Patent number: 9957690Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media for controlling the operation of an industrial machine including one or more components. A method of controlling the industrial machine includes determining a position of at least one of the one or more components of the industrial machine during a digging operation, determining a hoist bail pull setting based on the position of the at least one of the one or more components and a relationship between component position and hoist bail pull, and setting a level of hoist bail pull to the hoist bail pull setting. The level of hoist bail pull early in the digging operation is greater than the level of hoist bail pull later in the digging operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Harnischfeger Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Colwell, William Powers, John Burant
