Abstract
The invention relates to a milling machine, in particular a road milling machine, a stabiliser, a recycler or a surface miner, comprising a drive means which is configured such that the milling machine performs translatory and/or rotatory movements on the ground, and a working means which is configured such that the ground is machined. The invention also relates to a method for operating a milling machine of this type. The milling machine according to the invention has a control unitto input drive parameters and work parameters. The control unitis distinguished by a selection unitC to select an operating mode from a plurality of operating modes. The control and processing unithas a memoryA which stores at least one predetermined drive parameter which is assigned to the operating mode, and/or at least one predetermined work parameter which is assigned to the operating mode, for each operating mode of the plurality of operating modes. The control and processing unitis configured such that at least one assemblyof the drive means and working means is controlled subject to the at least one drive parameter or work parameter which is stored in the memoryA for the operating mode selected using the selection unitC, such that the particular machine function is carried out. The milling machine further provides that at least one function which describes the dependence of a work parameter of one assembly on a drive parameter of another assembly is stored for each operating mode, the control and processing unitbeing configured such that, based on this function, at least one assembly of the working means or drive means is controlled such that the particular machine function is carried out.
