Claim Text:
1. A rotating animal milking platform control and monitoring system, comprising: a platform ( a control system ( the control system including an interactive display ( i) output information relating to the control computer monitored current status of operations on the platform, ii) a representation of the annular shape of the platform with each of the stalls graphically represented by a cell ( iii) within the cells, real-time status information relating to the control computer monitored operations on the platform, and iv) within the cells, input channels for use by an operator, the input channels individually selectable by the operator to reveal additional status information relating to control computer monitored operations of the corresponding stall, wherein, the control system a) monitors the rotation of the platform and each stall within the platform, and b) as the platform rotates, periodically updates the interactive display so that the rotating movement of the platform is represented by a progression of the graphical representation of each cell within the representation of the annular shape of the platform, with a position of the graphical representation of each cell within the representation of the annular shape, corresponding at all times to the current position of the corresponding stall on the platform, and wherein the real-time status information displayed within each cell shows one or more process parameters displayed at one or more respective discrete sub-locations inside the cell, the one or more respective discrete sub-locations in each cell adopting a specific and unique relative arrangement in the cell for each represented circumferential position of the cell, said specific and unique relative arrangement in the cell for each respective discrete sub-location changing with angular position of the cell about a periphery of the representation of the annular shape.
