MPCII addressesFor the milking parlours in the system, theMPCII start address has to be programmed.The default value is 80 and refers to the“first MPCII”, which is the MPCII nearest theexit at left side of the parlour; in ourexample MPCII No. L1.

GENERALNO OF PARLOURS: 1START ADDR MPCII: 80CONFIRM WITH GATE BUTTON: NOLOW YIELD (%): 80MILK PRICE: 1.00YIELD STORAGE MODE: 1MILKING TIME ISO STANDARD

✽ The start address is programmed in function6:3:1 in the system processor. Let 80remain as start address, unless the numberof MPCIIs is so high, that the last addresswill be higher than 127. Then program astart address that is sufficiently lower than80.

Set address before you attach MPCII toalcom bus. If a special MPCII is to beinstalled, set the node address at thehighest number.

The system processor will now, starting with80, identify all the other MPCIIs according to:

L1–L7: 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 R1–R7: 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93

if the parlour is a 2x7 hb-installation.

Next step is to program each MPCII inproper order with the above addresses:

- MPCII in standby mode, or power-upmode.

- Bring function F79↑.

Address No. 1 is shown on the MPCIIdisplay.

- Program the MPCII address, e.g. 82 forMPCII L3.

- Press ↑.

- Press the password 6285 and ↑.

- Repeat for all MPCIIs.

MPCII addressesFor the milking parlours in the system, theMPCII start address has to be programmed.The default value is 80 and refers to the“first MPCII”, which is the MPCII nearest theexit at left side of the parlour; in ourexample MPCII No. L1.

GENERALNO OF PARLOURS: 1START ADDR MPCII: 80CONFIRM WITH GATE BUTTON: NOLOW YIELD (%): 80MILK PRICE: 1.00YIELD STORAGE MODE: 1MILKING TIME ISO STANDARD

✽ The start address is programmed in function6:3:1 in the system processor. Let 80remain as start address, unless the numberof MPCIIs is so high, that the last addresswill be higher than 127. Then program astart address that is sufficiently lower than80.

Set address before you attach MPCII toalcom bus. If a special MPCII is to beinstalled, set the node address at thehighest number.

The system processor will now, starting with80, identify all the other MPCIIs according to:

L1–L7: 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 R1–R7: 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93

if the parlour is a 2x7 hb-installation.

Next step is to program each MPCII inproper order with the above addresses:

- MPCII in standby mode, or power-upmode.

- Bring function F79↑.

Address No. 1 is shown on the MPCIIdisplay.

- Program the MPCII address, e.g. 82 forMPCII L3.

- Press ↑.

- Press the password 6285 and ↑.

- Repeat for all MPCIIs.

Operation


94381001.pdf2006-07-20

Enter keyThe enter (↑) key is used to enter a cownumber or a function. It could also be usedfor confirming milking of a row that is not fullwith cows. The key also steps forward in afunction.

"Escape"+ To bring back the previous position (the

position that the MPCII had before thepresent function was selected).

DisplayThe display shows cow numbers, milk yieldand the result of the function key inputs.

A "C" on the top left hand of the displayshows that the milk weights are sent to thesystem processor - they are confirmed.

In stand-alone: the "C" means that the milkweight is stored in the local memory of theMPCII. The local memory can store 32 cowsand 32 milk weights.

In stand-alone installations is remind LED 1(yellow) used to indicate that the milk bufferis full. The LED is flashing when the 31stmilk weight has been saved. 32 milkweights can be stored in the buffer. Input ofanother milk weight will then throw out thefirst stored weight.

If a cow has not been milked completelyduring one revolution, she may stay on theRotary for an additional revolution.

- Program F100 ↑ before the cow hasreached the position where milk yield willbe confirmed (see chapter Generaldescription, position 3), and she willcontinue to be milked during a secondround.

- If, however, F100 ↑ is pressed afterposition 3, the cow will continue to bemilked during a second round. But, whenmilk yield is confirmed at position 3 thesecond time, milk yield from the firstround will be sent to function 3:7:3,PROBLEM YIELDS (as Already milked)and appear on the Problem List. Milk yieldfrom the second round will however bestored normally.

F101 – Stop of platformThis function will stop the rotation of theplatform when the cow reaches the confirmplace, by sending a no cluster removalsignal from the special MPCII via a relay tothe drive control system. A function that canbe used for e.g. removal of a cows kickprotector before exit. It is deactivated withF101 if the kick protector has been removedbefore confirm place.
