According to what was set in Configuration (see par. D.C) Xfarm can control the feed weight in the
following ways:
1> External contact: without load cells.
The feed weighing unit is an external one. The interface signal is an electric contact.
At each and every contact, a certain quantity of Kg is recorded.
i.e. a mechanical hopper which gives a pulse every 25 kg.
2> Volumetric: without load cells.
The feed distribution system converts the silos auger working time into Kg of feed distributed to
animals.
3> Silos is weighed by load cells.
The weighing of the feed is done by the silo load cells.
