• Establishing Connection
Enabling Enhanced PLC Mode
ABS controllers that are equipped with
Enhanced PLC Mode
can send diag-
nostic information over the tractor/trailer power lines. This feature makes it
possible to:
• access
all
ECUs residing on the power line via a single diagnostic con-
nection. For example, if the Tractor and Trailer are connected, attach
Brake-Link™ to the Tractor Deutsch to access both Tractor and Trailer
ABS ECUs.
• access a Trailer ABS ECU when a Deutsch Connector isn’t available. It
also makes Trailer ECU access more convenient, as you only need one
adapter (J560 PLC Cable Set) to supply power and communicate with
the ECU.

EC-30 and EC-30T controllers may require configuration to enable
Enhanced PLC Mode. The rest of this section details enabling Enhanced
Mode.
To enable Enhanced PLC Mode:
1 Connect Brake-Link™ to the Tractor or Trailer Deutsch Connector (see
“Connecting Brake-Link™ Components”, on page 16).
Note:
Some ECUs support Enhanced Mode configuration over the
PLC. In other words, if the trailer is attached to the tractor, you
may
be able to configure both ECUs through a single connection to the
tractor Deutsch. If you receive an ECU NOT RESPONDING mes-
sage, connect Brake-Link™ to the trailer Deutsch and try again.
2 Turn the tractor key “on”. Brake-Link™ boots up and presents the

screen.
