Abstract
An information system for an industrial vehicle comprises an electronic component on the industrial vehicle that is programmably configured to obtain data by communicating across a vehicle network bus of the industrial vehicle with at least one other component of the industrial vehicle. The information system also comprises memory that stores industrial vehicle information according to a mapping specified by a data object model. Moreover, a processor on the industrial vehicle is programmed to repeatedly perform a cyclically recurring operation that extracts at least a portion of the industrial vehicle information stored in the memory device as broadcast information, generates at least one broadcast message representing the extracted broadcast information, and transmits the generated at least one broadcast message on the vehicle network bus. Accordingly, the entire contents of the broadcast information are repeatedly transmitted across the vehicle network bus in a cyclically recurring manner.
