The TRCM is the control module used with the Telma system. It has features such as PC interface for diagnostics and configuration. The TRCM has the ability to obtain speed signal, throttle position, ABS, and other information by listening to the vehicle CAN bus which can reduce Telma system installation time by eliminating the need to make multiple hard-wired connections to the vehicle. In addition, the TRCM is capable of receiving analog or digital inputs. Four digital (on/off) inputs are available that can be used with air brake system pressure switches or the Telma hand control switch. Also available is an analog (variable voltage) input for use with a pressure transducer installed in the air brake system instead of pressure switches or a rotary foot switch used for some hydraulic brake vehicles.

TRCM2 is the latest control module design. It has the same features as TRCM1 such as PC interface for diagnostics and configuration as well as connection to the vehicle CANBus to obtain speed, ABS, and other information. It also has the following new features.

• Direct USB connection to PC using virtual COM port and auto connect with USB-C connector on the board and no need for USB-to-serial adapter.
• Capability to control not only a mechanical relay box as before but now also a fully electronic power module using dedicated CAN line and custom CAN messages.
• Bluetooth connection for configuration and diagnostics using an app for Android devices.

The Telma Desktop Client Software is needed for configuration and diagnostics and is a free download from our website.
