Overview • Concepts driving the development • Hardware aspects • General concepts • Presentation of the modules • Communication • Software aspects • Future development
Concepts driving the development • Focus on market needs • High quality products • 5 Year warranty • Option of PING WARRANTY (need to be connected to web) • Minimize inventory for dealers • Whether you’re needs are 2 variable with 2 on/off • or 8 variable with 120 on/off, and 16 inlets. It’s done with • The same control. • Facilitate service for dealers • Goal : NO repair department • Facilitate training for dealers
Hardware aspects • Modular design • With 8 different boards, we can offer a complete line of products • Power supply • Top board • Input board • Variable board • Relay base board (for 2 modules) • Relay module (with 2 relays, 1.5HP each) • Override switch board • Load cell input board
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Safety • Temperature sensor on EVERY output • Current measurement on EVERY output • Fuses on EVERY output (except alarm) • Feedback on critical signals to make sure every module is working properly • Surge protection on every input, alarm relay (including gas tubes) and variable output • Certain relays can be used as N/C for a fail safe condition.
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Highlights of power supply module • Alarm relay with strong surge protection • Switching power supply • More efficient • Less heat build-up in the box • Plug-in connectors
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Highlights of Top board • Color touch screen • Linux operating system • Ethernet communication • Allows wireless communication, e-mails, SMS, etc. • USB ports • SD memory card which contains ALL the information (parameters AND software)
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Highlights of the input board • 12 completely configurable inputs (temperature, 4-20 mA, 0-10V, water meters, etc.) • Gas tube protection • 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Variable board • 10 Amp output • Current and temperature measurement • 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic • Very high quality components, which will ensure long life • Innovative high voltage design which protects other components if one fails • Large heatsink with clips (as opposed to screws) to attach triac which will ensure high product reliability and ease servicing.
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Relay board • Up to 4 relays (2 plug-in modules of 2 relays) • 10 Amp / 1.5HP output • Current and temperature measurement of each relay • 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic • Feedback to make sure the relay coils are actually energized (Smart Switch Relays) • Each relay has a fuse • 2 potentiometer inputs • Override switches connect directly to the relay boards
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Switch override board • 2 options • 2 independent on/off/auto switches • 1 manual/auto and a potentiometer • 2-color LEDs show status of each switch • Microprocessor for every board tells main control which switches are in manual or automatic mode • Retains last known parameters if control fails. • If one switch fails, you only have 2 switches to change instead of a large board (a lot less expensive) • ESD protection on every switch
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Load cell measurement board • MUCH more accurate than competitors • MAY allow to skip calibration altogether • 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic • Can be used for • Bird weighing • Bin weighing • Feed scale • Multi-ration feeding
Hardware aspects (cont.) • Box • 14x21” size • Allows sufficient space for 8 boards AND wiring the boards easily • Up to 4 variable boards in one box. • This means up to 3V12SA w/12 inputs + 2x 0-10 V outputs in ONE box. • The SAME box is used for relay panels (1 power supply + 7 relay modules = 28 relays) • NO clear cover. Mil-spec silicone rubber boots • No need to drill holes in box to add variable modules.
Communication • MODBUS communication between modules and boards • Provides complete alarm and diagnostic status for every board • Allows access to existing industrial modules (frequency drives, etc.) • Ethernet communication between controls • Enables us to use readily available wireless solutions • Allows each controller to access the internet • Download new software • Add new features
Communication (cont,) • Alarm • Connected to the internet, will send text and or emails to notify of any alarm condition. • More reliable and faster than any dialer. (If connected to UPS) • With smartphone, log on and acknowledge alarm or make changes. • Inovarum compatible • When using any of the Inovarum software modules all data will automatically update in real time.
Inovarum Technical performance Flocks Filters Flocks List Total Living Average Weight Bird Movement Feeding Information Mortality Rate Economical Information Technical Information Flock Value EPEF Information A productivity software that helps capture data, centralizes actions and To-do's and manages producers’ activities from contingency rights & procurement planning, flock scheduling, feed programs & building preparation, production monitoring to live haul. A governance tool that provides detailed & summarized technical and financial performance to help owners, farm managers and employees with their production responsibilities A performance monitoring solution that provide users with just-in-time data, status, warnings, reports and applied corrective measures to ensure production meets expected results
Inovarum Possible solutions to production challenges Issues Challenges Solutions Planning & Scheduling Maximizing contingency rights planning and procurement for each period and appropriately allocate flocks according to buildings availabity and capacity Continuous capacity and resources planning and scheduling Production monitoring Daily monitoring of key technical and financial performance indicators through on-site data capture Planning and monitoring deficiencies resulting in not meeting the proper weight and mortality ratios, therefore impacting on contractual agreements Profitability Constant access to planned vs actual vs to completion costs, revenue and expected financial performance Difficulty to capture, allocate and report flock’s technical and financial data during production prevent constant visibility on margins performance and returns Best practices compliance Integrating and computerizing compliance criteria will standardize and increase production success and ensure meeting best practices expectations Difficulty to adopt, standardize and meet best practices results in seeing compliance agencies and guidelines as control entities and measures
Software aspects • Linux based operating system reliable base for • Emails • Communication • USB • SD card • Wireless, etc. • Everything is on the screen • Keyboard • Status • Edit parameters
Software aspects (cont.) • Data-logging on the control (8GB SD card) • Remote access to allow dealers to verify issues • Diagnostics codes stored on boards to allow “Black-box” type analysis after a failure • Remotely update software for top board AND modules
Software aspects (cont.) • ONE software for ALL controllers • Adding boards or modules adds features • “Pay as you go” for • Bird weighing • Feed or bin weighing • Multi-ration feeding • Chain-disk control • Setup Wizard • Detects the modules and boards which are currently attached and adjusts the installation process accordingly
