Battery Disconnect Switch Control Unit, Component Description

The document describes the battery disconnect switch control unit (BESO) used in various Mercedes-Benz truck models. The BESO control unit evaluates the positions of the emergency off switch and frame emergency off switch. If either switch is pressed, the BESO disconnects the onboard electrical system from the battery by actuating an integrated bistable relay. It also sends messages over the CAN bus to notify other control units like the engine management system to shut down. The location of the BESO control unit depends on whether the vehicle has a standard or integral rear end.

Tasks Bistable relay for disconnecting the on-board electrical system


Evaluating the positions of the EMERGENCY OFF switch (S30) from the battery
and the frame EMERGENCY OFF frame (S31) Function
Disconnecting the on-board electrical system from the battery, The battery disconnect switch (BESO) control unit (A33) evaluates the
when the EMERGENCY OFF switch (S30) or the frame positions of the EMERGENCY OFF switch (S30) and the frame
EMERGENCY OFF switch (S31) is pressed EMERGENCY OFF switch (S31) via the input signal. If the
Body EMERGENCY OFF switch (S30) or the frame EMERGENCY OFF
Control electronics switch (S31) is pressed, the battery disconnect switch (BESO) control
unit (A33) disconnects the on-board electrical system from the battery.
Even before the on-board electrical system is disconnected from the
battery, it sends a message to the exterior CAN (CAN 1) for further
processing, announcing that the on-board electrical system will be
disconnected from the battery. Among other things, the engine
management (MCM) control unit (A4) initiates the switching-off of the
engine due to this message. The on-board electrical system is
disconnected by a bistable relay integrated into the battery disconnect
switch (BESO) control unit (A33). The bistable relay is actuated 800
ms after the battery disconnect switch (BESO) control unit (A33) has
recognized that the EMERGENCY OFF switch (S30) or the frame
EMERGENCY OFF switch (S31) was pressed. The tachograph (TCO)
(P1) continues to be supplied with voltage by the battery disconnect
switch (BESO) control unit (A33) via a separate pin.
As a redundant message on the exterior CAN (CAN 1), the battery
disconnect switch (BESO) control unit (A33) also transmits a pulse
width modulated signal via a direct line to the cab sensor and actuator
module (SCA) control unit (A7). If the battery disconnect switch
(BESO) control unit (A33) detects that the EMERGENCY OFF switch
(S30) or frame EMERGENCY OFF switch (S31) has been pressed, it
changes the duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal from 50 %
to 75 %, whereupon the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) control
unit (A7) detects that disconnection of the on-board electrical system is
being initiated.
