Abstract
A compressed air brake device for a rail vehicle with a direct, electropneumatic brake has a brake control unit which has a brake control device with connected brake actuators and a brake pilot control pressure sensor connected to the brake actuators. An independent monitoring control unit is arranged in parallel to the brake control unit. The monitoring control unit has a monitoring control device with connected monitoring actuators and a monitoring pilot control pressure sensor. A monitoring pilot control pressure at the output of the monitoring actuators is closed-loop controlled using the monitoring pilot control pressure sensor. The higher pressure of a brake pilot control pressure and the monitoring pilot control pressure or, in the case of a fault of the brake control unit, the monitoring pilot control pressure can be relayed to the brake cylinder.
