ARCHITECTURE FOR AN AIRCRAFT BRAKING SYSTEM

Generally described, an architecture for an aircraft braking system is provided. The architecture includes a brake having friction members and electromechanical actuators, each electromechanical actuator having an electric motor and a power module; a computer arranged to produce digital control signals; a power unit arranged to produce an electrical power supply for powering the electric motors; and a junction box disposed on the undercarriage. The junction box may be configured to receive and to distribute the electrical power supply. The junction box generally includes an electrical motor control module that produces digital motor command signals from the digital control signals, and an electrical converter module that converts the digital motor command signals into analog motor command signals for the power modules of the electromechanical actuators.
