Abstract
An industrial machine comprising a chassis, a cutting head supported by the chassis, and a controller. In one embodiment, the controller, having an electronic processor and memory, is configured to receive an input via an operator, indicating at least one selected from a group consisting of a desired volume of a material to be mined and a desired weight of the material to be mined, determine a sump depth of the cutting head based on the input, and control the industrial machine based on the sump depth.
Claims20
An industrial machine comprising:
- a chassis;
- a cutting head supported by the chassis;
- and
- a controller, having an electronic processor and a memory, the controller configured to
- receive, via a user interface of the industrial machine, a user input indicating at least one selected from a group consisting of a desired volume of a material to be mined and a desired weight of the material to be mined,
- determine a sump depth of the cutting head based on the user input, and
- control the industrial machine based on the sump depth.
A method of controlling an industrial machine, the method comprising:
- receiving, via a user interface of the industrial machine, a user input indicating at least one selected from a group consisting of a desired volume of a material to be mined and a desired weight of the material to be mined,
- determining, using a controller of the industrial machine, a sump depth of the cutting head based on the user input, and
- controlling, using the controller, the industrial machine based on the sump depth.
