Requirements of the PROP A (Customer
Controller Throttle Interface)
Some of the engines that are used with this
transmission do not arbitrate properly between a
simultaneous J1939 TSC1 speed command from a
J1939 throttle and a transmission speed or torque
limit command.
In order to support these configurations, a proprietary
message is provided. This message will permit the
J1939 throttle controller to send a speed request to
the transmission.
If this message is present and limiting is required,
the transmission will transmit a simultaneous
remote throttle command to the engine. Also, the
transmission will transmit a TSC1 speed and torque
limit command to the engine. The limit command
overrides the remote throttle command in order to
provide the desired engine speed and/or torque.
If this message is not present, the transmission
assumes that the engine has a standard throttle
interface. In the TH55 application, the engine must
be configured to utilize a CAN-based engine throttle
with the PROP A message. This function is required
for speed/torque limiting in 1F converter drive. The
PROP A message commands the desired speed and
the transmission commands the desired torque limit
and controls the engine throttle.
Operation with a J1939 TSC1 throttle that sends
commands directly to the engine is not supported.
As a result, using this throttle may lead to damage
to the transmission.

If this message is present and the commanded

speed would result in a torque of less than the
transmission capacity, that speed is passed to the
engine. The speed is passed in the form of a TSC1
speed command.
