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 21):
A system for controlling heating of a screed plate, comprising:\n a paving material delivery path; a screed plate operably disposed along the paving material delivery path; a first temperature sensor associated with the screed plate, the first temperature sensor being configured to generate first temperature signals indicative of a screed plate temperature; a second temperature sensor at a position along the paving material delivery path, the second temperature sensor being configured to generate second temperature signals indicative of an actual paving material temperature of paving material at the position along the paving material delivery path; a heater operatively associated with the screed plate and configured to heat the screed plate; and a controller configured to:\n access a temperature variation range; \n receive the first temperature signals; \n determine the screed plate temperature based on the first temperature signals; \n receive the second temperature signals; \n determine the actual paving material temperature based on the second temperature signals; \n determine an estimated paving material temperature adjacent the screed plate based on the actual paving material temperature; and \n generate command signals to operate the heater to maintain the screed plate temperature within the temperature variation range relative to the estimated paving material temperature.
