  • On-board computer system having two operating modes
    Patent number: 6856878
    Abstract: An on-board computer system for a work vehicle having an actuator. The computer system comprises an electronic control unit that is connected to and controls the actuator, a display unit and an input unit. The display unit displays operating parameters of the work vehicle. Through the input unit the operator inputs operating parameters of the work vehicle. The control unit transmits control signals to the actuator and can be operated selectively in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode. In the first operating mode the control unit displays a greater number of operating parameters that can be changed by the input unit than in the second operating mode.

  • Utility machine with portable control device
    Publication number: 20030161906
    Abstract: A utility machine having an actuator and a portable control device. The portable control device exchanges data with the actuator over a wireless data transmission arrangement and is equipped with an input arrangement and an output arrangement. The actuator can be influenced by the input arrangement of the control device. A sensor for measuring an operating parameter of the utility machine influenced by the actuator generates a measured value that can be transmitted over the wireless data transmission arrangement to the control device. The output arrangement can be operated to display an information that depends on the measured value of the sensor. Thereby the operator can carry on an interactive dialog with the utility machine over the control device.
