  • Publication number: 20230294622
    Abstract: A device for power supply for a vehicle, including: a first battery; a second battery; a fault-detecting apparatus for detecting a faulty state of the batteries; and a switching apparatus having four battery interfaces and a load interface for connecting at least one electrical load to the device. The first battery interface is connected to a first terminal of the first battery, the second battery interface is connected to a second terminal of the first battery, the third battery interface is connected to a first terminal of the second battery, and the fourth battery interface is connected to a second terminal of the second battery. In a normal state, the switching apparatus connects the second battery interface to the third interface, and in an emergency state, the switching apparatus disconnects the second battery interface from the third interface and connects the second or fourth battery interface to the load interface.

  • Publication number: 20230132284
    Abstract: A valve-device (VD) for a vehicle-braking-system (VBS), and a VBS. A VD for a VBS, having first/second control-units (CU), which are electrically connectable to the VD, which includes a valve-unit (VU) with an actuator for actuating the VU, a valve housing (VH) for the VU, and an error protection module (EPM) outside the VH. The EPM includes first/second supply-ports (SP) for electrical attachment to the first/second CUs, first/second main-ports (MP) for electrical attachment to the first/second CUs, a first connection port (CP) electrically connected to the first/second SPs, for electrical connection to the actuator, a second CP electrically connected to the first/second MPs, for electrical connection to the actuator, first and second electric protective circuits (EPC). The first EPC is electrically connected between the first/second SPs, and the first CP. The second EPC is electrically connected between the second CP and the first/second MPs.

  • Publication number: 20230128573
    Abstract: A valve device or a vehicle system, the system including first and second control units which are electrically connectable or connected to the valve device, which includes a valve unit with at least one actuator for actuating the valve unit, first/second supply ports for the electrical connection of the actuator to the first/second control units, first/second main ports for the electrical connection of the actuator to the first/second control units, first/second electric protective circuits, and a valve housing for accommodating the valve unit and the protective circuits. The first protective circuit is electrically connected between the first/second supply ports, and the actuator. The second protective circuit is electrically connected between the actuator and the first/second main ports. Each protective circuit includes an electrical fuse device and a diode element that are integrated in series in at least the first/second supply ports or at least the first/second main ports.
