Control system having automatic component software management

A computer-implemented method of managing a software version of a software driven component for a machine, comprising:

• analyzing, by one or more processors on a data system controller, the software driven component for at least one of a software and hardware version mismatch;
• sending a notification to a data system located off-board the machine when a mismatched software is detected;
• determining, using the one or more processors, a current software update;
• deriving, using the one or more processors, a software calibration file from the current software update;
• transmitting the software calibration file;
• and
• installing, using the one or more processors, the software calibration file on the software driven component.

A control system for a machine, comprising:

• a software driven component;
• a data system controller in communication with the software driven component and configured to automatically collect information comprising at least one of a software and hardware version of the software driven component;
• a data system located off-board the machine;
• and
• a data system controller located on-board the machine in communication with the software driven component, the data system controller and the data system located off-board the machine, the data system controller being configured to:
• detect a software and hardware mismatch;
• send a mismatch notification to the data system located off-board the machine;
• determine a current software update;
• derive, from the current software update, a software calibration file;
• transmit the software calibration file;
• determine whether the machine is in a non-operational state;
• and
• install the software calibration file on the software driven component when the machine is in the non-operational state.
