Abstract
A vehicle has a working component and a user-operable control device for controlling the working component. A method is used for controlling the working component by determining a first speed demand dependent on a first current operating range of the user-operable control device out of first and second operating ranges, and controlling a speed of a first motion drive connected with the working component according to the first speed demand. The first speed demand changes in a first discrete step in response to a movement of the user-operable control device from the first operating range to the second operating range.
Claims17
An agricultural machine, comprising:
- a working component;
- a first motion drive for adjusting a position of the working component;
- operator controls with a user-operable control device moveable in a first control direction from a first operating range to a second operating range;
- and
- a control unit configured to
- determine a first speed demand dependent on a first current operating range of the user-operable control device out of the first and second operating ranges;
- control the speed of the first motion drive according to the first speed demand;
- wherein
- the first speed demand changes in a first discrete step in response to a movement of the user-operable control device from the first operating range to the second operating range.
