Description

The DCT Controller block implements a dual clutch transmission (DCT) controller. You can specify the clutch open, close, and synchronization timing parameters. The block determines the clutch commands using integrator-based timers and latching logic that is based on the specified timing parameters and gear request.

Examples

Build Conventional Vehicle Model

Build Conventional Vehicle Model

Build a vehicle with an internal combustion engine using the conventional vehicle reference application.

CltchACmd

Clutch pressure command for odd-numbered gears, between 0 and 1

CltchBCmd

Clutch pressure command for even-numbered gears, between 0 and 1

NA

Nominal gear for shifting. The Dual Clutch Transmission block uses this signal for the smooth application of inertial, efficiency, gear ratio, and damping parameters.

Clutch pressure command for odd-numbered gears, between 0 and 1.

Clutch pressure command for even-numbered gears, between 0 and 1.

Parameters

expand all

Initial gear to engage, Go.

Time required to engage and disengage the clutch during shift events, tc, in s.

Time required for gear selection and synchronization, ts, in s.

Sample period, dt, in s.

Selecting this parameter initially locks the clutch.

Selecting this parameter initially locks the synchronizer.
