Follow the description for your feeding system.

How integration works

Sketch of feeding machinery and cages(units).

How it works:

  • Bluegrove Feeding assistant deals only with cages(units in the sketch).

  • Feeding assistant sends a signal to start feeding X kg/minute for cage Y.

  • It does not say which pipe to use.

  • Everything on the barge is handled by the feeding system, not feeding assistant.

When speaking with feeding system, Feeding Assistant refers to cages by their “External id”.

a. AKVA Control 10 - Uses Piscada OAP.

  1. Update the settings in AKVA Control 10 according to the user manual.

  2. Check if feed is coming out in the correct cage. If the feed comes out in the wrong cage, please call Bluegrove tech support on +47 72 90 92 22. They will follow the procedure for changing pipe in Piscada OAP.

b. AKVA Connect 2.13-2.17 - Uses Piscada OAP.

  1. Update the settings in AKVA Connect according to the user manual.

  2. Check if feed is coming out in the correct cage. If the feed comes out in the wrong cage, please call Bluegrove tech support on +47 72 90 92 22. They will follow the procedure for changing pipe in Piscada OAP.

2. Fluctus - All versions

  1. Update the settings in Fluctus according to the user manual. No further steps required.

  1. Check to see if external cage ID is unchanged, if so: no action is required.

  2. If the external id is changed:

    1. Inform Piscada about new feeding-line ID

    2. When Piscada has reconfigured the line, do a test meal.

Procedure for testmeal

Procedure

Note: check that the farm server time is the actual world time (in farm’s timezone) - there should not be delays. Use timedatectl in terminal to check it:

  • you need to make sure NTP service is active and System clock synchronised is yes, e.g.: 

  • timedatectl
               Local time: Mon 2022-07-04 17:54:21 CEST
           Universal time: Mon 2022-07-04 15:54:21 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2022-07-04 15:54:21
                Time zone: Europe/Oslo (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

Before the test meal:

  • Ask which blower level they normally use and use the same during testing!!!

  • There’s a known issue with the very first meal when we do not know the last known intensity so far, so:

    • try to change the intensity right away

    • if that doesn’t help (and feeding starts with not ours intensity) - try to start the meal once again from CageEye.

📋 Steps

Feeding control via CageEye

  • 1. Cage 1: Flush a pipe for a minute -> confirm that the blower has started.
  • 2. Cage 1: Change the intensity during pipe flush-> confirm that the feeding is not started in Feeding System.
  • 3. Start a meal with 1 kg/min intensity -> confirm that feed spreader started.
  • 4. Adjust the intensity back and forth -> confirm that it adjusted by feeding system
  • 5. Adjust the blower level back and forth -> confirm that it adjusted by feeding system
  • 6. Pause the meal -> confirm that ONLY blower keep working
  • 7. Stop the meal -> confirm that ONLY blower keep working with no intensity
  • 8. Complete stop -> confirm that the blower has stopped
  • 9. Start/stop Cage 2 (or another in the same feeding line) -> confirm that feeding system switched to it properly (at least blower).
  • 10. Switch all cages to passive mode by bulk and make a short meal directly in the feeding system -->> confirm that we do recieve blower level, intensity, fed amount)
  • 11. Switch all cages to active mode by bulk -->> confirm that feeding is not restarted and check logs


Max feed amount control via CageEye

Preconditions:
- add 2 kg “Max Limit” to the current limit via directly via the feeding system
- add 3 kg “Max Limit” to the current limit via CageEye

  • 1. Start a meal with 5 kg/min intensity -> confirm that feed spreader started.
  • 2. Wait until Max feed amount that has been set in the feeding system reached -> confirm that meal session is NOT stopped.
  • 3. Wait until Max feed amount that has been set in CageEye reached in the feeding system -> confirm that meal session is stopped automatically both CageEye and FS.
  • 4. Add Max Limit in CageEye and start feeding again -->> confirm that Max feed amount is increased in FS and feeding has been started.

P/F/M for ScaleAQ
Preconditions:

  • Add fish amount

  • Add fish weight

  • Add pellet type

  • 1. Start a meal with 0.1 p/f/m -> confirm that intensity in p/f/m/ is the same in ScaleAQ and coming in kg/m in logs
  • 2. Change 0.2 p/f/m -> confirm that intensity in kg/m is changed

  • No labels
