Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a brake control unit and a method for operating a motor vehicle brake using such a brake control unit. A brake control unit comprises at least one printed circuit board having an electronic circuit arrangement. A first set of electrical power supply connections of at least of a first type and second type are associated with a first vehicle electrical system and form a first power supply path. A second set of electrical power supply connections of at least of a first type and second type are associated with a second vehicle electrical system and form a second power supply path. A common output power supply connection is formed from outputs of the polarity reversal protection circuit for each power supply path brought together at a connection node at which a supply voltage can be provided in operation.

Abstract: A brake system includes a dry brake pedal with a pedal sensor for detecting the driver input. The brake system also includes four electrically controllable wheel brake modules, each including an electrically controllable wheel brake. A first axle controller is assigned two wheel brake modules and a second axle controller is assigned two further wheel brake modules. Each of the axle controllers is connected to the brake pedal on a signal input side Each of the axle controllers includes two control units, which each control one wheel brake.

Abstract: A system and method for an electromechanically actuable parking brake for motor vehicles, which is embodied as a drum brake of the “duo-servo” type. The parking brake has a brake actuating device which can be actuated by an electromechanical actuator, is designed as an expander element and acts on two brake shoes, the expander element being supported via a spring energy storage device, may be designed as a diaphragm spring assembly, and being spreadable by a predetermined length of travel, when the parking brake is actuated, to apply an application force. In order to provide a sufficiently large hot parking travel, the length of travel travelled by the expander element to apply the application force when the parking brake is actuated can be moved as a function of at least one motor vehicle state parameter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and an operating method for an electronically controlled braking system having a friction brake, including friction linings for at least one wheel brake and having at least one electronic control device ESP+EPB?ECU. The aim of the invention is to provide an improved seat grinding device and an improved seat grinding process. The aim is achieved by proposing that an automated, electronically controlled or regulated routine is provided for seat grinding the friction partners of the friction brake, such that the automated seat grinding routine is fully executed after a release, particularly after entering a release code or after electronically connecting an interface of the electronic control device ESP+ESC?ECU of the braking system to a separate control device EST, and the results data of the seat grinding routine are stored in a memory area of the electronic control device ESP+ESC?ECU.
