<p>A control system controls actuation of a hydraulic cylinder on a skid steer loader (10). The control system includes a movable element (44), such as a hand grip (44). The hand grip is intelligent in that each contains a microprocessor or other digital controller (47) which monitors user actuable elements (such as switches, buttons, paddles, etc. (45)). The controller (47) sends a communication signal to a main control computer (48). The communication signal is indicative of the state of the user actuable elements and is, in one embodiment, a serial communication signal.</p> |
