The
Validator/Separator
group
of the Aeterna Coin Mechanism is characterized by a considerable
speed in coin recognition and their addressing. The new reading systems (optical and magnetic)
permit a higher precision in the coin recognition and therefore a higher reliability in the false
distinction.
The measures read at the coin passage are sent to the Base board of the Coin Mechanism to carry
out the comparison with the model data. When the coin is recognized, that is when the
parameters correspond with those programmed in the model, the Base board communicates to the
Validator/Separator group the coin addressing to the cash, to one of the five tubes or if it should
be rejected.
In the external side of the conveyor is placed the numbering of the tubes just as they are arranged
inside the Coin Mechanism.
The firmware update of the Validator/Separator group is described in detail at the end of chapter
3 (see para. 3.4. “Firmware update”).
