ABSTRACT:
A milking machine pulsation control includes a microcontroller which generates a pulse width modulated drive signal to control current to pulsator valves, with a high current for pull-in and a lower current for holding. The pulse width modulated drive signal is based on line voltage and compensated for supply frequency. A zero crossing circuit controls internal switching at zero volts to reduce noise. A watchdog circuit resets the computer in the event of latch-up as a result of circuit transients. An over-current shut-down circuit the switches that operate the valve. Synchronism is provided with other pulsation controls. Operator input switches and visual displays are multiplexed to the microcontroller.
