Abstract
An electronic display for an aerial device is provided. The electronic display replaces a traditional load chart including the operational parameters of the aerial device being used. The electronic display electrically connected with a computer control system connected to a sensor for collecting at least one piece of data relating to the operational parameters of the aerial device. The computer control system calculating the current operational parameter of the aerial device based on the at least one piece of data collected by the sensor and updating the operational parameters of the aerial device and displaying a graphical representation of the updated operational parameters on the electronic display.
Claims24
A controller for a multi-stance aerial device comprising:
- a control panel;
- an electronic display;
- a computer control system;
- and
- a sensor;
- wherein the computer control system receives a piece of data sensed by the sensor and generates a graphical representation of the current operational parameters of an aerial device that is displayed on the electronic display of the control panel.
A system for controlling a multi-stance aerial device comprising:
- a controller and a control panel having an electronic display for providing a graphical representation of a current operating ability of an aerial device;
- the electronic display electrically coupled to a computer control system that has a sensor that detects a piece of data about an operational parameter of the aerial device;
- and
- the computer control system generates the graphical representation of the current operational parameter of the aerial device.
A method for controlling a multi-stance aerial device comprising:
- calculating an operating ability of an aerial device with a computer control system based on a piece of data received from an aerial rotation sensor, an aerial elevation sensor, an aerial extension sensor, or a stabilizing sensor with a computer control system;
- displaying a graphical representation of the current operating ability of an aerial device on an electronic display.
