Abstract
Systems and methods for adjusting an operating parameter of a machine based on an operating state of a component of the machine are provided. A method may be implemented by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the machine and includes determining that a performance of the machine has degraded. The method further includes selecting a predetermined adjustment to the operating parameter, wherein the selected predetermined adjustment reduces an effect of the operating state of the component on the performance of the machine, and operating the machine using the selected predetermined adjustment to the operating parameter.
Claims10
A method for adjusting an operating parameter of a gas turbine engine based on an operating state of a component of the gas turbine engine, said method comprising:
- determining that a performance of the gas turbine engine has degraded over time;
- selecting a predetermined adjustment to the operating parameter, wherein the selected predetermined adjustment reduces an effect of the operating state of the component on the performance of the gas turbine engine;
- manually implementing the selected predetermined adjustment of the operating parameter using a data entry plug, wherein configuration pins of the data entry plug are moved to either a pulled position or a pushed position to manually implement the selected predetermined adjustment;
- and
- operating the machine using the selected predetermined adjustment to the operating parameter.
