General information
Actuation of the engine brake or constant throttle varies according to the engine model and vehicle equipment.
Actuation, that is activation of the respective permanent brake device, always takes place however over the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2), whose switch positions are detected either by the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) or the retarder control (RS) control unit (A20) depending in whether the vehicle is fitted with or without code (BA1) Performance-optimized Voith retarder or with code (BA9) Voith secondary retarder R 115.
Function sequences
Vehicles with a 4-cylinder engine
All vehicles fitted with a 4-cylinder engine are fitted with a pneumatic constant throttle and an engine brake flap.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The switch positions of the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2) are always detected by the drive control (FR) control unit (A3).
1 Bringing the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2) from its base position (0) into the engine brake stage 1 (1) position causes the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) to actuate the solenoid valve for the pneumatic throttle valve (Y1) on condition that the engine speed exceeds 900 r.p.m. Actuation by the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) opens the pneumatic constant throttle solenoid valve (Y1) and guides compressed air to the constant throttle valve in the cylinder head.
The drive control (FR) control unit (A3) also initiates activation of the indicator lamp for the permanent brake in the instrument (INS) at the same time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Bringing the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2) from the engine brake stage 1 (1) position into the engine brake stage 2 (2) position also causes the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) to actuate both the solenoid valve for the pneumatic constant throttle (Y1) and the solenoid valve for the engine brake flap (Y2).
The engine brake flap solenoid valve (Y2) controls the flow of compressed air to the operating cylinder of the engine brake flap and the braking force increases.
Vehicles with a 6-cylinder engine
All vehicles fitted with a 6-cylinder engine are fitted with an hydraulic constant throttle and an engine brake flap.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The switch positions of the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2) are detected for vehicles without code (BA1) Performance-optimized Voith retarder or code (BA9) Voith secondary retarder R 115 by the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) and for vehicles with an additional retarder by the retarder control (RS) control unit (A20). The latter device passes on switch positions of the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2) in the form of messages via the vehicle CAN bus (1) on the drive control (FR) control unit (A3).
1 Bringing the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2) from its base position (0) into the engine brake stage 1 (1) position causes the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) to actuate the hydraulic constant throttle solenoid valve (Y49) on condition that the engine speed is greater than
900 r.p.m.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) sends an appropriate message via the engine CAN bus (4) to the engine control (MR) control unit (A6) which then actuates the hydraulic constant throttle solenoid valve (Y49).
The hydraulic constant throttle solenoid valve (Y49) opens a feed hole to the control line of the constant throttle valve which is then opened by the oil pressure of the engine.
The drive control (FR) control unit (A3) also initiates actuation of the indicator lamp for the permanent brake in the instrument (INS) at the same time.
2 Bringing the engine control/permanent brake operating lever (S2) from the engine brake stage 1 (1) position into the engine brake stage 2 (2) position causes the drive control (FR) control unit (A3) to also actuate the engine brake flap solenoid valve (Y2). The engine brake flap solenoid valve (Y2) controls the flow of compressed air to the operating cylinder of the engine brake flap and the braking force increases.
