Abstract

The invention relates to a road finisher having traveling gear and a series of units which are used for the consolidation of warm packing material, the finisher having a plurality of control circuits for controlling various functions performed by the machine. Each control circuit includes a replaceable control processor therein, each control processor being adapted to replace any and all other control processors and to perform any and all control functions of any and all other control processors, whereby, when a control processor fails in service, another control processor, which is controlling a less important function, can be substituted therefor to permit continued operation.
