  • Publication number: 20200070795
    Abstract: An electronically controllable brake system for a vehicle includes at least one service brake circuit with service brakes and a service brake control module, wherein a service-brake brake pressure can be fed to the service brakes, and the service-brake control module is designed to generate a service-brake control signal as a function of a braking specification. The service-brake brake pressure can be generated as a function of the service-brake control signal and specified to the service brakes, for the implementation of the braking specification via the at least one service brake circuit, under electrical control by the service-brake control module. The electronically controllable brake system further includes a parking brake circuit with spring-loaded brakes, wherein a parking-brake brake pressure can be fed to the spring-loaded brakes, wherein the parking-brake brake pressure can be generated as a function of the braking specification and specified to the spring-loaded brakes.

  • Publication number: 20200047730
    Abstract: An electropneumatic trailer control module (1) for an electronically controllable pneumatic brake system (520) for a vehicle combination (500) with a tractor vehicle (502) and a trailer vehicle (504), has an electronic control unit (ECU), a pneumatic reservoir input (11), a trailer control valve unit (65) with electropneumatic valves (RV, IV, OV), a trailer brake pressure port (22), and a trailer supply pressure port (21). The electronic control unit (ECU) has a parking brake signal input (200) for receiving an electronic brake representation signal (SB1, SB2, SB3) for an immobilizing brake (6, 532a, 532b) of the tractor vehicle (502) and is configured to, on the basis of the brake representation signal (SB1, SB2, SB3), switch at least one of the one or more electropneumatic valves (RV, IV, OV) of the trailer control valve unit (65) in order to output a brake pressure.

A service-brake brake pressure can be fed to the service brakes, and the service-brake control module is configured to generate a service-brake control signal as a function of a braking specification. The service-brake brake pressure can be generated as a function of the service-brake control signal and specified to the service brakes, for the implementation of the braking specification via the at least one service brake circuit, under electrical control. The brake system further includes a trailer control valve with a trailer control module. The trailer control module is configured to receive and process an electronically communicated braking specification and the trailer control valve is configured to generate and output, under the control of the trailer control module, a redundancy control pressure.

  • Publication number: 20190308599
    Abstract: An electropneumatic parking brake system for a utility vehicle includes a precontrol module configured to control at least a first control pressure. The precontrol module has a precontrol store connection configured to receive a store pressure from a compressed air device and at least one precontrol valve combination. The electropneumatic parking brake system further includes at least one manually actuatable sliding valve connected to a valve store connection and having a parking brake connection. The parking brake connection is ventilated in a first switching position of the sliding valve and a parking brake pressure at the parking brake connection is controllable in a second switching position of the sliding valve. The sliding valve has a first pneumatic control connection at which the first control pressure is configured to be controlled in order to pneumatically switch the sliding valve.
