Abstract
In a construction machine including a control unit for receiving operating signals from operating members and outputting operation commands to actuators, by using a monitor and control levers, correlations between the control levers or switches and the actuators, i.e., an input/output relationship between any of the control levers and corresponding one of electro-hydraulic conversion valves, can be freely set. The set input/output relationships are registered in a memory in a rewritable manner.
Claims20
A construction machine comprising a plurality of actuators, a plurality of operating members for operating said actuators, and a control unit for receiving operating signals from said operating members and outputting operation commands to said actuators, wherein said control unit is connected to setting means for setting an input/output correlation between any of said plurality of operating members and any of said plurality of actuators, and said control unit includes a memory for storing in a rewritable manner the input/output correlation set by said setting means.
A method of setting operation commands, comprising the steps of:
- (a) turning on a pattern setting switch;
- (b) manipulating an operating member in a desired direction;
- (c) assigning an input/output correlation between desired direction and a desired actuator;
- (d) setting an input/output correlation between each operating member and each corresponding desired actuator;
- and
- (e) storing the input/output correlation.
A construction machine, comprising:
- (a) means for turning on a pattern setting switch;
- (b) means for manipulating an operating member in a desired direction;
- (c) means for assigning an input/output correlation between desired direction and a desired actuator;
- (d) means for setting an input/output correlation between each operating member and each corresponding desired actuator;
- and
- (e) means for storing the input/output correlation.
