General 

Functional reliability 

The MB Advanced Control, control unit (N175) is a control unit with applications for smartphones that enable connection to typical camper van systems such as the cameras, heating, refrigerator, gas, fresh water, wastewater, etc. It combines the systems and, via the user interface (HMI) as well as smart devices, provides a status display and a control option. It is supported here by a PC-based, graphic configuration tool.

IMPORTANT It is possible to control caravan accessories via the head unit or the smartphone app.

Properties 

The configuration specific to bodybuilder manufacturers is stored in "VeDoc". Individual coding can be transferred into the MBAC using XENTRY Diagnosis Software with menu item "Configuration - Manual Settings - VeDoc".

The MBAC can be installed with or without video interface.

During SCN coding, the individual configuration is deleted and overwritten with a standard factory coding ("DEACTIVATED/Bluetooth® pairing button only").

Up to three MBACs can be connected to each other to increase the number of inputs and outputs.

The MBAC (Mercedes-Benz Advanced Control) provides the bodybuilder manufacturer with an interface, not a system. The MBAC functionalities made available over the interface are validated in accordance with ISO 26262. Responsibility for the validation of functions in which the MBAC is involved, along with the observance of common standards (e.g. ISO 26262 for functional safety) and specifications lies at all times with the bodybuilder manufacturer.

Additional function requirements 

The MBAC is independent of the on-board electrical system battery. If the MBAC is disconnected from the secondary battery, the MBAC switches to operating mode OFF.

Basic functions of the MBAC 

The MBAC has the following basic functions:

Control 

The MBAC can operate the following equipment:

The following functions are purely comfort functions.

Operation of the following equipment is observed here:

Actuator functions are functions with potential safety relevance. However, a final assessment of the safety relevance can only be provided by the manufacturer of the overall system

To safeguard these functions Mercedes-Benz enables the locking of actuator functions when driving. The functions are locked in the MBAC via the configuration file at a speed of v > 0 km/h.

If a higher degree of protection is required, this should be implemented by the bodybuilder manufacturer. Protected signals (e.g. speed, ignition) from the PSM can be used for this.

Operation of the following equipment is observed here:

Control of the individual equipment is shown in separate documents.

Status scan 

The MBAC can query the status of the following scopes:

For the display of status information in installed displays, access to these scopes is read-only.

The status query of the individual components is shown in separate documents.

The following MBAC functions are shown in separate documents:
