Electronic blocking of differential (EDS)

Electronic blocking of differential (Elektronische Differential-Sperre) does not work in the main transfer by means of a mechanical peremykaniye of differential or by means of the surfaces of friction as it complicates steering and the movement on turns. The letter "e" in EDS abbreviation already speaks about use of electronics – in combination with system of anti-blocking:

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. When in a start of motion the forward wheel rotates, about it recognize speed sensors by various value of frequency of rotation of wheels.
  2. The combined ABS and EDS control unit puts in action a disk brake on the turned wheel. It is carried out at the expense of additional pair of electromagnetic valves in the hydraulic ABS module. ABS opens connection from pressure collector to the wheel cylinder of the corresponding disk brake until the wheel does not slow down so that other forward wheel can transfer effort.
  3. As soon as on both wheels there are identical conditions of pro-slipping, the control unit finishes process of adjustment and closes electromagnetic valves. The driver does not need to interfere, he notices blocking of differential only on change of nature of noise.
  4. To exclude failure, EDS is controlled by the scheme of blocking. On the basis of pressure of brakes, and also after the determined maximum period of time of EDS it is disconnected to avoid an overload of brakes. At a speed over 40 km/h of EDS it is disconnected always. Schemes of electromagnetic valves are so calculated that forward brakes cannot work without control.
  5. If the control unit distinguishes failure in work of EDS, then EDS is disconnected. The system of anti-blocking continues to function. In all cases of Audi it is ready to braking at any time.
  6. The device of storing of malfunctions works the same as is described in the section on ABS.
