A brake system, brake regulating method and device for a rail vehicle use an input for a target deceleration value (ä), an input for an actual deceleration value (a), and an output for a deceleration control variable value. The deceleration control variable value (a) is set by a regulating unit to minimize a deviation between the actual deceleration value (a) and the target deceleration value (a). The brake regulating device uses a limiting device, which limits the deceleration control variable value (a) independently of the regulating unit such that the deceleration control variable value (a) deviates from the target deceleration value (a) maximally by a maximum negative control stroke to lower values or maximally by a maximum positive control stroke to higher values. The invention additionally relates to a braking method and a brake system for a rail vehicle.
