Electronic activation of the EBS braking components clearly reduces response and build-up times in brake cylinders. This in turn reduces braking distance by several meters, which can be decisive in some situations. The integrated ABS function ensures driving stability and steerability throughout the braking procedure.
Features
Electronic activation of all braking system components
Retarder and engine brake integration into the service brake application
Brake force distribution adapts to load distribution
Brake compatibility between tractor and trailer
Comfortable deceleration control
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Differential Slip Control (DSR)
Automatic Traction Control (ATC)
Continuous self-testing via integrated diagnostic and monitoring functions
Benefits
Increased braking comfort
Improved vehicle safety
Improved brake wear
Easier maintenance
Optional additions
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which independently intervenes to adjust engine and brake controls to reduce rollover, skidding, spinning and jack-knifing
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) interface, with driver alert system that automatically monitors traffic and senses distance from the vehicle in front
System types
EBS Evolution
"Open-structured" platform of:
Brake signal transmitter
Central module
Proportional relay valve
Rear-axle modulator
Trailer control valve (optional)
2P/1E system consisting of a single-circuit electro-pneumatic section, supported by a dual-circuit pneumatic section as a redundancy
EBS Compact
Integrates three components into a Central Brake Unit (CBU):
Proportional relay valve
Brake signal transmitter
Central module
1P/1E system consisting of a single-circuit electro-pneumatic section with a secondary single circuit, pneumatically-operated section as a redundancy (i.e. backup)
