Clutch-to-
clutch transmission
monitoring system (10) for a motor vehicle (12), comprising:
control software (30) that generates a
control signal (46); a monitor (22, 24, 26, 28) in communication with the
control software (30); and a pre-calculation monitor (32) in communication with the
control software (30), the pre-calculation monitor (32) receiving input data (40, 64, 82, 100) different from the
control signal and outputting an operating threshold
signal (44, 66, 84, 102) to the control
software (30), the operating threshold
signal defining permissible operating limits for at least one component in communication with the monitor; characterized in that the pre-calculation monitor (32) determines the operating threshold
signal based on a driver request or a PRNDL (Park - Reverse - Neutral - Drive - Low) position; wherein the
clutch-to-
clutch transmission
monitoring system further comprises a post-calculation monitor (34) in communication with the control
software (30) and the pre-calculation monitor (32), the post-calculation monitor (34) receiving both the
control signal (46) and the operating threshold signal and for determining whether the control signal (46) exceeds the permissible operating limits defined by the pre-calculation monitor (32); wherein the control
software (30) is supplemented by additional software checks, the additional software checks ensuring that the threshold values identified by the operating threshold signal, which were determined by the pre-calculation monitor (32), are not violated.
