RF DataLink

This setting determines whether the RF Datalink will split pens in order to fill your mixer to
capacity. When you select [Yes], the RF Datalink program will maximize the load in your
feed mixer and split pens as needed.
Example;
Maximum load size is 8,000 of Ration 1
Pens and call weights: Pen 1 2,000
Pen 2 2,000
Pen 3 2,000
Pen 4 3,000
Pen 5 1,000
If you select [Yes], the load would total 8,000 and would feed pens 1, 2, 3 and 1,000 of the
call weight for pen 4. The next load that is built would feed the remaining 2,000.
This setting is typically set at [Yes].
Find Pens to Fit
To set the Find Pens to Fit Selection, from the main menu select Systems, Defaults, and
then the Pen Feeding tab.
This setting is only available if you have selected [No] at the Optimize Split Pens selection.
This setting determines how the RF Datalink will optimize your feeding when you elect not to
maximize the load in your feed mixer. The system can search the pen list to find smaller
pens to get the load as close to the maximum as possible or can be set to stop at the first
pen that will exceed the maximum load size.
Example;
Maximum load size is 8,000 of Ration 1
Pens and call weights:
Pen 1 2,000
Pen 2 2,000
Pen 3 2,000
Pen 4 3,000
Pen 5 1,000
With the option set to Look for smaller Pens that Fit, the load would total 7,000 and would
feed pens 1, 2, 3 and 5.
With the option set to Stop at first pen that is over, the load would total 6,000 and would
feed pens 1, 2 and 3.
