ABS FLEX
™
PROGRAM
The ABS Flex
™
program uses Auxiliary Design Language
(ADL) to allow customized auxiliary functions to be carried
out by the TABS-6 module. Programs developed in the ABS
Flex
™
program may be downloaded at the production line or
in the eld to control non-braking functions of the trailer.
For example, ABS Flex
™
program can potentially
communicate the status of: tire ination and/or temperature;
reefer temperature; load presence; slider pin position;
lift axle position; proximity/reverse alarm; and vehicle
weight.
ABS Flex
™
programs 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
Flex
™
program for your vehicle(s).

bytes of information. This information can then be read
using the Bendix

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