7.3 TAURUS - link with management system
TAURUS is the link between the Spider and the management system. The Spider uses the TAURUS - link to send and receive
all feeding data to and from the management system. It is recommended to execute the data transmission at the end of
every cycle.
Caution! Modifying feeding data or adding new animals must be done in the management system.
Animals added or modified in the Spider will be overwritten after linking with TAURUS.
The TAURUS client must be downloaded before the link can be used. Click ‘ Download TAUPRO2 Client for Windows ’. This is
a setup file which must be run to allow the program to work (this file can be found in your computer's default download
folder:
‘ User/Downloads ’). A new screen will be displayed when running the setup.
Choose the users who will be authorised to use the program and click ‘ Next ’. After installation, the screen can be closed
with ‘ Close ’.
If the setup was launched on a computer where an installation of the client is already present, the installer will ask if you
want to:
- Update the current version
- >
‘ Repair ’.
- Uninstall the current version. If you choose to uninstall the current version, your system may ask you to allow
changes. The client is now uninstalled and the screen can be closed with ‘ Close ’
- >
‘ Remove ’.
Other settings to establish the link must be configured by the helpdesk from your management program.
TAURUS link in combination with in - parlour feeding
If a TAURUS link is used in combination with a milking
parlour, the quantity entered in the milking parlour takes
precedence over the entered percentage.
If both values have been entered, the absolute quantity fed
in the milking parlour is used.
Which management programmes can be connected to the
Spider?
Please contact Hanskamp for an overview. The Spider can
currently only be connected with a management system
using TAURUS.
