4 Product description


Product designation

The MOBA-matic II is a universal control system for building machines of all kind.

The extensive range of sensors used for distance and slope measurement as well as its excellent operating convenience and reliability make MOBA-matic a flexible and efficient control system for pavers, concrete road finishers, mastic asphalt finishers, milling machines, caterpillars, kilvers and motor graders.

The system is based on ultra-modern micro-processor technology and works with a so-called ”CAN-bus“ (Controlled Area Network).

This CAN-bus represents the latest state of the art in electric motorcar equipment and therefore guarantees maximum system safety. Furthermore, it facilitates the system’s central operation and, due to its modular design, its successive extension.

Therefore you may fit in new sensors anytime and without any problems, so that the system will always suit the application requirements.

The heart of the system, the digital controller, identifies all connected sensors automatically as soon as the system is switched on.

In addition to this, the 3D-matic, using total stations or GNSS receivers for 3D control, can be connected to the MOBA-matic II.

Every system’s component (except the cables) is equipped with a type label.

The type label contains the CE-mark (1), the detailed device designation (2), the product’s item number (3) as well as a consecutive serial number (4).

5 Design and function


This section gives an overview of the MOBA-matic II’s design and the product’s basic functionality.

Preface

5.1 Design

The MOBA-matic II system’s centrepiece is the digital controller.

Every control loop and every machine side respectively requires an own controller and at least one related sensor.

Depending on the machine and application type the operator may compile the system individually.

To do so, from the great pool of available sensors the operator simply chooses the sensor that meets the respective requirements best and combines it with the digital controller.

The CAN bus allows to simultaneously connect several sensors to one controller. The operator then selects the respectively active sensor with the help of the software.

Sensors


27

5.2 Function description

The digital controller MMC-2000 contains all buttons necessary to control the system, visual indicators that show the system’s current state at any time as well as the valves’ power outputs.

Here the sensor signals and keyboard entries are processed and passed on to the hydraulics.

The Digi-Slope Sensor SLOS-0150 works with a highprecise, electro-mechanical meter movement and allows the detection of the tool’s slope.

The Digi-Rotary Sensor ROTS-0300 is used for distance measurements and senses the measurement values of an existing reference via mechanical implements.

This may be a taut and measured rope as well as a surface area

(e.g. an already finished road pavement).

The Wire-Rope Sensor ROPS-0900 receives the measurement value via an extendable steel rope and is often used for milling works.

It allows distance measurements and measures in a range of 900 mm.

The Dual-Sonic Sensor DUAS-1000 is used for distance measurements and works with ultrasonic technology.

With a reference measurement to a bail at a defined distance parallel to the actual distance measurement the dual-sonic sensor’s value is temperature-compensated.

28


The Sonic-Ski

®

plus SKIS-1500 is used for distance measurements and works with five ultrasonic sensors.

A sixth sensor serves to compensate the temperature.

The Sonic-Ski

® plus works in a measurement range from 25 cm to approx. 100 cm.

When ground sensing an average value is generated from the measurement values of the Sonic- Ski

®

plus’ five ultrasonic sensors.

When rope sensing the Sonic-Ski

The Big Sonic-Ski

®

revives the averaging principle already known from the Sonic-Ski

®

plus.

To do so usually three sensors (e.g. 3x Sonic-Ski

® plus or 2x Dual-Sonic Sensor [front and rear] + 1x rope sensor [central]) are installed over the whole machine length – or with the help of respective mechanics even beyond.

In exceptional cases the averaging can also be done via two sensors (e.g. Sonic-Ski

®

plus front and rear).

After small irregularities and foreign objects have already been neutralized by the averaging of every single Sonic-Ski

®

plus, the Big Sonic-Ski

®

build-up now also averages and reduces waves and small drawn-out level differences in the subsoil’s longitudinal profile.

The proportional Laser Receiver LS 3000 is a sensor used for distance measurements working with all established rotary lasers as for example red-light transmitters (helium, neon) und infrared transmitters.

Among other things it is used to construct flat sites and works in a reception range of 29 cm.

The multi-channel Laser Receiver CLS-3000 is a sensor used for distance measurements working with all established rotary lasers as for example red-light transmitters (helium, neon) und infrared transmitters.

Among other things it is used to construct flat sites and works in a reception range of 21 cm.

The power masts are only used in connection with the laser receivers.

The Power Mast ETM-900 increases the laser receiver’s reception range considerably, since the sensor can follow up the entire adjustment range of the lift cylinder.

As another advantage the user can position the laser receiver very quickly and comfortably in the transmitter’s laser beam by using the

MOBA-matic II’s operating buttons.

In connection with the power mast the mode for automatic laser search can also be used for height measuring an area.

The MOBA-matic II supports working with 3D.

The machine’s determination of position can be carried out via a satellite receiver (GNSS) as well as a total station and a prism (TPS).

The machine computer compares the current measured values to the planning data and the correction data is adjusted by the MOBAmatic II.


31

Irrespective which sensor is used at the MOBA-matic II’s digital controller, the control principle stays the same:

A control’s basic principle is the ongoing: Measuring - Comparing

– Setting

A control loop serves to put a preset physical value (control variable) to a favoured value (set point) and keep it there, irrespective of potentially occurring errors. To fulfil the control task the control variable’s instantaneous value – the actual value – has to be measured and compared to the set point. In case of deviations appropriate adjustments have to be made.

6 Operating and display elements, operating modes


Preface

This section gives an overview of all elements necessary for the product’s appropriate operation, described in the section

“Operation“.

6.1 The operating and display elements of the digital controller

The front side of the MOBA-matic II’s digital controller features all keys necessary for the system’s extended operation, several function LEDs as well as a colour display which at any time shows the system’s current state.

The digital controller’s front side can be devided into 4 main function groups:

1) The LED arrow

2) The 3.5“ colour display

3) The function keys F1 to F3

4) The operating keys

The Up key

The Down key

The Auto-/Manual key

The Enter key


33

6.1.1 The LED arrow

The LED arrow shows the operator the respectively driven valve output’s current state. It is particularly helpful in case the user is standing at a larger distance from the controller or during stronger solar radiation.

6.1.2 The 3.5“ colour display

The 240 (w) x 320 (h) pixel, backlit colour display shows the sensor type selected for the respective control loop as well as its set point and actual value during the normal work project.

In different menus options and parameters are displayed or system advice and instructions on configuration and settings are provided.

7) Set value to refer to when adjusting (set point)

8) Physical measuring unit of the currently selected sensor

9) Direction of cross slope (only Digi-Slope Sensor)

10) Function of key F1 (here: call up sensor selection)

11) Function of key F2 (here: call up view menu)

12) Function of key F3 (here: call up operator menu)


35

The active sensor’s actual value (5) and set points (7) are displayed with a sign. In addition, the set point is displayed with a physical measuring unit (8).

The sign indicates a positive or a negative numerical value.

The display only shows the negative sign, “ - “ !

The direction arrows (9) only appear when the Digi-Slope Sensor has been selected as active sensor.

The displayed arrow’s slope direction is the sign for the Digi-

Slope Sensor’s value (left slope or right slope). Both arrows simultaneously only are displayed together with „0.0 %“.

The displayed values’ resolution and physical measuring unit can be set in the configuration menu – separately for distance sensors and slope sensors.

6.1.3 The function keys

Depending on the window or menu you entered, the function keys

F1 to F3 are assigned differently.

Their respective function is explicitly indicated on the display by a symbol, making navigation in the individual menus clear and easy.

An empty text field above a function key shows that this key is without function in the current menu.

Examples:

6.1.4 The operating keys

To operate the MOBA-matic II’s basic control functions 4 keys are sufficient.

Up key & Down key

With the Up key or the Down key the control’s set point is changed in automatic mode.

In manual mode the related valve output is driven for the time of the respective keystroke.

In the menus they serve to select menu items or set parameters.

Auto/Manual key

The Auto/Manual key is used to switch between the operating modes Manual, Semi-automatic (optional) and Automatic.

Enter key

With the Enter key the set point is equated with the actual value and/or a zero adjustment is carried out.


6.2 The display elements of the proportional Laser Receiver

37

The laser receiver is equipped with an

LED arrow (1) – similar to that of the digital controller.

The function of the laser receiver’s

LED arrow differs depending on the operating mode the digital controller it is connected to is currently in.

In the operating mode “Manual“ it serves as positioning aid; in the operating mode “Automatic“ it shows the valve output’s status.

38


The proportional Laser Receiver’s display in the operating mode “Manual“

In the operating mode “Manual“ the laser receiver’s LEDs show the operator how to shift the sensor in a way that the laser beam centrally hits the receiving range.

They serve as positioning aid.

The laser beam hits the receiver at the centre;

The laser beam hits the receiver max. 2 cm below the centre;

Move the laser receiver and the mast respectively slightly downwards;

The laser beam hits the receiver below the centre;

Move the laser receiver and the mast respectively downwards;

= LED off = LED flashes = LED on


39

The proportional Laser Receiver’s display in the operating mode “Automatic“

In the operating mode “Automatic“ the laser receiver’s LEDs visualise the status of the respective driven valve output to the operator.

They now are working analogue to the digital controller’s LEDdisplay.

6.3 Fault indications

A simultaneous flashing of all LEDs of the digital controller’s LED arrow indicates a disturbance.

Often these disturbances are not really defects but point out an attempt to operate under unauthorized conditions.

For information on troubleshooting please see the description of working with the individual sensors as well as the section “Leads on troubleshooting“.

= LED flashes

6.4 Operating modes

Manual

In the operating mode “Manual“ the tool is directly moved via the

Up/Down keys of the digital controller.

Automatic

In the operating mode “Automatic“ the set point for the tool is changed via the digital controller’s Up/Down keys.

In case the comparison of the measured actual value and the set point results in a difference, the digital controller automatically actuates the outputs until this difference is corrected. flashes

Semi-automatic 1

In the operating mode “Semi-automatic“ the set point for the tool can be changed with the digital controller’s Up/Down keys.

However, since the outputs are locked in this operating mode, the tool is not actuated.

1

This operating mode appears in case the optional operating version including a semi-automatic mode has been activated by your MOBA dealer (see next page) or if the MOBA-matic II System has been locked via the function “External manual“.

6.5 Operating versions


41

Selecting from three versions your MOBA dealer can set the controller’s operation for you. The operation differs as follows:

6.5.1 Standard operation

In the operating mode “Automatic“ the set point is gradually adjusted in 1 mm steps as long as the respective key is pressed.

The tool is moved corresponding to the presetting.

The changed set point is shown in the display.

By simultaneously pressing the Enter key and the Up key or the

Down key the displayed set point can be changed without influencing the tool position.

6.5.2 Semi-automatic operation

In the operating mode “Semi-automatic“ and “Automatic“ the set point is gradually adjusted in 1 mm steps as long as the respective key is pressed.

Since the outputs are locked in the “Semi-automatic“ mode, the tool first is not actuated.

When the operating mode “Semi-automatic“ is switched to the operating mode “Automatic“ the outputs are released and the control moves the tool corresponding to the presetting.

In both operating modes the changed set point is shown in the display.

By simultaneously pressing the Enter key and the Up key or the

Down key the displayed set point can be changed without influencing the tool position.

With the Auto/Manual key the operating modes “Manual“, “Semiautomatic“ and “Automatic“ are circularly switched.

42


6.5.3 Operation with auto zero adjustment

In the operating mode “Automatic“ with every new stroke of the

Up or the Down key the set point is adjusted by 2 mm in the respective direction.

The tool is moved corresponding to the presetting.

After 5 seconds the displayed value is automatically adopted as zero point; i.e. the set point and the actual value are both set to

0.0.

The operation of the individual sensors in this manual is described according to the controller’s standard operation.

Specific differences of the operating versions (as for example the additional operating mode “Semi-automatic“ or the different step sizes when adjusting the set point) are not affecting the general operating process.


6.6 Variants of the cross operation

43

These special variants serve to operate the respectively other side’s levelling ”by remote control“.

They are only available in a fully wired system, i.e. if both controllers are connected via CAN.

Your MOBA dealer can set the controller’s operation choosing from four variants differing from each other as follows:

0 no cross operation available

1 only display of the other side

2 display and operation of the other side

3 display and operation of both sides in table form

Please find more detailed information in the chapter ”Cross operation“ in this manual.

7 Installation and initial operation


Preface

This section’s descriptions shall instruct the authorized personnel when installing and initially operating.

7.1 Safety instructions

The product’s installation and initial operation may only be carried out by specialized personnel.

CAUTION

Risks caused by inaccurate installation!

Unauthorized rebuildings at the machine due to the product’s installation and faults when installing may impair the machine’s function and safety and therefore lead to hazardous situations or cause material damages.

Therefore: y Have installation and initial operation solely carried out by accordingly instructed personnel.

• Observe the machine manufacturer’s instructions!

In case sufficient instructions do not exist, contact the machine manufacturer before installation.

• Safety and protective equipment that had to be deinstalled or removed due to the system’s installation have to be reassembled or put back to function again immediately after the work has been completed.


45

7.2 Assembly

Preface

For the system component’s dimension and the position of fixing holes please see the section “Technical data“ in this manual.

When choosing the assembly sites for the individual components please consider the additional space required for plugging the connecting plugs in and out.

Assembly site

& installation position

Due to the multitude of possible applications of the MOBAmatic II and the multitude of different machines only general information on the individual component’s assembly site and installation position can be given here.

The digital controller

Your MOBA dealer will provide you with a fixture in which the digital controller can easily be clipped in.

Assemble the fixture at a position that allows convenient operation and from which the tool and the tool’s adjustment unit are clearly visible.

Protect the controller from dirt and splash water. Shadowing improves the display’s clearness.

The digital controller should be tilted downwards to let rain drain off the surface.

46


The Digi Slope Sensor

Mount the Digi-Slope Sensor in parallel to the tool’s bottom edge at a machine part that executes all slope deviations to the same extent. This way the sensor’s measured value exactly represents the tool’s slope.

In a road miller the bottom part of the machine (e.g. on the milling drum housing) is preferred; in a paver the sensor is mounted on the transverse traverse between the tow arms.

For the assembly four fixing holes are provided in the fixing plate.

The plug connections have to be easily accessible to allow easy connection.

IMPORTANT! Note the sensor’s mounting direction (the arrow on the housing cover points to the moving direction).

Fixture for grade sensors

For the grade sensor’s holding fixtures a fixing tube has to be mounted at a suitable position (at the paver e.g. at the tow arm or at the milling machine at the chassis).

This fixing tube – with a round holding fixture for the MOBA grade sensors – should be height adjustable, swivelling and horizontally shiftable. See example below.

With the round sensor head and the swivelling holding arm the sensors can be installed over every reference without any problem (e.g. Sonic-Ski

®

plus in ground sensing or string line sensing mode).

Depending on the machine type this fixture may look different.


47

1) Loosen the clamping screws at the fixing tube.

2) Insert the round centring pivot at the sensor housing’s upper side vertically into the fixing tube.

3) Twist the sensor housing in moving direction.

4) Fix the sensor’s centring pivot with the clamping screws.

Fixing tube

Clamping screws

Centring pivot

Fixture

The Digi Rotary Sensor

For sensing the different references with the Digi Rotary Sensor two auxiliary means are available.

The sensing tube is used for rope sensing; the sensing ski is used for area sensing.

Mounting the sensing tube to the sensing arm:

1) Loosen the nut at the sensing tube’s thread.

2) Shift the sensing tube into the sensing arm’s fixing ring.

3) Secure the sensing tube with the nut.

48


Mounting the sensing ski to the sensing arm:

1) Loosen the security splint from the sensing ski’s bolt; remove bolt.

2) Position the ski‘s fixture over the sensing arm’s fixing ring.

3) Push the bolt through the ski’s fixture and the fixing ring.

4) Secure the bolt with the splint.

Mounting the sensing arm to the Rotary Sensor:

1) Turn the flat part of the axis to the sensor side averted from the plug.

2) Loosen the clamping screw at the sensing arm.

3) Plug the sensing arm onto the axis.

4) Screw the clamping screw to the flat part of the axis.

The Laser Receiver

Mounting a Laser Receiver to the mast tube is easy:

1) Open the mounting clamp.

2) Push the Laser Receiver over the mast tube.

3) Shut the mounting clamp.

1) 2) 3)


49

The Laser Mast

To mount a Laser Receiver a fixed mast, a telescopic mast, or – better – a power mast should be available at the machine.

With a tube diameter of 30 mm to 46 mm a MOBA Laser Receiver can be securely fixed.

Irrespective of the mast type, it has to be ensured that it is positioned vertically in the tool’s typical working position.

Ideally, the mast is mounted in an adjustable way to be able to keep the mast upright in variable working positions.

In addition, an adjustable (inclinable) mast serves safety and allows easier handling.

e.g.

The optimal mounting position for a laser mast at the milling machine is at the machine’s respective outer face, over the milling drum axis; at the paver it is at the outer screed edge, level with the auger.

7.3 Wiring

Preface

Also the MOBA-matic II’s sensors are connected to the digital controller via the “CAN bus“ (Controller Area Network) mentioned above.

The bus technology requires terminating resistors.

To make the wiring as easy as possible MOBA already equipped a part of its sensor cables with these terminating resistors.

To differentiate these cables from others the cable coating has been coloured yellow and the cable glands at the plugs are grey.

Connect the digital controller’s 12-pin plug to the machine’s 10pin plug using a machine connection cable.

Connect the favoured sensor to the digital controller’s sensor input.

The cable at the digital controller’s (7-pin) sensor input has to be a yellow sensor cable with terminating resistors.


51

Also in case of segmented sensor constellations (e.g. Big Sonic-

Ski

®

, Power Mast with Laser Receiver) the cable in direct connection to the digital controller’s (7-pin) sensor input has to be a yellow sensor cable with terminating resistors.

All further cables in the sensor combination are black standard cables and must not have terminating resistors.

The following scheme shows the wiring of a MOBA 3D system.

Via special junction boxes connected to the machine’s connection cables and via the Digi-Slope Sensor the left and right control loops are connected to each other.

All cables in the system are black standard cables, since in this constellation the terminating resistors are positioned firmly wired in both junction boxes.

For more detailed information see user manual MOBA 3D.

52


7.4 Initial operation

In case your machine has been delivered with the MOBA-matic II levelling system, the manufacturer presumably already has commissioned the machine and adjusted the controller parameters to the valves and the machine’s hydraulics ex works.

If the system has been installed later please contact your MOBA dealer, who will support you in commissioning the MOBA-matic II.

In this case among others the controller parameters have to be adjusted to the valves and the machine’s hydraulics during this procedure.

8.2 First steps

The section “First steps“ provides you with information on starting-up the system as well as the description of the sensor selection and the display menu.

You also will find instructions on how to navigate within the operator menu and how to set the respective parameters.

Before starting-up

8.2.1 Starting-up

Before the first start-up the MOBA-matic II has to be visually inspected.

Check all system components referring obvious damages, all cable connections for securely fitted position and all sensors for secure and accurate assembly.

When starting-up the MOBA-matic II ensure that no persons or objects are located in the tool’s area or the range of moving parts for the tool’s control.

Switch the supply voltage of the MOBA-matic II on.

Depending on the system installation, this can be done by turning the machine’s ignition key or by activating a separate switch on the dashboard.

First a power-on message is displayed for approx. 4 seconds.

Then the side detection is displayed for approx. 4 seconds; i.e. a red arrow on the display shows on which machine side the

MOBA-matic II is contacted (see central picture).

If the sensor that has been worked with is still connected, the display switches to the working window.

Also the LED arrow’s brightness can be adjusted individually.

To simplify the process the complete LED arrow is actuated as long as the menu point is being called up.

By pressing the Enter key in this window the keyboard lighting can be switched on and off.

Sensibility

The parameter “Sensibility“ determines how long and how drastically the control reacts to deviations.

The setting range is from 1 (low sensibility) to 10 (high sensibility).

The numerical values hold an expedient combination of the control parameters “Dead band“ and “Prop band“ emerging from long test series.

You will find the value tables on the next pages.

The sensibility value can be set separately for each sensor type and later is automatically loaded when a sensor is changed.

If the MOBA-matic II works unsteadily in automatic mode the sensibility of the respective digital controller has to be reduced. If the MOBA-matic II works sluggishly in automatic mode the sensibility of the respective digital controller has to be increased.

62

8 Operation

Your MOBA dealer may change the digital controller’s standard settings in a way that instead of the parameter “Sensibility“ the hidden control parameters “Dead band“ and “Prop band“ are blended in. These then can be individually adjusted by trained personnel.

8 Operation

Control window

This menu point only is shown in case a grade sensor has been currently selected as active sensor, since it only affects this sensor type.

Out of several reasons the measured value of a sensor may change erratically. This can be due to the operating personnel’s inadvertence (obstacles in a sonic sensor’s sound beam, overrun string line holders, etc.) as well as technical errors (torn reference rope, etc.).

To avoid these undesired measurement errors and resulting extreme control reactions of the machine the measured values of all grade sensors can be embedded in a so-called “control window“.

In case an occurring control deviation is higher than the set range this deviation is detected as an error.

The display then shows the warning symbol “measured value out of control window“, the complete LED arrow flashes and the hydraulic cylinder’s actuation is switched off.

8 Operation

65

The size of the control window positioned symmetrically around the working point is adjustable.

Depending on which physical unit has been set for the grade measurements, the setting is done in 0.1 cm, 0.1 inch or 0.01 feet steps.

The control window’s set value specifies a range around the working point; i.e. half an adjustment value lies above and half an adjustment value lies below the working point.

(Example: 6 cm working window = +/- 3 cm around the working point)

Control

+1/2 Adjustment valuet

-1/2 Adjustment value

Working pointt

The function “Working window“ can be deactivated.

To do so adjust the value until, instead of a numerical value, the crossed out symbol of the working window appears in the display.

Hydraulic data record

If the MOBA-matic II should be used in several machines trained specialised personnel can deposit hydraulic parameter settings for up to X different machine types (the hydraulic records‘ maximum number can be limited by your MOBA dealer at the initial setting).

Via this menu point the saved settings then have to be loaded for the respective machine.

A change of the hydraulic data record directly affects the control.

It is possible that with a different data record your machine’s control works insufficiently or not at all – therefore only change if you are absolutely sure.

If the hydraulic data record is changed when the system is in

“Automatic“ mode it is automatically switched to “Manual”.

8.3 Working with the Digi-Slope Sensor

8.3.1 Adjustment of the actual value

Definition

When assembling, the Digi-Slope Sensor should be positioned parallel to the tool’s bottom edge. Since this cannot always be achieved to one hundred percent and a gap may occur at times, the sensor is subsequently adjusted in the system.

After the “offset“ between the measured value und the real value has been detected the Digi-Slope Sensor precisely displays the tool’s slope. We call this the adjustment of the actual value.

The actual value’s adjustment has to be carried out first when commissioning the Digi-Slope sensor.

For ideal working results the actual value’s display has to be frequently checked and as the case may be corrected.

A new adjustment of the actual value generally has to be carried out in case…

• the Digi-Slope Sensor has been changed

• the Digi-Slope Sensor’s installation position has been

changed

• there have been mechanical changes at the tool or its hold-

ing fixture.

The following example describes how to adjust the numerical value of a set slope target to the result’s actual value while working in automatic mode.

8.4 Zero adjustment

Before describing operations with the various grade sensors, the term “zero adjustment” has to be defined.

For every new work project or after mounting or remounting a grade sensor, the current value measured by the sensor has to be adjusted to zero.

In doing so, the current mounting level of the grade sensor above the reference is saved in the system and a clear reference value is provided for all future target points at the same time.

We call this procedure zero adjustment.

To do so:

1) Manually position the tool’s bottom edge at adjustment height; i.e. at the level that is relevant for the upcoming work project

(layer thickness, milling depth, level of the plane to be paved, etc.).

2) Position the grade sensor(s) above the reference.

In case working with laser receivers use the provided positioning aid to shift them in a way that the laser beam hits the receiver’s centre.

Please consider the individual specifications of the various sensors, which are described in the respective section ”Assembly and setting”.

Adjustment height Adjustment height

78

8 Operation

The zero adjustment only takes effect in grade sensors, when the digital controller is in the operating mode “Manual“.

When the tool and the sensor(s) have been set to the adjustment height the zero adjustment should be carried out as follows:

3) From the digital controller’s sensor selection choose the grade sensor to be adjusted.

4) Simultaneously press and hold the digital controller’s UP and

DOWN key until the actual value and the set point are coloured black in the display and after approx. 2 seconds both switch to“0.0“.

The current value measured by the grade sensor (actual value) has been adopted as set point und both values have been assigned 0.0. There is no control deviation.

Two different auxiliary devices are available for sensing.

The Digi-Rotary Sensor’s height should be set in a way that, with overlying sensing tube or sensing ski, the flattened side of the sensor axis is vertical to the reference. This position creates the perfect angle for transducing. (Also see pictures below.)

String line sensing

When string line sensing the sensing tube is used.

By turning in or out adjust the counter weight in a way that the sensing tube applies a slight pressure from above on the string line.

In case the tension of the string line used as reference is too low, the sensing tube can be positioned under the string line. To do so the counter weight’s setting has to allow the sensing tube to slightly press against the string line from below.

Laser beams

CAUTION

Risk of eye injuries caused by laser beams!

Laser transmitters work with highly intense light beams. Looking directly into the laser beam can lead to eye injuries.

Therefore: y Do not directly look into the laser beam. y Do not level the laser beam at a person’s eyes. y Operate the laser emitter considerably over eye height.

Inappropriate assembly

CAUTION

Risk of injury caused by inappropriate assembly!

Laser transmitters and laser receivers occasionally have to be assembled in considerable height over ground. An assembly with improper auxiliary devices can cause injuries.

Therefore: y Do not climb up the machine and the mast. y To mount the laser transmitter onto a tripod and the laser receiver onto the mast use proper auxiliary devices

(e.g. stepladder) and undertake safety precautions.

8 Operation

97


Preface

When assembling the Laser Receiver following points have to be implicitly observed:

• No obstructions (e.g. cables) are allowed in front of the sensor;

• The laser transmitter and receiver have to always be in “clear view” to each other;

Ideally, they are both mounted high enough to let the rotating laser beam stride over the machine roof without being obstructed.

• No reflecting surfaces (windows, vehicle windows, etc.) are allowed near the laser beam;

To minimize reflection it is advisable to shield off the laser transmitter from all but the circular sectional view actually needed.

• The specified range of the laser transmitter may not be exceeded (pay attention to environmental influences).

Working point

Considering its user manual, put a suitable laser transmitter (wave length between 600 and 1030 nm) into operation at sufficient height.

Put the mast at which the laser receiver has been mounted to in an upright position.

98

8 Operation

The proportional laser receiver is freely shiftable on its mast.

To set the laser receiver use the provided positioning aid and shift the sensor and the mast respectively in a way that the laser beam centrally hits the reception area.

(Also see section “The display elements of the proportional Laser Receiver“.)

Only this way the set point subsequently can be changed in the full range of +/- 14 cm.

In principle the working point can be adopted at any position of the laser receiver.

Depending on the planned application this can even be expedient.

With an asymmetrically positioned working point the available adjustment range of one direction (raise or lower) is increased while the other is decreased.

8.14 Working with the 3D Slope Sensor

The 3D Slope Sensor is no additional sensor as such in its original sense.

For the detection of the tool slope’s actual value the described

Digi-Slope Sensor is used. Deviating from the operation with the

Digi-Slope Sensor the setpoint adjustment when working with the 3D Slope Sensor is not carried out manually, but is automatically given by the 3D system depending on the position.

In the operating mode “Automatic“ the operator cannot alter the set point.

8.14.2 Adjustment of the actual value

The adjustment of the actual value serves to adjust the Digi-

Slope Sensor’s measured value to the tool’s actual slope.

This adjustment is necessary for example in case the Digi-Slope

Sensor has not been mounted absolutely parallel to the tool’s bottom edge.

For further information and the description of the proceeding see section ”Adjustment of the actual value“ in this manual.

8.15 Path-dependent operation with the Digi-Slope Sensor

8 Operation

117

This is not an additional sensor in its classical meaning.

To detect the actual value of the tool’s slope, the Digi-Slope

Sensor described above is used. Different from working with the

Digi-Slope Sensor in the path-dependent working with the Digi-

Slope Sensor the set point is not adjusted manually but is automatically set by the system depending on the covered distance.

In the operating mode ”Automatic“ the user cannot adjust the set point.

Precondition

This function is only available if a path signal is received or a respective sensor is connected.

Function

If the path-dependent operation is selected during an ongoing cross slope control, the previous cross slope control continues unchanged in AUTO mode.

After the operation has been selected, the target cross slope and then the distance are queried. The target cross slope is the slope value that should occur at the end of the entered distance. When these two values have been entered, the path-dependent operation can be started.

At the function’s start the differential between the current cross slope and the target cross slope is calculated once. This value is now linearly interpolated and adjusted corresponding to the distance.

At the end of the distance the path-dependent control stops automatically and switches to normal cross slope control, i.e. the target cross slope is continuously kept constant.

118

8 Operation

8.15.1 Controlling with the path-dependent Digi-Slope Sensor

Press the function key F1 ( ).

• The sensor selection menu opens.

• The symbol appears in the upper left corner.

If the normal cross slope control has been active, it is not deactivated when selecting the pathdependent control.

8.16 Cross operation

Definition

The term cross operation is used for “crosswise“ operation when levelling.

These special variants serve to operate the respectively other side’s levelling ”by remote control“. This way going to the screed’s other side to operate the opposite side (e.g. adjusting the tow point, changing the set point) is not necessary anymore.

Precondition

The cross operation is no serial standard function. It is only

Modes

available in a fully wired system, i.e. if both controllers are connected via CAN.

Its activation or extent depends on the mode preset by the dealer.

Your MOBA dealer can set the controller’s operation choosing from four variants differing from each other as follows:

0 no cross operation available

1 only display of the other side

2 display and operation of the other side

3 display and operation of both sides in table form

Irrespective of the cross operation’s preset mode, the MOBAmatic II’s LED arrow always only shows the state of the “own” side’s valve outputs also while the other side is displayed or operated.

122

8 Operation

Mode 0:

In this mode no cross operation is available.

Mode 1-3:

Call up the cross operation in the sensor selection menu with the function key F1.

Mode 1 (Standard):

the other side arrow points to the respective side after 5 sec.

If no key is pressed during this time, the cross operation switches off automatically.

Mode 2:

• display and direct operation of the other side

• red flashing arrow points to the respective side

• automatic return after 5 sec.

If no key is pressed during this time, the cross operation switches off automatically.

8 Operation

123

Mode 3:

• display and operation of both sides

• no automatic return

By default, the operation is always set to the “own“ side.

Activate the operation of the other side by pressing and

holding the function key F1.

• As long as F1 is pressed the relating display is inverted and the operating keys belong to the

”other“ side.

Press the function key F3 ( ) to quit the cross operation and return to the working window.

9 Service and maintenance


Preface

The MOBA-matic II has been developed to meet a high degree of operational reliability.

Servicing the system only requires a minimum of time.

All electronic components are enclosed in robust housings to safeguard them against any possible mechanical damage.

Nevertheless the devices as well as the junction and connection cables should be periodically checked for potential damages and soilings.

Dirty oscillation heads may impair the ultrasonic sensors‘ function and cause sluggishness in the mechanics of the sensors with movable parts.

9.1 Cleaning and drying

The MOBA-matic II can also be cleaned by laypersons provided that the following instructions are observed.

Devices

1) Switch off the MOBA-matic II.

2) Put standard cleaning agent on a soft, lint-free cloth.

3) Clean the surfaces without applying any pressure.

4) With a clean cloth, completely remove the cleaning agent from the devices.

Do not on any account clean the display with agents containing abrasive substances. Otherwise the surface will be scratched and tarnished and the display gets more complicated to read.

Clean the digital controller and the sensors at maximum 40°C and dry them. Do not pack the equipment until it is fully dried.


125

Cables

To avoid poor contacts, the plug contacts and the connector threads have to be kept free of soil, grease, asphalt or other foreign material and to be protected from dampness. Blow out soiled connection cable plugs.

9.2 Repair

In case of damages or wear of the product please contact your local MOBA-dealer.

126

10 Leads on troubleshooting


Preface

When working with the MOBA-matic II a distinction is drawn between warning message and error message.

This section provides some information on measures which can or have to be taken in case of a warning message or an error message.

In some cases error sources can be excluded by strict observance of the regulations given in the manual.

This saves trouble and money preventing unnecessary downtimes.


The troubleshooting at the product may only be carried out by qualified specialized personnel.

Always switch the MOBA-matic II off when troubleshooting. In case voltage supply is required switch to the operating mode

“Manual“.

CAUTION

Risk of injury caused by inappropriate troubleshooting!

Inappropriate troubleshooting can lead to personal injuries or material damages.

Therefore: y Have the troubleshooting exclusively carried out by qualified specialized personnel. y Do not act precipitately when troubleshooting. y Observe the country-specific legal safety and accident prevention regulations.


127

10.2 Fault finding and troubleshooting

Warning messages

Warning messages appear in the working window at the position of the active sensor’s actual value.

OUT

For sensor combinations (Big Sonic-Ski

®

, Power Mast with Laser

Receiver etc.) a separate warning message is shown for every single component.

If at the occurrence of a warning message the operating mode

“Automatic“ has been active

• the operating mode “Automatic“ stays active

• the valve outputs are switched off

• the complete LED arrow flashes

In case the error cause disappears by itself (insect in the measuring range of an ultrasonic sensor, overrun pin etc.), the

MOBA-matic II immediately continues working without the operator having to intervene.

If the disturbance lasts the cause has to be analysed and remedied.

128


Generally:

OUT

Cause: The sensor last used has been changed or disconnected;

Remedy: Choose another sensor from the sensor selection or check why the other sensor is not available anymore;

Cause: The active sensor’s measured value has exceeded or fallen below the admissible measurement range or the power mast has reached the upper or lower stop position of its mechanical adjustment range;

Control outputs: The outputs are locked in automatic mode;

Remedy: Readjust the sensor to the reference;

Cause: The active sensor’s control deviation is higher than the set control window;


Remedy: Readjust the sensor to the reference;

When working with the Laser Receiver:

Cause: Due to reflections in its environment the laser receiver receives several different signals of the laser transmitter;

Control outputs: In automatic mode the outputs are locked;

Remedy: Cover the laser transmitter leaving out the actually required circular section;

Remove reflecting surfaces (vehicle glazing, windows etc.) from the laser beam’s range of influence or cover these areas;


129

When working with the TPS (Total station):

Cause: The total station has not been set horizontally;


Remedy: Position the tripod with the total station in a way that the air bubble lies centrically in the glass tube’s display range;

Cause: The total station’s charge of battery is low;

Control outputs: The outputs still are being actuated in the automatic mode;

Remedy: Acknowledge the error message with any key;

Change the battery or charge it;

Cause: The measurement’s accuracy is limited;



Make sure that the prism is clean and positioned in direct view of the total station;

Check the distance between the total station and the machine;

In the area above 250 m (shimmering air) and below 10 m the measurement accuracy may be affected;

Cause: Bad radio contact between total station and system PC;



Make sure that no metallic, shielding surfaces are positioned between the total station and the system PC;

130


When working with the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems):

Cause: The measurement’s accuracy is limited;

Possible bad satellite constellation due to partial shadowing;



Make sure that the sky is “free” of trees, signs, roofs etc. above or in direct proximity of the antenna;

Cause: The base station’s charge of battery is low;



Change the battery or charge it;

Cause: Bad radio contact between base station and the machine’s

GNSS receiver;





131

Error messages

Always being displayed in the signal colour “red“ error messages stand out against warning messages.

In contrast to the warnings that usually are only shown for a short time and disappear by themselves, error messages mostly refer to defects.

Similar to the warning messages error messages appear in the working window at the position of the active sensor’s actual value.

For sensor combinations (Big Sonic-Ski

®

, Power Mast with Laser

Receiver etc.) a separate warning message is shown for every single component.

If at the occurrence of an error message the operating mode

“Automatic“ has been active

• the operating mode “Automatic“ stays active

• the valve outputs are switched off

• the complete LED arrow flashes

132


Error messages of the system are shown in the whole display.

Cause: Saved data has been lost;


Remedy: Acknowledge the error message with any key and reset the working point and the set point;

In case of recurrence contract your MOBA dealer;

Cause: An error has occurred in the CAN network;


Remedy: Check all connecting cables of the system for damage;

Contact your MOBA dealer;

Cause: The supply voltage of the digital controller’s input has fallen below the admissible limit; the sensors do not work reliably anymore;


Remedy: Check the digital controller’s voltage supply;

Often too thin cable diameters, too long cable lengths or too high transfer resistance at connections cause voltage drops;

Cause: The temperature inside the digital controller approaches the maximum admissible temperature;

Consequence: If the device continues to heat up it automatically switches off when reaching the maximum admissible temperature;

Remedy: Acknowledge the error message with any key – the controller first will continue working as usual;

Provide a remedy against further heating (shadowing; cooling; different assembly site etc.);


133

Cause: The temperature inside the digital controller approaches the minimum admissible temperature;

Consequence: If the device continues to cool down it automatically switches off when reaching the minimum admissible temperature; the display lighting stays switched on as heat source 1

)

;

Remedy: Acknowledge the error message with any key – the controller first will continue working as usual; protect the controller against further cooling;

1

) Remark: If the digital controller is commissioned at a temperature under the specified working temperature (also see technical data) all LEDs flash. The display lighting is switched on and serves as internal heating source until the display can be switched on again without any risks. Depending on the ambient temperature this can take 10 to 15 minutes.

134


Generally:

Cause: The connection to the active sensor has been abruptly interrupted during the working process;


Remedy: Check the sensor’s connection cable for damage and change if necessary;

Change the sensor;

Cause: The active sensor transmits inadmissible or inconsistent messages or measured values;


Remedy: Plug the sensor out, reset it over the reference and plug it in again;

If necessary, change the sensor;


135

When working with the Power Mast:

Cause: Featured with an internal own measuring system the power mast detects any time how long it currently has been extended;

During exceptional circumstances it may occur that the mast

“forgets“ this current position;


Remedy: Retract the power mast completely to let it reinitialise itself automatically in this position;

Cause: Although a digital controller’s output has been actuated no current flows to or into the power mast;


Remedy: Check the power mast’s connecting cable for damage and change if necessary;

Cause: Although a digital controller’s output has been actuated the power mast does not move – the mast is stuck or blocked;


Remedy: Check if an obstacle obstructs the mast, if the mast is bent or if the mast’s moveable mechanical parts are soiled and blocked;

136


When working with the Laser Receiver:

Reflection errors (e.g. caused by reflecting surfaces or flashlights on the construction site) are the most frequent disturbances when working with laser systems.

The laser receiver therefore reads out the laser transmitter’s impinging signals, evaluates them and shows error situations via its LED display as follows:

Cause: No laser beam hits the laser receiver;


Remedy: Readjust the laser receiver to the laser beam;

Cause: The laser receiver is either hit non-cyclically by laser beams or simultaneously by several laser pulses;


Remedy: Shield off the laser transmitter from all but the circular sectional view actually needed;


Check whether a second laser transmitter is operating in the vicinity;

Cause: The laser transmitter’s specified minimum rotation speed has been underrun (<10 Hz [U/sec]);


Remedy: Increase the laser transmitter’s speed of rotation in case it features a rotation speed control;

Check the battery / the voltage supply of the laser transmitter;

Legend: = LED is off = LED flashes = LED is on


137

Cause: The laser transmitter’s maximum rotation speed has been exceeded (>20 Hz [U/sec]);


Remedy: Reduce the laser transmitter’s speed of rotation in case it features a rotation speed control;


Legend: = LED is off = LED flashes = LED is on

138


When working with the TPS (Total station):

3D

OUT

Cause: The total station has lost the prism, i.e. the “direct view“ is interrupted;


Remedy: After a measurement interruption the total station automatically restarts tracking;

As the case may be the total station’s prism search has to be started manually by the operator;

Cause: The total station’s prism search is in progress;


Remedy: Please wait a moment; the prism search can take some time;

Optionally start the total station’s “advanced search”;

Cause: A non-specific 3D error has occurred;


Remedy: Observe the error notes on the total station’s and system

PC’s displays;

Cause: The total station’s battery is dead;


Remedy: Change the battery or charge it;

Cause: The machine is out of the project or the surface design;


Remedy: Move back to the project or choose the surface design corresponding to the current position;


139

Cause: The radio contact between total station and system PC has been disconnected;


Remedy: Check the radio units‘ wiring and voltage supply;

Check the total station’s and radio unit’s LED that visualises the radio connection;


140


When working with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems):

3D

OUT

Cause: Due to the missing correction signal the GPS does not provide a valid position;


Remedy: Please wait a moment; the search for the number of satellites necessary for a safe determination of position can take some time;

Check the date of the correction last received in the 3D software.

The correction signal should be coming in cyclically once a second;

Cause: Due to an insufficient number of satellites the GPS does not provide a valid position;


Remedy: Please wait a moment; the search for the number of satellites necessary for a safe determination of position can take some time;

In case the error message should be displayed over a longer period, please move to an area at the job site with an „open sky“;

Cause: A non-specific 3D error has occurred;


Remedy: Observe the error notes on the total station’s and system

PC’s displays;

Cause: The base station’s battery is dead;


Remedy: Change the battery or charge it;

Cause: The machine is out of the project or the surface design;


Remedy: Move back to the project or choose the surface design corresponding to the current position;


141

Cause: The radio contact between base station and system PC has been disconnected;


Remedy: Check the radio units‘ wiring and voltage supply;

Make sure that the base station is working and no shielding, metallic surfaces are positioned in front of it;

Term Definition

Working point Point (distance or slope) at which the actual and the set point

CAN bus are alike and no control takes place.

The CAN bus (Controlled Area Network) is a system for serial data transfer. It has been developed to connect control devices in automobiles to reduce the cable looms (up to 2 km per car) and make the data transfer safer.

Actual value

Min-pulse

The up-to-date value measured by a sensor, e.g. the distance of a distance sensor to the reference or the slope measured by a slope sensor.

Minimum actuating pulse necessary to move a hydraulic

Max-pulse

Zero adjustment

Offset sensor in the smallest range possible.

Actuating pulse which defines the hydraulic cylinder’s maximum permissible working speed.

The value “0.0“ is assigned to the up-to-date measured value and at the same time is adopted as set point for the control.

A constant systematic error in a variable or a measured value

(e.g. a displacement in case the Digi-Slope Sensor cannot be mounted absolutely parallel to the tool’s bottom edge).

Proportional band Area above or below the dead band where a “dosed“ output actuation takes place. The pulse length depends on the control deviation.

Control deviation Difference between target and actual value.

During controlling the controller moves the actuating element in a way that the sensor’s measured value (actual value) is consistent with the default value (set point).

Set point, set value The target value, set and preset respectively by the operator, which shall be achieved and kept by the control loop.

160


Actuating element Transfers a control’s signals (mostly) into mechanical work –

Dead band i.e. movement – e.g. an opening or closing valve.

Symmetrical area around the working point in which no actuation takes place. It serves to achieve stable tool behaviour at the working point.
