A valve device (330) for a
system, in particular a
brake system for a vehicle, is presented, wherein the
system comprises a first
control unit and a second
control unit, the control units being electrically connectable to or connected with the valve device (330). The valve device (330) comprises a valve unit (450) with at least one
actuator (452) for actuating the valve unit (450), a valve housing (435) for receiving the valve unit (450), and a fault protection module (440) arranged outside the valve housing (435).The fault protection module (440) comprises a first supply connection (441) for
electrical connection to the first
control unit, a second supply connection (442) for
electrical connection to the second control unit, a first main connection (445) for
electrical connection to the first control unit, a second main connection (446) for electrical connection to the second control unit, a first connecting connection (447) electrically connected to the first supply connection (441) and the second supply connection (442) for electrical connection to the
actuator (452), a second connecting connection (448) electrically connected to the first main connection (445) and the second main connection (446) for electrical connection to the
actuator (452), a first
electrical protection circuit (460) and a second
electrical protection circuit (470).The first protective circuit (460) is electrically connected between the first supply terminal (441) and the second supply terminal (442) on the one hand, and the first connecting terminal (447) on the other. The second protective circuit (470) is electrically connected between the second connecting terminal (448) on the one hand, and the first main terminal (445) and the second main terminal (446) on the other. At least one protective circuit (460, 470) comprises at least one electrical fuse (462, 472) and / or at least one
diode element (464, 474) connected in series with the respective supply or main terminal.
