INTEGRATED POWERTRAIN CONTROL OF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

Systems and apparatuses of a vehicle include an engine control circuit structured to control an engine speed, a transmission control circuit structured to control a transmission, an implement control circuit structured to control an implement, and a processing circuit structured to receive a travel signal indicative of a travel mode for the vehicle, or an implement signal indicative of an implement mode for the vehicle. In response to operating in the travel mode, the transmission control circuit determines the engine speed and the implement control circuit limits an implement torque to maintain the engine speed. In response to operating in the implement mode, the engine control circuit determines the engine speed and the transmission control circuit limits a propulsion torque to maintain the engine speed.
