Lumina 40 The feed installation32. The feed installationThe Lumina 40 is a computer used to control a feed installation.With the Lumina 40 the feed is transported from a weighed silo to the house.Parts of the feed installationA typical feed installation controlled by the Lumina 40 consists of the following parts:• 1(single) or 2(duo) silos. The 2(duo) silos version is placed on one frame.• Dosing out auger(s) of feed to the hoppers.• Feed lines with augers to transport the feed from the hoppers to the feed pans.• Sensors, controllers and auger drive mechanism.2.1 Important terms2.1.1 AfterflowThe afterflow is the amount of feed that still flows after the auger has been stopped.With automatic dosing in based on weight the control computer takes an afterflow into account. The dosing in augerwill stop before the weigher registers the required weight.The afterflow does not need to be set: the control computer calculates this automatically and adjusts this valueduring the feed process. The afterflow will not be adjusted if the actual afterflow is higher than the max. dosing indifference of the ingredient.2.1.2 CapacityThe dosing capacity of the silo must be set in the control computer. This setting is used in the following situations:• Determination of the maximum dosing time if the minimum amount decrease in 30 sec has not been set. Themaximum dosing time is five times the necessary calculated time. If Capacity Kg/minute has not been seteither, the control computer will use a maximum dosing time of 60 minutes.• Dosing in feed ingredients based on TIME. If the amount to be dosed is less than the afterflow, dosing in is timebased.2.1.3 Min. decreaseThe control computer will give a signal if the feed amount in the weigher does not decrease sufficiently within 30seconds. If not enough is dosed in of a feed ingredient, the control computer will try to re-start the entire dosingprocess several times.If an ingredient cannot be fully dosed from a silo, the control computer will try to switch to another silo storing thesame ingredient. If this is not possible, the control computer can use a replacement ingredient. The controlcomputer will give a message. If finding a replacement ingredient also fails, the control computer will stop the feedprocess and give a loud alarm.2.1.4 Max. bulk timeIf the bulk button is activated, the feed registration will be registered based on auger capacity and not on silo weight.As long as the input is HIGH, the time will repeatedly be initiated according to the set time. At the moment that theinput is LOW, the remaining time will be repeatedly decreased to 0. Registration will then be based on silo weightagain. |
