4.2 MPU6 board
The MPU6 board is a single board controller comprising a microprocessor, memory and
various ports for hoppers, SEC Meter, USB A, B and for receiving inputs from switches. The
MPU6 board is secured to the back of the cabinet either directly or on a bracket dependent
on the machine type. This allows easy replacement of the MPU6 board when required.
Electrical connections to the board terminations are made through cutaways in the moulded
housing by means of a 64 – way connector, D type connectors for Datapak, Stake/Jackpot
keys and Percentage.
Also there are two USB ports:
•
USBA to allow program, RAM Clear or system updates.
•
USBB for interfacing for PC applications.
The stereo speaker outputs are provided from the S/PDif and can also receive input audio
signals from external sources, to be played through the machines stereo speakers.
4.3 MUX5/MUX5(E) Board
The MUX5 or MUX5E board provides additional ports and drivers to extend the capabilities
of the MPU6 system, and includes an on-board processor to directly control these devices
under supervision of the MPU6 board.
The board is mounted on injection moulded stand-off insulators behind the top glass of the
machine or in most cases on a bracket on the back of the machine. In some machines two
MUX5 boards may be fitted. The stand-off insulators have special “squeezable” tops, which
allow for the easy replacement of a MUX5(E) board if required.
Electrical connection to the board is by means of I.D.C. connectors which are colour coded.
The difference between the MUX5 and MUX5E version has an extra interface to provide an
extra 64 lamps.
Please note this PCB is not applicable to Triple 7 machines.
4.4 REEL5 control board
The REEL5 control board controls between three and five reels, using an on-board
processor, which operates under supervision of the MPU6 board. The PCB is fitted behind
the reel assembly and is secured by means of four spring tabs.
Normally these are to a wooden shelf or reel base plate dependent on model of the machine.
Please note this PCB is only applicable to reel base machines..
