The present invention relates to a shift sequence control to coordinate shifting, which corresponds to changes of constellations in a transmission. A change of the constellations yields a change of the force transfer of the transmission. The sequence of shifting takes place program-controlled and is subdivided into phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). The sequence includes the driving of a plurality of actuating elements and each of the phases is assigned at least one type of drive for at least one actuating element. According to the invention, it is provided that the phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) can be configured without changing the program. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for coordinating shifting sequences.
Shift sequence control for coordinating shifting operations, which correspond to changes of constellations in the transmission, wherein a change of the constellations results in a change of the force transfer of the transmission and wherein the sequence of the shifting takes place program-controlled and is subdivided into phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) with the sequence including the drive of a plurality of actuators and the phases are each assigned at least a type of drive for at least one actuator, characterized in that the phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) can be configured without changing the program.

Shift sequence control of one of the above claims, characterized in that actuating elements include pressure control valves and/or magnetic valves and/or step motors and/or step motors and/or internal combustion engine control means.
Shift sequence control of one of the above claims, characterized in that at least some of the phases and/or some of the criteria (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are assigned at least one sequence phase (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), which is run through at the end of the phase (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) or with the satisfaction of a criterion.
Shift sequence control of one of the above claims, characterized in that the configuration of the phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) takes places via data which define the type of drive and/or the criteria and/or the sequence phases in the context of available functions and that the data can be adapted at least to different types of transmission and transmission manufacture series.
Shift sequence control of one of the above claims, characterized in that state quantities are detected and that a shift strategy is selected on the basis of these state quantities and that predetermined phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are assigned to the shift strategy.

Shift sequence control of one of the above claims, characterized in that at least one actuator element is an active actuator element, which can request the end of a phase (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
Method for coordinating shift sequences which correspond to changes of constellations in a transmission, wherein a change of the constellations results in a change of the force transfer of the transmission, wherein the sequence of the shifting takes place with program control and is subdivided into phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), with the sequence including the control of a plurality of actuator elements, and wherein at least one type of control is assigned to at least one actuating element, characterized in that the phases (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are defined by data which can be changed without changing the program.
