8-Channel Anti-Lock Brake Control

Description
The MICO 8-channel ABS ECU enhances the effectiveness of a traditional full power hydraulic brake system by
providing added vehicle safety for multi-wheeled vehicles operated both on and off-highway. ABS can improve
vehicle control during braking and reduce stopping distance on slippery (split or low coefficient of friction) road
surfaces by limiting wheel slip and minimizing lockup. Reducing wheel slip improves vehicle stability and control
during braking. The ABS ECU interfaces with 8-speed sensors to monitor wheel speed, pressure transducers
for diagnostics, and 8 electrohydraulic ABS valves to proportionally control brake pressure. The brake control
system along with the physical braking system can help vehicle manufacturers meet ECE 324 R13 and European
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and are designed to help achieve SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level 2 according to IEC
61508) and PL-d (Performance Level d per ISO 13849-1) standards.
This system is designed to handle 8-channel ABS control. ABS ECUs for 2, 4 and 6-channels of hydraulic ABS
(HABS) control are also available from MICO. In addition to these basic components, other inputs and outputs can
be added to the system. For example: ABS and brake warning indicator lamps can be added to the outputs of the
ECU. The MICO 8-channel ABS ECU is fully compatible to the SAE J1939 CAN communication standard (sub
standards: 11, 21, 71, and 73).
