Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for preventing and mitigating collisions between components of an industrial machine. The industrial machine includes an electronic controller, having an electronic processor and a memory, that is configured to generate a virtual model of an exclusionary zone located on or near the industrial machine. The electronic controller is further configured to receive dipper position data indicative of a position of the dipper and determine a distance between the dipper the exclusionary zone based on the dipper position data. The electronic controller is further configured to set a motion command limit for a dipper motion based on the distance, the dipper motion being selected from a group of a swing motion, a crowd motion, and a hoist motion and control the dipper motion according to a dipper motion command limited by the motion command limit.
