The present invention relates to a
relay valve (18) for an electropneumatic control device (1), comprising: a pneumatic control input (20) which is connected to a control chamber (42) of the
relay valve (18), a working output (28) which is connected to a working chamber (58) of the
relay valve (18), at least a first throttling element (30) that connects the working chamber (58) and the control chamber (42), a supply inlet (16) which is connected to a storage chamber (60) of the
relay valve (18), a double seat valve (50, 54) with at least one inlet seat (54) and at least one outlet seat (50), a relay
piston (46) for actuating the double seat valve (50, 54), wherein the working chamber (58) is connected to a vent (56) when the outlet seat (50) is open and to the storage chamber (60) when the inlet seat (54) is open, and wherein the
relay valve (18) has at least one second throttling element (65, 65', 65'', 65'''', 65'''', 65'''''') which is arranged such that the working chamber (58) and the vent (56) are in throttled flow communication with each other at least in an intermediate position of the relay
piston (46) between the vent position and the ventilation position via the at least one second throttling element (65, 65', 65'', 65'''', 65'''', 65'''''') and that the at least one second throttling element (65, 65', 65'', 65'''', 65'''', 65'''''') is completely closed in the ventilation position.
