Abstract:
A construction machine includes at least one sensor unit which can assume different measuring states and at least one operating device spatially separated therefrom, with which a measuring state of the sensor unit is controllable. Additional controls are arranged at the at least one sensor unit, and the measuring state of the at least one sensor unit is controllable by both the at least one operating device as well as by the controls at the at least one sensor unit. A method for controlling at least one sensor unit, which can assume different measuring states, on a construction machine is also provided. The method includes controlling the measuring state of the at least one sensor unit both by at least one operating device spatially separated from the at least one sensor unit, and by controls attached to the at least one sensor unit itself.
Abstract:
A construction machine includes a sensor unit having a measurement range. The sensor unit is variable in its orientation relative to the construction machine, whereby position or orientation of the measurement range relative to the construction machine is also variable. The sensor unit is configured for detecting position of an external reference. The construction machine further includes a setup assistance system including a display configured to indicate to an operator while the sensor unit is oriented relative to the reference in which direction the sensor unit has to be moved in order for the reference to be located in the measurement range. The sensor unit is configured to detect a position of the reference relative to the sensor unit in at least two dimensions, and the display is configured to display the position of the reference relative to the measurement range for the at least two detected dimensions simultaneously.
