Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically slip-controllable power braking system and a braking system. This power braking system has a brake circuit and a pressure generator including a plunger piston for applying a circuit pressure to the brake circuit. The plunger piston delimits a pressure chamber of the pressure generator and is drivable by an activatable drive unit into a forward or reverse movement. During its forward movement, pressure medium is displaced by the plunger piston out of the pressure chamber into the brake circuit, while during the reverse movement, pressure medium flows out of a reservoir of the power braking system via a flow path into the pressure chamber of the pressure generator. The speed of the reverse movement of the plunger piston is adapted by the electronic control unit so that cavitation at the pressure generator of the power braking system, is avoided or at least minimized.

Abstract: A method for determining a start time for a recharging procedure for a plunger device of an electronically slip-controllable power brake system, and an electronically slip-controllable power brake system having a plunger device. Plunger devices have a plunger cylinder, a plunger piston, and a plunger working space and are operable by a drive motor. A recharging procedure of the plunger device is required from time to time. The start time for a recharging procedure of the plunger device is ascertained as a function of characteristic values that describe the driving state of a vehicle equipped with the power brake system, and/or the operating state of the plunger device when an actual position of the plunger piston lies within a specifiable working range of the plunger device.

Abstract: A method for operating a brake system. A brake request signal is generated, and a setpoint brake pressure required in an active circuit is ascertained. An actual brake pressure is set according to the setpoint brake pressure. A wheel brake actuated by the active circuit is hydraulically decoupled from the pressure generation device by closing an isolation valve, which is situated between the pressure generation device and the wheel brake, the isolation valve is preloaded to a closed state counter to an inflow direction of a volume flow into a brake-side section between the isolation valve and the wheel brake. A hydraulic recoupling of the wheel brake takes place by opening the isolation valve in that the actual brake pressure is set according to the setpoint brake pressure and an opening force is simultaneously applied to the isolation valve such that a compensation of a closing force takes place.

Abstract: A method for operating a brake system of a vehicle in a maintenance mode and in a normal mode includes providing a brake pressure in the brake system in the normal mode using a brake pressure generator. The method further includes preventing a provision of a brake pressure by the brake pressure generator in the maintenance mode.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically slip-controllable power braking system of a motor vehicle. Power braking systems are equipped with a plunger unit, which includes a plunger piston accommodated in a plunger cylinder and delimiting a working chamber, for generating brake pressure in brake circuits. This plunger piston is actuatable by an electronically activatable drive in a pressure buildup direction or in the opposing spatial direction thereto in a pressure reducing direction. A time-limited drive of the plunger piston takes place in the pressure reducing direction as soon as an actual brake pressure generated by the plunger unit has reached a predefinable setpoint brake pressure and a decoupling of a wheel brake and the plunger unit from an associated brake circuit has taken place.
