STRINGPIN PINSETTER CONTROLLER
The StringPin Controller is responsible for all functions and operations for both pinsetters on a
lane pair. It receives incoming power and makes it available to the string wagon drive motor and
ball accelerator motor and pinlights as needed. It also receives the signals from the switches on
each machine and controls the solenoids within the Pin Motion Interfaces (PMI). The following is a
description of the Controller’s components and connections.
