Abstract
An automated system for a machine can include a controller and a plurality of position sensors to deliver information regarding a position of a work tool of the machine to the controller; wherein the controller receives information regarding a location of a machine structure of the machine, and wherein the controller is configured to establish a first virtual boundary proximate to the machine structure in view of the information regarding the location of the machine structure; wherein the controller is configured to receive operator commands regarding one or more functions of the work tool of the machine; and wherein, when the work tool reaches the first virtual boundary, the controller inhibits one or more functions of the work tool while at the same time allowing other functions of the work tool.
