A global system model equation including model equations, which contain parameters, of individual components that form the global system. The parameters of the individual components are detected using sensor values from the sensors that are allocated to the individual components and it is determined whether it is possible to adapt the parameters to the sensor values and to solve the global system model equation.

Method for detecting the sources of faults or defective measuring sensors by working case modeling and partial suppression of equations

In an electronic brake of a vehicle, it is to be prevented that an actuator that is arranged on each wheel of the vehicle and that comprises a self-locking mechanism effects an undesired continuous blocking of the wheel. For this purpose, an energy storage unit is arranged directly at the actuator, which, on the basis of a suitable control mechanism, ensures the release of the actuator for the respective wheel in case of failure of the current supply. In addition, given a changeover to such an emergency operation, the supply line is interrupted on the basis of a controlled switch, in order to ensure release of the actuator even in the case of a short-circuit.
