INTRODUCTION
The Bendix
®
TABS-6
™
module is an integrated trailer ABS
controller and modulator for air-braked heavy-duty trailers, semi-
trailers and dollies. The module acts as a relay valve during
normal braking, but during ABS events, it will intervene to help
improve stability. All modules include an Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) and Modulator Relay Valve (MRV) which are integrated
into a single self-contained 2S/1M (two-sensor, one modulator)
trailer ABS unit. The
Premium Bendix TABS-6 module
is auto-
configurable to control more sensors and modulators (up to
4S/3M) from its default 2S/1M.
Bendix TABS-6 modules also feature:
• Internal electrical connections to the primary MRV,
eliminating the need for external pigtail harnesses.
• Optional mounting to the service reservoir or to the chassis,
without additional brackets.
• Blink code diagnostics and support for advanced diagnostic
tools.
• Support for Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication to the
towing vehicle.
• A pressure equalizing valve in the sealed ECU housing to
give improved protection from water, etc.
• A locking dust cover to provide additional electrical
connector and cable protection.
• A serviceable nylon filter to help prevent foreign material
from entering the control port.
