EOLT - EB+ Soft Docking Tests

The new "EB+ Soft Docking" system supports various hardware and software setups and therefore a detailed test has been implemented in DIAG+ v6.14 to ensure the system is working in line with the user expectation. All test results are finally visible on the EOL test report.

Note: The screen above shows the final result screen of the EB+ Soft Docking test, details about the test sequence are shown below.

this test is primary a component and not a system test, if needed a full system test including brake application can be performed during final "Lamp and Auxiliary tests"
during this component tests the normal beeper function is disabled
also automatic brake application at 1m distance detection is disabled **)

Step by Step - Test sequence (4 sensor system)

Start - Select Reverse Gear

if DIAG+ detects that "Reverse Gear/Light" was already active prior to this step the user will get a request to disable it first
usually the user will only be requested to enable the "Reverse Gear", like shown here, this powers up the "EB+ Soft Docking" sub system
if fitted, the tail lamps start to flash in a frequency corresponding to the measured distance to closest obstacle

Cover Sensor - Yellow Channel

DIAG+ indicates connected US-sensors by corresponding yellow boxes per channel (in this case 4)
cover any of the sensors connected to the yellow channel, use the shown offset to ensure correct location, sensors on green channel will be ignored during this step
if sensor coverage has been detected by the system the colour of a yellow box changes into green and the beeper is activated for 1 s to provide audible feedback in an production environment.

Cover 2nd Sensor - Yellow Channel

DIAG+ indicates previously covered US-sensors by green boxes
cover next sensor connected to the yellow channel
as before, if sensor coverage has been detected by the system the colour of a yellow box changes into green and the beeper is activated for 1 s to provide audible feedback in an production environment.

Cover Sensor - Green Channel

after covering all sensors on yellow channel the test continues automatically on green channel
cover any sensor connected to the green channel
as before, if sensor coverage has been detected by the system the colour of a yellow box changes into green and the beeper is activated for 1 s to provide audible feedback in an production environment.

Cover 2nd Sensor - Green Channel

cover second sensor connected to the green channel
as before, if sensor coverage has been detected by the system the colour of a yellow box changes into green and the beeper is activated for 1 s to provide audible feedback in an production environment.

Tail Lamps - Function Test

like during whole test the system activates the tail lamps and they should flash regulary now
the test step has three result options:
- OK - in case you see flashing lights
- Not fitted - in case your setup does not include tail lights connection
- Cancel - in case the light are not working, this leads to a failed test

Beeper - Sound Test

for this test the system activates the beeper and you should hear a regular flashing sound
as before this test step has three result options:
- OK - in case you hear a sound
- Not fitted - in case your setup does not include a beeper
- Cancel - in case you don't hear the beeper, this leads to a failed test

Finish - Disable Reverse Gear

at this point all EB+ Soft Docking components have been tested
in order to disable the sub system the user has to disable the reverse light
from this point the EB+ Soft Docking system is back in normal operation mode (brake and beeper function)
based on EOLT settings the program will show the final EB+ Soft Docking test screen (shown on top) or continues automatically with the next EOLT test step
