Abstract
Control unit for motor vehicle brakes composed of conventional function groups with an electronic brake controller and a hydraulic unit that is in particular rigidly connected to the controller, with the electronic controller comprising a redundant or partly redundant microprocessor system with several central processing units (CPU), and with the conventional function groups including a control philosophy at least for anti-lock control. Furthermore, the control unit comprises non-conventional hardware and software function groups of an otherwise external motor vehicle passenger protection safety system, which in particular does not intervene directly into driving dynamics, hence, is passive. These groups are integrated into the ambience of the control unit for motor vehicle brakes, and ambience implies that the non-conventional hardware and software function groups to be integrated are arranged at least in the immediate vicinity of the conventional electronic brake controller.
