Dynamic control system for continuously variable transmission

A method of operating a transmission, comprising:

• receiving an operating mode request;
• receiving a first operator input device displacement signal;
• receiving a second operator input device displacement signal;
• sensing at least one parameter indicative of an operating condition of the transmission;
• determining a transmission output request in response to the operating mode request, the first operator input device displacement signal, the second operator input device displacement signal, and the at least one parameter;
• and
• controlling an output of the transmission in response to the operating mode request, the determined transmission output request, and the at least one parameter.

A machine, comprising:

• a power source configured to generate a power output;
• at least one traction device configured to propel the machine;
• an operator station configured to receive input from an operator indicative of a desired machine movement;
• and
• a continuously variable transmission, including:
• a driven element;
• a first operator input device configured to transmit a first displacement signal corresponding to a displacement of the first operator input device;
• a second operator input device configured to transmit a second displacement signal corresponding to a displacement of the second operator input device;
• a third operator input device configured to transmit a transmission operating mode request;
• at least one sensor configured to sense at least one parameter indicative of an operating condition of the transmission;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• determine a driven element output request based on the operating request mode, the first displacement signal, the second displacement signal, and the at least one sensed parameter;
• regulate an output of the driven element in response to the operating mode request, the driven element output request, and the at least one sensed parameter.
