Work Machine Having Modular Ignition Switch Keypad with Latching Output
First Claim
1. A work machine having a frame, an engine supported by the frame, a hydraulic system powered by the engine, a source of electrical power, and electrical systems which run on the electrical power, the work machine further comprising:
- an operator compartment supported on the frame;
an ignition system coupled to and controlling ignition of the engine;
a modular ignition switch keypad mounted to the work machine in the operator compartment, the modular ignition switch keypad having a latching output to control electrical power distribution to the electrical systems and to control ignition functions to turn on and turn off the engine, the modular ignition switch keypad comprising a start user input, a run user input, a stop user input and latching logic circuitry providing the latching output;
wherein the modular ignition switch keypad is configured such that actuation of the start user input causes the ignition system to start the engine, wherein the modular ignition switch keypad is configured such that actuation of the run user input causes the latching logic circuitry to toggle the latching output to a run state in which electrical power is provided to the electrical systems, and wherein the modular ignition switch keypad is configured such that actuation of the stop user input causes the latching logic circuitry to toggle the latching output to an off state in which electrical power is not provided to the electrical systems and in which the engine is turned off if running.

Abstract
A work machine having an engine, a hydraulic system powered by the engine, a source of electrical power, and electrical systems which run on the electrical power includes an ignition system and a modular ignition switch keypad to control the ignition system. The modular ignition keypad is mounted to the work machine in the operator compartment and generates a latching output to control electrical power distribution to the electrical systems and to control ignition functions to turn on and turn off the engine. The modular ignition switch keypad includes a start user input, a run user input, a stop user input and latching logic circuitry providing the latching output.
