ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for processing data in connection with operation of a machine. The method includes detecting at least one condition of the machine during an operational state of the machine, wherein the operational state is selected from the group consisting of a dormant state of the machine and a pre-start state of the machine; collecting data indicative of the detected condition; and, performing at least one of storing the collected data and analyzing the collected data for determining whether a fault condition exists in connection with the detected condition of the machine. In another embodiment, a method is provided for operating an emergency machine that includes initiating activation of the emergency machine in response to a signal indicative of an emergency condition communicated to the emergency machine; and, initiating at least one pre-lubrication operation in association with the activation of the emergency machine in response to the communicated emergency condition signal. System and computer-readable media embodiments are also provided in accordance with the various method embodiments discussed herein.It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR § 1.72(b).
