Abstract
A method for identifying a sensor among as plurality of identical sensors on a machine is disclosed. The method includes comparing, by a controller, a unique value of a parameter detected by the sensor with a predefined value of the parameter. The unique value of the parameter is detected in a predefined stationary state of at least one part of a plurality of parts of the machine. The method further includes associating, by the controller, the unique value of the parameter detected by the sensor with the at least one part when the unique value of the parameter matches with the predefined value of the parameter. The predefined value of the parameter corresponds to a value of the parameter attained by the at least one part in the predefined stationary state of the at least one part.
