Abstract
The invention relates to an electronically regulated brake system comprising a central control device (Z1; Z2) and at least one pressure control valve (A). According to the invention, the electronically regulated brake system additionally includes at least one pressure regulating valve (B) and/or at least one pressure regulating module (C).
Claims12
An electronically controlled braking system comprising:
- pressure control valves, each featuring an electromagnetically switched intake and exhaust valve, being arranged close to one of the wheels of the vehicle, adapted to receive brake pressure, adapted to transmit the brake pressure in unaltered form to a wheel brake of the one of the wheels when not triggered, and adapted to be activated for wheel slippage-dependent control of the brake pressure in which the intake and exhaust valve is switched to modulate the brake pressure,
- at least one pressure regulation device having a pressure sensor and control electronics, which adjust said brake pressure based on an electronic brake pressure reference value and an actual brake pressure value measured by the pressure sensor, and
- a central control device which communicates with each pressure regulation device or directly with anti-lock braking system valves,
- wherein the control electronics of the central control device have a wheel slippage-dependent control integrated therein.
