Normal braking, pressure build-up

Each brake application begins when the driver presses the brake pedal.

The ESP control unit (N47-5) computes the brake pressure. The specified data is passed on to the SBC control unit (A7/3n1) and this starts with the control in the traction system hydraulic unit (A7/3).

At the beginning of the brake application, the left and right front separation valves A7/3y1A7/3y2 are closed. They remain closed only during the control phase (except for during temperature compensation or activation via the brake pedal) and are otherwise open (de-energized).

The left front outlet control valve (A7/3y7), right front outlet control valve (A7/3y9), left rear outlet control valve (A7/3y11) and right rear outlet control valve (A7/3y13) are likewise closed. The left front inlet control valve (A7/3y6), right front inlet control valve (A7/3y8), left rear inlet control valve (A7/3y10) and right rear inlet control valve (A7/3y12) are open.

The front axle balance valve (A7/3y3) and rear axle balance valve (A7/3y4) remain open.

The pressure from the pressure reservoir (3) can now be built up at the left front brake caliper (5b) and right front brake caliper (5a) of the front axle via the left front dividing piston (7) and right front dividing piston (8). The pressure is increased directly at the rear axle.

Normal braking hold pressure

The control procedure described in the example and the corresponding valve positions relate to the complete brake system. They can, however, be used individually at each wheel.

Function

As soon as the computed brake pressure is reached, the left front inlet control valve (A7/3y6), right front inlet control valve (A7/3y8), left rear inlet control valve (A7/3y10) and right rear inlet control valve close A7/3y12).

The left front outlet control valve (A7/3y7), right front outlet control valve (A7/3y9), left rear outlet control valve (A7/3y11) and right rear outlet control valve (A7/3y13) remain closed.

The front axle balance valve (A7/3y3) and rear axle balance valve (A7/3y4) remain open.

Normal braking, pressure reduction

The control procedure described in the example and the corresponding valve positions relate to the complete brake system. They can, however, be used individually at each wheel.

If the brake pressure required for braking is too high, the pressure-reduction phase of the control mode begins.

Function

The left front outlet control valve (A7/3y7), right front outlet control valve (A7/3y9), left rear outlet control valve (A7/3y11) and right rear control valve (A7/3y13) are opened.

The left front inlet control valve (A7/3y6), right front inlet control valve (A7/3y8), left rear (A7/3y10)inlet control valve and right rear inlet control valve (A7/3y12) remain closed.

The front axle balance valve (A7/3y3) and rear axle balance valve (A7/3y4) remain open.

The brake fluid flowing back flows back to the expansion reservoir via the return line (R).
