MACHINE POWER CONTROL WITH RATIO INCREASE
First Claim
1. A control system for a machine having a power source configured to provide power, a number of implements including a work implement, configured to provide operations, and a number of power transmitting paths configurable to selectively make power available to the implements to perform operations, the control system including:
- a control arrangement configured to;
regulate the power source to provide a first level of available power;
configure a first power transmitting path to make a percentage A1 of said first level of power available to provide a first operation;
configure a second power transmitting path to make a percentage A2 of said first level of power available to provide a second operation, at least the second operation being a work operation;
increase said first level of available power of said power source to a second level of available power;
configure the first power transmitting path to make a percentage B1 of said second level of available power available to provide said first operation, andconfigure the second power transmitting path to make a percentage B2 of said second level of power available to provide said second operation, such that the ratio B2/B1 is greater than the ratio A2/A1.

Abstract
A control system for a machine having a power source configured to provide power, a number of implements including a work implement, configured to provide operations, and a number of power transmitting paths configurable to selectively make power available to the implements to perform operations. The control system may include a control arrangement configured to regulate the power source to provide a first level of available power, to configure a first power transmitting path to make a percentage A1 of said first level of power available to provide a first operation, and to configure a second power transmitting path to make a percentage A2 of said first level of power available to provide a second operation, at least the second operation being a work operation. The control arrangement may further be configured to increase said first level of available power of said power source to a second level of available power, to configure the first power transmitting path to make a percentage B1 of said second level op power available to provide said first operation, and to configure the second power transmitting path to make a percentage B2 of said second level of power available to provide said second operation, such that the ratio B2/B1 is greater than the ratio A2/A1.

10. A method of controlling a machine comprising:
-
providing a first level of available power; using a percentage A1 of said first level of available power to provide a first operation; using a percentage A2 of said first level of available power to provide a second operation, at least the second operation being a work operation; increasing said first level of available power to a second level of available power; using a percentage B1 of said second level of available power to provide said first operation, and using a percentage B2 of said second level of available power to provide said second operation such that the ratio B2/B1 is greater than the ratio A2/A1. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
