Feeding Schedule
The feeding schedule is composed of many feed cycles; up to 6 feed cycles can be
each day. Refer to the installation setup chapter to enable the proper number of feed
cycles. The following procedure shows how to define the cycles’ start times and how
to enable/disable the cycles.
The feed cycle selection can automatically be adjusted over time according to the
animal age. Refer to section 6.1.2 for further information on this function. Otherwise,
feed cycles are chosen separately for each drop in use (sec. 6.3).
Only one cycle can operate at a time. If many cycles simultaneously ask for
feed, the controller finishes the ongoing cycle before stepping to the next.
During a cycle, the controller serves the drops following the numerical order.
