1. An electromechanical actuator controller (EMAC) for controlling an electric brake actuator, said EMAC configured to:
- receive first data corresponding to a first braking command generated based on a first brake input device;
receive second data corresponding to a second braking command generated based on a brake input device, said second data different from said first data;
receive third data corresponding to a braking mode; and
based on the third data, selectively use the first data or the second data to control the actuator.

Abstract
A system, apparatus and method provide a means for controlling an electric brake actuator. An electromechanical actuator controller (EMAC) is configured to receive first data indicative of a desired braking force, second data indicative of a braking command generated by a brake input device, the second data different from said first data, and third data indicative of a braking mode. Based on the third data, the EMAC selectively uses the first data or the second data to control the actuator.
