Abstract:
An electrically controlled braking system for a wheeled vehicle, comprising input means (33) which can be actuated by a driver of the vehicle in accordance with a desired braking effect, two electronic control units (25, 26), which operate independently of each other and each of which is suppliable with an electrical signal corresponding to extent of actuation of the input means (33), which is recordable by a sensor (35, 36), a brake cylinder (12) associated with a wheel of the vehicle, and a braking pressure modulator valve (13) which is fluid-connected to the brake cylinder (12) and has a first electric actuating element (18, 19), which can be activated by a first of the two control units (25, 26), and wherein, the braking pressure modulator valve (13) has a second electric actuating element (19, 18) which acts in the same direction, when activated, as the first electric actuating element (18, 19), and the second electric actuating element (19, 18) can be activated by the second electronic control unit (26, 25) at the same time as the first electric actuating element (18, 19) is being activated by the first electronic control unit (25, 26).
