Abstract:
1. An electromechanical brake system for vehicles with a failsafe energy distribution, the system comprising: a first to fourth brake module associated respectively with a wheel of the vehicle; each brake module comprising at least one control device and a brake actuator unit; a main energy supply unit supplying electrical energy to the brake modules; the control device and the brake actuator unit of a brake module being connected respectively by way of separately fed energy supply lines to the main energy supply unit; a first voter unit and a second voter unit controlling the distribution of electrical energy to the respective control devices and the respective brake actuator units; a first emergency energy supply unit separate from the main energy supply unit connected to the control device and to the brake actuator unit of the first and fourth brake module; a second emergency energy supply separate from the main energy supply unit and the first emergency energy supply unit connected to the control device and to the brake actuator unit of the second and third brake module by way of respectively additional separately fed energy supply lines; and first to eighth switching means switching through the energy supply lines and additional first to eighth switching means switching through the additional energy supply lines, it being possible to switch these separately from one another; wherein the first voter unit controls the first to eighth switching means and the second voter unit controls the additional first to eighth switching means.
