Methods and systems for supplying auxiliary electrical power to a controller during power loss are described hereinabove. The system is powered by a primary power source, and includes a controller and a winding load that are both powered by the primary power source, and a switching device. When the primary power source is disconnected from the controller and winding load, the winding load continues to residually exercise to generate residual electrical power. The second switching device then channels the residual electrical power to the controller for a period of time at an acceptable level.

Extended controller keep alive system and method

A multi-axle load vehicle has a tractor, a device supporting a load on the tractor and including an axially displaceable holder arranged on the tractor, a supporting plate arranged to support a load, and at least one pin supporting the supporting plate on the holder, and a device for determining a load acting upon the vehicle and including a sensor arranged in the pin composed of a magnetic material and operative for measuring a load and generating an electric signal corresponding thereto, and an indicating element arranged in a driver's cabin and operative for receiving the electrical signal and indicating the load.
