Abstract

See full text

In certain embodiments, a system includes a rotary encoder, a controller, and a rotary milking platform drive mechanism. The rotary encoder is operable to generate an input signal corresponding to the rotational speed of a rotary encoder wheel contacting at least a portion of a rotary milking platform. The controller is operable to receive the input signal generated by the rotary encoder and determine an actual rotational speed of the rotary milking platform based on the input signal. The controller is further operable to generate an output signal corresponding to a difference in rotational speed between the actual rotational speed of the rotary milking platform and a desired rotational speed for the rotary milking platform. The rotary milking platform drive mechanism is operable to receive the output signal and adjust the actual rotational speed of the rotary milking platform based on the output signal.
