Abstract
A power control system for a forestry machine may include an engine control module and a pump control module. The engine control module may be configured to control an engine speed of an engine of the forestry machine. The engine speed may be limited in accordance with a maximum engine speed. The pump control module may determine whether a first function of the forestry machine is activated, determine whether a sensed pressure of a pump associated with the first function is greater than or equal to a high pressure setpoint, and output a control signal indicating a request for a power increase in response to determining that the first function is activated and the sensed pressure is greater than or equal to the high pressure setpoint. The engine control module may increase the maximum engine speed in response to the request for the power increase from the pump control module.
