Throttle Type 5
Throttle Type 5 provides a different way of sending the throttle command to
the controller. This throttle type uses VCL to define the throttle signal that
will be “input” into the throttle signal chain (see Figure 14). This throttle
type can be used for either the drive throttle or the brake throttle by using
the VCL variables VCL_Throttle and VCL_Brake. How the VCL program is
written will determine where the throttle signal originates from, making this
a very flexible throttle input method. VCL can be written to use the throttle
pot inputs, switch inputs, or CAN communication messages as the source of
the throttle signals. If you have questions regarding this throttle type, contact
the Curtis office nearest you.
Setting the Throttle Type to Type 5 also allows the throttle and brake
pot inputs to be redefined by a VCL program for uses other than throttle or
brake input. The variable names that VCL can use to interface with these two
inputs are Throttle_Pot_Output (see page 93) and Brake_Pot_Output (see
page 95).
