Abstract: A method for determining cavitation in a pump is disclosed. The method includes detecting, by a sensor, a pressure of a fluid pumped by the pump and determining, by a controller, whether the pressure exceeds a pressure range. Cavitation is determined when the pressure exceeds the pressure range. The method includes selectively incrementing or decrementing, by the controller, a counter value of a counter based on determining whether the pressure exceeds the pressure range. The counter value is incremented when the pressure exceeds the pressure range, and decremented when the pressure does not exceed the pressure range. The method includes determining, by the controller, whether the counter value exceeds a threshold value, and generating, by the controller, an alert when the counter value exceeds the threshold value and causing, by the controller, the alert to be displayed via a display.

Abstract: A control system for a machine is disclosed. The control system may have a first cylinder operatively connected between a first side of a work tool and an undercarriage of the machine, a second cylinder operatively connected between a second side of the work tool and the undercarriage of the machine, and one or more electro-hydraulic valves configured to selectively regulate flow of pressurized fluid to the cylinders. The control system may also have a controller configured to determine a difference between a desired pitch of the work tool and an actual pitch of the work tool, and compare the difference to a threshold value. The controller may also be configured to move the one or more electro-hydraulic valves to change the flow of pressurized fluid to at least one of the first and second cylinders to adjust the actual pitch of the work tool to the desired pitch, based on the comparison.

Abstract: A control system for a construction machine is disclosed. The control system may comprise a controller configured to: receive work parameters associated with working of the worksite surface by a surface-working member; generate an edge-to-edge work plan of the worksite surface, the edge-to-edge work plan comprising a plurality of paths each having a center-line-of-travel, wherein one of the plurality of paths includes a first outer edge defined by a first boundary side and another includes a second outer edge defined by a second boundary side; and activate the construction machine to traverse the center-line-of travel of each of the plurality of paths. The plurality of paths may comprise a first path and a second path that includes a second path overlap-section that overlaps the first path, wherein a width of the second path overlap-section varies along a length of the second path.
