Abstract
An equipment notification system for a component of an agricultural vehicle, including a processor configured to receive a first signal indicative of an operational parameter of the agricultural vehicle, determine an absence of the operational parameter based at least in part on the first signal, compare a period of time of the absence of the operational parameter to a threshold period of time associated with the operational parameter, and output, in response to determining that the period of time of the absence of the operational parameter exceeds the threshold period of time, a second signal indicative of an instruction to provide a notification regarding a position of the component of the agricultural vehicle via a user interface.
Claims20
An equipment notification system for a component of an agricultural vehicle, comprising a processor configured to:
- receive a first signal indicative of an operational parameter of the agricultural vehicle;
- determine an absence of the operational parameter based at least in part on the first signal;
- compare a period of time of the absence of the operational parameter to a threshold period of time associated with the operational parameter;
- and
- output, in response to determining that the period of time of the absence of the operational parameter exceeds the threshold period of time, a second signal indicative of an instruction to provide a notification regarding a position of the component of the agricultural vehicle via a user interface.
A method of providing an equipment notification for a component of an air cart, comprising:
- receiving, via a processor, a signal indicative of a current ground speed of the air cart from a ground speed sensor disposed on the air cart;
- determining, via the processor, an absence of ground speed of the air cart based at least in part on the signal received from the ground speed sensor;
- determining, via the processor, a period of time of the absence of ground speed of the air cart;
- and
- providing, via a user interface, a notification regarding a position of the component of the air cart in response to determining the period of time of the absence of ground speed of the air cart, wherein the user interface is disposed remote from the air cart.
A tangible, non-transitory, and computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
- receive a first signal indicative of a current ground speed of an air cart of an agricultural system from a ground speed sensor disposed on the air cart;
- determine an absence of ground speed of the air cart based at least in part on the first signal from the ground speed sensor;
- determine a period of time of the absence of ground speed based at least in part on the first signal from the ground speed sensor;
- compare the period of time of the absence of ground speed to a threshold period of time;
- and
- output, in response to determining that the period of time of the absence of ground speed exceeds the threshold period of time, a second signal indicative of an instruction to provide a notification regarding a position of a ladder of the air cart via a user interface disposed within a cabin of a work vehicle of the agricultural system, wherein the work vehicle is configured to tow the air cart.
