5. Feeding system 5.2 Animal groups / valves If you do not have animal groups, the name of the valve is shown in the place of the animal group. With animal groups, several valves are assigned to a group of animals. The valves are grouped together, as it were. - Page 13 5. Feeding system Your installer sets whether you use the menu item Curve options (installer setting). Behind the feed dosage calculated from the curve, you see how much of the daily amount (grams/animal) has already been fed. Today per animal | If your installer has not enabled the curves or if the curve is disabled for this animal group, the Today per animal setting appears.

Page 15: Manual Feeding Cycle
5. Feeding system Alarm (dosage alarm) You can clear the alarm status by turning the alarm off and back on again. If the value 0% is shown behind Present dosage, today’s feeding has not started yet. Supply alarm In case of feed alarm, the time-to-empty time, distance-to-valve time and distance-till-ready time are frozen. Once the alarm situation is resolved, the feed computer continues the feeding process. -

Go to screen 12 Fill method and change the Period action to abort. The period and the feeding cycle will be aborted, and therefore the manual feed turn, are aborted. -
Page 17: Fill Method = Timer
5. Feeding system With automatic partition Default The total daily amount is distributed evenly over the preset number of periods. Setting % yourself If your installer has set the Automatic partition of the valve to Perc. (percentage), you can set the division (partition) among the periods yourself. ... - Page 18 5. Feeding system none abort restart clear Fill method = off Fill method = on Make sure that the next fill period does not start before all valves have been addressed, otherwise dosage alarms will occur. Fill method = off The current state is maintained, the feeding process is 'frozen'.
- Page 19 5. Feeding system Creating stock You can create a stock only if the installer has set the Fill Method to timer and you, the user, have set the Fill Method to on. If the Create-stock setting is yes, the time of the last period is used to create the stock. The dosed amount is not added to the current day but to the next day's amount.

Page 21: Fill Method = Feed On Demand
5. Feeding system Period action = clear The active period is aborted. All feed measurements are deleted except for the active feeding cycle. The PFB-35/70 feed weigher immediately aborts its cycle. In this situation, it is up to you to ensure that the feed system no longer contains any feed. - Page 22 5. Feeding system Fill method = off Fill method = on Fill method = off The current state is maintained, the feeding process is 'frozen'. The Time-to- empty, Distance-to-valve and Distance-to-ready times are stopped. The PFB- 35/70 feed weigher completes its cycle. When you then switch the Fill method back to on, the feed computer resumes the feeding process from the point at which you had 'frozen' the process.

Page 23: Week Programme
5. Feeding system 5.9 Week programme 7 days You can use Week programme to set feeding such that it does not take place every day, but, for example, that feeding takes place on 6 days and no feeding takes place on the seventh day. You can change or call up the week programme for the other animal groups in the same way. -
Page 24: Curves
5. Feeding system 5.11 Curves To avoid having to set up to 30 different dosage, feed mixture and animal weight curves, you can assign individual curves to individual valves. You can programme up to 6 different groups of curves (each with their own individual dosage, feed mixture and animal weight curves). -
Page 25: Overview
5. Feeding system Feed mixture You can vary the feed mixture based on the age of the animals. Note: You set a mixing ratio here instead of percentages of the total dose; If you change the number of ingredients in screen 32 (Ingredient name), the feed mixture (Mixing ratio) will also change. -
Page 26: Animal Data
5. Feeding system 5.13 Animal data The buttons also select the next/previous animal group. Mutation Lost Indicate the number of animals that have died here. Today's mortality (or death rate) is lowered automatically by the value entered after which the entry is erased. If you have entered an incorrect value you can correct this by entering this as a positive value. -
Page 27: Feed System Alarm
5. Feeding system New entry When you set New entry on yes: the mortality (Lost) table is cleared; the set-up date (Entry date) is filled in; feed dosing is started, provided a feeding cycle is active. The set-up date is used to determine the age of the animals. Furthermore, this setting is used to fill the age- related mortality table. - Page 28 5. Feeding system Tare alarm If you deactivate the tare alarm, the PFV-94xx will no longer respond to the tare alarm from the feed weigher. The tare alarm on the feed weigher will also be deactivated. If you switch off the tare alarm and something unexpected like bridging occurs in the weigher, the amount actually dosed will differ from the calculated amount and the animals will not be fed enough.

5. Feeding system Separation valve Here you can turn the separation valve alarm on or off. If you turn the alarm off, it will no longer be transmitted to the main alarm and the alarm relay will not de-energize in the event of a malfunction of the separation valve. - Page 30 5. Feeding system Screens for valves You can call up the status for every individual animal group/valve. Besides the entry date and the number of animals present, you can also change the corresponding curve settings if relevant. You can change the curve number only at the animal group (screen 112).
