2.3 Cow place antennas
2.3.1 Multi rod reader
The cow place antenna, the Multi rod reader, is
located inside the parlour.
The Multi rod reader is an electronic unit that is
used to identify animals wearing ear tags, ISO
half duplex (HDX).
This type of identification is used in feeding and
parlour applications where an animal’s identity
determines the action that should be carried out
by the system.
When an ear tag ISO HDX is within the scanning
area of the reader, the reader will send the scan-
ned data to a receiving unit, for example a station
controller. The data is processed by the receiving
unit and the programmed action follows.

2.3.2 Positioning of readers
n ISO transponders: Position the readers in the
high position as described
n B-transponders: Position the readers as low
as possible, but avoid positioning the bracket
so low that it sticks out, causing injuries to the
cow
2.3.3 ID information processing
When a cow is identified by the IRW, her trans-
ponder number is compared with her cow num-
ber, kept in the memory.
All transponder numbers are stored in a buffer as
an array. From the buffer the processor send out
the cow numbers to the MPCs according to the
order in which they were identified.
2.3.3.1 Function of rod reader on the first place
Sometimes the entrance gate opens and the
information (regarding ID numbers made by the
IRW) is erased from the buffer. For this purpose,
