Earth moving machine

A method of operating a computer to automatically produce production control software for a natural gas engine controller or a diesel engine controller is provided. The method includes the steps of (1) as a function of user input, defining a set specifications of the controller; and (2) producing control software to operate the controller as defined by the specifications.

Method for producing production control software for a natural gas or diesel engine controller

A method of operating a computer to produce control software for a hydraulic system is provided. The hydraulic system includes a pump, at least one valve, a motor and an electronic controller. The method includes the steps of defining a set of valve features of the electronic controller as a function of user input; and producing control software to operate the controller as specified by said set of valve features.

Method for programming hydraulic implement control system

A method of operating a computer to automatically produce production control software for a natural gas engine controller (104) on a machine is provided. The controller (104) is adapted to control a natural gas engine (106). The method includes the steps of (1) as a function of user input, defining a set of controller (104); and (2) producing control software to operate the controller (104) as defined by the specifications.

Method for producing production control software for a natural gas

A method of operating a computer to automatically produce control software for an information manager on a machine is provided. The information manager is adapted to display information relating to the machine. The method includes the steps of (1) as a function of operator input, defining a set of information manager specifications; and (2) producing control software to operate the information manager as specified by said specifications.

Method for programming a vehicle monitoring and control system

An electronic control for controlling a high idle set value of equipment having an engine is disclosed. The control includes an electronic controller electrically connected to a rocker switch comprising a high idle switch and a low idle switch. An engine speed sensor and a decelerator pedal position sensor are electrically connected to the electronic controller. The electronic control permits the equipment operator to program a desired high idle set point value. The control thereafter produces an engine speed command based on the high idle set point value. A decelerator pedal is provided to permit the equipment operator to reduce the engine speed command value below the high idle set point value.
