Serviceability Strategy for Machine Control System
First Claim
1. A control system, comprising:
- a first and a second identification device storing a first and a second identification code, respectively;
a control console; and
an on-board electronic controller module of a machine to which the first identification device is removeably coupled externally, the on-board electronic controller module comprising;
a first identification device reader to read the first identification code, anda first processor, coupled to the first identification device reader, adapted to;
receive the first identification code from the first identification device reader,receive a first wireless message, including the second identification code, from the control console,compare the first and second identification codes, andprocess the first wireless message if the first and second identification codes match.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling a machine is provided. For example, the method includes coupling removeably, at an on-board controller module of a machine, a first identification device, reading, using a reader in the on-board controller module, a code stored in the first identification device, receiving, at the on-board controller module, a wireless message including another code from a control console, comparing, using a processor in the on-board controller module, the code with the received another code, and processing, using a processor coupled to the reader, the wireless message based on the comparing to determine pairing with a second external wireless identification device of a control console to the machine if the code and the received another code match.

- 16. An identification device removeably coupled externally to an on-board electronic controller module of a machine, the identification device having a code stored thereupon to faun a unique pair with another identification device of a control console outside the machine, wherein the control console is adapted to control the machine remotely upon a verification of the code to form the unique pair.

18. A machine control method, comprising:
-
coupling removeably, at an on-board controller module of a machine, a first identification device; reading, using a reader in the on-board controller module, a code stored in the first identification device; receiving, at the on-board controller module, a wireless message including another code from a control console; comparing, using a processor in the on-board controller module, the code with the received another code; and processing, at the processor, the wireless message based on the comparing to determine pairing with a second external wireless identification device of the control console to the machine if the code and the received another code match. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
