Abstract
A brake system for motor vehicles, which brake system can be actuated both by the vehicle driver and also independently of the vehicle driver in a 'brake by wire' operating mode, is preferentially operated in the 'brake by wire' operating mode, and can be operated in at least one fall-back operating mode in which only operation by the vehicle driver is possible. The brake system has inter alia an electrohydraulic pressure generating device () which outputs a brake system pressure, and a pressure modulation unit which has one inlet valve (-) and one outlet valve (-) per wheel brake () for setting wheel-specific brake pressures derived from the brake system pressure, wherein the inlet and outlet valves (--) output or transmit the brake system pressure when in the non-actuated state.
