Claim 0:
1. A control device for controlling at least one actuator for actuating braking of a rail vehicle, wherein:
proceeding from an actual value of a current brake pressure or a current contact force, measured by a first sensor, of the at least one actuator for pressing against a braking means, a contact variable control system determines a manipulated variable for the at least one actuator in accordance with a stipulated brake pressure or contact force setpoint value,
proceeding from an actual value of a current deceleration force or a current deceleration torque for braking measured by a second sensor, a braking torque control system determines a manipulated variable for the at least one actuator in accordance with a stipulated deceleration force or deceleration torque setpoint value,
a cascaded control system is provided for contact variable control and braking torque control, in which the contact variable control system is arranged in a contact variable control unit and forms an inner control circuit, and the braking torque control system is arranged in a braking torque control unit embodied thereby and forms an outer control circuit, the outer control circuit carries out control of the at least one actuator in a manner which is prioritized over the inner control circuit, and the outer control circuit is configured to be switched off under predefined operating conditions of the vehicle, with the result that the inner control circuit controls the at least one actuator.
