IMPLEMENT AND BOOM HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) based control system is provided for positioning a working component relative to a work surface. Inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, are mounted on the working component and provide positioning signals to a control compute engine. A method of positioning a working component relative to a work surface using GNSS-based positioning signals is also disclosed.

1. A control system for controlling the position of a working component relative to a work surface, which system includes:
a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) based positioning control subsystem; an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor mounted on the working component and connected to the control subsystem; a sensor associated with one or more of said nodes and adapted for providing output comprising signal data corresponding to an operating or status condition; and said control subsystem being configured for positioning said working component relative to said work surface based on preprogrammed positioning parameters.
