Table of contents
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains important information concerning the installation, initiation and
operation of the MOBA-matic, as well as tips for maintenance and trouble-shooting.
Furthermore, you will find a detailed description of all operating elements and their
functions.
A description of all interfaces and their configuration is enclosed for the purpose of
connection and trouble-shooting.
MOBA-matic is available with various sensor combinations. Please always use this
instruction manual when working with your MOBA-matic system.
In case that your MOBA-matic system is not equipped with all sensors, please
disregard the respective descriptions.
We have taken steps to keep the information in this instruction manual correct and
up to date. To maintain our technological advance it may be necessary, without
notice, to make changes to the product or its operation which, in certain
circumstances, do not correspond to these instructions. In this case your MOBA-
supplier can supply up-to-date operating instructions. We accept no liability for
disturbances, breakdowns or damages caused thereby.
In order to ensure adequate protection during transport, the products have been
carefully packed.
On receipt the goods and the packaging should be checked for damage.
Safety measures:
The safety measures recommended here correspond basically to the guidelines for
installation und commissioning of electrical systems. They can be used for all
applications in conjunction with MOBA equipment.
Mounting:
When mounting the equipment only original MOBA-cables may be used. The
connectors may not be disconnected from the cables since they are protected
against dampness; opening them would destroy the protection. Make sure that the
securing screws of all the connectors are tightened. Further mounting information
for the equipment and sensors can be taken from the enclosed data sheets or the
installation instructions.
Wiring:
The wiring has to be carried out correctly and correspond to the information given in
these instructions. All supply leads and connecting terminals have to be sized for
the corresponding current. Further, all connections have to be made in accordance
with valid VDE regulations or with valid national regulations.
Maximum voltages:
Do not exceed the maximum allowed voltages. The maximum voltage between any
two isolated circuits, or between one circuit and earth, is, if not otherwise noted,
limited to the highest value of the corresponding input voltage or the corresponding
supply voltage. The connecting terminals or plugs have to be equipped with a fuse.
Fuses:
The equipment is fitted with electronic fuses for protection against crossed
connections, voltage spikes and short term over-voltages. The supply voltages given
in the technical data may not be exceeded.
Configuration:
The equipment can be configured by the user. When reconfiguring, the user is
obliged to do this only in accordance with the circumstances of the complete
system.
9
Alarm device:
In complex systems, in which a malfunction could lead to danger to the operating
personnel or to the system, it is wise to employ an independent alarm device to
supervise the process. An independent device offers protection by announcing an
alarm and switching off the system. In many cases the use of an alarm in the
controller does not, because it is not independent of the control system, provide
adequate protection.
Fault clearance:
Before starting to clear faults make sure that every voltage supply to the equipment
has been removed. Faulty equipment should be examined in an area suitably fitted
out for test purposes. Every attempt to correct a fault in equipment that is still
installed can be dangerous for personnel and for the system. Before you remove or
exchange sensors in the system, make sure that the supply voltages have been
removed.
If the above precautionary measures are not observed, this can lead to a
failure of the equipment, of the machine or even injury to personnel. Damage
or injury, which is traceable to non-observance of the precautionary measures
described above, is excluded from the manufacturers guarantee.

4. The Digital Controller
The controller can be used for all current machine types. The
controller has a digital display, a LED display and four function
lamps as well as push buttons to operate it.
Because of its integrated illumination the 3-digit liquid crystal display is well
readable.
The display symbols have the following significance:
The LEDs are only used to make the status of the currently driven valve outputs
better perceptible for the user. Their representation is only an increased and more
detailed display of the arrow symbols function on the LC display. In particular when
the user is standing at a larger distance from the controller or during stronger
insolation the LED display will be helpful.

This status signal also occurs if the automatic controlling of the MOBA-matic has been locked using the
function "valve interruption". In this case the valve outputs are switched off and the digital controllers operation
is prevented.
Therefore a defined signal can be applied to Pin A or J (depending on the version of the digital controller) in
order to interrupt the controlling, e.g. while the machine stands still. Also see section 15 Technical data" in this
manual.

4.4 Sensor identification
After the switch-on message, the digital controller indicates the identification of the
sensor that was used last in an alternating display mode. The identification of the
various sensors are listed in those paragraphs dealing with their operation.
In addition to this, the two direction lamps will flash. After that, the controller
automatically changes to the working mode.
Important: In case that the sensor has been replaced or removed, the controller will
clearly indicate this with the no-message shown below. The operator should be
informed about this fact and about the need to check all settings for the new sensor
when switching on the system. Please acknowledge this message by pressing any
button.
20
4.5 Operator menu
In the controllers operator menu, you will find all parameters and settings that are
important for the control system in general and for the use of the various sensors.
Due to the fact that you may compose your individual system
(depending on the application and the related selection of sensors),
the operator menu appears in different ways.
In order to avoid unnecessary confusion, menu points which are
irrelevant for the sensor combination actually used, will not be
indicated when calling the operator menu. Due to this, sometimes the
operator menu consist of only 2 menu points; another time it
comprises 7 or 8, depending on the application.
In the following, all menu points are described in their order of appearance in a fully
equipped and appropriately configurated system.
If several sensors are attached at the machine and thus at the CAN-bus at the same
time, the sensor required for the respective work can be selected in the operator
menu under the menu point >Sensor selection<. The controlling is then operated
with the selected sensor.

4.5.3 Sensitivity setting
If the MOBA-matic is operated with different sensor types (grade and slope sensors)
the controllers sensitivity should be individually adjusted.
The range of adjustment of this menu point is always from 1 (low sensitivity) to 10
(high sensitivity). These figures accrue from an expedient combination of the control
parameters Deadband and Propband, which has been determined by an
extensive test series.
On the next pages, you will find a comparison of the respective values as well as an
explanation of what they stand for.
The sensitivity has to be adjusted separately for grade and slope sensors. If a
sensor has to be replaced at a later point of time, this value will be automatically
loaded.
If the MOBA-matic works too unstable in the automatic mode, the sensitivity has to
be reduced at the respective digital controller. If the MOBA-matic works too
sluggishly in the automatic mode, the sensitivity has to be increased.

If a slope sensor is connected with the CAN-bus, but a grade sensor has been
selected as active sensor for this controller (also see 4.5.1 Sensor Selection), the
first thing the operator menu indicates will be the currently measured cross slope of
the tool.

4.5.5 Control window setting
This menu point only appears if a grade sensor has been chosen as active sensor in
the menu point Sensor selection, because it only effects this sensor type.
If a control deviation appears that is greater than the set range this control deviation
will be recognized as a fault.
The display will show the symbol for the control window, both direction arrows of the
LC display and the complete LED arrow will flash and the drive of the hydraulic
cylinders will be switched off.
The input is done in 0.1 cm, 0.1 inch or 0.01 feet steps, depending on which
physical unit for the distance measurements has been set.

4.5.6 Position factor
This menu point will only appear if a grade sensor has been chosen as active

type, and if it has been activated by your MOBA-supplier during the presetting of the
controller.

Change in height of sensor ...
However, at position 3, the change in the sensors height is considerably bigger than
the tools. Consequently, the position factor has to be smaller than 1.00, since the
sensor is located farther away from the pivot than the tool.
We can determine the position factor with the help of the following formula:
If the MOBA-matic system is to be used with varying machines, it is possible for the
MOBA-dealer to store different hydraulic parameter settings for up to x different
machine types (the maximum number of hydraulic types can be limited by your
MOBA-supplier during the controllers initial presetting).

The following operating instructions for the various sensors are based on the
controllers standard presetting (see previous page).
Specific differences in the user settings (such as the semi-automatic mode or
different step sizes for the setpoint adjustment) have no influence on the general
operating procedures.

6. The Digi-Slope sensor
6.1 Description
Sensor identification:
After the switch-on or if a sensor has been changed, the display alternates between
the sign for the Digi-Slope sensor and the side identification (right = right or left =
left).
6.2 Mounting
The Digi-Slope sensor has to be mounted at a part of the machine that carries out
all slope changes in the same way as the tool does.
With milling machines, the lower area of the machine should be preferred (e.g. on
the milling drum housing); in case of a paver, we recommend the cross linkage
between the tow arms.
For mounting purposes, four fixing holes are provided in the sensors fixing plate
(for drawing, see section 15 Technical data).
The connectors have to be freely accessible, so that the connecting cable can be
easily plugged in. Please observe the direction of mounting (FWD/arrow in moving
direction).
38
6.3 Operation of the Digi-Slope sensor
It is assumed that the Digi-Slope sensor and the digital controller are mounted, the
cables are connected and the digital controller has its voltage supply. After the
switch-on message, the digital controller indicates the sensor identification. As soon
as the message of the connected sensor disappears, the system will be operable. If
the sensor is being used for the first time or has been changed, the sensor
identification has to be acknowledged by pressing any button. Select a sensor as
described in the previous chapter, if necessary.

6.3.1 Setting up the measured value
For the first time setting up the measured value has to be done during the
initiation of the slope sensor. With this procedure, the indicated value of
both digital controllers will be adjusted to the actual cross-slope of the tool
to be controlled.
The following example describes how to set the numerical value of an adjusted
slope setpoint to the measured value of the working result while working in
automatic mode.
1 2 3 4
2.30
If necessary repeat step 2 to 4 until the adjusted setpoint and the produced cross slope are
identical.
For best working results the measured value has to be checked and if
necessary re-adjusted in periodical intervals.
In general, the procedure for setting up the measured value has to be
repeated if the Digi-Slope sensor had to be exchanged, the mounting
position had to be changed or any mechanical changes are made at
the tool or its fastening (e.g. mechanical adjustment of the screeds
angle of attack at the paver).

8. The Rotary sensor
8.1 Description
The rotary sensor is used for distance measurement and senses its measured
values from an existing reference using mechanical aids. This may be a tense,
calibrated string line as well as a surface (e.g. road surface).
Sensor identification:
After the switch-on or if a sensor has been changed, the display alternates between
the sign for Rotary and the sign for sensor.
Two aids are available for sensing the different references. The sensing tube is
used when sensing a string line; the sensing ski when sensing a surface.
The Rotary Sensor can be mounted quickly and easily with simple tools. For this
purpose, a fastening tube should be fitted at a suitable position (paver: tow arm at
the height of the material auger; milling machine: at the chassis above the milling
drum).

9. The Wire Rope sensor (YOYO)
9.1 Description
The Wire Rope sensor is mainly used in connection with the milling machine. It is
used for distance measurement and has a measuring range of 50cm.
Sensor identification:
After the switch-on or if a sensor has been changed, the display alternates between
the sign for wire rope and the sign for sensor.
9.2 Mounting
There are mounting holes at the outside of the machine, above the milling drum (for
a drawing of the sensor housing, see section 15 Technical data). There, the sensor
is installed with the rope outlet downwards (so that no humidity can seep in). The
rope can be pulled out approx. 50 cm and is hung or fixed at the designated place at
the side shield of the milling machine.
When working with the milling machine with a completely lowered side
shield, the rope of the wire rope sensor should always be pulled out up to
approx. 3 cm, in order to make use of the maximum measuring range of
the sensor.
55
For other applications, the rope should be fixed in a way that a maximum working
range is available for the intended application.
The rope inlet and outlet respectively always has to be done vertically to the sensor.

10. The Laser Receiver LS 3000
10.1 Description
The laser receiver is a sensor used for distance measurement, which is suitable for
all standard rotation lasers such as red light transmitters (helium, neon) and infrared
transmitters. Among other applications, it is used for the construction of sports fields
and has a range of reception of approx. 29 cm.
Sensor identification:
After the switch-on or if a sensor has been changed, the controller display alternates
between the sign for the Laser Receiver LS 3000 and the sign for sensor.
In order to mount the laser receiver, an extension mast should be available on the
machine.
The best place of installation at the milling machine is the outside of the machine,
above the milling drum axle. For a paver, it would be the outer edge of the screed,
at the height of the material auger.
The diameter of the laser receivers fastening tube may vary from 30mm to 46mm.
60
Make sure that the laser receiver is mounted high enough so that no obstacles can
come between the laser transmitter and the laser receiver. Also reflections of the
transmitter due to smooth surfaces near the receiver should be avoided.
The LS 3000 is a linear laser receiver. The working point can be taken over or
changed easily with a simple push button action. Nevertheless the LS 3000 should
be mounted in the center. So there is the possibility to change the working point
over the hole range.

10.3 The LED-display of the Laser Receiver LS 3000
Only if the laser beam centrically hits the receiver the full working range of approx.
14 cm is available.
One of the systems great advantages is the possibility to adopt the working point at
any place at the laser receiver, when the laser beam hits it.
Depending on the planned application this can be expedient.
An asymmetrical working point enlarges the directions available adjustment range
(raise and lower respectively) while the other one, however, is reduced by the same
extent.

The positioning aid only functions if the controller, that the receiver is
connected to, is in manual operation.

In the operating type Automatic the LS 3000s LEDs visualize the state of
the respective actuated valve output to the operator.
They now are working analog to the digital controllers LED-display.
It is assumed that the laser receiver and the digital controller are mounted, that all
cables are connected, that the controller has its voltage supply and that a laser
transmitter has been put into operation. After the switch-on message, the digital
controller indicates the sensor identification. As soon as the message disappears,
the system will be operable. If the sensor is being used for the first time or has been
changed, the sensor identification has to be acknowledged by pressing any button.
If necessary, select this sensor as described in section 4 in this manual.

11. The Dual-Sonic sensor
11.1 Description
The Dual-Sonic sensor is used for distance measuring, works contactless and is
temperature-compensated.
Sensor identification:
After the switch-on or if a sensor has been changed, the display alternates between
the sign for Sonic and the sign for sensor.
The Dual-Sonic sensor can be mounted quickly and easily with the simplest of tools.
For these purposes, a bracket should be mounted at a suitable location. The bracket
has to be adjustable in height so that the Dual-Sonic sensor can be fixed above the
reference without trouble. The bracket may differ according to the machine. When
mounting the Dual-Sonic sensor please bear in mind that the sensor should be fixed
as near to vertical as possible.

12. The Big-Ski
12.1 Description
For the Big-Ski, the principle of averaging as known from the Sonic-Ski Sensor
is adapted. For this purpose, generally three sensors (e.g. 3x Sonic-Ski or 2x Sonic-
Ski [front and back] + 1x Wire Rope sensor [middle]) are distributed all over the
machine length - or even projecting above it using the appropriate mechanical aids.
In some exceptional cases, averaging can also be done with only two sensors
(Sonic-Ski at the front and the back side).
Therefore even extensive unevennesses or waves in the longitudinal direction of
the ground can be leveled out.
Sensor identification:
After the switch-on or if a sensor has been changed, the controller display alternates
between a numerical indication figures 1 to 3 stand for the occupied plugs of the
Big-Ski connector box and the connected Big-Ski plugs of the machine wired with
a CAN-bus respectively- and the sign for sensor.
=
74
12.2 Function mode
After all smaller inaccuracies and obstacles have been neutralized by the averaging
process of each Sonic-Ski sensor, the Big-Ski construction now also reduces waves
and smaller, oblong altitude differences in the longitudinal profile of the ground.
However, larger deviations remain excluded from the averaging if the control window
is set appropriately.
12.3.1 Mechanic
The mechanical system is of essential importance when using the Big-Ski system.
However, since this system is individually designed by the supplier or the customer,
we can only describe a standard mounting procedure.
Due to its extraordinary length, the sensor bracket should be solidly built and
screwed tightly to the tool bracket.
It is recommendable to subdivide the system into several components in order to
facilitate transport and mounting.
Furthermore, it has proved useful to u-bend the components at the joints (see
drawing). In doing so, the alignment of the sensors above the reference is
considerably facilitated (quite often, Sonic-Skis are positioned in front of or behind
the machine, so that a reliable sensing of the reference is secured even in curves).
X1 X2
When working with machines with a wired CAN-bus, the connection of 3 sensors in
order to build a Big-Ski is no problem since appropriately coded connector plugs are
provided at the front, in the middle and at the back of the machine side. The
consecutive numbering, which the indication on the controller display refers to, is
always done from the front to the back (in moving direction).
At the positions 1 and 3 i.e. at the front and at the back please
only use ultrasonic sensors.
1 2 3
z.B.:
e.g.:
Connect the digital controller with the input of the junction box. After that, connect
the desired sensor combination to the outputs of the junction box as described
below. The front sensor (as seen from the moving direction) is connected to output
1, the middle one to output 2 and the one at the back to output 3.
This order is the basis for the numerical indication on the controller display during
sensor identification.
At the positions 1 and 3 i.e. at the front and at the back please
only use ultrasonic sensors.

12.5 Working with the Big-Ski
It is assumed that the Big-Ski and the digital controller are mounted, that all cables
are connected and the digital controller has its voltage supply. After the switch-on
message, the digital controller indicates the sensor identification. As soon as the
message disappears, the system will be operable. If the Big-Ski is being used for
the first time or the sensor combination has been changed, the sensor identification
has to be acknowledged by pressing any button. If necessary, select a sensor as
described in section 4.
If the Big-Ski has been chosen as active sensor the string line lamp is on.
1a 1b 2
After pressing the buttons only the measuring signal of the sensor connected to the
plug in the middle of the Big-Ski is evaluated. The operation and the indications of
this sensor then correspond to the description in this manual. *
Attention!
When switching from the single sensor evaluation to averaging, the
value of the simulated ski is adapted to the value of the single sensor;
i.e. no change of the actual value takes place.
When switching the other way, however - from averaging to the single
sensor evaluation - the value of the single sensor is not adapted; i.e.
a change of the actual value may occur.
This function facilitates for example the setting-up of the Big-ski over a reference at
the beginning of a new job, if a suitable scanning surface is not yet available for all
sensors.
* Restriction: If a Sonic-Ski sensor is connected to the plug in the middle of the Big-Ski and the
system has been switched to single sensor evaluation, this Sonic-Ski sensor can not be switched to
string line mode.

After pressing the buttons again the average value of the measuring signals of all 3
sensors connected to the Big-Ski is calculated.

13. Maintenance
The MOBA-matic system has been developed for maximum operating safety.
Maintenance only requires minimum effort.
All electronic parts are located in robust housings in order to avoid mechanical
damages.
However, the devices as well as all power supply and connecting cables
should be checked regularly with regard to possible damages and
impurity.
Please keep the threads of all plug-in connections and cable sleeves
free of grease, dirt, asphalt and other impurities in order to avoid bad
contacts.
Do not use detergents with abrasive substances to clean the displays. The
surface will get scratches and become tarnished.
