Transmission of coin values via coin pulses and coin signal
lines
By default each coin accepted by the coin validator sends a pulse to the machine control via
the coin signal line assigned to it. A pulse signals to the machine control that a coin has been
accepted.
Six or, in case of the binary BACTA mode, four coin signal lines are available to the coin validator.
Depending on the signal line activated the machine knows the coin denomination (coin value)
concerned.
Assignment of coin denomination and coin signal line is determined by customized factory
programming.
In case of coin validators with BDTA interface or BACTA devices in the binary
mode, you can also assign a certain combination of signal lines, i.e. several
signal lines, to a coin type for differentiation.
5.4.1
Multiple pulses
If the number of coin denominations programmed exceeds the number of signal lines available,
several coin pulses (multiple pulses, 255 max.) per coin can be assigned to the coin denominations,
so that the machine distinguishes the coin denominations not by the signal line but by the
number of pulses. In this case a multiple of a small coin is assigned to higher value coins, e.g.
if a €2 coin is inserted, two coin pulses would be sent to the vending machine control via the
coin signal line assigned to the €1 coin.
The number of coin pulses is determined by customized factory programming.
By default the pulse-to-pause ratio is programmed 1:1. However, it can also be programmed
with a longer pause of 300 ms.
5.4.2
Coin pulse length
By default the coin pulse length is programmed to 100 ms. On request, however, it can be
programmed shorter, e.g. for multiple pulses (possible programming: 20–300 ms).
