ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE INTERLOCK

An electromechanical brake system is disclosed herein. The electromechanical brake system includes an electromechanical brake actuator, an electronic brake actuator controller coupled to the electromechanical brake actuator, and an interlock. The electromechanical brake actuator includes an actuator motor configured to turn and apply a commanded clamping force and an electromechanical brake actuator park brake configured to, responsive to being activated, maintain the commanded clamping force responsive to power to the actuator motor being turned off. The interlock is configured to receive a first signal from a park brake switch and a second signal from the electronic brake actuator controller and is further configured to activate the electromechanical brake actuator park brake in response to the first signal from the park brake switch being activated and the second signal from the electronic brake actuator controller being activated.
