Serviceability strategy for machine control system

摘要

A system and method for controlling a machine is provided. For example, the method includes coupling removeably, at an on-board controller module of a machine, a first identification device, reading, using a reader in the on-board controller module, a code stored in the first identification device, receiving, at the on-board controller module, a wireless message including another code from a control console, comparing, using a processor in the on-board controller module, the code with the received another code, and processing, using a processor coupled to the reader, the wireless message based on the comparing to determine pairing with a second external wireless identification device of a control console to the machine if the code and the received another code match.

主权项

1. A control system, comprising:
a first and a second identification device storing a first and a second identification code, respectively; a control console; an on-board electronic controller module of a machine to which the first identification device is removeably coupled externally, the on-board electronic controller module comprising:
a first identification device reader to read the first identification code, anda first processor, coupled to the first identification device reader, configured to:
receive the first identification code from the first identification device reader,receive a first wireless message, including the second identification code, from the control console,compare the first and second identification codes, andprocess the first wireless message if the first and second identification codes match, wherein the control console comprises:
a second identification device reader to obtain the second identification code, anda second processor in the control console, coupled to the second identification device reader, configured to:
receive the second identification code from the second identification device reader,transmit the first wireless message, including the second identification code, to the on-board electronic controller module,receive a second wireless message, including information regarding whether the first and second identification codes match, from the on-board electronic controller module, andtransmit a third wireless message to control the machine if the first and the second identification codes match.
