• Opening of front gate
• Transmission of data for the management programme
• Detection of cow leaving the box via an infra-red sensor
• Closing of front gate
• Opening of rear gate
As soon as another cow enters the box, the cycle is repeated. If the robot remains empty for a certain amount of
time, rinsing of the milking installation is started or otherwise a main cleaning depending on the preset values and
the time lapsed since the last main cleaning.
5.3.2 Interruption of milking
With this option (figure 5.5) auto take off is neglected for 600 seconds. You can take off a cup by hand, because
as soon as the system does detect an airflow the cup will be taken off.
Succeeded or failed milkings are determined as usual.
In the right-hand bottom of this screen, a countdown timer displays the time until 600 seconds have passed.
