Menu 2 “Controller Setup” for traction software
This menu embraces all the settings that are used to activate the DMC Simga2NController functions. It of extreme
importance to set up this menu according to the desired functions required and then re-cycle the key to make changes
active.
M2-1 Control Mode “Spd/Torq”
This sets whether the controller has to provide speed type control or torque type control:
• If set to 0, the controller will apply speed control.
• If set to 1, the controller will apply torque control.
• If set to 2, the controller will apply torque control with speed control at zero speed.
• If set to 3, the controller will apply Torque control with speed control at end of braking if footbrake
operation or at zero speed.
The definition of each type is detailed below:
Speed control means that the Accelerator input is used as a speed demand between zero and the programmed
maximum speed for the direction of drive. Speed control results in a constant drive speed for a given demand
(Accelerator deflection), regardless of load.
Torque control means that the Accelerator input is used to set a torque demand between zero and the
programmed maximum torque. Torque control has the feel of a car: as the load increases, the vehicle will slow
and more demand (Accelerator deflection) must be applied to keep speed constant.
The programmable options are 0 and 3:
Please refer to parameters from “5M1.2-1 Speed threshold to enter End-of-Braking (EoB) mode ”SpdThEoB””
to “M1.5-4 Restraint hill hold torque threshold ”HHTrqTH”” and End Of Breaking function description in
Adjustment menu for detailed description about option 2 and 3.
This parameter requires a key cycle off-on to be effective.
