ABSTRACT

A materials handling vehicle comprises a distributed processor system
including a vehicle network that facilitates an exchange of information with
vehicle electronic components, and a distributed multi-processor vehicle
control architecture. The distributed multi-processor vehicle control
architecture includes an embedded information core having a core processor
communicably coupled to the vehicle network, and a tablet having a tablet
processor, where the tablet is communicably couplable to, and detachable from
the distributed multi-processor vehicle control architecture. When the tablet
is detached from the distributed multi-processor vehicle control architecture,
the core processor functions as a primary processor that communicates with
vehicle electronic components by communicating therewith across the vehicle
network. When the tablet is communicably attached to the distributed
multi-processor vehicle control architecture, the tablet processor functions
as the primary processor, and the core processor functions as a subordinate
processor.
