PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
Fig. 6 Effect of throttle
adjustment parameters.
These three parameters
determine the controller’s
response to throttle position,
in forward and reverse.
Here,
Deadband = 10%
Throttle Max = 90%.
Throttle Map 20 – 80 % The throttle map parameter adjusts the static throttle map. The parameter
setting corresponds to the throttle command at half throttle, as shown in
Figure 6.
A setting of 50% provides linear response. Values below 50% reduce the
throttle command at low throttle positions, providing enhanced slow speed
maneuverability. Values above 50% give the vehicle a faster, more responsive
feel at low throttle positions.
The 0% and 100% endpoints remain unchanged.

Map determines the “knee”
in the output; this knee is at
an 80% map setting.
