System and method for swing control
First Claim
1. A swing control assembly for a first machine, the swing control assembly comprising:
- a position detection module configured to generate a signal indicative of a relative position of a second machine with respect to the first machine; and
a controller communicably coupled to the position detection module, the controller configured to;
receive the signal indicative of the relative position of the second machine with respect to the first machine;
determine a direction of swing associated with the first machine based on the received signal of the relative position of the second machine with respect to the first machine;
provide an instruction to initiate a swing operation of the first machine based on the direction of swing;
determine if a loading operation is in progress by the first machine;
identify a current direction of swing of the first machine if the loading operation is in progress; and
provide, if the loading operation is in progress, an instruction to initiate a next swing operation of the first machine in a same direction as the current direction of swing.

Abstract
A swing control assembly for a first machine is provided. The swing control assembly includes a position detection module configured to generate a signal indicative of a relative position of a second machine with respect to the first machine. The swing control assembly includes a controller communicably coupled to the position detection module. The controller is configured to receive the signal indicative of the relative position of the second machine with respect to the first machine. The controller is configured to determine a direction of swing associated with the first machine based on the received signal. The controller is configured to provide an instruction to initiate a swing operation of the first machine based on the determined direction of swing.

11. A method for controlling a swing of a first machine, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a controller, a signal indicative of a relative position of a second machine with respect to the first machine; determining, by the controller, if the second machine is in a ready state; determining, by the controller and if the second machine is in the ready state, a direction of swing of the first machine based on the relative position of the second machine with respect to the first machine and the ready state; and providing, by the controller, an instruction to initiate a swing operation of the first machine based on the determined direction of swing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A machine comprising:
-
an engine; and a swing control assembly comprising; and a controller configured to; determine if the machine is performing a single-sided loading operation or a double-sided loading operation; identify a current direction of swing of the machine if the machine is performing the single-sided loading operation or the double-sided loading operation; and provide an instruction to initiate a swing operation based on the current direction of swing. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
