SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WORK TOOL RECOGNITION
First Claim
1. A machine comprising:
- an engine;
a work tool attached to the machine; and
a work tool recognition system for the machine, the work tool recognition system comprising;
a sensor associated with the work tool, the sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a weight of the work tool; and
a controller coupled to the sensor, the controller configured to;
receive the signal indicative of the weight of the work tool;
monitor the weight of the work tool along a predefined path;
compare the monitored and the received weights associated with the work tool with a predefined dataset; and
identify a type of the work tool based on the comparison.

Abstract
A machine is provided. The machine includes an engine, a work tool attached to the machine, and a work tool recognition system for the machine. The work tool recognition system includes a sensor associated with the work tool. The sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a weight of the work tool. The work tool recognition system includes a controller coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to receive the signal indicative of the weight of the work tool. The controller is configured to monitor the weight of the work tool along a predefined path. The controller is configured to compare the monitored and the received weights associated with the work tool with a predefined dataset. The controller is configured to identify a type of the work tool based on the comparison.
