Abstract
A circuit has a fluid line matrix and brake components connected to the fluid line matrix. Changes in the brake designs or brake functions can be carried out easily in that at least one interface is provided for connecting a distributor block. The interface is designed such that a configuration of the fluid line matrix can be formed by connecting or exchanging the distributor block. There is also described a distributor block which is suitable for forming a configuration of the fluid line matrix of the circuit by connecting to the at least one interface of the circuit.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A circuit, comprising:
- a fluidic line matrix and brake components connected to said fluidic line matrix;
- at least one interface for connecting a distributor block to said fluidic line matrix, said interface being formed to implement a configuration of said fluidic line matrix by connecting or exchanging the distributor block.
In combination with a circuit having a fluidic line matrix, brake components connected to the fluidic line matrix, and at least one interface for connection to the fluidic line matrix, a distributor block for connection to the at least one interface of the circuit, said distributor block being configured to implement a configuration of the fluidic line matrix of the circuit upon connection thereof to the at least one interface.
A brake control assembly, comprising:
- a fluidic line matrix and brake components connected to said fluidic line matrix;
- a distributor block and at least one interface for connecting said distributor block to said fluidic line matrix;
- and
- wherein a configuration of said fluidic line matrix is implemented by said at least one distributor block.
A method for forming a brake control assembly, the method comprising:
- providing a distributor block according to claim 6 and a circuit according to claim 1;
- connecting the distributor block to the at least one interface of the circuit to thereby implement a configuration of the fluidic line matrix of the circuit by way of the distributor block.
