FARM MACHINE, PRIMARILY GRAIN COMBINE HARVESTER, WITH MULTIPROCESSOR CONTROL DEVICE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: farm machines. SUBSTANCE: farm machine has a number of units (1 - N) incorporating microprocessors M1-NM of which at least one is operator's terminal M1 with control keyboard TA and display V; microprocessors are connected to measuring and adjusting parts of respective units 1-N and function to process data coming from mentioned units 1-N so as to control and/or adjust or display them; microprocessors M1-MN are interconnected by means of standard data bus B through standard circuits for connecting interfaces SS and function to convey through them operating variables together with definite operating-variable identifier; in some processors M1-MN identifiers of such type of operating variables to be received are stored in binary-digit table as unity; arriving identifier is given access to table bits and if storage saves unity, identifier is accepted together with relevant conveyed operating variables. In this way, information is effectively exchanged between processor and operator. EFFECT: reduced physical burden on operator. 23 cl, 7 dwg
