Pressure control process and apparatus
First Claim
1. Pressure control process in a braking system of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a command variable from a driver to a controller of at least one valve, said at least one valve having an operating point,determining said operating point of said at least one valve with a pilot control value during a series of brake cycles, said pilot control value consisting additively of a constant value and a variable value,determining a new variable value after each of said brake cycles,storing said new variable value after each of said brake cycles,determining said variable value based on said new variable values, stored for each of said brake cycles,updating said pilot control value with said variable value, andcontrolling said at least one valve with said pilot control value.

Abstract
A process and an apparatus for pressure control, in particular, to adjust braking pressures in a utility vehicle, are proposed. Two individual controllers (10, 11) are assigned respectively to an inlet valve (2) and to a discharge valve (3). A pilot control value consisting of a fixed value yv and of a memorized value Δyv is additively input to the output values of these controllers. The memorized components Δyv are the integration result of the I (integration) components of the individual controllers (10, 11) for the duration of a pressure increase (inlet valve) or pressure decrease (discharge valve). The memorizing process is ended after approximately five to ten brake applications and the value of Δyv which is then reached is used as an individual pilot control value.
