General description

J-Link (access point)

The J-Link (Figure 5-1) serves as robot data storage.
The J-Link communicates wirelessly with the robot(s) via a ZigBee connection.

It allows:

Data to be exchanged.
Data to be displayed.

The J-Link stores data for 30 days, after which the old data is overwritten.

JMS

The J-Link must be connected to the internet for it to be able to communicate with the JMS (JOZ Management System).

Every ten minutes, the data is sent to the JMS database in bundles of 1000 lines.
The serial number and token (see §4.5) are also used for the purpose of identification and security.

J-Touch controller

The J-Link will work without the J-Touch. The J-Touch is part of the robot and only functions as a display and hand controller.
The J-Touch (Figure 5-2) is used to change the settings on the J-Link.
The J-Touch must be connected to the J-Link by a data cable.

USB connection
Stored data can be copied to the USB stick using the USB socket on the side of the J-Link (Figure 5-3).

Controls

Unauthorized persons may only access the operational area of the slurry scraper or feed pushing robot under supervision!

Always keep at least 50 cm around the robot clear. Take extreme care not to become trapped!
Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the charging station!
Place a barrier or fence around the charging station so the cattle cannot get near it!

See the relevant robot manual for specific robot controls.
The J-Link is programmed by the engineer.
The J-Touch is not supplied with the J-Link. The J-Touch is a part of the robot and can be used on J-Link.

Follow the steps below to operate the J-Link:

Connect the J-Touch (Figure 6-1) using the data cable on the J-Link.
