4.2.10 Digital Output
The power distribution box can give an on/off signal to a conveyor belt, tower silo, water pump or other
device that distributes feed. This signal is controlled by the MFR. The MFR weighs the amount of feed and
when the target weight to stop is reached, the signal is switched off. The dosing is protected with a
maximum runtime, based on the history of dosing and some settings.
In the software this type of dosing is called Digital Output.
4.2.11 Safety fence (Optional)
Figure 34. Safety fence
The safety fence is installed in front of the feed kitchen to keep persons and large animals out. The fence
is put under tension, the tension can be released or applied by turning the winch. When the tension is
released the fence can be unhooked.
When the safety fence is hooked on the fixed pole and tensioner pole and the tension is set correct, the
light on the tensioner pole switches off. When there is not enough tension on the fence, the light switches
on and an emergency stop is generated. The feed grabber and bridge crane are disconnected from the
power and a critical alarm is generated.
4.2.12 Automatic (barn) door control (optional)
A small control box regulates the opening and closing of an automatic (barn) door when the MFR needs to
pass. When the machine drives from one barn to another, it communicates with the barn door control unit
to open/close the barn door(s). The control box:
• Is connected to a sensor that detects if the door is open.
