Abstract:
A system for controlling heating of a screed plate includes screed plate disposed along the paving material delivery path. A first temperature sensor is operative to monitor a screed plate temperature and a second temperature sensor along the paving material delivery path is operative to monitor an actual paving material temperature of a paving material being applied to a work surface. A controller is configured to determine an estimated paving material temperature adjacent the screed plate based upon the actual paving material temperature and operate a heater to maintain the screed plate temperature within a temperature variation range relative to the estimated paving material temperature.

Claim (Index 32):
A method of controlling heating of a screed plate, comprising:\n providing a screed plate operably mounted on a mobile machine and disposed along a paving material delivery path; receiving first temperature signals from a first temperature sensor associated with the screed plate, the first temperature signals being indicative of a screed plate temperature; determining the screed plate temperature based on the first temperature signals; receiving second temperature signals from a second temperature sensor disposed along the paving material delivery path, the second temperature signals being indicative of an actual paving material temperature of a paving material; determining the actual paving material temperature based on the second temperature signals; determining an estimated paving material temperature adjacent the screed plate based on the actual paving material temperature; setting a temperature variation range based on the estimated paving material temperature; and generating command signals to operate a heater associated with the screed plate and configured to heat the screed plate to maintain the screed plate temperature within the temperature variation range relative to the estimated paving material temperature.
