11.1
Feeding Summary
Feed is stored in silos located outside the chicken house. Augers transport the feed to
hoppers. Sensors are installed on the augers and hoppers to ensure that the proper
amount of feed is transported. Feed lines transport the feed from the hoppers to feeding
pans, according to signals sent from the hoppers. Trio receives inputs from the augers and
hoppers that enable controlling the feed distribution (start and stop signals). In addition,
the user enable am alarm if the run time exceeds the defined parameters.
Cross auger, feeder, and silo relays must be wired, defined, and mapped.
Auger active and feeder active digital sensors must be wired, defined, and mapped.

Setting up Feeding
Use the Feed Screen to turn on/off augers and feeders according to the user-designed
schedule. All augers operate according to the auger schedule and all feeders work
according to the feeder schedule.
