Software

The feeding management of the Vector system is set on the T4C management software that runs on the
PC connected to the Vector system. Settings for the Feed Grabber, locations and fences, feeding, rations,
routes and kitchen are made in T4C. When a setting is changed, the settings are sent to the Vector. The
Feed Controller software that runs on the power distribution box starts feed and scan tasks with these
settings. After each feeding task the feed result is sent to T4C.
If the T4C software stops working or when the connection to the Vector is lost, the Vector continues
operation with the last received settings. Data for T4C (feed results) is stored and sent as soon as the
connection is restored.
Several devices of the Vector have their own specific software running. The devices communicate with
each other via bluetooth. The software can be operated with a smartphone with an android operating
system. The following software can be operated:
The Feed Controller.
•
The Mixing and Feeding Robot.
•
The Feed Grabber (if applicable).
•
• The Bridge Crane (if applicable).
The automatic (barn) door software (if applicable).
•
The Feed Controller software can also be operated with the WebUI. With this easy-to-use webpage you
can monitor and control the software that runs on the power distribution box and thus monitor the
Vector system remote via the internet. The WebUI is a web page that can be displayed in a browser on a
laptop or PC that is connected to the T4C network. This connection can be via a cable or wifi.
WebUI
The webpage displays information and has several buttons. The buttons (4) (see figure 35 on page 4-15)
on the bottom of the screen give access to the main pages: Status, Alarms, Fences, Kitchen and
Settings. There can be a button (2) in the screen that will show a screen or options to make changes in the
settings. With arrow buttons you can either:
Button < (1) return to the previous page
•
Button > show a detailed page
•
The signal light (3) displays colours similar to the signal light in the feed kitchen and shows the status of
the system.
