A method and system for determining one or more desired communication services for an application. The method and system includes determining at least one application operating parameter, at least one communication operating parameter, at least one cost factor, and at least one value factor. The method and system further includes assigning a priority level to each application operating parameter, communication operating parameter, cost factor, and value factor. Additionally, the method and system includes comparing the priority levels to each other, and determining a desired communication service based on the compared priority levels.

A control system to dynamically control the operation of a work machine using information obtained from a remote entity includes a controller configured to determine a position of the work machine. The controller may also be configured to query a remote entity for information related to the position of the work machine. In addition, the controller may be configured to obtain the information in response to the query. The controller may also be configured to control at least one operation of the work machine based on the information received from the remote entity.

Systems and methods are provided for intelligently establishing a communication session between a machine and off-board system. In one implementation, a system for intelligently establishes a communication session. The system includes a machine communicating with a network and an off-board system that transmits a request for data from the machine over the network. The system also includes a communication server in communication with the machine and the off-board system via the network. The communication server determines whether hardware and a network connection to transmit the requested data and are available on-board the machine and determines whether the off-board system has authority to receive the requested data.

An apparatus is disclosed for controlling the propulsion and steering of a machine. The machine includes a hydrostatic system that drives a pair of ground engaging traction devices. An electronic controller receives operator signals indicative of a desired travel speed and direction, and determines a desired rotational speed of the ground engaging traction devices. The electronic controller produces command signals indicative of the determined speeds to regulate the speed of the ground engaging traction devices to the desired speed.

An apparatus for controlling a material feed system of a paver is disclosed. The material feed system includes a feeder conveyor and a spreader auger. The apparatus includes a sensor that monitors the amount of material at the edge of the screed and responsively produces an actual material height signal. A rotary switch produces a desired material height signal indicative of a desired amount of material at the edge of the screed. A controller receives the actual and desired material height signals, determines a desired rotational speed of the auger in response to the difference between the signal magnitudes, and produces a command signal to rotate the auger at the desired speed. An electrohydraulic system receives the command signal and rotates the auger at the desired rotational speed.

Methods and systems are provided for performing protocol conversions in an environment including a work machine having one or more modules coupled to one or more data links. Such methods and systems may leverage one or more gateways to perform tunneling, translating, and bridging operations. Tunneling processes may include receiving a message from a source module in a first protocol, encapsulating the message within transmission units of a second protocol, and transmitting the encapsulated message via the second protocol. Translating processes may include receiving, by the gateway, a message in a first data link protocol including a parameter identifier. The gateway may match the parameter identifier with a parameter identifier included in a translation table and scale associated parameter data using a scale factor corresponding to a second data link protocol. The gateway may then provide the scaled parameter data to a module using the second data link protocol.

A control device for operating a machine is disclosed. The control device includes a joystick having a central axis and being universally moveable along a first and second axis in a plane perpendicular to the central axis, and a rotatable operator control station that houses the joystick. A joystick position sensor senses the position of the joystick and responsively generates a set of operator command signals corresponding to the displacement and direction of the joystick from the central axis in the first and second axis. A operator station position sensor senses the rotational position of the operator station and responsively generates a position signal. A controller receives the operator command and position signals, and responsively transposes the function of the joystick axis to correspond to the orientation of the machine.

In one aspect of the present invention, a control system for a floating screed assembly for an asphalt paving machine is disclosed. The screed assembly includes a main screed and extension screed unit. An electrohydraulic device extends and retracts, as well as, raises and lowers the extension screed unit relative to the main screed unit. The electrohydraulic device additionally pivots the extension screed unit relative to the main screed unit about a horizontal axis. Position sensors produce position signals in response to the position of the extension screed unit. A controller receives the position signals and produces command signals to control the extending, retracting, and pivoting of the extension screed unit to a desired position.
