4.2.7.3 The Processor
The processor is a box (a base and a cover) with pumps, valves, chambers
and electronics. It is installed on the milking robot frame behind the
intermediate panel and is attached to the processor installation bracket.
The processor has four main functions: to transport, mix, test and drain
the mixture. The processor pumps the milk from the sampler to the
processor and adds the Astri-Cell to the milk. When the test is done the
processor pumps the mixture to the sewer.
The processor has the following parts:
• Pumps
• Valves
• Chambers
• Control PCB.
The processor gets inputs from the sampler (electronic and milk
samples), the wall socket (Astri-Cell, water and compressed air) and the
MQC-II (via the CAN-bus connector).
The processor sends output to the sampler and the MQC. Results and
class attentions of the test can be found in the T4C software. Hardware-
related alarm messages can be found on the X-Link. The attentions lists
generated by T4C can be found on the X-Link.
4.2.7.4 The Wall Socket
The wall socket is installed behind the intermediate panel on the right
of the machine room above the Astri-pumps.
The wall socket joins the input of the water, Astri-Cell and compressed
air supply with the tube bundle that leads to the processor. The wall
socket has a adjustable pressure reducer for both the water and air
supply.
4.2.7.5 Anti-Freezing Facility
To prevent the fluid (milk, Astri-Cell, wasted mix) from freezing during
transportation and the test an anti-freezing facility is installed. This
facility has the following parts:
• Temperature sensors, these are installed:
• On the sampler PCB
• In the milk tube bundle from the sampler to the processor
• On the bottom of the processor.
• Heater elements, these are installed:
• On the box base of the sampler
• On the processor
• In the tube bundle from the sampler to the processor
• In the waste/bleed tube bundle.
