 Feeding    

Only if Feed ing is  active.

According to what was set in

 Configuration 

(see par. D.C) 

Xfarm

 

can control the feed weight in the

following ways:

1> External contact: without load cells.

The feed weighing unit is an external one. The interface signal is an electric contact.
At each and every contact, a certain quantity of Kg is recorded.
i.e. a mechanical hopper which gives a pulse every 25 kg.

2> Volumetric: without load cells.

The feed distribution system converts the silos auger working time into Kg of feed distributed to
animals.

3> Silos is weighed by load cells.

The weighing of the feed is done by the silo load cells.
