Overview of Components
Afimilk MPC milk meter consists of two main components – a control box (shown below)
and a milk meter body (shown on the following page). Both components have their own
connection cable, available at various lengths per needs.
An Afimilk MPC connection box is available for securing and protecting wiring
connections.
Each Afimilk MPC milk meter body (measuring chamber) is wired to its control box. All
control boxes installed in the milking parlor are connected to the AfiControl PC (The
AfiFarm software communicating with Afi sensors) via a single communication line.
