Set the following driveability features at 2910
Enable/disable proportional braking. If enabled, the braking torque during direction braking
is proportional to the throttle.
Enable/disable directional throttle. If configured as a directional throttle, the throttle voltage
indicates the direction as well as the speed demand. This removes the need for forward and
reverse direction switches.
Proportional speed limit enable/disable. If enabled, speed limit is proportional to the throttle,
otherwise speed limit is fixed at the forward or reverse maximum speed. Only used in torque
mode.
WARNING: Proportional Speed Limit is not recommended for on-highway vehicles as it
can cause the traction motor/wheel to remain locked or brake severely if the wheel is
momentarily locked due to loss of traction on a slippery surface and/or mechanical
braking.
Braking directional throttle enable/disable. If enabled, a directional throttle can be used to
demand a drive or braking torque in conjunction with the direction switches. Only used in
torque mode.
Reverse speed limit encoding. Controls how reverse speed limits are handled in torque
mode. Must always be enabled on Slip control systems, and must always be disabled on
flux vector and PMAC systems.
Handbrake fault. If enabled, a handbrake fault is set when a direction is selected whilst the
handbrake input is active.
Proportional speed limit during braking enable/disable. If enabled, speed limit is proportional
to throttle only in drive states. Maximum speed limit is allowed in braking states. Only used
in torque mode.
Driveability Consolidation. Normally, driveability profiles are only used to reduce vehicle
performance, however, if this is enabled, an active driveability profiles over-writes the
baseline. This allows vehicle performance to increase when a profile is active. Note, that this
feature is not available in all software builds.
Allow step change in steering angle. If enabled, steering angle can change instantly with
steering voltage. If disabled, steering angle is rate limited to 90º/s which prevents sudden
steering angle changes in the event of a steering sensor wire-off.
Virtual FS1 enable/disable. If enabled, this sets up a virtual FS1 feature on systems with
dual throttle inputs configured.
Positive (absolute) Steer Angle only enable/disable. If enabled steer angle is always positive
in both directions. Used for single traction systems with steering cutback. Motor mapped
must be left motor
Separate Seat Regen Braking enable/disable. If enabled, separate regen setting is activated
for regenerative braking with operator off the seat. Seat Regen settings are set at 2928
Slave Left Motor Speed Inversion enable/disable. Inverts left motor slave actual speed when
slave inversion switch activates.
An s-curve profile can be applied to the speed target (in speed mode) or maximum speed (in
torque mode). This can be set at 290A
