摘要:
A control unit (120) controls (Ctrl) an automatic milking machine (110) to operate in accordance with control commands and/or parameter settings (CMD). A local user interface (130) is fixedly arranged at the milking machine (110) to receive operator- generated instructions, and in response thereto produce the control commands and/or parameter settings (CMD) to the control unit (120). Alternatively, the control commands and/or parameter settings (CMD) are received via a network (150) and a communication interface (140) from a remote terminal (161, 162, 163). In response to a first operator-generated instruction, the local user interface (130) produces a lock command (CMD[lk]) causing the automatic milking machine (110) to be set in a single-control mode in which it is locked to operate exclusively in response to control commands and/or parameter settings (CMD) from a single control source (130, 161, 162, 163) identified in connection with producing the lock command (CMD[lk]). The single control source is either the local user interface (130) or a particular remote terminal (161, 162, 163). This kind of locking guarantees a predictable operation of the milking machine (110), which is a key safety factor for any personnel located in proximity of the milking machine (110).
