milking, heat detection, sorting/routing, identification and so on.
Connectors:
• 2 Antenna connections, 1 active at the time
• FDX sync / HDX sync
HDX and other extra ID options are only available by license. If no license is purchased for the VP1007-
B, these options can be tested for a 24-hour period.
• 1 CAN channel with 2 connectors
• 5 Outputs (max 2A)
• 5 Inputs
• 1 RS485 / RS232 communication channel
Features:
• Identification of tags
• Activates and controls e.g. lights, motors, valves, relays
• Reads the input for e.g. sensors, switches
• Special serial interface (RS485 / RS232) for connecting sensors with serial interface
All currently available Nedap Livestock antennas can be used.
2.1 Extended functionality
The new generation V-packs (V-pack B types) are based on a new transmitter-receiver module with an improved
way of animal identification based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology.
The V-pack B types offer the following new features:
• Notch Filter (nF): This option suppresses the signals that are received from long wave transmitters near
Berlin, Frankfurt and Budapest. Especially large antennas such as the Walk Through and Walk Past antennas
are sensitive for this. Noise reduction antennas will not need this notch filter as they already suppress these
long wave transmitter signals.
These new options and the HDX mode must be activated with a license on the VPU (VP8001/VP8002). If the V-
pack is not connected to a VPU, a license for the V-pack must be purchased.
Nedap: If no license is purchased for the VPU or the V-pack, the HDX and/or Notch Filter options can be
tested for a 24-hour period. For more information see the menu overview of the V-pack in the Appendix.
To check if the VP1007 is a B version, a "b" will appear on the display shortly after the VP1007-B is booted.
If a system uses HDX tags, and a VP1007 has to be replaced with a VP1007-B, there are two options:
1. Order a special VP1007-B with HDX license pre-installed on the VP1007-B, or:
2. Order a normal VP1007-B FDX only and add a separate HDX license to the VPU for this VP1007-B.
