Abstract

A secondary control device may obtain main control information regarding an implement. The secondary control device may obtain monitoring information regarding the implement. The secondary control device may determine, using a first reduced functionality processing technique, secondary control information regarding the implement based on the monitoring information. The secondary control device may determine, using a second functionality processing technique, based on the main control information, the monitoring information, or the secondary control information, that a critical error associated with the implement has occurred. The secondary control device may determine a circumstance associated with the critical error. The secondary control device may select, based on determining the circumstance, a control technique and may control the implement using the control technique.
