    摘要: A system and technique for determining functionality of a hydraulic system including first and second motors mutually coupled in driving relation with a pump, a sensor generating a signal representative of a monitored condition, and a controller configured to selectively control activation and deactivation of the motors. Fitness detection logic stored in memory of the controller is executable by a processor to: determine, based on the signal while the first motor is activated and second motor is deactivated during a first test interval, whether the monitored condition meets a predefined threshold prior to expiration of the first test interval; determine, based on the signal while the second motor is activated and first motor is deactivated during a second test interval, whether the monitored condition meets the predefined threshold prior to expiration of the second test interval; and generate a readiness signal representative of the determined functionality of the hydraulic system.

    摘要: A method of controlling a work machine having at least one wheel includes providing a controller, an operator control, and a steering system including a steering wheel position sensor, a road wheel angle sensor, a speed sensor, and a feedback device. The method includes detecting a change in steering wheel position via the steering wheel position device and a wheel speed of the at least one wheel via the speed sensor. A predicted lateral acceleration is calculated by the controller as a function of wheel speed and a feedback torque is determined by the controller as a function of the predicted lateral acceleration. The feedback torque is determined from a plurality of feedback torque curves stored by the controller, where each of the plurality of feedback torque curves corresponds to a sensitivity level selectable from the operator control. The feedback torque is commanded to the feedback device.
