Device for supplying power to a two-voltage vehicle electrical system equipped with safety-relevant components

A method is provided for automatically detecting the installation position of brake force generating units of an electromechanical motor vehicle brake system. A steered direction of the motor vehicle during cornering is sensed. Wheel speeds occurring at each wheel of the motor vehicle during the cornering are sensed. The wheel speed occurring for each wheel is compared with a position scheme of setpoint wheel speeds which is representative of the direction of cornering. The actual position of the brake force generating units is determined on the basis of the above comparison.

A method for the controlled power activation of an electromechanical braking system in a motor vehicle where the maximum power available is less than the nominal capacity includes the step of activating brake force-generating units of the braking system individually or in subgroups in succession to one another. The brake force-generating units are in each case activated with a power level corresponding to a portion of the maximum power available. The portion of the maximum power available is sufficient for the individual unit to function at least partially.
