System for machine and implement control

A method of using a positioning monitoring system for controlling the position of an attached side-shifting-implement mounted on a mobile machinery while simultaneously controlling the position of the mobile machinery comprising:

• a) using the positioning monitoring system to coordinate communications between a controller and a rover data receiver mounted on the side-shifting-implement;
• b) determining and controlling the position of the side-shifting-implement relative to a predetermined path;
• c) using the controller to determine and adjust the position of the mobile machinery relative to the side-shifting-implement position;
• and
• wherein the position monitoring system is further configured to:
• i. generate a map of the landscape and store the map in a data memory device;
• ii. generate a predetermined path of the side-shifting-implement to be controlled and store the path in a data memory device;
• and
• iii. generate a predetermined path of the mobile machinery in relation to the side-shifting-implement predetermined path, and store in a data memory device.

A system for controlling the position of a three-point attached side-shifting-implement mounted on a mobile machinery while simultaneously controlling the position of the mobile machinery comprising:

• a) a controller configured to use information from a position monitoring system to control and position the side-shifting-implement to track a predetermined path;
• b) a rover data receiver mounted on the side-shifting-implement to enable a position monitoring system and the controller to control the position of the side-shifting-implement;
• c) a first sensor mounted on the mobile machinery or mounted in a position representing the mobile machinery position;
• d) A second sensor mounted on the side-shifting implement or mounted in a position representing the side-shifting implement position;
• e) the first sensor and second sensor sensing a relative relationship with each other and relaying information to the controller;
• f) the controller to receive data from the first and the second sensors to determine and adjust the position of the mobile machinery position relative to the side-shifting implement position;
• and
• wherein the position monitoring system is further configured to:
• i. generate a map of the landscape and store the map in a data memory device for use by the controller;
• ii. generate a predetermined path of the side-shifting-implement and store the path in a data memory device for use by the controller;
• and
• iii. generate a predetermined path of the mobile machinery in relation to the side-shifting-implement predetermined path, and store in a data memory device.
