VEHICLE CONTROL MODULE WITH SIGNAL SWITCHBOARD AND INPUT TABLES

摘要

A module capable of operating on one of first and second vehicles includes an input table having a superset of input elements, with a first subset of input elements related to a first set of hardware devices on the first vehicle and a second subset related to a second set of hardware devices on the second vehicle. The module includes at least one configuration table with configuration elements corresponding to ones of the superset of input elements, wherein each configuration element has data related to transforming a value associated with an input element. The module includes vehicle function input elements related to function inputs utilized on the vehicles; and structure for determining a value of an input element corresponding to a function input element, transforming the value to a transformed value and linking the transformed value with the corresponding function input element.

1. A computer-based vehicle control module capable of operating on one of first and second materials handling vehicles comprising:
a module input table comprising a superset of module input elements,
wherein the superset of module input elements comprises a first subset of input elements related to a first set of hardware devices provided on the first vehicle and a second subset of module input elements related to a second set of hardware devices provided on the second vehicle; at least one configuration table comprising respective configuration elements corresponding to ones of the superset of module input elements,
wherein each respective configuration element comprises data related to effect a transformation of a value associated with the corresponding module input element of the module input table; vehicle function input elements related to vehicle function inputs utilized on the first vehicle and the second vehicle; and structure for determining a value associated with a module input element of the module input table corresponding to a vehicle function input element, transforming the value to a transformed value and linking the transformed value with the corresponding vehicle function input element.
