Abstract:
A first sensor detects a boom angle of a boom with respect to a support. An attachment is coupled to the boom. A second cylinder is associated with the attachment. A second sensor detects an attachment angle of the attachment with respect to the boom. An accelerometer detects an acceleration or deceleration of the boom. A switch accepts a command to enter a ready position state from another position state. A controller controls the first hydraulic cylinder to attain a boom angle within the target boom angular range and for controlling the second cylinder to attain an attachment angle within the target attachment angular range associated with the ready position state in response to the command in conformity with at least one of a desired boom motion curve and a desired attachment motion curve.
Abstract:
A method and system for automated operation of a work vehicle comprises a boom having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A first hydraulic cylinder is associated with the boom. A first sensor detects a boom angle of a boom with respect to a support near the first end. An attachment is coupled to the second end of the boom. A second sensor detects an attachment angle of attachment with respect to the boom. A second cylinder is associated with the attachment. A switch accepts a command to enter a ready position state from another position state. A controller controls the first hydraulic cylinder to attain a boom angle within the target boom angular range and for controlling the second cylinder to attain an attachment angle within a target attachment angular range associated with the ready position state in response to the command.
Abstract:
A first hydraulic cylinder is associated with a boom. A first sensor detects a boom angle of a boom with respect to a support (or a vehicle). An attachment is coupled to one end of the boom. A second hydraulic cylinder is associated with the attachment. A second sensor detects an attachment position of attachment based on a second linear position of a second movable member of the second hydraulic cylinder. An accelerometer detects an acceleration or deceleration of the boom. A switch is arranged to accept a command to move to a preset position from another position. A controller is capable of controlling the first hydraulic cylinder to attain a target boom position and for controlling the second cylinder to attain a target attachment position associated with the preset position in response to the command in conformity with at least one of a desired boom motion curve and a desired attachment motion curve.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved methods for processing requests and sending data in a bus architecture. The present invention further relates to an improved bus architecture for processing requests and data. There is provided a method for processing read requests in a bus architecture comprising at least one master device connected to at least two slave devices via a bus. The architecture comprises an allocator for allocating incoming requests from the master device to a target slave device and an optimiser for each slave device. Each optimiser is for buffering incoming requests for the respective slave device. The method comprising the steps of: a) the master device sending a read request for a first slave device to the bus; b) the allocator generating a current-state indicator associated with the read request. The current-state indicator has an initial value, The method further comprises c) the allocator generating a priority indicator associated with the read request; d) the allocator sending the read request, the current-state indicator and the priority indicator to the optimiser of the first slave device; e) the optimiser of the first slave device receiving the read request, the current-state indicator and the priority indicator. Finally, if the initial value of the current-state indicator equals the value of the priority indicator, the method comprises processing the read request; or if the initial value of the current-state indicator does not equal the value of priority indicator, the method comprises deferring processing of the read request until a later time.
