A trailer control valve having control pistons for actuating a double seat valve, which can control the communication between a compressed air reservoir, a compressed air consumer, and a pressure relief location. In order to structurally simplify the trailer control valve, a control piston is provided that is jointly associated with an electrical control circuit and a pneumatic control circuit of a service brake system. Furthermore, a valve is provided that is connected to the pneumatic control circuit of the service brake system, which closes the pneumatic control circuit of the service brake off from to the trailer control valve when the electrical control circuit is functional, and in the event of a failure of the electrical control circuit, unblocks the pneumatic control circuit of the service brake system.
A trailer control module (13) for introducing a control pressure into brake lines of a trailer comprising an electrically and a pneumatically controllable trailer control valve (14), said control valve is controlled by means of an electrical control circuit (25) and a pneumatic control circuit (26) of a service brake system (11) as well as of a pneumatic control circuit (37) of an auxiliary brake system (12), the pneumatic control circuit (26) is fed from a first compressed air reservoir (19) that is a part of the service brake system (11), and is able to control the trailer control valve (14) in place of the electrical control circuit (25), said trailer control module has control pistons for actuating a double seat valve (91) which controls a communication between a second compressed air reservoir (36), a compressed air consumer, and a pressure relief location (3),
