Introduction
This manual describes Logicontrol Plustm System installed on the medium-end
Fantuzzi Stackers machines.
Logicontrol 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

Notes:

Machine is divided into 3 areas: cabin, engine and spreader

• Each area is controlled by CAN controllers (PLCore units or MultiCAN
units if it is installed)
• The main CAN backbone goes trough all machine, with specific
gateway in case of critical path (like the boom cable)
• The secondary CAN goes to manage other device, like ECU for engines
or TCU for transmission (usually compatible to standard SAE J1939)
• Everything is connected locally, to save largely the number of cables
running through the machine.
• All the commands (joystick and keyboard) are connected only through
CAN bus
• The Badge allows easy operator access and interface.

LMS can communicate to the Truck

Track system using the radio modem
communication.

LMS edgevison 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, Logicontrol 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.

5
 LMS Plus CS7.5– V 1.x

Once the driver code is inserted, it will be always possible to change driver or
login as maintenance code without restarting the machine, simply pressing
ENTER key on front panel.

2. External white keyboard (always available)

These are most common functions:

• Arrows are used to scroll through menu items and to select the fields where to
insert numerical values.
• ENTER key confirms new insertions
• F1-F2-F3-F4 have the same functions of the front panel keys.
Inside menus and editing forms, they can assume different meaning, that is
always explained graphically on the screen. F4 is also used to exit from menus.

Logicontrol Plus features

Transmission control
Logicontrol Plus can control 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. Logicontrol 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. stabilizers sensors down (if it is installed): In the machines provided
with stabilizers, no gear will be selected if stabilizers are not correctly
lifted.. When both stabilizers are not down
6. 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.

12
 LMS Plus CS7.5– V 1.x
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.

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.

High performance provided:

All features to get better a transmission performance are the followings:
1. Pedal kick-down control: pressing throttle pedal at maximum,
Logicontrol 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. Variable starting speed (first speed start): on some machines it is

available an additional button on joystick. Normally, machine starts in
second speed. If operator presses the button, machine will start on first
speed just for that time. This is to reduce the use of first gear only when
necessary.

4. Load control: Logicontrol Plus uses the weight information to change

shifting points. In case of machine loaded (over 7 tons), Logicontrol
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
In this case the transmission digital output valve are connected directly to the
multican 108 ( or 28) unit.

Electronic transmission
In this case the transmission proportional output 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
Logicontrol 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 Logicontrol Plus display, the transmission status and
the shift lever position are shown.

Fig1. APC200 electronic unit

Engine and speed control

Logicontrol 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
Normally, the machine can work in different stability conditions. The
standard setup (that can be easily adapted to customer requirements) is
resumed by following table:

Stability condition Maximum speed Notes

Low 6 Km/h Machine in overload or
instability higher than 95%
Medium 12 Km/h Radius higher than 4 meters
or height higher than 8
meters or instability higher
than 75%
Normal 25 Km/h No warning conditions as
above

14
 LMS Plus CS7.5– V 1.x

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, Logicontrol 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 engine oil temperature > 120 °C
High cooling water temperature > 105 °C
Low engine oil pressure < 1 bar
Low cooling water level 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.

15

Hydraulic controls
This software can work with two type of hydraulics pumps
1. Load sensing pump
2. Gear pump

The load sensing pump

It is controlled by four proportional output valve of the Engine Plcore and it
must work with a electronic joystick in order to have the best of performance.
This current supplied from these valves depends from the engine RPM, from
the percentage of instability of the machine, the angle and the boom and from
the safeties.
In this case the boom movements speed are depending from the current
is coming out from the proportional valve

The gear pump

In this case the boom movements are allowed only when Engine Plcore gives
current to the digital output.

High boom performance provided

We have some different hydraulic valve to have a better boom performance.

1. booster (if it is installed)

This output valve is activated when:
a) the weight of the container is lower than 8,5 tons
b) the instability is lower than 70 %
c) the boom movements must be active
