An
electronic control unit (ECU) for an
actuator of an electro-mechanical
brake for a commercial or transport vehicle comprises two electrical supply interfaces which comprise a main supply interface which operates on a first
voltage level U1, wherein the main supply interface is in electrical communication with a main supply line (MSL, 10), wherein the main supply line (MSL, 10) is configured to operate the
brake actuator. The two electrical supply interfaces further comprise a secondary supply interface which operates on the first
voltage level U1, wherein the secondary supply interface is in electrical communication with a secondary supply line (SSL). The main supply interface and supply line (MSL) have a first
power capability P1, and the secondary supply interface and supply line (SSL) have a second
power capability P2, wherein the sum of the two power capabilities P1, P2 is equal to or higher than the maximum
power demand P0 required by the
brake actuator. A power switch (PS1) connects the main supply line (MSL) with the secondary supply line (SSL) to ensure a
power demand Pm required by the
electric motor driving the brake actuator, wherein the
power demand Pm is split between the main supply line (MSL) and the secondary supply line (SSL). The ECU further comprises two data communication interfaces which respectively are in data communication with two communication lines (CL1, CL2) which are configured to operate a CAN communication between the brake actuator and the vehicle. The two communication lines (CL1, CL2) are respectively connected to two CAN RX / TX circuits (CC1, CC2).
