Monitoring equipment for an agricultural machine
First Claim
1. Monitoring equipment for an agricultural machine, comprising a process computer provided on the agricultural machine, a sensor sensing operational characteristics of the agricultural machine and submitting data containing information about the sensed characteristics to the process computer, and a communication interface connected to the process computer which is arranged to send fault messages to a station remote from the agricultural machine, wherein the process computer is operable to identify a fault from the data provided by the sensor and to submit a fault message to the communication interface, wherein the fault message comprises fault information identifying a type of the fault.
