- VCU: Calculates motor torque command with consideration to usable battery power, usable motor torque, and driver demand (APS, Brake SW, Shift Lever).
- BMS: Provides usable battery power and SOC data for calculating motor torque command by VCU.
- MCU: Provides usable motor torque for calculating motor torque command by VCU. Creates Inverter PWM signal to generate motor torque command received from VCU.
