Abstract
An electrically controlled braking system includes at least one control unit and first and second brake component responsive to control signals generated by the control unit. A first control network electrically connects the control unit and the first brake component, and a second control network electrically connects the control unit and the second brake component. An auxiliary control link is activatable to electrically connect the first brake component and the second brake component when a failure occurs in one of the first control network or the second control network, the auxiliary control link adapted to transmit the control signals between the first brake component and the second brake component when the failure occurs.
