Brake system for railway vehicles
First Claim
1. A brake system for a railway vehicle having at least two bogies comprising:
- a main air reservoir line fed by a compressed-air generating device;
a compressed-air line connecting the main air reservoir line to pneumatic brake units and auxiliary pneumatic units on each bogie;
a central control unit controlling the pneumatic brake units and the auxiliary units by local electronic brake control units, which are mutually connected by a common braking data bus; and
the local electronic brake control units being in the bogie or on a car body in the area of the bogie.

Abstract
The invention relates to a brake system for a railway vehicle. Said brake system comprises a main air reservoir line which is fed by an air compressor unit. Every bogie truck is provided with at least one compressed-air line which is connected to the main air reservoir line either directly or via a stop valve, a non-return valve and a compressed-air reservoir. The compressed-air line feeds, for example, the service brake valves for impinging the brakes of the bogie truck or a control unit for the spring-loaded brake and/or other control units for other auxiliary components. The service brake valves and/or the spring-loaded brake and/or other auxiliary components are controlled via at least one local, electronic brake control unit.
