VP1801 Reader Motor Control

The VP1801 is a Velos component that is used to identify animals for feeding, weighing, milking, heat detection etc. The VP1801 is equipped with an internal switch to support a double Ethernet connection (web interface ready) and the existing VC3 interface. The Ethernet channel is used for the main functionality and communication like software updates and service. An extra communication channel is available for the VC3 systems. The function is the same as the existing Single Feeder. The VP1801 can be installed in a V-box.

A VP1801 can be connected in different ways:

 To a shielded Ethernet cable and controlled by a switch or VPU:

When connecting the Ethernet cable, the VP1801 automatically detects TX/RX , plus and minus connections, and switches to the correct connection.

 To a shielded four wire cable and controlled by a VC3 host:

The SYNC connection is necessary for HDX ISO synchronization between other readers. For FDX a SYNC connection is possible, but not necessary if only one antenna is used. When two antennas are used the SYNC connection is always needed, even when FDX-only (no ISO) mode is enabled. The switching between the two antennas uses the ISO timing.

The F SYNC connection is necessary when the distance between two antennas is ≤ 3 m. Connect the F SYNC as shown in the picture below.

Installation steps Ethernet

Step 1

Install the VP1801 in the V-box (or other box). See the manual of the relevant equipment (feeding station, separation unit etc.) where is indicated how to install the V-box.

Step 2

Connect all required wiring. See the manual of the relevant equipment and the manual of the required behaviour component.

Step 3

Power up and check the LED indicators, see also the overview on page 9.

Step 4

When the system is equipped with the auto-addressing function, the host computer requires the address. Select “Sp > y” in the display menu of the VP1801, see page 6. Go to Step 8.

Step 5

When auto-addressing is not available, set the required address manually via “Ad” in the display menu, see page 6.

Step 6

Check the ip settings via “IP” in the display menu, see page 6. Default DHCP is on. When DHCP must be switched off, set the required ip address settings via “IP” in the display menu. When DHCP is switched off, the default IP address is

192.168.1.100.

Step 7

Check the antenna tuning. Select “HF > H1 > tu” in the display menu to start and enable autotune, see page 7. If external manual adjustment is used (e.g. adjustable antenna-trafo), select “AA” in the display menu, see page 7.

Step 8

Test the functioning. See manual of the behaviour component. In case of malfunctioning the connected devices like sensors, motors, valves can be checked with options from menu option “It”, see page 7.

Installation steps VC3

Step 1

Install the VP1801 in the V-box (or other box). See the manual of the relevant equipment (feeder, separation unit etc.) where is indicated how to install the Vbox.

Step 2

Connect all required wiring. See the manual of the relevant VC3 application.

Step 3

Power up and check the LED indicators, see also overview on page 9.

Step 4

Set the required VC3 address via “CO > SA” in the display menu, see page 8.

Step 5

Select the VC3 application and other relevant VC3 settings via “CO > AP”, see page

Step 5

Step 6

Test the functioning. See the manual of the VC3 application. In case of malfunctioning of the connected devices like sensors, motors, valves execute a test with options from menu option “It”, see page 7.

Connections

See the manual of the concerning behaviour component for a detailed overview of the connections. O5 is default controlled by the identification process of the VP1801 itself, and can be overruled by the behaviour component. If the V-box has a signal light, connect it default to O5.

When connecting the Ethernet cable, the VP1801 automatically detects TX/RX , plus and minus connections, and switches to the correct connection.
