Why is the power LED off on my DeLaval Farm Equipment IRW?
If the Power LED on the IRW (Identification Reader Wall) is off on your DeLaval Farm Equipment, the most likely cause is that the power supply is off. Check that 12 VAC is connected between pin 27 and 28.
How to fix wrong ID or low hit rate on DeLaval Farm Equipment?
If you're experiencing a wrong ID, missed ID, or a low hit rate with your DeLaval Farm Equipment, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to more than one cow being in front of the antenna, which can be resolved by narrowing or extending the lane in front of the antenna or using an archway to prevent cows from riding in the lane. Also, ensure that no steelwork is missing or deformed. Another potential issue could be malfunctioning transponders, which would require exchanging any broken or weak ones. Ensure the transponder is on the correct side. Check the photocell to make sure it's clean and correctly directed. If it's dirty, clean it. If misdirected, correct its direction so it reads the cow right in front of the antenna. You should also control the function of the photocell...
Why am I getting missed IDs when cows are entering with DeLaval Farm Equipment?
If you are experiencing missed IDs when cows are entering with your DeLaval Farm Equipment, consider these potential causes and solutions: * **Interference:** Frequency converters, especially in rotary setups, can cause interference. Ensure you follow the assembly instructions for the frequency converter, use shielded wires, and consult with the supplier on effective interference suppression. A filter on the cable can help, and the frequency converter should be placed as far as possible from the antenna, avoiding installation in the same cable duct. * **Voltage Issues:** Verify that the input voltage is within the acceptable range of 12 VAC +20%, -10%. If it's below this, correct the voltage. * **External Disturbances:** Computer screens, mobile telephone chargers, or other electron...
What to do if cow ID doesn't appear on MPC with DeLaval Farm Equipment?
If the Cow ID is not appearing on the MPC when cows are entering the parlor using DeLaval Farm Equipment, it might be due to a communication problem. Check the ALCOM bus connection on the IRW. Ensure the Power LED is on and that the transponder activation LED on the IRW is flashing when cows are passing. Verify that the Portal ID is correctly configured in ALPRO. Also, confirm that the Gate switch connects pin 22 and 23 on the IRW connections when the entrance gate is open. Pin 22 is ground, and pin 23 should be between 12 to 15 VDC when the gate is closed. When the gate is open, the Gate switch should short circuit pin 22 and 23, resulting in 0 V on pin 23. If no Gate switch is installed, pin 22 and 23 should be short-circuited with a wire. For Rotary systems, ensure that the cow is det...
