A control device of a powertrain with a centrifugal pendulum damper is provided comprising a power transmission shaft which transmits power between a drive source and an automatic transmission, and a centrifugal pendulum damper which is coupled to the power transmission shaft and a connection/disconnection mechanism. The automatic transmission has a transmission mechanism of a hydraulic pressure control type, which includes a transmission control module which performs a control to supply transmission hydraulic pressure to the transmission mechanism. The transmission control module includes a transmission characteristic changing module which changes a control characteristic of transmission hydraulic pressure according to an engagement degree of the connection/disconnection mechanism.

There are provided a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in which a belt (7) is wound around a primary pulley (5) and a secondary pulley (6) to transmit power; a primary pulley rotational speed sensor (13) for detecting a rotational speed of the primary pulley (5); a vehicle stopped state determination means for determining whether a vehicle is in a stopped state; a belt slippage detection means for detecting belt slippage on the basis of a signal of the primary pulley rotational speed sensor (13); and a prohibition means for prohibiting detection of the belt slippage by the belt slippage detection means when a parking range or a neutral range is selected by a shift lever operation by a driver. In the vehicle stopped state during selection of the parking range or the neutral range, the rotational speed of the primary pulley (5) is not basically output, and the belt slippage does not occur. Thus, erroneous detection of the belt slippage can be avoided by prohibiting the detection of the belt slippage in this case.

A controller for a vehicle transmission is disclosed. The controller may include an electronic control unit configured to carry out a change shift for changing a path of the transmission of power between a first transmission path and a second transmission path by engaging a predetermined clutch mechanism. The electronic control unit may also be configured to set a change speed ratio region that defines a range of a speed ratio of the first transmission mechanism such that a rotation speed difference between engagement members of the clutch mechanism, which are engaged with each other in carrying out the change shift, is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value. When a speed ratio outside the change speed ratio region is set in the first transmission mechanism, the change shift is not carried out.

Systems and methods for controlling transmissions having CVTs are disclosed with multiple modes and gearing arrangements for range enhancements, where embodiments include synchronous shifting to allow the transmission to achieve a continuous range of transmission ratios, while minimizing empty cycling of the CVT during mode shifts. Embodiments provide for wide ratio range and performance and efficiency flexibility, while maximizing CVT usage through synchronous shifting.

The disclosure relates to a method for operating a drive assembly or a work machine. The drive assembly comprises a main drive element, a first and second clutches, and a traction drive. The method comprises the following steps: identifying a target torque progression of the drive assembly, and identifying a slip point at the first clutch, and setting and/or adjusting the direction of the relative rotational speed of the first and second clutch. The rotational speed of the main drive element is set and/or adjusted until the direction of the relative rotational speed of the first and second clutches is the same, and transmitting the torque from the first clutch to the second clutch. The torque of the drive assembly follows the target torque progression, and synchronizing the second clutch. The disclosure further relates to a drive assembly and to a work machine.
