The newest generation of diagnostic software from Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC (Bendix) integrates support of its leading-edge Bendix® GSBC® (Global Scalable Brake Control) and GSAT® (Global Scalable Air Treatment) technologies.

“The software, Bendix® ACom® AE, is supported by Cojali and modeled on its Jaltest® diagnostic software, delivering an updated look and feel while building on ACom’s two-decade legacy of providing technicians with detailed information and helping to minimize downtime,” according to a press release.

“With Bendix GSBC and GSAT now available on North American vehicles, it’s crucial to equip maintenance teams with the proper tools to keep equipment operating safely,” TJ Thomas, Bendix director of marketing and customer solutions – Controls, said. “As newer electronic control units (ECUs) have been incorporated into Bendix systems over the years, ACom has evolved to support them, and this is the next step in that development.”

Bendix — a North American developer and manufacturer of active safety, air management, and braking solutions for commercial vehicles — launched the original Bendix® ACom® diagnostic software in 2004.

“The tool was downloaded more than 100,000 times before being succeeded by Bendix® ACom® PRO in 2019. ACom PRO diagnostic software is no longer available for purchase as of Sept. 1, 2024, and support for ACom® PRO will end Aug. 31, 2025, or when the user’s current license expires,” according to the release. “ACom PRO users can check their license expiration date within the platform’s Application Settings > Registration menu.

“GSBC® is Bendix’s electronic braking system (EBS) technology. EBS, sometimes called ‘brake-by-wire’ or electropneumatic braking system technology, uses electronic signals to control brake applications — as opposed to current antilock braking systems, where that control signal is pneumatic. GSAT®, meanwhile, is a modular control system for compressed air-operated braking systems. It’s built to address evolving functionalities and regional environmental regulations while providing manufacturers with a high level of flexibility during installation.”
