Abstract
A method of controlling a transmission associated with a machine includes determining a torque demand associated with a parasitic load, the parasitic load receiving power from a power source of the machine via the transmission. The method also includes converting the torque demand into a corresponding torque request using a first neural network associated with a control system of the machine. The torque demand is an input of the first neural network and the torque request is an output of the first neural network. The method further includes directing the power source to provide torque to the transmission substantially equal to the torque request.

A method of controlling a transmission associated with a machine, comprising:
- determining a torque demand associated with a parasitic load, the parasitic load receiving power from a power source of the machine via the transmission;
- converting the torque demand into a corresponding torque request using a first neural network associated with a control system of the machine, wherein the torque demand comprises an input of the first neural network and the torque request comprises an output of the first neural network;
- and
- directing the power source to provide torque to the transmission substantially equal to the torque request.
A method of controlling a transmission associated with a machine, comprising:
- determining a plurality of operating characteristics of the machine;
- determining a torque demand indicative of torque required by a traction device receiving power from the power source via the transmission;
- inputting data indicative of the plurality of operating characteristics and the torque demand into a first neural network associated with a control system of the machine;
- converting the torque demand into a torque request, based on the data, using the first neural network, the torque request being indicative of an input torque required by the transmission in order for the transmission to generate an output torque substantially equal to the torque demand;
- and
- providing torque from the power source to the transmission substantially equal to the torque request.
A machine, comprising:
- a power source;
- a transmission operably connected to the power source;
- a parasitic load receiving power from the power source via the transmission;
- and
- a control system in communication with the power source, the transmission, and the parasitic load, wherein the control system is operable to
- determine a torque demand associated with the parasitic load;
