4 Introduction
This document is intended for use by the manufacturers of trailer vehicles and
workshops.
Since the Trailer EBS E is a very complex system, this system description is ex-
tensive. Here are a couple of notes on the structure of the document:
Braking system
This chapter provides a description of the functions that are required to meet legal
guidelines, such as the ABS, RSS and other braking control functions.
GIO functions
Besides controlling wheel brakes, the Trailer EBS E Premium variant has a number
of functions that can be created specific to the respective vehicle. Besides the solu-
tions ‘prepared’ by WABCO, such as the control of air suspension systems or the
dynamic wheelbase control, the methods for implementing customisable third-party
controllers from the vehicle manufacturer is also explained in this chapter.
External systems
This chapter provides you with information on the following external systems,
which can be connected to the Trailer EBS E Modulator: Electronic expansion
module ELEX (including descriptions on possible additional functions), Trailer Re-
mote Control, (trailer remote control), tire pressure monitoring (IVTM), External
ECAS, Trailer Central Electronic and Telematics (TrailerGUARD).

installed and mounted.

ter settings and setting with the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
