DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
In an agricultural machine including: a control station processor; a control input device coupled to the control station processor; a display screen driven by the control station processor; a plurality of component devices outputting raw data for measurement, actuation, or display, each component device being coupled to a respective microprocessor, to process the raw data from the component device into actual operating data of a corresponding operating data type; a communications bus coupled to the control station processor and connected syndetically via interface circuits to the microprocessors; the interface circuits continually transmitting onto the bus, according to a protocol, the operating data and a respective identifier specific to the operating data thereof; the improvement wherein: each of the microprocessors includes a respective access key marker field, accessed from the bus by the identifier, wherein are stored access key markers corresponding respectively to the operating data types, such that, whenever an access key marker corresponding to one operating data type is in the access key marker field of one of the microprocessors, that one of the microprocessors receives, stores, and processes the transmitted operating data labeled by the identifier; wherein the control station processor includes a pre-selected dialogue state which is activated by operation of the control input device; and wherein depending on the dialogue state, operating data continually received in the control station processor, depending respectively on the identifier thereof, is (1) transformed into analog pictograms, numeric depictions or textual depictions, (2) respectively adjusted for updating and (3) stored in at least one display field of a screen mask, which is associated with the respective pre-selected dialogue state; whereby a continually updated display memory content is depicted on the screen.
