Method and system for identifying sensors on machines

A system for identifying a sensor among a plurality of identical sensors on a machine, the system comprising:

• a controller configured to:
• compare a unique value of a parameter detected by the sensor with a predefined value of the parameter, the unique value of the parameter being detected in a predefined stationary state of at least one part of a plurality of parts of the machine;
• and
• associate the unique value of the parameter detected by the sensor with the at least one part when the unique value of the parameter matches with the predefined value of the parameter,
• wherein the predefined value of the parameter corresponds to a value of the parameter attained by the at least one part in the predefined stationary state of the at least one part, the predefined value of the parameter being a range of orientation angle.

A machine comprising:

• a plurality of parts;
• a plurality of identical sensors positioned on the plurality of parts;
• and
• a system for identifying a sensor among the plurality of identical sensors, the system including:
• a controller configured to:
• compare a unique value of a parameter detected by the sensor with a predefined value of the parameter, the unique value of the parameter being detected in a predefined stationary state of at least one part of the plurality of parts of the machine;
• and
• associate the unique value of the parameter detected by the sensor with the at least one part when the unique value of the parameter matches with the predefined value of the parameter,
• wherein the predefined value of the parameter corresponds to a value of the parameter attained by the at least one part in the predefined stationary state of the at least one part, the predefined value of the parameter being a range of orientation angle.
