The AS TRONIC gear shift system is a combination of an electro-pneumatically shifted constant-mesh gearbox and an automated dry clutch. If the AS TRONIC transmission system is to be used, the vehicle must have an electronic engine control unit as well as CAN communication. Since the clutch is automated (clutch pedal no longer fitted), the driver no longer has to activate the clutch. The actual shift procedure is performed by the electronic transmission control unit.
The driver has the option of driving the vehicle in both semi-automatic mode as well as fully automatically. When in semi-automatic mode, manual shifting with the range selector is made easier. When in fully automatic mode, gears are selected and shifts made by the electronic control unit. The driver can still intervene if he wishes to. All system functions required are shown on the display, e.g. neutral, gear change, clutch overload and diagnosis information.

2.1 System structure

The transmission system consists of the transmission (1) and the components required to automate the system. The transmission actuator (2) and clutch actuator (3) components are integrated in the transmission. Furthermore, the range selector (4) (console switch 4.1, alternative steering wheel switch 4.2), display (5) and E module (8) peripheral components should also be installed in the vehicle.

Since the ZF-AS TRONIC is integrated in the vehicle system, it can do without other individual peripheral components and uses the vehicles systems such as engine electronics with accelerator (6) and brake pedal (7), electronic braking system with wheel speed sensor etc. instead. The ZF-AS TRONIC is integrated in the vehicle system by the networking of the vehicle electronic unit via a CAN bus. The reciprocal system interdependencies resulting from this must be investigated within a vehicle integration FMEA.

2.2 Transmission and shift system

2.2.1 Description of the transmission The ZF-AS TRONlC transmission consists of a fourspeed section (in the 16-speed version) or a threespeed version (in the 12 and 10-speed version) as well as a splitter group (GV) and a rear-mounted rangechange group (GP) in a planetary design.
The transmission is based on a twin countershaft design. This compact and reduced weight design ensures a positive torque distribution, lower gear loadings and therefore a higher degree of efficiency. The 4(3)-speed transmission section is produced with a dog clutch. Synchronization occurs via the EDC and transmission brake. The splitter group and range-change group have synchromesh.

2.3.1 Transmission actuator All functions required for transmission control/feedback are contained in the transmission actuator. The actuator has a mechanical, electrical and pneumatic interface and is integrated in the transmission housing in a space-saving manner.
The integrated transmission electronics contain all functions required for transmission and clutch control/feedback. The electro-pneumatic valves control the gear shift cylinders and the transmission brake. The pneumatic shift cylinders actuate the mechanical gear shift elements in the transmission. The sensors record

The clutch actuator is flange-mounted on the integrated clutch bell housing of the transmission. The clutch is actuated by the clutch actuator, which in turn is activated by the electronics in the transmission actuator. Robust wiring connected to the clutch actuator connector and to the transmission connector of the transmission actuator makes the electrical connection with the transmission electronics.
The clutch can be engaged in a very gentle manner for sensitive setting off and manoeuvring operations. For very rapid clutch actuations, if necessary, the clutch opening and closing times and/or cycle frequencies can be changed to ensure adjustment speeds suitable for the situation in question. The clutch actuator calibrates the current clutch engagement point for every start procedure and passes this information on to the transmission electronics. The electronics therefore always have information on the current wear status and the friction lining. The driver is warned in good time of complete clutch wear.
In addition to the pneumatic actuation piston responsible for clutch release, the following components are also integrated in the clutch actuator: pairs of redundant, cyclical-actuation valves are each used for opening and closing the clutch. During these processes, the two valve orifices (with different diameters) are energized in succession. The position of the pneumatic piston and therefore also of the clutch is recorded by a travel sensor. An electronic module, fitted directly to the sensor, provides the sensor signal for transmission control.

2.5.1 Intarder The Intarder is a hydrodynamic and therefore zerowear transmission brake.
2.5.1.3 Oil grades and oil fill quantities The Intarder and ZF-AS TRONIC transmission form the common oil supply. The oil fill quantities are increased as a result and can be taken from the Intarder technical manual (order no. 6085 765 004). The ZF-AS TRONIC with integrated Intarder may only be filled with SAE 30 engine oil, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oils.
2.5.1.1 General Please refer to the manual (order no. 6085 765 004) for an overview of system concept, layout, method of operation, operating elements, function variants, periphery and safety functions, as well as for installation and diagnosis instructions.
The list of lubricants TE-ML 02 (see Chapter 4.3) provides information on the exact oil specification and the oil change intervals.
A separate technical manual is available for the ZF-Intarder (order no. 6085 765 004).
2.5.1.4 Coolant connection An oil and water heat exchanger is fitted to the Intarder and this must be incorporated in the water circuit of the engine cooling system.
2.5.1.2 Mechanical interface The Intarder is integrated in the ZF-AS TRONIC transmission. The Intarder can only be fitted at a later date if the transmission is converted. A decision on also having the Intarder delivered must therefore be made when ordering the ZF-AS TRONIC transmission. The installation length between the SAE 1 flange and the output flange is the same as that in the ZFAS TRONIC without the Intarder fitted.
Please refer to the ZF-Intarder technical manual, order no. 6085 765 004 for more information.
2.5.1.5 Pneumatic interface The air connection can either be made via the air boiler of the ZF-AS TRONIC transmission ( see Chapter 4.5) or via a separate connection on the air tank for auxiliary consumers.
The installation length of the transmission should be taken from the standard installation drawings (see Chapter 4.1).
An electronics unit supplied with the Intarder is housed in the dry area of the vehicle (e.g. drivers cab).
See information in ZF-Intarder technical manual, order no. 6085 765 004.
2.5.1.6 Electrical interface The Intarder has an electrical interface with the vehicle wiring. There is no direct electrical connection with the ZF-AS TRONIC.
For more information, please refer to the ZFIntarder technical manual, order no. 6085 765 004.

3.1 Operating modes

The ZF-AS TRONIC transmission control unit is subdivided into operating modes (e.g.: setting off, manoeuvring, gear shifting while vehicle is in motion, gear engagement while in motion, etc.) in a hierarchical manner. Defined functions of the ZFAS TRONIC are assigned to each operating mode. The operating modes are defined by clear sensor signals or by signals via the communication system.
Please refer to the TKI Shift functions and operating modes (ZF no. 1328 761 019) for an overview of the operating modes and their functions.

Automatic drive program
3.2 Automatic drive program

The automatic drive program of the ZF-AS TRONIC allows the vehicle to be driven in a fully automatic manner. To continue moving the vehicle, the driver simply has to actuate the accelerator and brake (service brake and 3rd brake). The automatic drive program is integrated in the electronics of the AS TRONIC transmission system.
3.2.3 Automatic selection of start gear When the automatic drive program is active, the start gear is calculated and selected fully automatically in accordance with the setting off conditions (gradient, loads, etc.). If the driver believes that the start gear, as shown in the display, is too high, he can correct and lower this using the range selector ( for more information, refer to the functions of the range selector in Chapter 2.4). To extend the clutch service life, corrections cannot be made into a higher gear. A start gear will even be selected and engaged once the ignition has been switched off and the vehicle restarted.
3.2.1 Activating the automatic drive program Once the electrical system has been switched on (by turning the ignition key) and the engine has been started, the automatic drive program starts to operate when the driver activates the forwards travel range. Once the parking brake has been released and the accelerator has been depressed, the vehicle sets off. The fully automatic drive program determines when gears should be shifted and the gear into which shifts should be made.
3.2.4 Switching off the automatic drive program Should a critical drive situation arise and the driver wish to avoid automatic gear changing (retain a gear) or shift gear manually (manual drive mode), the automatic drive program can be switched off by actuating the range selector accordingly ( for more information, refer to the functions of the range selector in Chapter 2.4). This intervention can be made at any time when the vehicle is in motion. Appropriate failsafe mechanisms have been implemented to rule out the risk of the engine ever being overrevved. If the automatic drive program is switched off and the vehicle moved through manual operation of the range selector, the fuel consumption levels may then rise depending on the manual gear selection made by the driver. Despite manual driving mode, the automatic start gear is retained as in the automatic drive program. Should an error occur in the transmission system or in a data exchange with other systems, the automatic drive program may switch itself off depending on the effect of the error.
3.2.2 Fully automatic gear changing To adapt these fully automatic gear changes to the drive situation in question and to do this in a fuelefficient manner, numerous pieces of information from the transmission and other electronic systems are evaluated in the electronics of the transmission system via data communication.
For detailed information on the signals used for the drive programs, please refer to the interface specification 1328 761 005.

3.2.5 Re-activating the automatic drive program The automatic drive program can be re-activated at any time when the vehicle is in motion. This is done by operating the range selector accordingly.
For more information, refer to the functions of the range selector in Chapter 2.4
3.2.6 Manoeuvring 3.2.6.1 Forwards gears The manoeuvring gears are 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear in the 16 AS 2601, 1st and 2nd gear in the 12 AS 2301 and 1st gear in the 10 AS 2301 (bus) In certain driving modes, the automatic start gear may be in the same range as the manoeuvring gears. If the system selects a start gear which is outside the manoeuvring range, the driver must change this to the manoeuvring gear desired by intervening manually on the range selector. Automatic gear changes are not made when the vehicle is in the Manoeuvring operating mode. If a change into a lower gear is to be made during manoeuvres, this must be done manually via the range selector.
3.2.6.2 Reverse gears In the ZF-AS TRONIC systems for truck applications 16 AS 2601 and 12 AS 2301, the slower R gear is usually selected. As a rule, automatic gear changes do not occur in the reverse travel range regardless of the accelerator position. The rapid R gear must be selected by manual intervention on the range selector. When using the bus application (10 AS 2301), only one R gear is available.
For more information on the issue of Manoeuvring, please refer to TKI 1328 761 019.

3.3 System safety

3.3.1 Principles The principles behind the ZF-AS TRONIC system safety concept are the requirements made by the Automobile Safety Act. The clutch and transmission are not therefore considered as safety components such as the brakes or steering systems. This means that the law does not believe that malfunctions caused by faults in the clutch or transmission can lead directly to safety-related malfunctions resulting in accidents. Since the ZF-AS TRONIC is however an automation system, which unlike conventional driveline components takes on some of the processes otherwise controlled by the driver, it is also assigned an increased level of responsibility. System analyses undertaken: risk analysis as specified in DIN 19250 system FMEA vehicle integration FMEAs K FMEAs
The system responses to simple faults are described in a malfunction specification. Since the vehicle manufacturer is responsible for vehicle responses, agreement is reached with the manufacturer on responses to faults within the framework of a vehicle integration FMEA. This includes vehicle faults which may have an effect on the ZF-AS TRONIC. The definition of the malfunction response is written in accordance with the principles of the aforementioned system analyses. High levels of reliability were even provided for in the conception stage of the ZF-AS TRONIC (number of components, integrated module, reduction in scope of wiring). The function and service life of the mechanical and pneumatic components have been designed in accordance with state-of-the-art technology and tried and tested in various trials. The defined nominal mode cannot be set if voltage fails or the air supply is suddenly interrupted during a shift. In such instances, the last mode is retained (extended duration is rare and probability of occurrence very low in accordance with riskograph from DIN 19250).
The following situations have been defined as safer and those to be aimed for in instances of error: driveline closed when vehicle in motion driveline open when vehicle at standstill The following vehicle behaviour has been defined as relevant to safety as a result of the system analyses: independent setting off setting off in opposite direction of travel blocked driveline when in motion Special measures were undertaken during the development of the ZF-AS TRONIC (e.g redundancies, verification checks etc.) to avoid these circumstances wherever possible. Errors which do not lead to the drive behaviour listed above will only influence agreed functions of the AS TRONIC and therefore the reliability and/or availability of the vehicle.

3.3.2 Clutch concept The clutch actuator and the relevant software functions have been designed to ensure that individual faults cannot cause undesired responses (figure 1). The redundant valve system, travel measurement aid and check valve ensure that a defined nominal mode is ensured and/or set should individual faults occur.
Exception: the clutch is closed, the nominal mode is open driveline and the air supply or the voltage supply is interrupted. In this instance, the driver must switch off or stall the engine.

3.3.3 Transmission control concept The transmission control unit is designed to ensure that when a shift is triggered at least two valves always have to be shifted (central air and shift valve). The transmission position is permanently monitored by a travel measuring system. The conventional design of the transmission control unit (incl. function software) ensures that should individual faults arise, undesired shift processes cannot be triggered.
3.3.4 Interface concept The interfaces between the ZF-AS TRONIC and vehicles are very important with regard to safety and availability. Responses to faults and protective measures in the ZF-AS TRONIC should ensure that the nominal mode is retained or set should errors / faults arise. A vehicle integration FMEA is created jointly with the vehicle manufacturer to test and ensure this principle and, if necessary, any relevant measures are initiated.
3.3.5 Driving modes investigated Error trees have been created for the following driving modes: independent setting off setting off in opposite direction of travel vehicle not setting off (gear already selected) driveline interruption during travel acceleration not OK blocked driveline during travel The measures to be initiated ensure compliance with the aforementioned criteria for behaviour in response to errors and faults.

3.4 Responses to faults

If the AS TRONIC system detects faults or errors, then the system reacts using back-up functions. The errors themselves are divided into error classes and entered in the error memory once the ignition has been switched off. Error classes 2 and 3 are shown in the display. The error message and the resulting response to the fault can be deleted from the display after a vehicle stop implemented via ignition OFF (reset). The error numbers can be called up via the range selector, refer to Chapter 3.5 Diagnosis.
Unrestricted drive operation possible No errors shown in display Entry in error memory Levels of comfort may be reduced Error can be rectified next time the vehicle goes into the workshop

4.1.4 Clutch bell housing The AS TRONIC has an integrated clutch bell housing. The AS TRONIC can therefore only be supplied with an SAE1 engine connection. ( for connection dimensions, see installation drawing). Fastening to the flywheel housing Use very strong (8.8) screws Use shims as specified in DIN 125 1327 600 016 1328 600 016 Observe the tightening torques specified M10 46 5 Nm M12 79 8 Nm CAUTION Do not use toothed locking screws. 1327 600 007 Fastening with stud bolts If the AS TRONIC is fastened by threaded pins attached to the flywheel housing on the engine side, the stud bolts must not protrude by more than 62 mm. Reason: if they protrude by a greater distance than that specified, it is very difficult to dismantle the transmission actuator during servicing. In extreme cases, the transmission has to be removed before the actuator can be dismantled.

4.1.8 Mounting Only those screw-on surfaces on the transmission housing and/or auxiliary intended for transmission mounting may be used for such purposes. The nominal strength values defined for the screw design is housing material GD-ALSI9CV3. Transmission mountings on the vehicle frame must be designed following discussions with ZF ensuring that additional forces are not transmitted to the transmission housing by any distortion of the vehicle frame.
ZF proposal for the mounting Fig. 3: Transmission flange-mounted on engine

E
Connection dimensions of the transmission mounting, transmission weight and the site of the centre of gravity are specified in the relevant installation drawing.
The screws used for the transmission mounting must comply with 8.8 quality. The specified tightening torque must be calculated in accordance with VDI 2230 for mounting points C and E. The additional mounting point E is only required if the measurements, calculations or tests in question indicate the influence of critical levels of vibration or extreme shock loads. Care should however be taken to ensure that no forces are transmitted in the zero position of the rubber bearing E and that the strength of E is less than bearing A + C or A + B.
Mounting at A + B (both sides) Additional mounting point E possible, but not necessary even in ZF auxiliary units.
C A
014877
Mounting at A + C (both sides) Only for bus application 10 AS 2301. Special approval is required for other applications. Additional mounting point E possible, but not necessary even in ZF auxiliary units.
NOTE Other threaded bores must not be used as mounting points on the ZF-AS TRONIC. The minimum screw-in depth at mounting point C must be 32 mm. The maximum vertical loading permitted at point E is 3g. Otherwise E will have to be supported.
! DANGER The bending torque of the bearing blocks on the mounting face C must not exceed the limit value of 1900 Nm.

The ZF-AS TRONIC can tolerate an overall angle (vehicle angle including transmission angle) of 17 without incurring damage. This corresponds to a route gradient of: 21% with 5 transmission angle 30% with 0 transmission angle
The vehicle may only be driven short distances if inclines are greater than those stated. ZF must be contacted if the route gradients are often larger than those stated when the vehicle is used and if other transmission combinations are in use. The transverse transmission angle must not exceed 3. ZF must be contacted if this figure is exceeded.

4.1.10 Propeller shaft connection A propeller shaft may cause torsional vibrations and bending vibrations in the driveline. The following standard values should therefore be observed. The vehicle manufacturer is responsible for this compliance. Specific approval must be granted to exceptions from the values given.
Limit values for permitted deflection angles will be indicated in the following sub-sections. If these are observed, you can be certain that the vibration amplitudes created by the propeller shaft will not exceed the aforementioned value. The limit values for the deflection angles are of particular use if there are no calculations or measurements of the vibration amplitudes available.
Permitted rotational irregularity Permissible resultant deflection angle per joint The maximum permitted angular acceleration amplitudes () in the driveline are 1500 rad/s2. Lower values will not cause vibrational damage. The rotational acceleration in the driveline can be checked by means of calculation or measurement. Alternatively, the rotation angle error (, Fig. 7) can also be used. Fig. 7 Rotational angle error

If the propeller shaft is relocated, the resultant angle R must first be calculated using the following formula: tan R =
tan2 H + tan2 V
where H -deflection angle when viewed horizontally (plan view), where V -deflection angle when viewed vertically (front view). Here the deflection angle is defined as the angle between the rotary axes in front of and behind the joint in the relevant view.

Single arrangements By guiding the shafts appropriately, attempts should be made to create an exact Z arrangement of the propeller shaft (1 = 2) for all vehicle load statuses.
Multiple arrangements The propeller shaft can often be optimized in multiple arrangements through the appropriate selection of the cross journal position and by varying the height of the intermediate bearing ( angle division). Fig. 13 shows one such example.

4.1.17 Additional guidelines for the vehicle body manufacturer The reciprocal relationships of the vehicles electronic units must not be disturbed through the use of a different wiring routing system (see system structure). In the event that fundamental changes are made to the installation and these effect the AS TRONIC system, the ZF installation approval ceases to apply.
The vehicle body manufacturers should pay particular attention to
Chap. electrical system, TKI 6029 705 003 vehicle wiring, TKI 1328 761 005 transmission actuator Chap. pneumatic system
CAUTION No consumers may be inserted downstream of the non-return valve.
4.1.18 Vehicle wiring (observe TKI 6029 705 003 vehicle wiring) Do not bend cables. Observe the temperature range (sees ambient temperature Chapter). Do not fit to water, oil or pressure lines. Wiring must not be subjected to load. Avoid relative movements (chafing) between the wiring and its surroundings, e.g. vehicle frame. The cabling must be at a distance of at least 200 mm from the generator. Note any possible EMC interferences. Do not route cables close to HF lines. Do not connect any earth/ground cables with the transmission. When undertaking arc welding on the vehicle ensure that currents do not flow through the transmission and the associated electronic units. Limitations must not be placed on wiring when undertaking any work on the vehicle. Once work has been completed near the lines, these should be checked for damage. Also check that the connectors are fitted correctly. The same applies to the pneumatic lines, oil lines and water lines (e.g. with the Intarder).

Temperatures
4.2 Temperatures
Temperature measuring journeys are required for approval of all ZF-AS TRONIC applications. Emphasis should be placed on the following measurements on uphill inclines on downhill inclines and once the vehicle has been parked
In bus applications, we recommend that temperature measuring journeys are undertaken since the installation conditions and the maximum speed sometimes deviate considerably from those of other applications. Here, e.g. with an outside temperature of 20 C, in a journey lasting approx. 2 hours at maximum speed, the transmission oil temperature should not exceed 90 C. In special vehicles (cranes, fire engines etc.), we also recommend that temperature measuring journeys are undertaken. The same permissible temperatures apply as for normal commercial vehicle applications. For transmissions with a ZF-Intarder and for the ZF-Transmatic (WSK), the permissible temperatures specified in the relevant manual apply.
During these measuring journeys, the customer must prove that the max. ambient temperature the temperature on the transmission actuator and the permissible permanent temperature are below the limits specified here. If this is not the case, measures will have to be taken to reduce the temperature.
4.2.3 Causes of excess oil temperatures The following could cause the the permissible temperatures to be exceeded: encapsulated and noise-insulated transmission installation insufficient distance between exhaust and transmission exchange of air with transmission environment not possible (measures on vehicle) influence of heat from attached externally produced retarder 4.2.2 Permissible oil temperatures The permissible permanent temperature measured in the transmission oil sump in commercial vehicle applications is 110 C. Brief peaks in temperature (max. 30 min.) of up to 130 C are permitted. The total of these peak values may amount to a maximum of 10 % of the oil change interval. very high or very low roadspeed oil level too high PTO unit operated with vehicle at standstill The following measures are required: Distance between exhaust, water pipes, other sources and transmission: min. 100 mm Attach screen sheets to vehicle
4.2.1 Permissible ambient temperatures on the transmission Max. ambient temperature: 95 C (at 50 mm distance from transmission) This temperature is measured in the area around the transmission actuator cover.

Temperatures
4.2.4 Additional transmission cooling If the permanent temperature in the oil sump is above 110 C, additional cooling is required. This applies in all instances in applications with heavy goods vehicles areas with outside temperatures of above 40 C
Outside temperatures down to 40 C When using vehicles in outside temperatures permanently between 0 C and 40 C, there are some restrictions which must be noted: ZF always recommends that a warming-up phase of at least 10 minutes be observed at an increased idling speed of approx. 1500 rpm when at temperatures of 20 C. At transmission temperatures of below 35 C, the transmission must be pre-heated before the engine is started. This can be done e.g. using hot air which must not however exceed + 150 C on the transmission. CAUTION Do not preheat on the transmission actuator. The engine may be started at transmission temperatures of between 0 and 35 C. The transmission can operate at transmission temperatures above 30 C and all functions are available. Longer shift times should be expected.
Connecting a heat exchanger The ZF-ASTRONIC has the connections required for a heat exchanger.
See installation drawings in Chapter 4.1.1
Please note the following when connecting a heat exchanger: A by-pass line (by-pass valve 0.5 bar) must be fitted in front of the heat exchanger between the suction and pressure side. The transmission must not be operated if the heat exchanger is not connected.
When undertaking oil filling and oil level monitoring in conjunction with a heat exchanger, the relevant operating manuals and installation drawings should also be observed.
4.2.6 Storing the transmission at very low temperatures 4.2.5 Use at very low temperatures Outside temperature of down to 30 C The ZF-AS TRONIC may only be used with oils in accordance with relevant valid ZF list of lubricants TE-ML 02. There are however certain restrictions which must be noted. ZF always recommends that a warming-up phase of at least 10 minutes be observed at an increased idling speed of approx. 1500 rpm when temperatures are of below 20 C. The transmissions can be stored at outside temperatures of 40 C.

Information on transmission ventilation
Oil filling
4.3 Oil filling

The ZF-AS TRONIC transmission is supplied with oil as standard. The oil change intervals are adapted to the appropriate oil grade of the oil filled into the transmission (see TE-ML 02).
For the approved oils and the oil change intervals attainable with them, please refer to the latest relevant addition of the list of lubricants TE-ML 02 (ZF no. 1205 754 022).
When attaching an Intarder and/or a PTO unit, the oil filling quantity in the transmission rises.
Reference is made to the oil quantities required in the installation drawings, the Intarder technical manual (ZF no. 6085 765 004), standard operating manuals and the PTO unit type sheet (ZF no. 1328 757 051).
The AS TRONIC transmission has one oil filler plug on each side and, depending on version (with/without Intarder), it has one or more oil drain plugs.
The transmission is fitted with a vent on the transmission actuator module as standard. The vent should be protected from great amounts of water. Special applications such as off-road vehicles, refuse collection vehicles, milk-collecting vehicles which are often cleaned with a water jet, dampness or damp air can be sucked through the vent through sudden cooling of the transmission, resulting in the formation of condensate in the transmission. Even coaches, in which the transmission is located in the water ejector of the rear wheels, can be affected by this. Since water in the transmission oil is harmful for the transmission, ZF provides a hose ventilation system in the vehicle dry compartments. This is available as a retrofitting set rather than the standard vent and can be ordered from ZF After-Sales Service using ZF number 1315 298 021.
For the position of these plugs and the tightening torques, please refer to the relevant installation drawing (Chapter 4.1), the Intarder technical manual (ZF no. 6085 765 004) and the operating manuals (ZF no. 1327 758 001 and 1328 758 004).
Even if reference is made to oil quantities in the aforementioned documents, the oil level must however be correct on the transmission itself. To ensure that this is the case, with the vehicle standing on horizontal ground, fill oil into one of the oil filling apertures until the filling height has reached the lower edge of the filling aperture and/or until oil starts to escape from this oil filling aperture. For Intarder applications, please note that complete filling is only reached once the vehicle is moved and after the second filling process ( see Intarder technical manual ZF no. 6085 754 004).

4.4.1 System layout and circuit diagrams The arrangements and networking of all electronic components required for the function of the ZF-AS TRONIC transmission system are shown as a diagram in the system layout. In the standard system layout, in addition to the ZF-AS TRONIC electronic unit, this includes the engines (or vehicles) electronic unit, ABS and Intarder and also the display and range selector with E-module. The electronic units only communicate with one another via the vehicle driveline CAN, as defined in the Standard SAE J 1939. The ZF-AS TRONIC communicates with the E module via another CAN interface (ZF CAN). The ZF display is activated by a serial data line. If the vehicle is fitted with an on-board vehicle computer, signals can pass via this from/to range selector, displays, PTO units, R gear relay etc. and the module interfaces are no longer required. The circuit diagram is the electrical wiring diagram of the ZF components in the system layout. It is used to establish the wiring, for which the connectors of the ZF components are also shown. If the wiring for connecting the ZF components, up to the transferred connector (electrical connector in E box), is supplied by ZF, then ZF will also draw up a connection diagram.

Non-linear CAN connection (tap line not linear) see Fig. 18
4.4.4 CAN bus installation The vehicle manufacturer is responsible for the CAN bus installation. The ASTRONIC can be integrated into all known CAN bus topologies (linear CAN connection, nonlinear CAN connection). Experience has shown that sheathed line routing, such as that described in the standards, is not necessary. Line routing via twisted lines (twisted pair) is normally sufficient.
The non-linear connection is more sensitive to faults but a simpler type of CAN network. This creates what is commonly referred to as a tap line between intersection (point B) and the electronic unit (point A). This tap line must not exceed the maximum length defined in the standards (see standards SAE J 1939, ISO/DIS 11898). Transmission problems may occur if there are deviations from the maximum length specified (e.g. when using terminal testers or intermediate cable sets etc.).
Linear CAN connection (no tap lines) see Fig. 17 From todays viewpoint, the linear connection is an economically and technically (EMC aspects) good solution as it is relatively insensitive to faults, even at higher transfer rates (500kb). The ZF transmission system supports this kind of CAN connection. The CAN lines are passed through the control unit (2 connections each for CAN_H and CAN_L).
Line version The line version must also be designed as specified in the existing standards (SAE J 1939 and ISO/DIS 11898), which envisages the lines being twisted or twisted + sheathed.

Fig. 20 4.4.5 Requirements placed on wiring quality A distinction is made between two fundamental installation situations. 1. Wiring which is routed in the cab or in the vehicle frame. 2. Wiring which is routed on the ZF unit or in the area directly next to the unit or engine. Stringent requirements apply here with regard to temperature, mechanical characteristics, resistance to operating fluids. Wiring must not hang freely. The connector connections must not be tightened down firmly. The operator must ensure that the connector and mating connector are compatible and snapped into place. The operator must ensure that relative movements, e.g. between vehicle frame and transmission, cannot damage the wiring. The fastening material must be selected ensuring that the wiring is neither crushed nor damaged in any way or pre-damaged. CAUTION A sufficient distance should be maintained from sources of heat such as the exhaust, heat exchanger etc. or protection from the heat should be provided.
Routing and fastening The wiring should be routed in the vehicle in a manner which ensures that it a) is not damaged b) can be accessed again at all times The wiring should be routed and fastened on protected points in the vehicle. The cable must be fastened at no more than 20 cm after the transmission electrical connector.

4.4.7 Other electrical interfaces on the ZF-AS TRONIC 4.4.7.1 Neutral switch (S12) The transmission neutral switch ( S12 ) is located on the transmission at position G32 (see installation drawing). The circuit starter is connected with transmission neutral switch via the relay E17 so that the engine cannot be started with a gear selected. If the transmission is mechanically in neutral, the neutral switch contact is closed. One neutral switch is available for the ZFAS TRONIC: Switch 0501 210 058 (Bayonet connection as specified in DIN 72585) Comment: If the neutral signal is implemented via CAN, the mech. neutral switch is no longer required. Fig. 21: Switch 0501 210 058
There is an output speed sensor on the ZF-AS TRONIC which provides the relevant signal for the tachographs (see installation drawing). Drawing number: 0501 210 854 Order number: 0501 210 855 (screw-in length 19.8 mm, in ZF-AS TRONIC with Intarder) Order number: 0501 210 859 (screw-in length 90 mm, in ZF-AS TRONIC without Intarder)
4.4.8 CAN signals The requirements placed on external signals required to operate the ZF-AS TRONIC are described in the ZF TKI 1328 761 005. Here you will also find descriptions of the signals sent from the ZFAS TRONIC. Furthermore, the quality, accuracy and if necessary the repeat rate (CAN) required is determined for all external signals. Most of the requirements placed on the signals correspond to SAE J1939. The ZF-AS TRONIC expects different higher repeat rates for a few signals only. For todays level of development these signals are the accelerator position (with idling switch) the wheel speeds from the ABS. The signal specification from TKI 1328 761 005 must be confirmed by vehicle manufacturer. Special agreement must be reached if there are deviations from this.

The pneumatic system
4.5 The pneumatic system

The air supply for the ZF-AS TRONIC shift system is of relevance to the safety of the vehicle. All statutory specifications, such as those regarding the brake system, must therefore be observed. The air supply can be connected to the vehicle in two ways. Firstly in front of the 4-circuit protective valve (example 1) or secondly after the 4-circuit protective valve on the auxiliary consumer circuit (example 2).
The following should be noted: In example 1, the air supply takes priority over the shift system for the brake system as a pressure relief valve (> 5 bar) is mounted upstream of the ZF-AS TRONIC air circuit. In example 2, the air supply has priority over the other auxiliary consumers for the ZF-AS TRONIC as a pressure relief valve is mounted upstream of it (> 5 bar) .

The pneumatic system
Air tank A separate air tank is provided for the shift system. This has a non-return valve as its failsafe mechanism. No other air consumers may be connected to this pneumatic circuit with the exception of the ZF-Intarder. The non-return valve prevents pressure from falling in the tank should a leak occur or should there be no air in the rest of the air system. Air tank minimum volumes: AS TRONIC 10 dm3 AS TRONIC + IT 20 dm3
The air lines between the ZF-AS TRONIC air tank and transmission actuator and clutch actuator must have a nominal width (inner diameter) of at least 9 mm. Maximum lengths of 4 m must be observed.
Air quality The compressed air made available by the vehicle must be cleaned, dried and free of condensate. Air particle filter: mesh width 40 microns. Maximum permitted water content in the compressed air: 15% (relative air humidity). Ambient temperature [C] -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 Water content [g/m3] 0.136 0.332 0.726 1.41 2.6 4.55 7.66
Air pressure Operating pressure required: 7.0 12.0 bar. When operated at the minimum pressure level of 7.0 bar, the shift system shifts and engages in an unreliable manner. For the driver still to be able to perform a few shifts when there is a shortage of air in the system, the ZF-AS TRONIC must have a system pressure of at least 8 bar. The transmission actuator uses an integrated pressure reducing valve to reduce the air pressure to 7 bar to preserve the shift elements and attain homogeneous shift characteristics.
Pressure display/warning Air consumption Air displacement volumes required: at least 5 dm3/min at 8 10 bar. The vehicles air system should be designed to ensure that at least the aforementioned volumetric flow of air is available to the ZF-AS TRONIC air circuit. This assumed requirement is based on the consumption of 9 shifts and 1 starting procedure (ignition on with clutch actuator calibration) per minute. A pressure sensor is integrated in the transmission actuator. This provides the driver with a warning should the pressure fall to below 6.2 bar. This is shown on the ZF display (AL) and/or can be sent as a message on the CAN.

4.6 Auxiliary units

4.6.1 ZF-Intarder The ZF-Intarder cannot be attached at a later date. The ZF-Intarder must always be taken into consideration at the time when the transmission order is placed. During ZF-Intarder applications, particular attention should be paid to the peripheral components such as attachment of the electronic units, wiring and cooler connection. The number of impulses issued by the speedo sensor differs slightly to that issued when used without the Intarder.
ZF PTO units can be attached in three ways. Firstly in the plant when the transmission is supplied, secondly at a later date by the vehicle manufacturer or lastly in the end customers finished vehicle.
The attachment manual for ZF PTO units, ZF no. 1328 757 051, provides information on the selection of ZF PTO units and on the attachment specifications.
This manual pays particular attention to the fact that when a PTO unit is mechanically attached, the electronics unit in the ZF-AS TRONIC will also require additional programming to ensure the operational safety of the system used in conjunction with the automated clutch. If the vehicle manufacturer is to attach the PTO units, the data set required should be clarified with the technical sales team. If supplied vehicles are to be retrofitted, this task is undertaken by the ZF service centres. If the PTO unit is attached and the ZF attachment specifications (e.g. program changes to the electronics unit) are not taken into consideration, then ZF takes no responsibility for this unit combination or the functional and operational safety of the entire system. The peripheral parts (wiring harness etc.) required for the ZF PTO units must be provided by the vehicle manufacturer. When retrofitting a vehicle which has already been supplied, the ZF service centres are available to offer their assistance.
For installation instructions and interface descriptions, please refer to the ZF-Intarder technical manual (ZF no. 6085 765 004).
The ZF-Intarder electronics unit software takes into consideration the necessary signal exchange with the ZF-AS TRONIC, performed by the CAN bus.
For special features associated with oil filling of the ZF-AS TRONIC and Intarder combination, please refer to the ZF-Intarder technical manual (ZF no. 6085 765 004).
The initial installation of a ZF-AS TRONIC and ZFIntarder system combination must be commissioned and approved by ZF.
4.6.2 Externally produced retarders Whenever attaching externally produced retarders, always consult the technical sales team from ZF. The requirements governing mechanical, pneumatic, electrical interfaces and signal exchange with the ZF-AS TRONIC must be adapted accordingly. Here, it may be necessary to separately consider the system safety of the entire unit and to have the vehicle manufacturer undertake an overall vehicle system FMEA. If ZF does not expressly issue approval for an externally produced retarder, ZF takes no liability or responsibility for these unit combinations or for the functional and operational safety of the entire system. 4.6.4 PTO units produced by external companies When attaching PTO units produced by external companies, the assistance of the ZF technical sales team should always be obtained. The requirements governing mechanical, pneumatic and electrical interfaces to the ZF-AS TRONIC must be adapted accordingly. Here, it may be necessary to separately consider the system safety of the entire unit and to have the vehicle manufacturer undertake an overall vehicle system FMEA to ensure operational safety of the system used in conjunction with the automated clutch.

If ZF does not expressly issue approval for an externally produced PTO unit, ZF takes no liability or responsibility for these unit combinations or the functional and operational safety of the entire system.
4.7.3 Anti-corrosion protection We recommend that standard anti-corrosion protection is applied to the ZF-AS TRONIC. Special anti-corrosion measures are required in instances of special application with a high risk of corrosion (e.g. snow clearing ...). This can be specified on request.
4.7 Transmission installation on the assembly line

4.7.4 Painting at a later date 4.7.1 Transport When transporting the transmission, only those lugs fitted for transmission mounting to housings 1 and 3 may be used. The ZF-AS TRONIC is supplied in black colour as standard. If customers wish to paint the ZFAS TRONIC themselves, then this must correspond to the ZF specification 0000 701 850. The customer must provide confirmation that this is the case.
4.7.5 Assembly of engine, clutch and transmission The ZF-AS TRONIC is supplied with a clutch release bearing. None of the parts may be greased at a later date. There must not be any grease on the guidance pipe.
015027
This results in the following assembly procedure: Assembly of engine, clutch disc and pressure plate (use drift etc. to centre pressure plate) Grease profile of input shaft and mount in the profile of clutch disc Screw transmission bell onto the flywheel housing The clutch release bearing must now be pushed forwards. This is done with the aid of a short lever into which the clutch release fork is pushed backwards onto the lower end through the lower aperture. WARNING: Do not damage pressure plate in the process !!! The clutch snaps into the snap-on ring of the clutch release bearing Seal lower aperture on housing 1
The transmission must not be suspended by the input shaft (e.g. during transportation) (damage to bearings and gears). The ZF-AS TRONIC must also not be placed in slings for transportation purposes. If the transmission is flange-mounted on the engine, the transmission must not be suspended. ZF is not liable for instances where transmission components have been damaged by improper transportation.
4.7.2 Delivery of main transmission If requested by the customer, the ZF-AS TRONIC can be supplied as follows: with the highest gear selected in neutral

4.7.6 EOL programming To reduce delivery and service variants of the ZFAS TRONIC, the ZF-AS TRONIC software can be programmed by the vehicle manufacturer. For the EOL (end of line) programming of ZFAS TRONIC-specific vehicle variants outside the ZF organization, agreement must be reached between the vehicle manufacturer and ZF on the program variants needed and the requirements placed on documentation, production and service processes. The vehicle manufacturer adapts the EOL programming to the appropriate vehicle configuration using a vehicle parameter setting process (e.g. ratio of the rear axle, tyre radius, PTO configurations, ...). The ZF-AS TRONIC is programmed using serial data transfer. The following description summarizes the requirements placed on ZF documentation and/or ZF service.
Documentation of the EOL programming The delivery status of the ZF-AS TRONIC is documented at ZF by the order number of the vehicle manufacturer. Furthermore, ZF must also be able to fully understand all the EOL programming / parameter setting processes and modifications made outside the ZF organization, which extend over the service life of a control unit. A database is used for the ZF documentation. The data transfer between vehicle manufacturer - ZF should be specified by suitable processes. The OEM should be informed of the ZF-AS TRONICspecific data for which ZF requires documentation and agreement should be reached on this.
ZF external programming equipment ZF-AS TRONIC-specific data which is available during the EOL programming must be automatically forwarded to ZF. A standardized process should be specified for this.
For the detailed requirements, please refer to ZF TKI 6009 774 005.
4.7.7 Delivery monitoring A form is available for delivery monitoring and must be completed when the vehicle is commissioned and sent to ZF Friedrichshafen AG.

4.9 Application and documentation

4.9.1 Application The individual components (vehicle, engine, clutch, transmission, ECUs, drive programs, etc) in the AS TRONIC shift system are finely tuned with one another. The system components are defined as part of an application and documented in a customer specification (form 1328 755 001). During the application process, the customer specification is used for specifying the parts lists documenting important application stages (e.g. FMEA, agreements on the safety concept, responses to malfunctions) and system interfaces (e.g. CAN). The customer specification is confirmed by the customer and forms the basis for application approval by ZF. To prevent installation approval ceasing to apply when system-related modifications are made, any modifications which affect the transmission system must be clarified with ZF at an early date.
