By CCJ Staff
Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems on Friday, Nov. 6, announced the availability of Toolbox 9.0, its latest PC-based diagnostics software for its pneumatic and hydraulic anti-lock braking systems, electronic leveling modules and electronically-controlled air suspensions.
New features in Toolbox 9.0, according to the company, include:
Support for RSSPlus, Meritor WABCO’s trailer-based stability system;
Support for the “E” version of Hydraulic ABS (HABS);
Support for tractor ABS “E” version 4.3 and Hydraulic Power Brake (HPB) releases 1 and 2; and
Compatibility with Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
“As our vehicle systems become more sophisticated, it’s imperative that diagnostic tools are more intuitive and easier to use,” says Alan Korn, director of vehicle dynamics and controls for Meritor WABCO, based in Troy, Mich. “Technicians will like working with Toolbox 9.0. It’s designed to help them be more efficient and productive and minimize vehicle downtime.”
Meritor WABCO says Toolbox 9.0 supports its complete range of vehicle control products, including:
Pneumatic ABS (D and E Versions);
Trailer ABS (Easy-Stop and Enhanced Easy-Stop with PLC);
SmartTrac Stability Control (ESC and RSC) and RSSPlus;
Hydraulic ABS;
Hydraulic Power Brake (HPB);
Electronic leveling valves for tractors and trailers; and
Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) for buses.
Toolbox displays both active and stored system faults as well as the corresponding repair instructions, the company says; it can display both constant and dynamic information from the braking system under test, and activate components to verify system integrity, correct component operation and installation wiring.
Meritor WABCO Toolbox 9.0 requires Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7; a minimum of 512MB RAM; 60MB HD space for full installation; a 64- or 32-bit processor; an RP1210A-compliant communications adapter for SAE J1708/J1587 or PLC; and a serial, parallel or USB port for an RP1210A adapter. Toolbox is distributed by SPX Service Solutions. For order information, call 800-328-6657. Technical support is available through Meritor WABCO’s OnTrac customer service team at 800-535-5560. |
