ADVANCED MULTI-CHANNEL MODULE (BENDIX TABS-6 ADV MC)
1. INTRODUCTION
The Bendix
®
TABS‑6
Adv MC module is an integrated multi‑
channel (4S/2M) trailer service brake module controller for
air‑braked heavy‑duty semi‑trailers that features Bendix
®
Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Bendix
®
Trailer Roll Stability
Program (TRSP
®
).
Installed on semi‑trailers, the module acts as a relay valve
during normal braking, but during ABS events it will intervene
to help maintain vehicle stability and minimize stopping
distance by preventing wheel lock‑up. The Bendix TRSP
monitors the trailer's motion and reduces the risk of roll overs
by automatically applying the brakes when a risk of roll over
is detected.
This module features:
● AmodulardesignwithanintegratedElectronicControlUnit
(ECU);pressuresensors;alateralaccelerationsensor;and
Modulator Relay Valves (MRVs) — eliminating external
pigtail harnesses for these components.
● Anoperatingvoltagerangeof8-32volts.
● Anelectronicodometerwithtripcounters&serviceinterval
