Abstract: A method for unloading a payload at a loading station includes selecting the payload to be unloaded from different payloads and registering a total target quantity of the selected payload to be unloaded at the loading station as a target quantity unit, a current total quantity of the selected payload that has already been unloaded at the loading station as an actual quantity unit, a number of already performed unloading procedures corresponding to a quantity of the selected payload that has already been unloaded at the loading station, or a difference between the target quantity unit and the actual quantity unit.

Abstract: A control device of a vehicle suspension has a suspension device mounted between a supporting vehicle structure and a vehicle part that is movably mounted. The control device includes a blocking device for blocking a compression or rebound motion occurring at the suspension device in correspondence with a blocking command transmitted to a control unit. The control unit determines a characteristic weight value for a current loading of the suspension device when the blocking command is set and stores it as a pertinent value in a memory unit. The control unit determines a value for the weight when the blocking command is reset in order to cancel a blocking of the suspension device according to the result of a comparison with the value stored in the memory unit.

Abstract: A loader includes a tool carrier arranged on a loader boom. The tool carrier is connected at a first pivot point to the loader boom and at a second pivot point to a pivot linkage. The pivot linkage has first and second links which are pivotably connected to one another at a first link point. The first link is pivotably connected at a second link point to the loader boom, and the second link is pivotably connected at a second link point at the second pivot point to the tool carrier. A sensor senses a pivot angle between the tool carrier and loader boom. The sensor is positioned in a cavity on the loader. An actuating device is connected to the sensor.

Abstract: An identification system is provided for a vehicle-implement system wherein a selected one of a plurality of different implements is coupled to the vehicle. Each of the plurality of implements has a unique corresponding component or actuator. A component sensor senses a condition of the component, such as the position of the piston of a hydraulic cylinder. The sensor generates a sensor signal which has a signal characteristic (such as a frequency) which has a plurality of values. each frequency value is unique to a corresponding one of the components. A signal processing unit receives the sensor signal and identifies the selected implement as a function of the value of the characteristic of the sensor signal.

Abstract: A valve control device for a vehicle, in particular, an agricultural, commercial vehicle, comprises a control unit for the control of an electromagnetically actuatable valve, wherein the control unit, upon activation of a self-calibration mode, requests an identification feature correlated with the electromagnetically valve, determines a valve type corresponding to the requested identification feature, and selects a control algorithm correlated with the determined valve type to control the electromagnetically actuatable valve. In accordance with the invention, the identification feature is a characteristic actuating distance of an actuating unit provided for the electromagnetic actuation of the valve.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a loader having a loader boom and a tool carrier or a tool arranged on the loader boom. The tool carrier or the tool is connected at a first pivot point to the loader boom and at a second pivot point to a pivot linkage. The pivot linkage has first and second links which are pivotably connected to one another at a first link point. The first link is pivotably connected at a second link point to the loader boom. The second link is pivotably connected at a second link point at the second pivot point to the tool carrier or to the tool. A sensor is provided by means of which a pivot angle between the tool carrier or tool and loader boom can be detected. To protect the sensor in as effective a manner as possible, the sensor is positioned in a cavity on the loader. An actuating device is provided for the sensor, which extends partially through an opening formed on the cavity and connects the sensor to the pivot linkage.
