General
The Transmitter/Receiver Single Feeding (T/R SF) is used for identifying and feeding
animals in a feed station. Three or four motors can be connected.

3 outputs T/R art. nr. 9845062
•
4 outputs T/R art. nr. 9863397
This transmitter/receiver can also be used for a floor antenna in the feed station for
leg respactors, see special chapter at the end.

CPS4FSS
The name of the EPROM for the standard feed station is CPS4FSS x.xx.
Description of the code : Cattlecode Poiesz Single feeder VC4 Feed Station
Standard, x.xx = version number.
This VC4 Transmitter / Receiver can only identify responders with a fast code (X-
ponders and respactors)

T/R-single 1 and T/R-single 2
The T/R-single 2 is the new generation hardware for the T/R-single. The PCB has
been re-designed in order to meet the new EMC demands in Europe. Furthermore,
the board has been extended with a 4th motor connection. The motor connections
are now fully protected against over-voltage and short circuiting.
In this module, the existing generation Single feeder hardware will be referenced as
T/R-single 1, to distinguish it from the redesigned version, the T/R-single 2.

T/R-single 2 : new motor brake circuit
On the T/R-single 2 PCB the motor control circuitry has been changed. The new
motor connections include a common brake circuitry, that is used to slow motors
down quickly.

When an T/R-single 1 board is replaced by a T/R-single 2 board, please check
the parking-position of the motors that are connected.
For every motor connection (output), the use of the new brake circuit has to be
enabled. This can be done by means of the “brake jumpers”. These jumpers to the
left (“BRAKE” or “BR”) enables the brake system for the corresponding motor. The
brake system should be enabled for an output only when a motor is connected to that
output. When e.g. a solenoid, or a lamp is connected, the brake system must be
disabled for that output. If the brake system is enabled e.g. for a connected lamp,
and the lamp is switched on, this will interfere with the brake function of a motor,
connected to another port.
When over heated the brake circuit will switch off, the brake does not function
anymore at that moment, when the temperature drops again, the brake function will
restore itself.

Compatibility Single 1 versus Single 2
The T/R-single 2 PCB has been set up in such a manner, that all programs that run
on the T/R-single 1 hardware, also run on the new board of T/R Single 2.
