Abstract
An electropneumatic valve assembly is for activating a parking brake function of an electropneumatic brake system. The valve assembly has a pilot control unit and a main valve unit configured to actuate a parking brake pressure at least at one spring-accumulator connection. The valve assembly has a service brake connection for receiving a service brake pressure and a safety valve. The safety valve, by receiving a safety control pressure, is switchable from a venting position, in which the safety valve connects the pilot control unit to a vent, to a supply position, in which the safety valve supplies the pilot control valve with reservoir pressure, the safety valve remaining in the supply position or switching to the venting position as a function of an actuated pressure. The service brake connection is connected to the safety valve control connection.
