Abstract
A system for controlling an electronically actuated brake is described. The system includes a plurality of brakes controlled by an electronic brake control unit, a brake pedal, momentary switch contact, and a latching relay. When the brake pedal is deflected beyond a threshold and the momentary switch contact are engaged the electronic brake control unit will communicate to the brakes to change their state between on and off. The present state is saved in the latching relay even when power is removed from the system.
