Abstract: Systems and methods of diagnosing a communication system within an industrial machine. The method includes receiving, from the industrial machine, communication system data of the communication system of the industrial machine and determining whether the received communication system data indicates an occurrence of a communication system issue. The method further includes determining whether the received communication system data includes one or more dismissive parameters in response to determining that the received communication system data indicates the occurrence of the communication system issue. The method also includes analyzing the received communication system data to determine whether a remote resolution to the communication system issue is available and transmitting the remote resolution to a user associated with the industrial machine in response to determining that the remote resolution to the communication system issue is available.

Abstract: An industrial machine diagnostic system includes a communication interface in communication with a database storing diagnostic information related to one or more industrial machines, a database storing user profile information, and a user device configured to transmit a diagnostic request for a machine. A data analysis and recommendation component is in communication with the communication interface and includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions.

Abstract: An engine shutdown system is provided that includes an engine control module (ECM) (12) having sensors (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 34, 36) that can activate an engine shutdown sequence. A set of redundant sensors (20?, 22?, 24?, 26?, 28?, 30?, 32?, 34?, 36?) and a redundant engine control module (RECM) (14) can also activate an engine shutdown sequence independent of the ECM. Engine operating parameters are monitored by sensors to determine if one of the engine parameters deviates from an acceptable level. If the engine control determines that a parameter has exceeded a predetermined level, an engine shutdown signal may be generated by either the ECM or RECM that may cut off the fuel supply, interrupt an ignition circuit, or activate external engine shutdown devices and may also activate alarm and message panels. A redundant engine shutdown system is also provided to disable the primary engine control unit.
