9. Feed Management Software Programming
This section introduces the Feed Management software. The Evolution controller software allows the use of two
ultrasonic feed level sensors and two current sensors. The feed level sensors are used to monitor the feed inventory
in the feed bins. The current sensors are used primarily to monitor the runtime of the cross-fill auger motors. The
following screen shows the Evolution controller 100 day Feed History that is generated through the use of these
sensors. The Usage column shows the daily estimated usage in lbs., or kg. The Auger1 and Auger2 columns
display the daily runtimes for the current sensors (hours: minutes). Notice that the first row indicates the present
status of the current sensors.
In addition to the history capabilities, the addition of the current sensors adds two new alarm features. The alarms
allow you to place a runtime limit on each current sensor to help the user detect feed spills or protect against
running out of feed. The updated Alarm Status screen is shown below.
