A system for and a method of controlling driving of a continuously-operable electronic vacuum pump includes determining conditions for allowing and disallowing first and second electronic vacuum pumps to operate for each braking situation according to vehicle state information associated with braking. The first and second electronic vacuum pumps are driven individually or concurrently according to the determined braking situation. Thus, an optimal negative pressure optimal suitable for the vehicle state information is easily supplied to a booster.

A brake system includes a brake command that is electronically transmittable to the brake system. It comprises a first and second electromechanical pressure generating units, that can implement the brake command and that are fluidically connected with one hydraulic brake circuit. Multiple actuator valves are assigned respectively to one brake actuator at a vehicle wheel and can either be pressurized or de-pressurized. Both pressure generating units are designed to supply sufficient brake pressure to actuate all brake actuators. During normal operation the first pressure generating unit supplies the requested brake pressure up to a normal maximal value. Additionally, potential peak brake pressures, that exceed the normal maximum value, are supplied by the second pressure generating unit. In event of failure of the second pressure generating unit the entire brake pressure is supplied by the first pressure generating unit, whereby the brake pressure is limited to the normal maximum value, and in an emergency mode when the first pressure generating unit fails the entire brake pressure in the brake circuit will be supplied via the second pressure generating unit, whereby the brake pressure is limited to the normal maximum value or an emergency maximum value.

A method for operating a brake system. A brake request signal is generated, and a setpoint brake pressure required in an active circuit is ascertained. An actual brake pressure is set according to the setpoint brake pressure. A wheel brake actuated by the active circuit is hydraulically decoupled from the pressure generation device by closing an isolation valve, which is situated between the pressure generation device and the wheel brake, the isolation valve is preloaded to a closed state counter to an inflow direction of a volume flow into a brake-side section between the isolation valve and the wheel brake. A hydraulic recoupling of the wheel brake takes place by opening the isolation valve in that the actual brake pressure is set according to the setpoint brake pressure and an opening force is simultaneously applied to the isolation valve such that a compensation of a closing force takes place.
