| Brake-by-Wire System with ABS and Traction Control (See Figure 5) When designers want to remove the modulating valve from the cab, brake-by-wire systems should be considered. ABS and traction control can be added in a similar manner as shown in the previous examples. However, in this system design the electrohydraulic modulating brake valve is used to control the brake system at all times. Each key component in the system has redundancy to assure reliability. Features of this type of system include: • Provides primary and secondary braking to meet industry standards • ABS and traction control for improved control • Programmable pressure vs. pedal angle functions • Ability to easily add additional remote operator stations • Automated braking can be programmed to occur based on inputs from other sensors or control systems ^ Operator warning signal and vehicle stop light control • Fault diagnostics for easy troubleshooting |
