Abstract:
A process for treatment of variator slip in a continuously variable automatic transmission, the process comprising the steps of, upon detection of variator slip, increasing a characteristic field (1) of a slip meter according to a ratio value (iv) of a variator and to an engine torque (M_mot) of a prime mover and simultaneously an evaluated slip meter (2) of an evaluation module (3), likewise according to the ratio value (iv) of the variator and to the engine torque (M_mot), is increased, assessing the variator slip according to a duration and an intensity by the evaluation module (3), and increasing a characteristic field (4) of a slip status meter connected with said evaluated slip meter (2) together with said evaluated slip meter (2), passing a signal to an error memory (5) in such a manner that, with the entry of an error, the slip, an evaluated slip and a slip-status meter are entered in said error memory (5) as environmental conditions and, depending on the characteristic field (4) of the slip-status meter, a contact pressure security of said variator is locally varied as a function of the variator ratio (iv) and the engine torque (M_mot), and deleting the error entry by deletion of the error memory (5), and said characteristic field (4) of said slip status meter being deleted independently and separately of said error memory.
