Abstract

Abstract A circuit configuration for a slip-controlled vehicle brake system is equipped with sensors (10-13) for the determination of the rotational behavior of the front and the rear wheels and with electronic circuits (18, 30) for the processing, logic combining and monitoring of the sensor signals and for the generation of control signals. The control signals allow control of the braking pressure variation at the wheels. Upon failure or malfunction of a sensor (10-13) or in the event of an interference in the signal path, the brake slip control is switched over to being responsive to the rotational behavior of another wheel according to a predetermined selection criterion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 192 words
A circuit configuration for a slip-controlled vehicle brake system which is equipped with sensors for the determination of the rotational behavior of the front and the rear wheels, with electronic circuits for the processing, logic combining and monitoring of the sensor signals and for the generation of control signals, which control signals allow control the braking pressure variation individually at the wheels according to the predetermined selection criteria, wherein upon interference of the sensor signals of at least one of the wheels (VR, VL, HR, HL), the braking pressure control of this wheel is switched over the being response to the rotational behavior of another wheel according to a predetermined selection criterion, wherein upon interference of the sensor signals of a front wheel (VR or VL), the braking pressure control of this wheel is switched over to being responsive to the rotational behavior of the second front wheel (VR or VL), while upon interference of the sensor signal of a rear wheel (HR, HL) the braking pressure control of this wheel can be switched over to being responsive to the rotational behavior of the front wheel (VR, VL) on the same side.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 192 words
A circuit configuration for a slip-controlled vehicle brake system which is equipped with sensors for the determination of the rotational behavior of the front and the rear wheels, with electronic circuits for the processing, logic combining and monitoring of the sensor signals and for the generation of control signals, which control signals allow control the braking pressure variation individually at the wheels according to the predetermined selection criteria, wherein upon interference of the sensor signals of at least one of the wheels (VR, VL, HR, HL), the braking pressure control of this wheel is switched over the being response to the rotational behavior of another wheel according to a predetermined selection criterion, wherein upon interference of the sensor signals of a front wheel (VR or VL), the braking pressure control of this wheel is switched over to being responsive to the rotational behavior of the second front wheel (VR or VL), while upon interference of the sensor signal of a rear wheel (HR, HL) the braking pressure control of this wheel can be switched over to being responsive to the rotational behavior of the front wheel (VR, VL) on the same side.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
A circuit configuration as claimed in claim 1, wherein the switching-over is limited to the duration of the signal interference.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
A circuit configuration as claimed in claim 1, wherein the switching-over is independent of the duration of the signal interference and is maintained until completion of the braking action.
