DISABLE DENOMINATIONS BY THE SW1 ROW
Connections
The selector connects to other peripherals and to the main board by the following sockets:
X1. Power supply and standard Pulse interface.
Connector X1 is an IDC 10-p socket (pin-out shown in grid here aside).
It consists of: 2 power supply pins (
pin 1 common/ground & pin 2 positive
),
1 input ( pin6, normally used to inhibit acceptance of coins ), and 7 “open
collector” outputs ( pins 3,4,5,7,8,9 & 10 ), one of which (pin 5) is normally
used for the multi-pulse totalizer (“open collector” output), or else as
additional input (i.e. for credit request).
OUTPUTS ACTIVE STATE = LOW (reversible)
INPUTS ACTIVE STATE = HIGH (reversible)
Upon request, the acceptor can be prepared for reverse supply polarity, so
as to emulate Spanish-style coin acceptors.
X2. SPI Display or intelligent peripherals.
Socket X2 (8 pins) is meant for display connection.
Displays with SPI or I²C bus protocols are supported (see
DISPLAY AD01 SPI SERIAL PROTOCOL
at page 20).
The acceptor must be preset by Alberici to host the display
(AA-0410-0900). Display functions can then be modified
by the ‘AlbericiCoinSelector’ programming software.
X3. CCTALK. The X3 4-p socket is for serial ccTalk® communication with the main
board. The protocol is preset for “slave mode” operation, and is described in Chapter 6.
This socket can be used in Pulse and standard cctalk selectors to modify the
programmed configuration of the selector, by PC and Alberici free software.
X4. USB Mini-B (option). The USB port allows to drive the acceptor directly the USB port of a PC Mother Board.
The USB port provides only the communication channel: the communication itself will be run by serial ccTalk®
protocol, that must therefore be implemented in the Host software (see Chapter 6).
To provide USB operation, the acceptor must be +12V powered through pins 2 and 4 in socket X3. This socket
will be enabled only after installation of the USB drivers on the Host (See ‘USB installation notice’ below).
USB pre-activation must be requested at the time of order.
Please be aware that USB coinmechs do not allow Operation in Pulse mode.
USB installation notice
- Install the drivers in the Host using the relevant executable file (i.e.: for Windows 7 64bit: “VCP_V1.5.0_Setup_W7
x64_64bits.exe”), available in the Alberici web site (FG coin acceptor page). Win 10 includes such drivers by default.
- Only after the drivers ("STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port") are installed, connect the coin acceptor through the USB;
- Windows OS will automatically start the installation of the driver;
- At the end of the installation process, a dialogue window will confirm "STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (COMxx)”.
- It is now possible to c12V power to the pins 2 (GND) and 4 (+) of the X3 socket.
PAY ATTENTION! Using a standard ccTalk interface circuit, the master (i.e. host mother board) receives
the echo back from the interface, and NOT from the slave (i.e. coin selector).
However, USB port is NOT a standard ccTalk interface circuit: no TX echo will be sent to the master!
Therefore the master must be programmed so as not to expect to receive the echo, or communication will end.
EACH PROGRAMMED CHANNEL CONTAINS ONE DENOMINATION. TO DISABLE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY COINS, MOVE TO OFF POSITION THE
DIP-SWITCH CORRESPONDING TO THE CHANNEL IN WHICH THE COIN IS PROGRAMMED (see grid below). THEN SWITCH OFF AND ON AGAIN.
