Abstract
A metric priority is accessed, which identifies a priority of a plurality of different control metrics that are used in controlling an agricultural implement. Control signals are generated to control the implement to bring the metrics within corresponding predefined ranges in descending order of priority.
Claims20
A method of controlling an operation performed by an agricultural implement and a support vehicle, comprising:
- receiving a set of metric setting operator inputs that identify a priority of each of a plurality of different metrics, used to control operation of the agricultural implement, relative to other metrics in the plurality of metrics;
- and
- performing control actions to control the agricultural implement to keep values, corresponding at least some of the plurality of metrics, in descending order of priority, within a target range of a corresponding target value for each of the plurality of metrics.
An agricultural implement control system, comprising:
- priority setting logic that receives a set of priority setting operator inputs that identify a priority of each of a plurality of different metrics, used to control operation of the agricultural implement, relative to other metrics in the plurality of metrics;
- and
- priority control logic that performs control actions to control the agricultural implement to keep values, corresponding at least some of the plurality of metrics, in descending order of priority, within a target range of a corresponding target value for each of the plurality of metrics.
An agricultural implement control system, comprising:
- metric setting logic that receives a set of metric setting operator inputs that identify a set of a plurality of metrics used to control operation of the agricultural implement, a target value corresponding to each of the plurality of metrics, and a metric priority that identifies a priority of each metric relative to other metrics in the plurality of metrics;
- priority control logic that identifies control actions to take to preferentially bring a value for a higher priority metric within a corresponding target range of the target value corresponding to the higher priority metric, relative to a lower priority metric;
- and
- control signal generator logic that generates control signals to control controllable subsystems to implement the identified control actions.
