The history is maintained separately for
male, female and total. Use the left and right
arrow keys to switch to the next screen.
Heaters
The Platinum Plus maintains daily total
run times of each standard heater. The table fills
several screens; to view the off screen data, use
the arrow keys to scroll. The data is in hours:
minutes format.
Radiant Heaters
The Platinum Plus maintains daily total
run times of each radiant heater, including
separate data for low level and high level heaters.
The table fills several screens; to view the off
screen data, use the arrow keys to scroll. The
data is in hours: minutes format.
Scale
The scale history shows bird weight
statistics. You can review daily data for each
scale, or separately. Up to two bird scale data are
recorded; if you have more than one scale-1 or
one scale-2, their data is combined.
If you selected ‘Sexed’ weighing, the
history includes Average data for the combined
scales, and on the next screens separate data for
each scale.
If you select ‘Mixed’ weighing, the
history includes Average data for all birds, and
separate male and female data for scale 1 and
also for scale 2.
Use the arrow keys to scroll to the
separated scale data, or up and down for data that
is off screen.
The average and the number of weights
are the usual definition. The Standard Deviation
is the usual biased estimator (see a suitable
textbook on statistical measurements). The
Uniformity is the industry standard 10%
uniformity (number of birds per 100 within 10%
of the average weight), and the Coefficient of
Variation or C.V. is the normalized standard
deviation (standard deviation divided by average
times 100 %.)
Alarm
The alarm history records the growth
day and time of each alarm. Alarms that are
currently activate show as flashing in the screen.
The alarm history does not erase with the New
Flock function under Management, Growth Date
& Flock. The last 250 alarms are saved, and as
the table fills new alarms push out the oldest
alarms.
Table of Events
The Platinum Plus records significant
events with growth day and time stamp. The Table
of Events is 1000 events long, and does not erase
with the New Flock function under Management,
Growth Date & Flock. New events push out the
oldest events.
Typical events recorded are switch
changes, entry into tunnel, natural or minimum
ventilation, alarm resets, ventilation mode changes,
etc. The Table of Events is an excellent tool to
determine whether your controller is yo-yoing in and
out of tunnel due to marginal settings, and to find
and identify problems.
History View
The History View menu has detailed
history on a variety of sensors and data. Go to Help |
Set under History View to select the particular data
to collect. Go to Install, Setup, last item…History
Resolution, to set the frequency of your data
collection.
Under Help | Graph you can select a variety
of graphs of the detailed history.
Test
Relays
The relay test menu shows a screen of all
identified switches and relays installed in the
controller. If the relay number is in reverse video,
the Platinum Plus in automatic mode has that relay
turned on. Underneath each relay number the
controller displays Aut, On or Off according to the
switch position for that relay. If you move the
switch for a relay, its position will update in the
screen.
Alarm
Test the alarm relay with this menu. Each
push of the Enter key toggles the state of the alarm
relay.
Analog Sensors
This menu shows the machine counts for
each analog sensor channel.
Digital Sensors
This screen shows the status of each of the
8 digital inputs. A shorted input shows a 1, an open
input shows a 0. You can apply a short or open to
each channel and observe the response on the
display.
Analog Output
You can set the analog output voltage of
each channel of the optional analog output card.
This is preferred method of testing a light dimmer or
variable speed fan, since it bypasses possible
programming factors. Enter a voltage, and the
corresponding voltage appears immediately on the
terminals of the analog output card.
