Abstract
A speed control system having an operator actuable switch assembly providing a single multiplexed output. Decoding of a single momentary switch generates a standby mode when the speed control system is in the control mode, and generates a resume mode when the speed control system is in the standby mode. The decoding also provides the speed control system with the appropriate operator actuable commands only after all switches of the switch assembly are concurrently detected in a neutral or idle position.
