The invention is directed to an electrically/electronically controllable
braking system including: a brake actuating device 6, at least two brake
circuits (2, 4) and two processors (8a, 8b; 10a, 10b) for each brake
circuit (2, 4) for driving the actuators (12a to 12d) and for the control
of further functions such as slip control functions. The processors (8a,
8b) of the rear brake control are joined in a rear brake control apparatus
16 and the processors (10a, 10b) of the front wheel brake control are
joined in a front brake control apparatus 18. The allocations of the
functions of the electric control apparatus for both brake circuits are
optimized especially while considering reliability. The brake actuating
device 6 outputs its actuating function via signal lines 7 to all
processors (8a, 8b; 10a, 10b). In order to do with a minimal number of
processors, the processors (8a, 8b) of the rear axis circuit 4 assume
additional functions (14a, 14b) of the overall vehicle control, such as
ABS reference speed formation, driving dynamic control, et cetera.
Preferably, the highly-integrated processors (8a, 8b) at the rear axis are
operatively connected to each other via line 20 for the purpose of mutual
control and switchoff in the event of a fault.
