System for remotely controlling a machine

摘要

A system for remotely controlling a machine includes a remote input device, a transmitter remote from the machine, and a receiver at the machine. A controller is configured to store a desired communications threshold, receive input commands from the remote input device, generate a plurality of remote control input signals based upon the input commands, and transmit the plurality of remote control input signals at a location remote from the machine. The controller is further configured to receive at least some of the plurality of remote control input signals at the machine, determine a communications parameter based upon at least one of the plurality of remote control input signals, compare the communications parameter to the desired communications threshold, and generate a command to stop the machine if the communications parameter is outside the desired communications threshold.

1. A system for remotely controlling a machine comprising:
a remote input device located remote from the machine for generating input commands: a transmitter remote from the machine for transmitting a plurality of remote control input signals; a receiver at the machine for receiving the plurality of remote control input signals; and a controller configured to:
store a desired percentage of signals received threshold, the percentage of signals received threshold being less than 100 percent;receive the input commands from the remote input device;generate the plurality of remote control input signals based upon the input commands;transmit the plurality of remote control input signals at a location remote from the machine;receive the plurality of remote control input signals at the machine;determine a percentage of signals received based upon the plurality of remote control input signals;compare the percentage of signals received to the desired percentage of signals received threshold; andgenerate a command to stop the machine when the percentage of signals received is less than the desired percentage of signals received threshold.
