THROTTLE 0%
The throttle 0% parameter defines the throttle input voltage at which a throttle
command begins. Voltages lower than the programmed value (but higher than
THRTL FAULT LO ) are interpreted to be in a 0% deadband.
THROTTLE 100%
The throttle 100% parameter defines the throttle input voltage that gives a full
throttle command. Input voltages above this value (but lower than
THRTL FAULT
HI ) are interpreted as 100% throttle command.
THROTTLE MAP
The throttle map parameter modifies the vehicle’s response to the throttle
input. As shown in Figure 7, this parameter determines the controller output
for a given amount of applied throttle. The
THROTTLE MAP setting refers to the
controller output at half throttle, the midpoint of the throttle’s full active range
(the range between
THROTTLE 0% and THROTTLE 100% ).

controller with the Throttle
Map parameter set at vari-
ous values.
Setting THROTTLE MAP at 50% provides a linear output response to throttle
position. Values below 50% reduce the controller output at low throttle settings,
providing enhanced slow speed control. Values above 50% give the vehicle a
faster, jumpier feel at low throttle settings.
Controller output begins when the throttle is moved beyond THROTTLE 0% ,
and continues to increase—following the curve defined by the THROTTLE MAP
setting—as the throttle input increases, and reaches maximum output when
the throttle input crosses the
THROTTLE 100% threshold.
