Methods and systems for feeding back information of a coordinated torque control system

An engine control system includes a first torque request module that generates a first torque request, a second torque request module that generates a second torque request, a Drehmomentarbitrierungsmodul, a Arbitrierungsruckmeldungsmodul and a torque control module. The Drehmomentarbitrierungsmodul selects either the first or the second torque requirement and are based on the selected one of the first and second torque request torque demand torque from a arbitriertes. The Arbitrierungsruckmeldungsmodul reported a status signal to the first torque request module. The status signal has a first value if the first torque request is the selected one of the first and second torque request torque request. The torque control module controls a machine to produce the arbitrated torque. The power source includes an internal combustion engine.
