Abstract

A control system for a construction machine stops an upper swing structure at a desired swing stop angle. A main controller sets a swing stop target angle at which an upper swing structure is to be stopped. A swing stoppability determination section reads an angle signal of the upper swing structure with respect to an undercarriage and an angle of a work implement, and determines whether the swing of the upper swing structure can be stopped at the swing stop target angle. A work implement is controlled in such a manner that an extension action of the work implement in a swing radial direction is prohibited or a contraction action of the work implement in the swing radial direction is executed in response to a signal that indicates whether the swing can be stopped and that is determined by the swing stoppability determination section.
