Abstract
Methods and systems for generating control instructions for a plurality of transmissions having dissimilar gear configurations via a common software framework are described. In one example, the common software framework provides a graphic interface whereby a user/implementer describes configurations of different transmissions. The software framework generates instructions for different transmission controllers that shift the transmissions.

A common system for generating executable instructions for shifting specific transmissions, comprising:
- a computer readable medium including executable instructions to generate a first group of tables and a second group of tables, the first group of tables describing torque paths through a first transmission, the second group of tables describing torque paths through a second transmission, receive data into the first group of tables and the second group of tables via a user, generate executable instructions for a first transmission controller to shift the first transmission according to data in the first group of tables, generate executable instructions for a second transmission controller to shift the second transmission according to data in the second group of tables, the first transmission configured with torque paths that are different than torque paths of the second transmission.
A method for shifting a transmission of a vehicle, comprising:
- defining one or more transmission torque path hardware configurations and an actuator configuration via one or more tables, the one or more tables populated according to the one or more torque path hardware configurations to define a relationship between the one or more torque path hardware configurations and the actuator configuration;
- and
- shifting the transmission according to output of the one or more tables.
A system for generating executable instructions for shifting a transmission, comprising:
- a computer readable medium including executable instructions to generate a group of tables, the group of tables describing one or more transmission torque path hardware configurations and an actuator configuration, and shift the transmission according to output of the group of tables.
