Abstract
A control system for a machine having an implement and a transmission system is provided. The control system includes a wheel speed sensor and a controller. The wheel speed sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a wheel speed. The controller is in communication with the wheel speed sensor. The controller is configured to modulate a parameter of a power source based, at least in part, on a position of the implement of the machine, in response to an occurrence of a wheel slip condition.
Claims35
A control system for a machine having an implement and a transmission system, the control system comprising:
- a wheel speed sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a wheel speed;
- and
- a controller in communication with the wheel speed sensor, the controller configured to modulate a parameter of a power source based, at least in part, on a position of the implement of the machine, in response to an occurrence of a wheel slip condition.
A method for controlling a machine having an implement and a transmission, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal indicative of a wheel speed from a wheel speed sensor;
- and
- modulating a parameter of a power source based, at least in part, on a position of the implement, in response to an occurrence of a wheel slip condition.
A machine comprising:
- a power source coupled to a transmission;
- at least one axle operably coupled to the transmission,
- at least one wheel coupled to the at least one axle;
- an implement for performing one or more desired operations;
- and
- a control system including:
- a wheel speed sensor coupled with the at least one wheel, wherein the wheel speed sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a wheel speed;
- and
- a controller in communication with the wheel speed sensor, the controller configured to modulate a parameter of a power source based, at least in part, on a position of the implement of the machine, in response to an occurrence of a wheel slip condition.
A computer based system for controlling a machine having an implement and a transmission system, the computer based system comprising:
- a communication interface communicating with a memory;
- the memory configured to communicate with a processor;
- and
- the processor, in response to executing a computer program, performs operations comprising:
- receiving a signal indicative of a wheel speed from a wheel speed sensor;
- and
- modulating a parameter of a power source, based at least in part on a position of the implement, in response to an occurrence of a wheel slip condition.
