Abstract

A circuit configuration for a slip-controlled vehicle brake system is equipped with sensors (10-13) for the determination of the rotational behavior of the front and the rear wheels and with electronic circuits (18, 30) for the processing, logic combining and monitoring of the sensor signals and for the generation of control signals. The control signals allow control of the braking pressure variation at the wheels. Upon failure or malfunction of a sensor (10-13) or in the event of an interference in the signal path, the brake slip control is switched over to being responsive to the rotational behavior of another wheel according to a predetermined selection criterion.
