This manual aims to supply the installer with the information necessary for a step by step insight into the working and operation of the 771 dry feed computer. Read this manual carefully chapter by chapter. After the manual has been read, data can be entered in the computer.
INSTALLER: 1. Introduction 1 Introduction The Fancom 771 Dry feed computer has been specially developed for a multiphase feeding supply. Computer control of such dry feed systems enables weighing and blending of the different feed ingredients and their transport to each individual feeder/trough. The quantity of feed and blends necessary can be programmed for the whole (fattening) period.
• Fancom takes no responsibility for any possible damage as a result of incorrect settings and a non- or partially functioning installation. 3.2 Trouble Caution Never work on a computer with the power switched on.

2-core network. The network has the so-called Back Bone structure. Two cores leave a station (including the 771) and go to the next station. From this station the cores go to the following station etc. The Back Bone-wire must never be cut at the point where a station is connected. The insulation must be removed, the wire folded double and placed under the terminal.
The computer must give an alarm if there is a malfunction in the dry feed unit. The external alarm input on the 771 computer is used for this purpose. The following alarm detectors can be installed on this external alarm: •...
For connection of the overflow detection, refer to the connection diagrams concerned in appendix 1. Connect the contact (per circuit) to the overflow input of the 771 computer. It is also possible to detect surplus feed using a proximity switch (PROX.24F). See connection diagrams Overflow alarm (appendix 1).
Fancom 771 INSTALLER: 4. Mounting and installation When the PROX.1 activates, the computer receives a signal. The computer then determines for which valve the blend was made, based on the entered distance from the overflow , and gives a Silent alarm. If the overflow is so large within one feeding cycle that PROX.2 also activates, the computer must give still...
This current detection board is not necessary in this case, but is recommended by Fancom. The current detection board can only be used with indirectly controlled direct current valves.

The input assignments concern the connection of a number of signals to the digital inputs. A card with 12 digital inputs has been mounted in the 771. These inputs are connected to the terminal strip. The inputs 10, 11 and 12 are assigned to Feeder sensors, Valve protection and External alarm The other 9 inputs can be freely assigned.
