An electronic control system for a machine having a boom assembly and an
implement assembly. A microprocessor is provided having an input and
generating first and second output signals. A first electrohydraulic
valve is connected to receive the first output signal from the
microprocessor, and connected to position the boom assembly in response
to the first output signal. A second electrohydraulic valve is connected
to receive the second output signal from the microprocessor, and
connected to position the implement assembly in response to the second
output signal. A boom position sensor is disposed on the boom assembly or
the implement assembly and connected to send a boom position input signal
to the microprocessor, the microprocessor being connected to receive the
boom position input signal and generate at least one of the first output
signal and the second output signal, thereby controlling a position of
the implement assembly relative to the boom assembly.
