    The document describes the various sensors and signals used by the I-shift gearbox. It discusses internal sensors located inside the gearbox, including sensors that measure clutch position, air cylinder position, inclination, oil temperature, air pressure, speed, and ECU temperature. It also discusses external sensors located outside the gearbox that provide signals from other vehicle ECUs about engine torque, vehicle speed, brake status, and more. The sensors allow the gearbox ECU to monitor internal components and receive inputs from other vehicle systems to properly control gear shifts.

    I-shift sensors and signals


    This material describes the sensors and signals used by the I-shift gearbox.
    The material is divided into three sections:
    - Internal sensors and signals
    - External sensors and signals
    - Operation example*

    * Separate module.

    Internal sensors
    The internal sensors are the sensors that are located inside the I-shift gearbox.
    The numbers in brackets are the number of senders of the same type.

    - Clutch position sensor (1)


    - Air cylinder position sensors (4)
    - Inclination sensor (1)
    - Oil temperature sensor (1)
    - Air pressure sensor (1)
    - Speed sensors (2)+(1)
    - ECU temperature sensor (1)

    Internal sensors - Clutch position sensor


    The position sensor of the clutch cylinder is a PLCD sensor (Permanent magnetic Linear
    Contactless Displacement).
    The PLCD sensor has a permanent magnet that moves close to the metal core of the sensor.
    The magnet causes variation in the saturation of the core that can be measured by the sensor
    electronics.

    Internal sensors - Air cylinder position sensors


    The four position sensors are mounted on the four air cylinders in the control housing. The
    sensors are inductive sensors where the inductive characteristics change depending on the
    position of the metal pin that is following the movements of the air cylinders.
    The actual measurement is done by sending a square wave pulse into the inductive coil of the
    sensor and measuring the response time (how quick the voltage rises). Higher inductance
    means slower response time, see diagram.

    I-shift - Sensors & signals - ishift_ss_inclination.swf - 2006-06-29 - 11:25

    Internal sensors - Inclination sensor


    The inclination sensor is located on the circuit board.
    Changing the trucks inclination will change the characteristic of the capacitive element in the
    sensor.

    Internal sensors - Oil temperature sensor


    The oil temperature sensor is integrated into the connector where the cables enter into the
    gearbox from the control housing.
    The sensor is a NTC type and the characteristics are shown in the diagram.

    I-shift - Sensors & signals - ishift_ss_airpress.swf - 2006-06-29 - 11:25

    Internal sensors - Air pressure sensor


    The air pressure sensor is of a piezoresistive type. The output voltage from the sensor closely
    corresponds to the air pressure as shown in the diagram.

    I-shift - Sensors & signals - ishift_ss_speed.swf - 2006-06-29 - 11:25

    Internal sensors - Speed sensors


    Two of the speed sensors are located in the control housing and measure the speed of the main
    shaft and the countershaft.

    Countershaft speed sensor


    The countershaft speed sensor is an inductive sensor.

    Main shaft speed sensor


    The main shaft speed sensor is a electronic sensor with a Hall element. Using a Hall element
    instead of a inductive sensor makes it possible to measure the rotation speed and the rotation
    direction.

    The third speed sensor is a sensor that measures the output speed of the gearbox. This sensor
    is not really a “internal” sensor since it is connected to the tachograph. Speed information is
    then sent to the VECU and from there to other ECU:s that need this information, among them
    the TECU.

    I-shift - Sensors & signals - ishift_ss_ecutemp.swf - 2006-06-29 - 11:25

    Internal sensors - ECU temperature sensor


    The sensor is of the NTC type and is mounted directly on the circuit board.

    I-shift - Sensors & signals - ishift_ss_external.swf - 2006-06-29 - 11:25

    External sensors
    The external sensors and signals are the sensors that are located outside the I-shift gearbox.
    Normally they originate from other ECU:s and the signal information is sent to the GECU
    (Gearbox ECU) via the data buses.

    The picture gives an overview over where the external signals originate.
    The ECU:s and their corresponding MID-numbers are:
    MID 128 - EECU (Engine ECU), engine torque, engine speed and engine retarder status
    MID 130 - TECU (Transmission ECU)
    MID 136 - EBS (Electronic Brake System), vehicle speed, ABS status, engine control status
    MID 140 - IC (Instrument Cluster)
    MID 144 - VECU (Vehicle ECU), parking brake status, brake pedal status, accelerator position,
    PTO status, cruise control status, retarder stalk status
    MID 150 - ECS (Electronically Controlled Suspension), axle weight
    MID 216 - LCM (Light Control Module), trailer connection status
    MID 223 - GECU (Gearlever ECU), driver selections
