second. Additionally the APC200 supports data acquisition and parameter editing using the CAN communication interface. SPICER OFF-HIGHWAY Ten Briele 3, 8200 Brugge, Belgium Tel: +32/50/402459
