Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A monitoring device for, and a method for examining a functional capability of, at least one subunit of a hydraulic braking system includes: ascertaining at least one pressure variable of a pressure prevailing in the hydraulic braking system, and comparing the ascertained pressure variable to a predefined comparative value range, at least if the ascertained pressure variable deviates from the predefined comparative value range, a pressure change variable with respect to a time change of the pressure variable being ascertained and the ascertained pressure change variable being compared to a predefined minimum change variable, and the functional capability being established in consideration of the comparison of the pressure variable to the predefined comparative value range, and, at least if the ascertained pressure variable deviates from the predefined comparative value range, in consideration of the comparison of the pressure change variable to the predefined minimum change variable.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A monitoring device for at least one subunit of a hydraulic braking system, comprising: an analysis unit comparing at least one pressure variable, which is provided by a sensor, of a pressure prevailing in the hydraulic braking system to a predefined comparative value range having at least one comparative value; wherein the analysis unit additionally compares a pressure change variable, which is provided by a computer unit, with respect to a time cha…
