Method and system for monitoring a rotatable implement of a machine

A system for monitoring an implement of a machine, the system comprising:

• one or more implement sensors configured to monitor one or more implement parameters associated with the implement;
• one or more object detection modules configured to detect at least one object proximal to the machine and generate a signal including position data associated with the at least one object;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled to the one or more implement sensors and the one or more object detection modules, the controller being configured to:
• receive the one or more implement parameters associated with the implement, from the one or more implement sensors;
• determine a range of movement of the implement based on the one or more implement parameters;
• detect, using the one or more object detection modules, that at least one object is located within the range of movement of the implement based on the position data associated with the at least one object;
• display, on a display device associated with the machine, a visual representation of the determined range of movement of the implement with a visual indication indicative of the at least one object located within the range of movement;
• detect one or more changes to at least one implement parameter of the one or more implement parameters;
• determine an updated range of movement based on the detected one or more changes;
• determine, using the one or more object detection modules, whether the at least one object is located within the updated range of movement of the implement;
• and
• display, on the display device, a visual representation of the updated range of movement of the implement with an updated visual indication indicative of whether the at least one object is located within the updated range of movement.

A machine comprising:

• an implement;
• one or more implement sensors configured to monitor one or more implement parameters associated with the implement;
• one or more object detection modules configured to detect at least one object proximal to the machine and generate a signal including position data associated with the at least one object, the position data including a distance between the machine and the at least one object;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled to the one or more implement sensors and the one or more object detection modules, the controller being configured to:
• receive the one or more implement parameters associated with the implement, from the one or more implement sensors;
• determine a range of movement of the implement based on the one or more implement parameters;
• detect, using the one or more object detection modules, whether at least one object is located within the range of movement of the implement based on the position data associated with the at least one object;
• display, on a display device associated with the machine, a visual representation of the determined range of movement of the implement with a visual indication indicative of whether the at least one object located within the range of movement of the implement;
• detect one or more changes to at least one implement parameter of the one or more implement parameters;
• determine an updated range of movement of the implement based on the detected one or more changes;
• determine, using the one or more object detection modules, whether the at least one object is located within the updated range of movement of the implement;
• and
• display, on the display device, a visual representation of the updated range of movement of the implement with an updated visual indication indicative of whether the at least one object is located within the updated range of movement of the implement.
