Electronic control of fluid operations for machines
A system. The system includes a power source, a control module of a machine, and a fluid component. The fluid component is configured to establish an electrical connection between the power source and the control module during performance of a fluid operation on the machine when the machine is powered down.
1. A system, comprising:
a control module of a machine; and
a fluid component configured to continuously conduct electrical current between a power source and the control module for the duration of a fluid operation performed on the machine when the machine is powered down.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising the power source, wherein the power source comprises a battery.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fluid component comprises at least one of a pump, a flow control means, or an evacuation device, or combinations thereof.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fluid component is configured to supply a fluid pressure to a port of the machine in accordance with the fluid operation performed on the machine.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the fluid pressure is positive.
6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the fluid pressure is negative.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control module is configured to record a time associated with the fluid operation.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control module is configured to record a date associated with the fluid operation.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control module is configured to record: a time associated with the fluid operation; and
a date associated with the fluid operation.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control module comprises a disconnect switch.
11. A system, comprising:
a power source; and
a fluid component configured to continuously conduct electrical current between the power source and a control module for the duration of a fluid operation performed on a machine when the machine is powered down.
12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising the control module, wherein the control module comprises a processing device.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control module is configured to record a time associated with the fluid operation.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control module is configured to record a date associated with the fluid operation.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the fluid component comprises at least one of a pump, a flow control means, or an evacuation device, or combinations thereof.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the fluid component is configured to supply either a fluid pressure to a port of the machine in accordance with the fluid operation performed on the machine.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the fluid pressure is positive.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the fluid pressure is negative.
19. A method, comprising:
electrically coupling a fluid component to a control module of a machine;
electrically coupling the fluid component to a power source; and
continuously conducting, via the fluid component, electrical current between the power source and the control module for the duration of a fluid operation performed on the machine when the machine is powered down.
20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising supplying, via the fluid component, a fluid pressure to a port of the machine in accordance with the fluid operation performed on the machine.
