  • Patent number: 7222922
    Abstract: A three-state magnet valve for control of fluid flow from a source of fluid pressure. The three-state magnet valve has an application pilot solenoid electrically connectable to a control module, and an application valve for connecting the source of fluid pressure and to a braking device. The three-state magnet valve further has a release pilot solenoid valve electrically connectable to a control module, and a release valve to exhaust the braking device. The valves are interconnected and controlled so that source pressure can never be passed to exhaust.

  • Publication number: 20040130207
    Abstract: A three-state magnet valve for control of fluid flow engageable with a source of fluid pressure for connecting the three-state magnet valve to a source of fluid pressure. The three-state magnet valve also has an application pilot solenoid valve having a fluid connection to a source of fluid pressure and is electrically connectable to a control module. The three-state magnet valve further has an application solenoid valve having a fluid connection to a source of fluid pressure and to an application pilot solenoid valve and a braking device. The application solenoid valve is also electrically connectable to a control module. The application solenoid valve is able to initiate a braking application upon receipt of a fluid signal from the application pilot solenoid valve and an electrical signal from a control module.
