Chapter 6: Setup
Setting up a Tank group
You can group specific tanks together in the EDGE software for easier management of feed consumption.
What You Should Know
Managing feed in livestock buildings is complex. Each site is different and the system is constantly re-con-
figured to suit the immediate needs of the producer and his animals. Tank groups can be used to track
and monitor feed usage. You can match an auger to a tank or a tank group in the
Feed grid interface.
See the Feed grid section in the EDGE Controller manual for more information.
By definition, a tank group is a set of tanks monitored as a single feed consumption measurement and for
which notifications and alarms can be set. Tanks in a group can be removed for specific, short term
needs, then grouped back.
