Abstract
A control device may obtain data related to at least one position of an implement of a work machine that has moved to a set position. The control device may identify one or more first noise amplitudes associated with the data and may determine, based on the one or more first noise amplitudes, a noise band related to the implement vibrating at the set position. The control device may identify one or more second noise amplitudes associated with the data and may determine, based on the noise band and the one or more second noise amplitudes, that the implement has settled at the set position. The control device may allow, based on determining that the implement has settled at the set position, the implement to move to another position.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining data related to at least one position of an implement of a work machine that has moved to a set position;
- identifying one or more first noise amplitudes associated with the data;
- determining, based on the one or more first noise amplitudes, a noise band related to the implement vibrating at the set position;
- identifying one or more second noise amplitudes associated with the data;
- determining, based on the noise band and the one or more second noise amplitudes, that the implement has settled at the set position;
- and
- allowing, based on determining that the implement has settled at the set position, the implement to move to another position.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining a signal that includes a plurality of signal values associated with a component;
- identifying one or more first noise amplitudes associated with the signal;
- determining, based on the one or more first noise amplitudes, a noise band related to the signal;
- identifying one or more second noise amplitudes associated with the signal;
- determining, based on the noise band and the one or more second noise amplitudes, that the signal has settled at a particular signal value;
- and
- permitting, after determining that the signal has settled at a particular signal value, the component to move from a first position to a second position.
A method, comprising:
- causing an implement of a work machine to move to a set position;
- obtaining, after causing the implement to move to the set position, data related to the implement being at the set position;
- storing one or more data elements of the data in a data structure,
- wherein each data element is included in a respective entry in the data structure;
- identifying, based on a first set of entries of the data structure, one or more first noise amplitudes associated with the data;
- determining, based on the one or more first noise amplitudes, a noise band related to the implement being at the set position;
- identifying, based on a second set of entries of the data structure, one or more second noise amplitudes associated with the data,
- determining, based on the noise band and the one or more second noise amplitudes, that the implement has settled at the set position;
- and
- permitting, after determining that the implement has settled at the set position, the implement to move to another position.
