System and method for machine control

Abstract

A system for controlling operations of a machine is provided. A first sensor module generates a signal indicative of an operator command and a second sensor module is configured to generate a signal indicative of a current loading ratio associated with a load arm assembly of the machine. A control module is communicably coupled to the first sensor module and the second sensor module to receive a signal indicative of a current operating mode of the machine, and further to receive the signal indicative of the operator command and the signal indicative of the current loading ratio associated with the load arm assembly of the machine. Further, the control module compares the current loading ratio with a pre-determined load rating of the machine, and selectively limits an action associated with the operator command based on the comparison and the current operating mode of the machine.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for controlling operations of a machine, the system comprising:
 a first sensor module configured to generate a signal indicative of an operator command;   a second sensor module configured to generate a signal indicative of a current loading ratio associated with a load arm assembly of the machine; and   a control module communicably coupled to the first sensor module and the second sensor module, the control module configured to:
 receive a signal indicative of a current operating mode of the machine; 
 receive the signal indicative of the operator command and the signal indicative of the current loading ratio associated with the load arm assembly of the machine; 
 compare the current loading ratio with a pre-determined load rating of the machine; and 
 selectively limit an action associated with the operator command based on the comparison and the current operating mode of the machine. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operator command includes at least one of a lift command, and a tilt command.
