The BPW ECO Tronic Control Module, this is basically a remote mounted ‘twin-piston’ 6-port relay valve, with internal pressure transducers so that it knows the airtank, airbag and control line pressures. It also contains an internal accelerometer so that it can measure how hard the vehicle is being driven around a corner. This valve is connected to pole rings and sensors on one or two axles, and has an internal ECU (Computer) that is programmed to give ideal braking performance.

All major benefits are available when connected to an EBS prime mover, and all the major benefits except for electronic brake control signal are available when connected to an ABS prime mover.

Additional features unique to the BPW ECO Tronic trailer EBS systems are:

Ability to use the Trailer Analyser program

Brake Performance Monitoring

The BPW ECO Tronic trailer EBS system is available for either disc brake or drum brake trailers, semi, dog, B-double and B-triple trailers. The system can suit 12V or 24V power supply.

Trailer Monitor Unit – (Optional)The Trailer Monitor Unit is an easy-to-use trailer mounted display that has the ability to read valuable information for the driver. This information includes:

Trailer related information – for example: odometer, trip meter, service intervals.

System information – for example: roll stability events, load in kilograms, air pressure and voltage

The BPW ECO Tronic Trailer Monitor, which is available as an option with BPW ECOTRONIC EBS kits, is a weatherproof unit which mounts to the trailer.

Brake Performance Monitoring gives an on-board indication of the braking effort applied by both the truck and the trailer. This effectively identifies problems such as overly aggressive truck or trailer brakes or overuse of the trailer brake hand piece. This data is available through optional Trailer Analyser software kit.

Features with BPW ECOTRONIC Trailer EBS

Automatically resets the Raise/Lower Valve to the drive position when a signal is received, from the EBS valve (or stop lamps if fitted to a non-EBS trailer).

Easy to use handle to Raise and Lower the suspension as required.

Manual adjustment of trailer chassis height for easier loading and unloading of the trailer.

This system is available as an option on BPW Airbag Suspensions (can also be used with other suspensions).

Soft Docking with BPW ECOTRONICTo help avoid the possibility of damage, BPW has introduced added security with their Soft Docking product, a system that is linked to the BPW ECOTRONIC Trailer EBS which automatically applies the trailer brakes when reversing to help prevent high speed impacts.

The Soft Docking System senses that the vehicle is reversing and, in turn, activates ultrasonic sensors that are fitted to the rear end of the trailer. When the trailer is three metres from the loading dock the system commences an audible warning, and, at the same time, dedicated LED side lights start to flash to provide the driver with a visual warning as well. The system then automatically applies the trailer brakes when it is one metre from the loading dock, stopping the trailer. This automatic braking lasts for two seconds before giving control back to the driver to complete docking.

To view the BPW Soft Docking product in action, go to: bpwtranspec.com.au/products/air-brake-control-system/ and click on video.

Raise Lower with RESET to RIDE (RTR) FunctionAvailable for either EBS equipped vehicle or non-EBS vehicles, the Raise/Lower Valve allows manual adjustment of the chassis height on a stationary trailer. This is done by pushing the handle in and turning it left to Lower the chassis or turning the handle to the right to Raise the chassis. The valve incorporates a ‘dead man function’ so simply release the handle when the vehicle is at the desired height and the valve will maintain that height. Then when the handle is pulled out the suspension returns to the normal ride height position.

In the event the driver does not position the Raise/Lower Valve back to the ride height setting before driving the vehicle, this RTR Raise /Lower Valve can prevent costly damage to the vehicle and the suspension.
