Abstract
The present invention provides a control apparatus which includes a load predicting part configured to predict, based on current load information of an engine rpm controlling part, a load of the engine rpm controlling part at a time point which is a predetermined time ahead of the present time point, the engine rpm controlling part being configured to control an engine rpm; and an engine rpm reducing part configured to reduce the engine rpm if the load predicted by the load predicting part is greater than or equal to a first threshold.
Claims9
A control apparatus, comprising:
- a load predicting part configured to predict, based on current load information of an engine rpm controlling part, a load of the engine rpm controlling part at a time point which is a predetermined time ahead of the present time point, the engine rpm controlling part being configured to control an engine rpm;
- and
- an engine rpm reducing part configured to reduce the engine rpm if the load predicted by the load predicting part is greater than or equal to a first threshold.
A control system comprising an engine rpm controlling apparatus configured to control an engine rpm and a control apparatus configured to transmit the engine rpm to the engine rpm controlling apparatus, wherein
- the engine rpm controlling apparatus includes a load determining part configured to determine the current load of the engine rpm controlling apparatus, and
- the controlling apparatus includes
- a load predicting part configured to predict, based on the current load information received from the engine rpm controlling apparatus, a load of the engine rpm controlling apparatus at a time point which is a predetermined time ahead of the present time point;
- and
- an engine rpm reducing part configured to select the engine rpm which is less than the current engine rpm if the load predicted by the load predicting part is greater than or equal to a first threshold.
