  • Method and system for calibrating desirable engine speed for power take-off operations
    Patent number: 11840972
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of calibrating a desirable engine speed for power take-off (PTO) operation. In particular, the present invention discloses having an instrument cluster unit (ICU) (102) that allows an operator to select a fourth desirable speed value for PTO operation, and a signal actuating module (SAM) (104) that may be configured to receive the value from the ICU (102) and store the value in its memory. Further, the present invention describes having a common power-train control unit (CPC) connected to the SAM (104) and configured to receive the desirable speed value from the SAM (104), and in response, modify one or more engine parameters to attain the desirable speed value for operating an engine PTO.
