A slope sensor (arrow) is mounted on the inside of the right frame rail. The slope sensor provides machine tilt (operating angle) information to the Machine ECM. The Machine ECM will use the output of the slope sensor to help control machine overspeed.
Software maps in the Machine ECM will use this data to modify the application of the machine brakes during overspeed.
If the slope sensor data indicates that the machine is on a gradual downhill slope, the Machine ECM may not increase the brake application to keep the machine at the desired speed.
