Freely configurable digital function
Purpose
Free programming by the manufacturer of a GIO digital input or output depending
on speeds and times.
As of TEBS E4 many items of TEBS E-internal information can be
evaluated to generate signals to a jointly used buzzer or jointly used
lamp.
Freely configurable analogue function
Purpose
Free programming by the manufacturer of a GIO analogue input or output depend-
ing on speeds and times.
With both analogue and digital functions an Event (for example) can be stored or a
GIO output switched as a function of a switch signal and the vehicle speed, see
chapter 5.10.6 ‘Operating data record (ODR)’, page
Control of freely configurable functions via Trailer Remote Control
In combination with ELEX the functions can also be controlled via Trailer Remote
Control. (The signals from Trailer Remote Control are linked to the input signals of
both functions by means of an ‘or’ function.)
A pushbutton from the Trailer Remote Control can also be used as an input signal
instead of a switch of the freely configurable analogue or digital function.
Possible applications are, for example, control of an electric walking floor or an
electric tarpaulin from the towing vehicle.
Freely configurable functions
In addition to the analogue and digital functions it is also possible to store what are
known as GIO function modules in TEBS E via the diagnosis. These are capable of
processing internal signals (CAN bus, internal pressures, speeds) as well as exter-
nal input variables (such as switch, pressure sensor, SmartBoard).
Output signals as well as internal functions such as saving events to the event re-
corder can be controlled according GIO function module programming. The func-
tion can therefore be used to implement small customer-specific applications.
Parameter setting
The function is loaded in TEBS E using a *.FCF or *.ECU file.
Please speak with your WABCO partner about parameters for the freely configur-
able functions. Only files created by WABCO can be loaded into the ECU.
