Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A method for braking a train set, the method comprising:
providing a guiding locomotive, at least one guided locomotive and a time multiplex train bus system interconnecting the guiding locomotive and the at least one guided locomotive;
detecting an actual electrical operating current of the guided locomotive;
detecting an actual electrical operating current of the guiding locomotive;
detecting a maximum return current value as a current to be maximally fed back;
detecting a pneumatic braking request value of a compressed air brake line;
determining a maximum electrical return current and an electrical target braking value of the guided locomotive from the actual electrical operating current of the guided locomotive, the actual electrical operating current of the guiding locomotive, the maximum return current value and the pneumatic braking request value of the compressed air brake line;
transmitting the electrical target braking value through the time multiplex train bus system to the guided locomotive; and
electrically braking the train set by using the electrical target braking value to prevent a maximum overcurrent of the guided locomotive to be fed back from being exceeded.
