Introduction

The Squarell Trailer ID solution comprises of 2 devices:

A tiny sender connected to the brake light inside the rear lamp cluster of the trailer. The sender has just 2 wires connected to ground and brake signal wire. Pre-crimped connectors install the sender with ease. A small and smart device in the tractor unit. A sense wire is connected to the brake light wire, two wires for power supply and two CAN J1939 wires as output for the Trailer ID signal.

One, two or more trailers?

The Trailer ID solution is FMS J1939 compatible. This makes it easy to connect to all Squarell interfaces, but can also operate in an existing CAN network without any other Squarell solutions. Ask your account manager for more information.

Trailer ID system supports trailer configurations like long vehicles, dolly pull, or road train rigs. Up to 20 (!) trailers can be identified in one road train.

Couple and uncouple

If the trailer is coupled to the tractor, the Trailer ID sender sends its trailer id. At uncouple, the Trailer ID system sends the message that the trailer is disconnected.
