Typically, when setting Autom. upload weight= 90K and Time check unload=20
s
the program can
detect the feed truck is uploading the silos: at this point the program stops the silos auger (if working)
and activate the Automatic silos uploading procedure.
Once the upload has been completed, the feed distributions starts again automatically and the feed
uploaded in the silos is recorded in Archive>Silos upload (par. E.6).
If you were to register "silo loading false signals" due to wind action on the silo (and recorded in
Archive>Silos upload, par. E.6) we suggest to set Autom. upload weight= 90K and Time check
unload=10
s
.
When the silos feed uploading is done on a “slow” way (say when the download silos auger is working
during the silos upload so that the net uploading difference is less than 90 kg every 20") we suggest
to set Autom. upload weight= 90K and Time check unload=40
s
.
Obviously the higher the above Autom. upload weight value the higher is the risk that Automatic
silos uploading procedure (mostly due to wind gusts acting on the silos) is unintentionally activated.
To be 100% this will not happen, we recommend to stop the feed distribution before loading the silos.
As option, “Silos uploading” sensors can be installed (see Feeding config. par. D.C). so they immediately
recognize the silos is being uploaded (in this case the system goes into Silos uploading mode).
