  • Patent number: 10730390
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (10) for controlling industrial or all-terrain vehicle functions, which comprises data processing means (20), such as a computer, and a plurality of devices (10a-10g) for controlling industrial or all-terrain vehicle functions. The control devices are arranged in a network with the data processing means (20) according to a master-slave model, and each control device comprises at least one first control member (3a) sensitive to contact and connectors (2), a computing circuit (1) with at least one data processing unit (MC), a memory in which is stored a unique identifier associated with said control device, and at least one first control state visualization member (4a). The data processing means (20) are configured to transmit to each identified control device (10a-10g) a request to obtain a feedback of information from the associated processing unit.
