System for work cycle detection

摘要

A payload control system includes a tool position sensor, a boom lift sensor, and a boom swing sensor. A controller is configured to determine a segment of a work cycle based upon the tool position, the boom lift, and the boom swing signal, and determine a payload moved by the tool during the segment of the work cycle.

1. A payload control system comprising:
a tool position sensor system configured to provide a tool position signal indicative of a position of a tool; a boom lift sensor system configured to provide a boom lift signal indicative of a boom lifting velocity; a boom swing sensor system configured to provide a boom swing signal indicative of a boom swinging velocity; and a controller configured to: receive the tool position signal; receive the boom lift signal; receive the boom swing signal; determine a position of the tool based upon the tool position signal; determine a boom lifting velocity based upon the boom lift signal; determine a boom swinging velocity based upon the boom swing signal; determine a beginning of a swing-to-dump segment of a work cycle of the tool based at least in part upon the tool being in a tool carry position, the boom lifting velocity exceeding a predetermined lift velocity, and the boom swinging velocity exceeding a predetermined swing velocity; and determine a payload moved by the tool during the swing-to-dump segment of the work cycle.
