Abstract
The invention relates to an electropneumatic brake system (1) for a commercial vehicle. The brake system (1) comprises brake control modules (8) by which it is possible to generate a brake pressure for service brake cylinders (6) which can be associated with single vehicle wheels or vehicle wheels of a vehicle axle. According to the invention there is a redundant compressed air supply of the brake control modules (8) by connecting the brake control modules (8) both to a compressed air reservoir (41, 42) as well as to a backup compressed air reservoir (43).
Claims9
Electropneumatic brake system for a commercial vehicle comprising:
- a) a first brake control module which is configured for controlling a first brake pressure for a first service brake cylinder of a first vehicle wheel or for first service brake cylinders of at least one first vehicle axle,
- b) a second brake control module which is configured for controlling a second brake pressure for a second service brake cylinder of a second vehicle wheel or for second service brake cylinders of at least one second vehicle axle,
- c) the first brake control module being connected both to a first compressed air reservoir as well as to a backup compressed air reservoir for a supply of compressed air and
- d) the second brake control module also being connected to the backup compressed air reservoir,
- e) wherein the first brake control module and the second brake control module each comprise a first inlet port and a second inlet port,
- f) the first inlet port and the second inlet port being connected to a common inlet line of the first brake control module respectively the second brake control module,
- g) one first inlet port being connected to the first compressed air reservoir and the other first inlet port being connected to a second compressed air reservoir and
- h) the second inlet ports being connected to the backup compressed air reservoir.
