Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An industrial machine that includes a dipper, a user interface, a sensor, a hoist actuator, and a controller. The user interface is operable to generate a first signal related to a requested characteristic of the industrial machine. The sensor is operable to generate a second signal related to an actual characteristic of the industrial machine. The hoist actuator has at least one operating parameter. The controller is configured to receive the first signal related to the actual characteristic, receive the second signal related to the requested characteristic, compare the requested characteristic to the actual characteristic to detect a dipper drop condition, and modify a setting of the at least one operating parameter of the hoist actuator after the dipper drop condition is detected. The dipper drop condition is detected after the requested characteristic does not match the actual characteristic
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An industrial machine comprising: a dipper; a user interface operable to generate a first signal related to a requested direction of dipper movement based on an operator input; a sensor operable to generate a second signal related to an actual direction of dipper movement; a hoist actuator having a hoist force operating parameter; and a controller including a processor and executable instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium, t…
