1. A system including a machine having a radio frequency device, comprising:
- a radio frequency reader that transmits a radio frequency signal over a first external communication channel to the radio frequency device when the machine travels within range of the radio frequency reader, wherein the radio frequency device generates a trigger signal in response to the radio frequency signal; and
an interface control system that receives the trigger signal from the radio frequency device and performs a predetermined programmed function associated with the machine based on information included in the trigger signal, wherein the predetermined programmed function includes collecting performance data from at least one on-board control module and sending the collected data over a second external communication channel different from the first external communication channel.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for utilizing a work machine having a radio frequency device. The system includes a radio frequency reader that transmits a radio frequency signal over a first communication channel to the radio frequency device when the work machine travels within range of the radio frequency reader. The radio frequency device generates a trigger signal in response to the radio frequency signal, and an interface control system receives the trigger signal from the radio frequency device and performs a predetermined programmed function associated with the work machine based on information included in the trigger signal.

16. A method performed in an environment including a machine having a radio frequency device, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a radio frequency signal from a radio frequency reader over a first external communication channel to the radio frequency device when the machine travels within a range of the radio frequency reader; providing, by the radio frequency device in response to the radio frequency signal, a trigger signal to an interface control system within the machine; determining, by the interface control system, a predetermined programmed function to perform based on the trigger signal; and performing the predetermined programmed function at the machine by collecting performance data from at least one on-board control module and sending the collected data over a second external communication channel different from the first external communication channel. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
