MBS-2 Installation
The Wabash National Modular Brake System –2 (MBS-2) is Wabash’s second
generation Trailer Antilock Brake System. All MBS-2 controllers incorporate
the new PLC (power line carrier) data link that permits tractor to trailer
communications. In addition MBS-2 systems incorporate the new Wabash
active wheel speed sensor based on Hall Effect technology. The use of this
new sensor adds several new advantages:
•Mounting the sensor inside the hubcap provides a protected environment
as well as a fixed location for the sensor and magnet. This reduces fleet
maintenance by avoiding excessive gap issues associated with the
traditional VR sensor.
• Ability to detect when the trailer is moving in reverse. The ECM reads the
reverse signal and provides output drives that can be used to light a back
up light or to raise a self steering lift axle.
• Ability to read temperature at the wheel ends. If excessive wheel-end
temperature is detected, the ECM lights a warning lamp and also
transmits a warning signal over the PLC bus.
