Abstract: A brake system has a first emergency brake control valve, a first emergency brake flow path, which is operatively connected to at least one first compressed-air brake cylinder, an emergency line, and a first switch-over valve, the pneumatic control connection of which is connected to the emergency line. The emergency line is kept at zero pressure during a service operation of the brake system, and pressurized during an emergency operation such that during the service operation, the first switch-over valve is kept in a first position, and during an emergency operation, the first switch-over valve means is kept in a second position. The first position of the first switch-over valve opens the first emergency brake flow path and blocks a first emergency flow path to compressed air controlled by an emergency control valve. The second position blocks the first emergency brake flow path and clears the first emergency flow path.

Abstract: A brake arrangement of a railway vehicle includes an electrical brake device having an electronic brake controller and having an electro-pneumatic regulator with a pressure sensor. An emergency brake device has a pressure reducer in series with a valve device. A shuttle valve device is also present at a pneumatic output of the electrical pneumatic braking device and a pneumatic output of the emergency brake system and is connected at the inputs thereof. The output of the valve device is connected to a control valve device connected upstream of a brake cylinder. The brake arrangement can be a direct braking arrangement and can be converted in a simple manner to an indirect braking arrangement. The valve device is an electromagnetic emergency stop valve working according to the principle of de-energizing to close, and the pressure sensor of the electro-pneumatic regulator is connected to the output of the shuttle valve device.
