Linking Cows to Ear Tags using MicroMarque3S Software v4.29 or above

The cow number (freeze brand) and its electronic ear tag number are different; the first is just a few digits long, the latter

is a huge 16-digit number. When the MicroMarque3S reads an ear tag it needs to associate it with the cow number so

that the correct record can be accessed and the ration data extracted.

The process of associating the cow number and tag number is called linking. It occurs just once for each cow and

thereafter identification becomes fully automatic.

To link the herd:

Ensure that the MicroMarque3S is in program mode (subroutine 638).

Make sure subroutine 308 is enabled.

Fill one side of the parlour with cows ready for milking.

All of the stalls MUST be occupied and all of the cows MUST be fitted with ear tags- preferably in the left ear.

Press SHIFT+RESET. The MicroMarque3S will default to stall(1) on the default side.

Press the Scanning Switch mounted on the bottom edge of the control towards the side to be scanned. This will

start the scanning process. Starting at stall (1), the MicroMarque3S will attempt to read an ear tag at

each stall on that side. The stall being read currently will be displayed in the Stall/Side window and the

message ScAn' will flash in the CUMULATIVE TOTALS window.

When scanning is complete the display will show 'ScAn End' and the CUMULATIVE TOTALS window will clear.

The MicroMarque3S now has a 'map' of the stalls in its memory with an ear tag number allocated to

each. The buzzer will be bleeping.

Press the ATTN key. The display will now have 3 underscore prompts in the COW NUMBER window, the

message 'Ltg' (Link Tag) in the RATION window and the current stall in the STALL/SIDE window, starting

with stall(1).

Key in the number (freeze brand) of the cow at that stall. There are now 2 options:

Press FEED. Cow and tag are linked and the cow will be allocated a ration of 1, as well as being fed a

ration of 1. The MicroMarque3S increments to the next stall ready for the next cow number to be

entered. NB - Pre-programmed cows will be fed their pre-programmed ration.

Press ENTER. Cow and tag are linked and the cow will be allocated a ration of 0, and will not be fed a

ration. The MicroMarque3S increments to the next stall ready for the next cow number to be

entered.

When the cow occupying the last stall is linked and fed, the display shows the message 'Attn End' and the

buzzer stops.

To change a cows ration:

Key in the cow number and press ENTER.

Press the RATION key and the ration window will clear for entry.

Key in the new ration in the range 0 to 99 feed units.

Press ENTER. The ration is changed and written into memory.
