1. Electric braking system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a control unit (10) which determines at least the driver'"'"'s braking requirement;
control modules (A, B) which control the braking force at the wheels of the vehicle based upon the driver'"'"'s braking requirement;
at least one communication system (K1, K2), which connects the control unit (10) with the control modules (A, B) for transmitting data between the control unit and the control modules; and
at least two mutually independent electrical systems (E1, E2) for power supply, the control unit (10) is connected with the at least two electrical systems for power supply, whereby the control modules (A, B) are each only connected with one of the at least two electrical systems for power supply.

Abstract
An electronic brake system for a vehicle which has control modules for adjusting the braking force at the wheels of the vehicle, a control module which determines at least the driver'"'"'s braking command, and at least one communications system which connects the modules to each other, where, to supply the elements with energy, at least two independent vehicle electrical systems (E1, E2) are provided, at least one of the elements being connected to an electrical system different from that to which the other elements are connected.

11. Electric braking system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a control unit (10) which determines at least the driver'"'"'s breaking requirement; control modules (A, B) which control the braking force at the wheels of the vehicle based upon the driver'"'"'s braking requirement; an evaluation unit (18) which determines desired values representing the braking forces at each wheel; at least one communication system (K1, K2), which connects the control unit (10) with the evaluation unit (18) and with the control modules (A, B) for transmitting data between these elements, wherein the control unit (10) determines the desired values (FH, FV) representing the braking forces to be applied at the brakes of the rear axle and the front axle respective based on the driver'"'"'s braking requirement, and where the evaluation unit (18) forms the desired values (F1 to F4) representing the braking forces to be applied at the wheels of the vehicle based on the desired values formed by the control unit (10), and where the control modules (A, B) control the wheel brakes based on at least one of the desired values forming by the control unit (10) and by the evaluation unit (18).

12. Electric braking system for a vehicle, having actuators (20, 22, 24, 26) at each wheel being controlled by actuation signals, comprising:
-
a control unit (10) which determines at least the driver'"'"'s braking requirement; control modules (A, B) which control the braking force at the wheels of the vehicle based upon the driver'"'"'s braking requirement; at least one communication system (K1, K2), which connects the control unit (10) with the control modules (A, B) for transmitting data between the control unit and the control modules; separate communications lines between the control unit and the control modules, whereby the control unit (10) determines desired values (F1 to F4) based on the driver'"'"'s braking requirement and the control unit (10) further determines actuation signals (i1r, i2r, i3r, i4r) based on the driver'"'"'s braking requirement and sends the actuation signals via said separate communication lines to the control modules, the control modules controlling the wheel brakes based on at least one of the desired values and the actuation signals.
