Abstract
A control unit () for a vehicle () with an electric drive () and an electromechanically actuated brake unit () includes a high-voltage DC link () disconnectably connected to a first energy store () of the electric drive (), a converter () connected to the high-voltage DC link () and operable bidirectionally, and an electric motor () connected to the converter () for driving a wheel () of the vehicle (). A brake drive circuit () is connected to the high-voltage DC link (), and another electric motor (), is connected to the brake drive circuit (). A function block () has an input () for receiving a voltage signal () indicative of the voltage of the high-voltage DC link (), a first output () for outputting a converter drive signal (), and a first closed-loop controller unit () for generating the converter drive signal ().
