Abstract
A method of initializing a brake-by-wire system is provided. The method includes connecting multiple braking actuators to a controller to allow for communication between the braking actuators and the controller. The braking actuators are associated with one or more wheels of a vehicle. Subsequent to connecting the multiple braking actuators to a controller, the method includes dynamically assigning a primary identifier to the braking actuators using the controller.
Claims20
A method of initializing a brake-by-wire system, the method comprising:
- connecting multiple braking actuators to a controller to allow for communication between the braking actuators and the controller, the braking actuators being associated with one or more wheels of a vehicle;
- then
- dynamically assigning a primary identifier to the braking actuators using the controller.
A brake-by-wire system for a vehicle including wheels and one or more braking actuators associated with one or more of the wheels, the brake-by-wire system comprising:
- a first braking actuator;
- a second braking actuator;
- a power source connected to the first and second braking actuators;
- and
- a controller connected to the power source, the controller configured to selectively identify the first and second braking actuators using the power source and assign a primary identifier to each of the first and second braking actuators for use in selectively controlling the first and second braking actuators.
