description

Introduction
This manual describes LMS Plustm System installed on the FDC machines.
LMS Plus is based on a multiple CAN bus network, with the integration of
FRED or third part electronic units (nodes), each one dedicated to a specific
function in the machine.
A single display, designed with automotive standards, allows a complete
information management and machine troubleshooting, even if it is not basic for
machine working (machine works even without display).

Main functions:

• Test of all signals connected to the system.

• Advanced driver control management via badge
• Complete boom control, statically and dynamically
• Complete machine speed control, integration with transmission and engine
• Full compatibility with any kind of engine and transmissions (traditional or
new generation)
• Complete spreader control and monitor
• Malfunction black box: all sensors malfunctions, overloads and bypass use
are stored in a permanent memory
• Operative black box: all information of containers moved is stored into a
permanent memory
• container handling information
• Compatibility with TruckTracktm system

LMS Plus sends both black box: operative and alarms. PC server
receives this data and it put on worl wide web. Using a PC connected
on internet it is possible to see how the LMS works (see TruckTrack
manual for more details).

Using the machine

Access Level
1. operators badge (optional)
At machine startup, the system requires for a operator code.
The code can be inserted using the Badge system: each operator must be
provided with its own Badge where the operator code is stored.

The operator code will be used to store any kind of event.

Without code, machine and boom can’t be moved:

transmission is set to neutral and boom is locked

If any problem occurs on Badge reading, LMS Plus will allow a manual code
insertion (using external keyboard); in this case, only maintenance code will be
accepted.

Any login of maintenance code will be stored in the black box.

LMS Plus features

Transmission control
LMS Plus controls transmission in automatic or manual mode (a key on the
panel selects the mode).
In case of manual mode, the driver will have to select the desired speed using
the speed selector.
In case of automatic mode, the operator has only to select the maximum speed
to reach and press the throttle. LMS Plus will insert the proper gear according to
machine speed, the engine RPM and to the parameters stored on the Engine
Plcore (adjustable by mean an external keyboard connected on the display).
If it is installed a new electronic type transmission (like Dana TE series, for
example), nothing will change from operator point of view.

Safeties transmission provided:

All safeties to prevent an incorrect transmission are the followings:
1. engine RPM higher than 1000 RPM (is adjustable)
2. during a changing of the vehicle direction, the machine speed higher
than 0,5 km/h (is adjustable)
3. parking brake: this to prevent excessive stress on transmission
4. the button located close to pedal brake with any gear engaged (declutch
function)
5. Speed sensor check (on drive shaft): If the sensor located on drive shaft
does not supply a correct signal, the transmission is set to neutral; to
reset the alarm, it is necessary to set the speed selector to neutral.
If that was a false warning (sometimes it may happen), the transmission
starts working normally again. In case the sensor was really fault or
disconnected, the transmission will keep always first speed.
Only switching to manual mode it will be then possible to go to any
speed, but, in this case, all safeties will be not active anymore.

9
 LMS Plus FDC– V 72
When one or more of these safeties comes up then the transmission will be set
to neutral position.
All safeties are removable inserting a “BYPASS TRANSMISSION” or “BYPASS
TOTAL”.
The speed of the machine is related to the accelerator pedal position and in
according to the machine limit speed.

High performance provided:

All features to get better a transmission performance are the followings:
1. Pedal kick-down control: pressing throttle pedal at maximum, LMS Plus
moves forward of some percentage (normally 20-30%) shifting points.
This means that shift points will be activated at higher machine speed
and engine RPM..

2. Engine torque control (dethrottle): during shifting (to higher gears) the
engine RPM is decreased automatically, in order to avoid a gears
engagement with engine at high torque. Engine RPM will be restored as
set by pedal with a ramp as soon as the shifting is terminated.

3. Load control: LMS Plus uses the weight information to change shifting
points. In case of machine loaded (over 7 tons), LMS Plus uses a
different shift points table, built so that gears are engaged at higher
speed and engine RPM, in order to have a sufficient engine power to
travel and use the boom.

Mechanical Transmission Clark 36000

In this case the transmission gear valve are connected directly to the Truck
PLCore unit.

Electronic Transmission APC200

In this case the transmission proportional valve are connected directly to the
APC200 unit.

TE27 transmission have its own electronic control unit, called APC200 and this
one receives transmission instructions to set the properly gear from a LMS Plus
by mean a secondary CAN bus communication using (in some part) the
standard J1939. This means APC200 works only in manual mode.
On the main screen of the LMS Plus display, the transmission status and the
shift lever position are shown.

Engine and speed control
LMS Plus controls completely the engine starting from the information of the
pedal position and machine conditions.
The communication protocol follows the standard SAE J1939, and this allows
the control of any kind of engine (equipped with ECU - electronic control unit).

These are functions available:

1. Speed control

Stability condition Maximum speed Notes

Normal 25 Km/h No warning conditions as
above

2. CAN communication control

The system performs a constant check of CAN communication status
with the engine electronic unit, otherwise engine is set to minimum,
independently from pedal position.

3. Engine on/off control

The engine is not started if speed selector is not neutral.
When the operator turn off the engine key, LMS Plus keep engine at
minimum RPM for at least some seconds, in order to avoid turbo charger
overheating.
Engine is shut off with following alarms:

Alarm Alarm threshold

Low fuel level < 5%
High transmission oil temperature > 120 °C
High cooling water temperature > 105 °C
Low engine oil pressure < 1 bar
Low cooling water level (option) Ground signal

Alarm thresholds parameters can be adjusted by technical assistance.

On some special versions, the number and type of events that shut
engine off may be different.

4. Turbo timer
After turn off the key, the engine will be shut down only after some seconds if
the operator has pressed the pedal a full throttle. This function are available
only for Volvo electronics.

or more weight sensor broken and is removable inserting a “BYPASS
OVERLOAD” (if the weight sensor is installed)
2. locked and unlocked sensors are both not active

Spreader 20 – 30 – 40 feet
The condition that allows this function is:
1. to press 20 or 40 button
2. forty seconds timeout

With a “BYPASS 20 40” inserted is necessary to keep pressed the 20, 40 button
to retracts and extends the boom.

Other controls
1. Working lights control
If engine is idle for over a time limit (adjustable), LMS Plus shuts all working
and standard lights off, in order to preserve alternator life from high current
absorption.
2. Brake oil pressure on/off control
A message on the display appears when a low brake oil pressure sensor finds an
alarm.
