Abstract
An electronic brake system for a braking system of a utility vehicle having a brake encoder with at least one sensor for detecting positions of a brake pedal that is actuated by the driver of the utility vehicle and at least one valve that is mechanically actuated via the brake pedal, and which, as a result of the mechanical actuation, is moved from a pressure reduction position into at least one pressure-maintaining or pressure increase position, in which the valve admits at least one fluid flow for the actuation of at least one operating brake of the braking system, wherein the valve is assigned at least one control element that is different from the brake pedal, by which the valve is moved.
Claims18
An electronic brake system for a braking system of a utility vehicle, the system comprising:
- a braking value encoder that includes at least one sensor for detecting positions of a brake pedal that is operable by a driver of the utility vehicle and at least one valve that is mechanically actuated by the brake pedal, which as a result of the mechanical actuation is moved from a pressure reduction position to at least one pressure maintenance position or pressure build-up position, in which the valve passes at least one fluid flow for actuating at least one service brake of the braking system;
- and
- at least one final control element that is different from the brake pedal and by which the valve is moved is associated with the valve.
