Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media for controlling a digging operation of an industrial machine. A method includes determining a hoist bail pull associated with the industrial machine, determining a crowd torque limit value for a crowd drive based on the determined hoist bail pull of the industrial machine, and setting a crowd torque limit of the crowd drive to the crowd torque limit value to limit a torque associated with a crowd motor to the crowd torque limit value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An industrial machine comprising: a dipper; a crowd drive configured to provide a control signal to a crowd actuator, the crowd actuator operable to provide a crowd force to the dipper to produce a crowd motion; and a controller connected to the crowd drive, the controller configured to determine a hoist force acting on the dipper, determine a crowd force limit value based on the determined hoist force, the crowd force limit value being determined as…
