Abstract: A system for maintaining the operation of a work vehicle comprises a processing element in communication with a memory element. The processing element is configured to execute software components including a device abstraction layer component, a plurality of application programming interface components, a plurality of common machine layer components, and a state manager component. The device abstraction layer component is configured to send data to and receive data from physical components of the work vehicle. The application programming interface components are configured to adjust the data. The common machine layer components are each configured to provide control and monitoring of a physical component. The state manager component is configured to monitor a state of each common machine layer component.
