Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an industrial machine. One system includes a controller that includes an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to calculate an eccentricity of a center of gravity of the industrial machine with respect to a center of a bearing propelling the industrial machine and calculate a ground pressure associated with the bearing based on the eccentricity of the center of gravity. The electronic processor is also configured to set a maximum torque applied by an actuator included in the industrial machine to a value less than an available maximum torque based on the eccentricity of the center of gravity and the ground pressure.

The liner system includes a first guide member and a second guide member coupled to a surface of the dipper, wherein the first and second guide members and the surface of the dipper define a channel extending along the dipper, and wherein the liner system further includes an insert disposed at least partially within the channel that is inhibited from moving away from the surface of the dipper by a portion of the first guide member.

Abstract: A system for controlling the operation of an industrial machine during crowd runaway conditions. The system includes a controller that monitors and compares an actual crowd system state (e.g., an actual dipper position) with a requested crowd system state (e.g., a requested dipper position from the operator). If the controller determines that the crowd system is behaving contrary to requested crowd system behavior, the controller adjusts a crowd parameter, such as a crowd motor torque, to resolve the runaway condition.

Abstract: An industrial machine that includes a dipper, a crowd actuation device, a hoist actuation device, a swing actuation device, one or more sensors, and a controller. The one or more sensors generate one or more signals related to a load within the dipper. The one or more signals are received by the controller. The controller determines, based on the one or more signals, whether the industrial machine is operating in an over-loaded condition by comparing a suspended load to a suspended load threshold value. If the suspended load is greater or equal to the suspended load threshold value, the controller takes an action to control the industrial machine. The action taken by the controller can include increasing, decreasing, or otherwise modifying a speed parameter or speed limit, increasing, decreasing, or otherwise modifying a force parameter, etc.

Abstract: An industrial machine that includes a dipper, a hoist drum, a wire rope connected between the hoist drum and the dipper, a hoist motor, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor generates a signal related to a number of wire wraps of the wire rope around the hoist drum, which is received by the controller. The controller determines, based on the signal from the sensor, the number of wire wraps around the hoist drum. If the controller determines that there are an insufficient number of dead wraps around the hoist drum, the controller sets one or more parameters of the hoist motor. The controller sets each of the one or more parameters of the hoist motor to a value that is lower than a normal operational value for the parameter.
