1. Introducon
Spider is of interest for dairy farmers who would like to feed automatically, regardless of company size. The Spider consists
of a SpiderServer with SpiderAntennas. It can read 16 Antennas, control 16 feed dispensers, and operate 12 air vents
within a 10 m range. A motor can be connected to each exit, e.g. a motor that dispenses concentrate. The electronics in a
Spider box are capable of controlling four feeding stations, each with four different types of feed. Using one control box,
one type of feed can be dispensed in a 2 x 8 milking parlour. For greater range and/or more outputs, the SpiderServer can
be expanded with one or more SpiderClients (same number of outputs as the SpiderServer).
The informaon in this manual is aimed at dairy farmers and technicians.
• Dairy farmers use the informaon to test and adjust Spider or to list overviews.
• Technicians use the informaon to install and set up the Spider.

3. Installaon Hardware
General comment:
The Spider is Hanskamp's feeding computer for automacally dispensing concentrate to
individual animals in the milking parlour or feeding staon. It is great for any dairy farmer
interested in automated and economical feeding, regardless of company size. One of the
Spider's perks is that, in most cases, it will work with transponders you already have. The
Spider's user interface has been designed in a logical way, making it easy to control Spider
from your PC, smartphone, or tablet. The SpiderServer establishes its own wi network,
providing access to the built-in web server and allowing you to quickly and easily adjust
concentrate porons for individual animals or groups, and monitor problem animals.
This instruction will help you to install the Spider. Read this instruction carefully and
follow the safety instructions.
Examples of installation can be found at www.hanskamp.nl/en.
The order numbers and names of accessories can be found in attachments 13.1 (SpiderServer)
and 13.2 (SpiderClient).

3.2 Installaon in FeedStaon
1. Check if all components are present according to the parts list at the
back of the manual.
2. Find a locaon for the Spider near the feeding staon (max. 10 meters
distance). The locaon must be dry, easily accessible and have a power
supply (24VDC PowerUnit). Once a suitable locaon has been found,
the Spider can be installed. Use the included mounng hardware to
aach the unit's mounng feet to the outside of the case. To aach
the Spider to the feeding staon, use the case mounng plate (art. no.
004-247-000). Install the SpiderServer on one side and the PowerUnit
(art. no. 002-812-000) on the other.
3. Install the SpiderAntenna on the feed trough and run the cable to the
Spider unit. Make sure that it is out of reach of the animals (g. 1).
See chapter 3.2.2 for ear and leg recognion.
Cauon: The Antenna cable must not be shortened.
Shortening the cable will negavely aect Antenna
performance.
4. Connect the SpiderAntenna to the SpiderPCB as illustrated in gure 2.
The core is + and the sheath is -.
All inputs and outputs are numbered, as is the cable entry plate
(art. no. 005-161-001) (g. 3). Ensure that the holes line up with the inputs
and outputs to keep the cables uncluered.
Example: 4 feeding staons with 4 feed types and a closing gate (g. 4).
Please note! A black Antenna is 120 kHz!

Hanskamp AgroTech B.V. (The Netherlands) www.hanskamp.nl/en
The SpiderPCB can be freely congured, allowing control of up to 16
feeding staons with 1 feed type. If this is not enough, the SpiderServer
can be expanded with a SpiderClient, doubling the number of inputs
and outputs. Connect the units with a shielded data cable (art. no. 005-
109-000 SF/UTP CAT5E).
Cauon! The feeding staons must not be more than 10
meters apart, as the Antenna cable is 15 meters long.
If they are further apart, you will need to use an extra
SpiderClient.
5. Use the data cable (art. no. 005-107-000) to connect the
SpiderPCB to the CarrierBoard. The SpiderClient can be
connected in the same way. Use the ethernet (LAN) ports on
the CarrierBoard and SpiderPCB. The ethernet (LAN) ports on
the CarrierBoard serve as a switch. Do NOT connect the
SpiderPCB or SpiderClient to the WAN port on the le (g. 7).
6. Connect the CarrierBoard and the SpiderPCB to the 24VDC
power supply. The SpiderPCB comes with two power ports
which are linked internally. The second port can be used to
power the CarrierBoard (g. 8).
7. An extra data cable (art. no. 005-109-000) is required to
connect the Spider to a PC in your home network. Connect the
extra data cable to the WAN port on the CarrierBoard and the
router in your home network. The Spider can then be accessed
through the web browser on any PC in the network. See
chapter 3.2.3.1 for informaon on ng data cables.
Note: If the SpiderServer and router are more than 100
meters apart, a switch must be used in between.

3.3 Installaon in the milking parlour
As Spider has 16 Antenna inputs and 16 feed outputs, it can also be used for individual feeding in the milking parlour. Every
posion can be seen as a feeding staon. Please refer to chapter 3.2.1 for instrucons on how to connect.
3.3.1 Connecng the limit switch
A limit switch can be installed to prevent animals from being recognised and stopping before the last stall. The limit switch
deacvates the Antennas during the switch. This prevents feeding unl all the cows are in the correct posion.
The below example shows the correct set up for a 2x8 milking parlour.
Detecon port 1works for feeder 1-4
2works for feeder 5-8
3works for feeder 9-12
4works for feeder 13-16
This can be connued as in the example. In this instance, one switch is used for feeders 1-8 and one for feeders 9-16.
Detecon 1 and 2 are connected in this example

3.3.2 Examples of installaon in the milking parlour
Figure 15: Leg recognion
To determine the posion of the Antenna, consider the posion of the animal and where the transponder will be situated.
Ensure that the animal's transponder is within the boundaries of the Antenna.
Figure 16-17: Ear recognion
Use the mounng kit (art. no. 007-535-000) for installaon on the
MulFrame (40° - 50° & 60° - 70°). Because the animals all have their
ear transponders on the same side, the Antenna must be installed on the
opposite wall of the milking parlour. The cable can be run through the side
by breaking o the tab on the Antenna (g. 19).
Figure 18: Neck recognion
A mounng bracket (art. no. 007-525-000) is available for installing neck
recognion.
