  • Pushbutton for actuating an electropneumatic parking brake (EPH)
    Patent number: 7884494
    Abstract: A pushbutton device for actuating an electropneumatic parking brake (EPH) of a vehicle, which is connected to an evaluating electronic unit via connecting cables. In order to detect switching processes and/or faults, the input resistance of the pushbutton device between the connecting points is evaluated, thus allowing the evaluating electronic unit to reliably detect both the switched position of the pushbutton device and potential fault conditions.

  • Pushbutton for Actuating an Electropneumatic Parking Brake (Eph)
    Publication number: 20090090610
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pushbutton (5), especially for actuating an electropneumatic parking brake (EPH) in road vehicles, which is connected to evaluation electronics (ECU) (6) via connecting cables (1 to 4). In order to detect switching processes and/or faults, the input resistance of the pushbutton (5) between the connecting points (7, 8) or (9, 10) is evaluated, thus allowing the evaluation electronics (ECU) (6) to reliably detect both the switched position of the pushbutton (5) and potential fault conditions.
