Abstract

A solid state mow system monitors and controls operations of a greens maintenance machine. This solid state system controls the other systems on the machine including: an interlock system, a reel lift control system, a cutting unit control system, a groomer control system, a backlap control system, a mow relay system or any other greens maintenance type system. The interlock system monitors input and output signals to determine if all of the preconditions to operation have been satisfied. The lift control system controls raising and lowering the cutting units. The mow control system controls the operation of cutting unit motors.
