Abstract
An electropneumatic trailer control module () includes a trailer control connection () configured to deliver a trailer control pressure (pTC), an electropneumatic trailer control valve arrangement () configured to receive a supply pressure (pS) and to provide the trailer control pressure (pTC) and an electronic trailer control connection () for providing trailer braking control signals (STB) such that the trailer control pressure (pTC) can be modulated. The electropneumatic trailer control module () is characterized by a protection connection () for receiving a pneumatic protection pressure (pPR), and a tractor protection unit () configured to switch between a supply state () and a protection state (). The invention further relates to an electropneumatic braking system (), a vehicle () and a method () for controlling a trailer supply function of an electropneumatic braking system ().
