The present invention relates to an electrohydraulic
brake control device (100, 100') for hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b), the
brake control device comprising an electrically controllable hydraulic source (5), inlet valves (6a, 6b) for each of the hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b), outlet valves (7a, 7b) for each of the hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b), and a pressure medium reservoir (4), the
brake control device (100, 100') comprising a
pressure increase wheel connection (61a, 61b) and a
pressure decrease wheel connection (62a, 62b) for at least one of the hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b). The present invention also relates to a brake
system for a motor vehicle, the brake
system comprising at least two hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b), an electrically controllable hydraulic source (5), inlet valves (6a, 6b) for each of the hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b), outlet valves (7a, 7b) for each of the hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b), and an electrohydraulic
brake control device (100, 100') comprising a pressure medium reservoir, the
brake control device (100, 100') for each of the hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b) being connected to the hydraulically actuable wheel brakes (8a, 8b) via first and second
hydraulic connection elements (81a, 82a, 81b, 82b). The present invention further relates to a method for operating a brake
system of this type.
