Page 7: System Identification
562500-000, Issue 1.4 March 2023 3. System Identification The PME system provides three primary safety functions 1. Lifting Stability 2. Machine Envelope Control All safety functions are achieved through real time monitoring of some or all of the machine’s moving parts (booms, other articulations, turret etc) and its environment (ground pitch and inclination, load etc) and actively determining the safety of the current operation where appropriate limits have been set. -
