Tank (Nipple) Mounted

The BR9235MRV can be tank-mounted using a schedule 80 (heavy gauge steel) 3/4" NPT nipple directly between the trailer supply tank and the supply port. A tank with a reinforced port must be used.

Bracket (Chassis) Mounted

The BR9235MRV provides an option with a bracket for frame mounting directly to the trailer frame rail or crossmember. It is recommended to use two Grade 5, 3/8‑16 bolts, torqued to 180 – 220 in-lbs.

J1708/J1587 DIAGNOSTIC LINK

The Premium TABS-6 module provides a J1708/J1587 diagnostic link with data and power to communicate with the vehicle and various diagnostic tools. Diagnostics, testing, configuration, data transfer and other functions can be performed using this link. Diagnostic tools such as the MPSI Pro-Linkdevice and Bendix® ACOMDiagnostic Software (version 4.0 and higher) support the TABS-6 Module.

Ignition power must be provided to the TABS-6 module for the diagnostic link to be active.

AUXILIARY I/O

The Standard module provides for one auxiliary I/O function.

The Premium module provides for up to five auxiliary functions and one additional ground. See Chart 3, below.

Bendix® ACOMDiagnostic Software (version 4.0 and higher) supports the configuration of the TABS-6 module

auxiliary I/O’s.

ABs FlexProgram

The ABS Flexprogram uses Auxiliary Design Language (ADL) to allow customized auxiliary functions to be carried out by the TABS-6 module. Programs developed in the ABS Flexprogram may be downloaded at the production line or in the field to control non-braking functions of the trailer.

For example, ABS Flexprogram can potentially communicate the status of: tire inflation and/or temperature; reefer temperature; load presence; slider pin position; lift axle position; proximity/reverse alarm; and vehicle weight.

ABS Flexprograms monitor the auxiliary I/Os and/or the SAE J1587 diagnostics and SAE J2497 PLC data links. Contact your Bendix Account Manager to discuss an ABS Flexprogram for your vehicle(s).

CUSTOMER SCRATCH PAD

The TABS-6 module has a Customer Scratch Pad feature which allows the customer, or end-user, to store up to 756 bytes of information. This information can then be read using the Bendix® ACOMDiagnostic Software (version 4.0 and higher).

If additional scratch pad space is needed, this storage space can be expanded to 1K (1,008 bytes total of data). Contact Bendix for further details.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE

At power-up, the TABS-6 module performs a series of self- checks that can assist a technician to determine the ABS system status and configuration.
