9.1 Parameter definition with TEBS E Diagnostic Software
Introduction
WABCO offers TEBS E as a universal system that must be adjusted to the respec-
tive vehicle type by means of parameters. TEBS E cannot function without such a
configuration.
The TEBS E Diagnostic Software is used for setting the parameters. For series
production of vehicles, prepared parameter sets can be copied into the TEBS E.
Please note that new modulators required the TEBS E Diagnostic Software of the
most recent version.
User guidance in the TEBS E Diagnostic Software follows the required configura-
tion steps. Operation of the program is self-explanatory and additionally there is a
comprehensive help system within the software.
Parameter setting is started by means of the Start-up menu. Applications
and functions are logically grouped on the different screens which are
easily opened using tabs. Settings are defined by clicking option fields,
selecting text fields or entering numbers.
The tab Connectors on the right-hand side of the screen allows assigning GIO
functions to the different GIO slots.
If more GIO functions are required than the slots available on the TEBS E, the
Premium modulator must be used in combination with ELEX.
There are 7 parameter-definable connections (GIO1-7) on the TEBS E modulator
and 4 parameter-definable connections (GIO13-16) on the ELEX.
Standard configurations have been defined to facilitate the process of setting pa-
rameters and GIO port assignments for standard applications, see chapter 12.4
‘GIO diagram’, page 210. T
hese standard configurations show the maximum pos-
sible connection to the TEBS E modulator – from a simple semitrailer with the RTR
function up to the ECAS function with unloading level switch, road finisher brake
etc.
If a new parameter set is to be created for a vehicle, a suitable GIO plan is se-
lected first. The respective parameter set suitable for this is stored in the TEBS E
Diagnostic Software (under the GIO diagram number).
The TEBS E Modulator pin assignments are defined in the GIO plans for the Stan-
dard and Premium variant respectively. The respective maximum systems are de-
scribed in the plans and parameter records.
If the functions are not required, they can simply be deselected in the selection of
functions.
Offline parameter setting
Defining a parameter set directly on the vehicle is easier because the type of the
connected TEBS E Modulator is recognised automatically. But a parameter set can
also be prepared in advance, without a vehicle, for subsequent use on the PC.
