SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING VEHICLE ENGINES
First Claim
1. A method for engine protection configuration comprising:
- providing a run-time configurable engine protection configuration, wherein the engine protection configuration is stored in an engine protection module that is linked to a sensor associated with an engine;
identifying an engine protection setting corresponding to the engine protection configuration, wherein the engine protection setting includes at least three of the following;
a threshold value, a unique message, an action, or an alarm;
presenting the engine protection setting to an operator via an interface, wherein the interface comprises at least one of a control panel or a computing device;
receiving, via the interface, an instruction corresponding to a revised engine protection setting; and
,updating, during run-time, the engine protection configuration, pursuant to the instruction, to reflect the revised engine protection setting, responsive to the receiving of the instruction corresponding to the revised engine protection setting.
