SYSTEM OVERVIEW

2.1.  Description of the Con-

troller

The TARGET BIN SCALE RF  is an electronic 
device which weighs and distributes feed in 
livestock buildings. With this system, each 
bin is mounted on load bars. This way, the 
controller  always  knows  what  is  the  exact 
amount of feed remaining in each bin. The 
controller  also  refers  to  the  bin  weight  to 
distribute precise feed rations to the birds. 

In all, the TARGET BIN SCALE RF has 8 out-
puts to control up to 4 bin augers and 6 feed 
line motors. It also comes with 16 time clocks 
made of 12 cycles each.
