Method for initiating start-up of an electrical system
First Claim
1. A start-up system of a work machine, comprising:
- a plurality of work machine components;
a plurality of data collection nodes, each data collection node configured to provide information corresponding to a current configuration of a respective work machine component; and
a status collection node in communication with the plurality of data collection nodes, the status collection node configured to;
receive information corresponding to the current configuration of each of the plurality of work machine components, compare the received information to information corresponding to a previous configuration of each of the plurality of work machine components, provide a data request signal if the received information is not substantially similar to the previous configuration of at least one of the plurality of work machine components, and provide a start-up signal if the received information is substantially similar to the previous configuration of each of the plurality of work machine components.

Abstract
A method for starting a work machine includes receiving information corresponding to a current configuration of at least one component of the work machine. The method also includes comparing the received information to information corresponding to a previous configuration of the at least one component. The method further includes providing a data request signal if the received information corresponding to the current configuration of the at least one component is not substantially similar to the information corresponding to the previous configuration of the at least one component. The method also includes providing a start-up signal if the received information is substantially similar to the information corresponding to the previous configuration of the at least one component.
