SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM OF A MACHINE
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a machine, the method comprising:
- receiving signals indicative of multiple operating parameters of the machine;
determining a current machine operating pattern based on the multiple operating parameters;
comparing the determined current machine operating pattern with reference to a plurality of predefined machine operating patterns; and
controlling at least one of a speed of an engine and an output speed of a variable speed member based on the comparison of the determined current machine operating pattern, wherein the variable speed member is drivably coupled to the engine of the machine.

Abstract
A method of controlling a machine is disclosed. The method includes receiving signals indicative of multiple operating parameters of the machine. The method further includes determining a current machine operating pattern based on the multiple operating parameters. The method further includes comparing the determined current machine operating pattern with reference to a plurality of predefined machine operating patterns and controlling at least one of a speed of an engine and an output speed of a variable speed member based on the comparison of the determined current machine operating pattern. The variable speed member is drivably coupled to the engine of the machine.
