Abstract
A method for furnishing a sensor signal in a braking system, in which in the event of a failure of the brake control unit signal transfer is switched over and the signal is transmitted to a further control unit.
Claims18
A method for providing a sensor signal in a braking system in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- ascertaining, via a sensor, at least one braking-relevant sensor signal;
- and
- performing, via a switchover unit, if there is a faulty transmission of the sensor signal to a brake control unit, or if there is a failure of the brake control unit, a switching over of the signal transmission, and transmitting the sensor signals to a further control unit, wherein the further control unit controls a brake booster that implements a braking function of each of a plurality of braking circuits of the braking system when the sensor signals are transmitted to the further control unit,
- wherein the switchover unit includes at least two switches, wherein one of the at least two switches enables transmission of the sensor signals to the brake control unit in a first switching state and enables transmission of the sensor signals to the further control unit in a second switching state different from the first switching state.

A braking system for a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one sensor for ascertaining a braking-relevant sensor signal;
- a brake control unit;
- and
- a switchover unit for switching over and forwarding the sensor signal to a further control unit if there is a fault in the brake control unit or if there is a faulty transmission of the sensor signal to the brake control unit, wherein the further control unit controls a brake booster that implements a braking function of each of a plurality of braking circuits of the braking system when the sensor signal is forwarded to the further control unit,
- wherein the switchover unit includes at least two switches, wherein one of the at least two switches enables transmission of the sensor signals to the brake control unit in a first switching state and enables transmission of the sensor signals to the further control unit in a second switching state different from the first switching state.
