An electrically actuated braking system for an aircraft, comprising: an electro-mechanical brake actuator (EMAbrake) proximate a wheel of the aircraft, the EMAbrake including a motor; an electro-mechanical actuator controller (EMAC) including a motor controller for generating a drive signal for the EMAbrake; and a braking control unit for generating a braking force command signal for the EMAC, wherein the braking control unit and the EMAC are disposed together with the EMAbrake in a common line replaceable unit (LRU).

Aircraft electric braking system

An electrically actuated braking system for an aircraft, including: an electro-mechanical brake actuator (EMAbrake) proximate a wheel of the aircraft, the EMAbrake including a motor; an electro-mechanical actuator controller (EMAC) including a first motor controller for generating a first drive signal for the EMAbrake, and a second motor controller for generating a second drive signal for the EMAbrake, wherein the first motor controller and the second motor controller are dissimilar so as to provide protection against common mode failure of the first and second motor controllers.

An electrically actuated braking system for an aircraft. The system includes: an electro-mechanical brake actuator (EMAbrake) proximate a wheel of the aircraft, the EMAbrake including a motor; an electro-mechanical actuator controller (EMAC) including a motor controller for generating a drive signal for the EMAbrake; a braking control unit (BCU) for generating a braking force command signal for the EMAC during a normal mode of operation; and an emergency braking control unit (eBCU) for generating a braking force command signal for the EMAC during an emergency operating mode. The eBCU is disposed together with the EMAC in a common line replaceable unit (LRU).
