1. A method for generating a command for a work machine by arbitrating between inputs from a first input device and a second input device, each located on a joystick of a work machine, comprising:
- receiving a first input from the first input device on the joystick of a work machine;
receiving a second input from the second input device on the joystick of the work machine;
wherein said first input and said second input are capable of being received concurrently,generating a first command for a first operation carried out by the work machine based on the first input from the first input device if the first input has a non-zero value;
generating a second command for the first operation based on the second input from the second input device if the first input has a zero value and the second input has a non-zero value;
arbitrating between the first command and the second command; and
executing the first operation based upon either one of the first command or the second command depending upon said arbitrating.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for arbitrating between joystick inputs. The system generates a first command based on the first input if the first input has a non-zero value, and generates a second command based on the second input if the first input has a zero value and the second input has a non-zero value. The system thereby allows two different inputs to control a single commanded function.

7. A system for generating a command for a work machine by arbitrating between inputs from a first input device and a second input device comprising:
-
a joystick of a work machine, the joystick having a first input device and a second input device; and a controller of the work machine, the controller configured to perform; receiving a first input from the first input device on the joystick of the work machine and a second input from the second input device on the joystick of the work machine; wherein said first input and said second input are capable of being received concurrently, generating a first command for a first operation carried out by the work machine based on the first input from the first input device if the first input has a non-zero value; generating a second command for the first operation based on the second input from the second input device if the first input has a zero value and the second input has a non-zero value; arbitrating between the first command and the second command; and executing the first operation based upon either one of the first command or the second command depending upon said arbitrating. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for generating a command for a work machine by arbitrating between inputs from a first input device and a second input device, each located on a joystick of a work machine, comprising:
-
receiving a first input from the first input device on a joystick of a work machine; receiving a second input from the second input device on the joystick of the work machine, wherein said first input and said second input are capable of being received concurrently; generating the command carried out by the work machine based on arbitrating between the earlier of the first input from the first input device for a first operation or the second input from the second input device for the first operation having a non-zero value; and
,executing the first operation based upon said generating. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for generating a command for a work machine by arbitrating between inputs from a first input device and a second input device comprising:
-
a joystick of a work machine, the joystick having a first input device and a second input device; and a controller of the work machine, the controller configured to perform; receiving a first input from the first input device on the joystick of the work machine; receiving a second input from the second input device on the joystick of the work machine, wherein said first input and said second input are capable of being received concurrently; generating the command carried out by the work machine based on arbitrating between the earlier of the first input from the first input device for a first operation or the second input from the second input device for the first operation having a non-zero value; and executing the first operation based upon said generating. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
