Gear Shift Control

Gearshift Control Function Setup

Emtron has multiple methods of Gearshift Control

  • Config, Function Setup, Motorsport, Gearshift Control

Mechanical - Manual Shift (Force)

Electronic - Paddle

There are also other CAN BUS Triggered modes for Application Build versions.  

** See those Application Build Manuals for details

  • Configure Gear Position using the “Gear Detection Voltage” channel . This is normally a barrel position sensor located on the sequential gearbox. See Config View -> Inputs -> Vehicle Tab
  • Configure the Inputs. Configure the following from the Inputs -> Motorsport tab:

Paddle Shift mode 

  •  
    • Upshift Paddle Input
    • Downshift Paddle Input
    • Reverse Lockout Switch if required
    • Compressor Pressure Input if required

In Force Shift mode 

  •  
    • Gearshift Force Input

  • For Paddle Shift to function correctly and safely at least least two(2) gear channel needs to be tracked for redundancy purposes.  Commonly a Gear Detection voltage will be reported from a gear drum mounted to the transmission along with a speed sensor which may be used by the ECU to calculate the gear along with generating Engine Speed requests fro rev-matching limiters.  The vehicles wheel diameter and final drive ratio should be confirmed correct.  Then enter the correct transmission gear ratios into the table :

  See Vehicle Dynamics->Vehicle Main   The gear ratio table needs to be accurately set for this to occur.  

. See Tuning view -> Vehicle Functions -> Vehicle Dynamics menu -> Transmission Gear Ratio table. Use -1 for Reverse.
