16.1 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.
Auger, feeder, and silo relays must be wired, defined, and mapped.
Auger active and feeder active digital sensors must be wired, defined, and mapped.
16.2 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.
