METHOD FOR OPERATING AN IMPLEMENT OF A WORK MACHINE

Abstract:

A method for operating an implement of a work machine is disclosed. The method includes detecting a progression of an input device between a first position and a second position based on a first parameter and a second parameter; determining a plurality of segments of the progression; estimating a value of the second parameter of at least one first segment and at least one second segment; issuing a baseline signal to generate command to initiate manipulation of the implement if the value of the second parameter of the first segment complies with corresponding second parameter threshold condition; issuing a secondary signal to continue manipulation of the implement if the value of the second parameter of the second segment complies with corresponding second parameter threshold condition; and terminating the command if the value of the second parameter of at least one second segment violates the corresponding second parameter threshold condition.
