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.
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
- Status scan
- Management of Bluetooth® devices
- Compliant additional devices
- Mapping of additional devices
- Services for additional devices
Control
The MBAC can operate the following equipment:
- Wake up of the parameterizable special module (PSM).
- Roof ventilator control
- Awning control
- Pop-up roof control
- Control of LED of Bluetooth® pairing/reset pushbutton switch
- Sinus power inverter control
- Stabilizing jack
- Water drain valve control
- Roller blind control
- Light control
- Heater control
- Air conditioning system control
- Refrigerator control
- Step control
- Control of satellite antenna
- Operation of satellite reception
- Control of roof ventilation flap
- Lifting bed control
- TV pullout control
- Battery management
- Motion detector
- Analog sound generator
The following functions are purely comfort functions.
Operation of the following equipment is observed here:
- Air conditioning system
- Lighting circuit/ambient
- Motion detector
- TV drawer
- Sound system
- Water pump
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:
- Windows/roof hatches
- Step
- Operation of satellite reception
- Roller blind
For the windshield and side windows, the function requires a speed check.
Roller blinds on the rear window that do not impair the driver's view can be excluded from this.
- Awning
- Water drain
- Slide-out window
Control of the individual equipment is shown in separate documents.
Status scan
The MBAC can query the status of the following scopes:
- Vehicle status
- Air conditioning system status
- Touch events
- IP cameras
- Heating system status
- Light status
- Environmental data
- Pop-up roof status
- Roof ventilator status
- Awning status
- Water drain valve status
- Roller blind status
- Flap sensor status
- Fill levels
- Refrigerator status
- Door sensors
- Window sensors
- Status of roof ventilation flap
- Status of pushbutton switch of roof ventilation flap
- Rain sensor
- Step status
- Battery management
- Wake-up pushbutton switch status
- Bluetooth® pairing/reset button status
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:
- Management of Bluetooth® devices
- Compliant additional devices
- Mapping of additional devices
- Services for additional devices
