Patent ID: 8428791

Claim:
A control system for a remote-controlled working machine provided with tracks, said control system comprising: a remote control, said remote control being coupled to at least one electronic unit in the machine, and having two control sticks and a number of buttons, levers and/or knobs for operating different travel and working functions of the machine, the machine has one or more different setting modes or positions, wherein the control sticks and/or certain buttons have different functions in different modes, the two control sticks each having at least two different setting modes or positions, so that each control stick performs at least two different functions of work or travel, and in a travel mode, travel of the machine is handled entirely by one of said two control stick, such that the tracks of the machine are operated as follows: if the one control stick is moved forwards or backwards, both tracks are driven forwards or backwards so that the machine moves forwards or backwards; if the one control stick is moved straight to the left, the right track is driven forwards and the left track is driven backwards so that the machine turns to the left; if the one control stick is moved straight to the right, the left track is driven forwards and the right track is driven backwards so that the machine turns to the right; if the one control stick is moved in a diagonal direction forwards or backwards and to the side, the abovementioned movements are combined so that the machine both turns and goes forwards or backwards in a diagonal direction.
