Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although this method can help operators adapt to deviations over time, operators are still left to rely on their own assumptions about the limits of change and there is no guarantee in case they forget to adjust the mechanical controls based on handwritten marks
Additionally, other users or operators who may not be familiar with the markings and mechanics may solely rely on the limits indicated by the original gauges, and thus inadvertently allow the drivetrain to exceed its maximum limits
Also, the operator may not be aware that the driveline is operating beyond its ideal limit when the warning indicator is only triggered by the driveline's loose raw threshold rather than the more stringent updated threshold

Abstract

A method of managing control of a drivetrain is provided. The method may include the steps of reading sensor data provided by one or more sensors configured to detect one or more operating parameters of the drivetrain, displaying one or more gauges on a touch screen device based on the sensor data, receiving one of a plurality of gestures through the touch screen device, and displaying one or more user definable limits for at least one of the gauges based on the gesture received where the user definable limits may be indicative of an operating threshold for at least one of the operating parameters of the drivetrain.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to powertrains, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for providing users with custom limits on powertrain operation. Background technique [0002] Typical transmission systems associated with industrial machinery, marine systems, etc. provide a number of analog gauges through which a user or operator can monitor various operating parameters of the transmission system. For example, analog gauges can be used to monitor fuel levels, drive speed, temperature, oil pressure, etc. Conventional analog gauges may further indicate different operating thresholds or operating limits that reflect predetermined limits of the driveline or associated machinery. Additionally, analog gauges may often use a color-coding scheme to indicate ranges or areas in which operation of the driveline is considered normal and in which operation is considered hazardous to the machine. [0003] Over time, and as the drive train and ...
