Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An actuator for a brake system of a rail vehicle has a set-value detection unit that outputs a set value or a set value corrected by a reducing signal of an anti-skid control device for a decelerating force or a decelerating torque to a set-value control device. The latter controls the set value to a first output set value. A switch-over device connects an output of the set-value control device to a input of a set-value/force conversion device in a first switching position. In a second switching position, the set-value/force conversion device receives the signal from a fall-back unit. Braking devices convert an actual value of the force into an actual value of the decelerating force or decelerating torque. When impermissible deviations from a fast braking set value in a fast-braking operation are found, the switch-over device switches from the first to the second switching position.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An actuator for a brake system of a rail vehicle, the actuator comprising: a set value detection unit and a set value control device; said set value detection unit having an output carrying a set value or a set value adjusted under an influence of a reducing signal of an anti-skid protection control device for a decelerating force to be controlled or a decelerating torque to be controlled, said set value detection unit transmitting the set value to a…
