EVADTS CODES
The EVADTS (European Vending Association Data Trans-
fer System) communication protocol has two codes for
identifying the machine and for recognising the data
transfer terminal:
PASS CODE
It is a four-digit alphanumeric code (0-9; A-F) that must be
the same as the one in the data transfer terminal to allow
its identification.
Press the confirm button “ ” and the code is displayed as
“0000” regardless of the actual value; then press the
correction button “ ” and the first digit will start blinking.
Using the scrolling buttons, its value can be changed
(during the change operation the value becomes visible).
Press the confirm button “ ” and the next digit starts
blinking.
Press the confirm button “ ” after changing the fourth
digit; the value is stored and the display indicates “0000”
again.
SECURITY CODE
It is a further alphanumeric code for reciprocal recognition
between machine and EVADTS terminal.
Programming works as in the “Pass” code.
Connection
This function places the machine in wait mode for connec-
tion to retrieve data.
EVADTS CONNECTION
When activating this function, the machine awaits the
connection with a device to acquire the EVADTS statis-
tics.
GSM
The control software can send, via GSM modem, a signal
indicating a machine failure or an “ending product” “pre-
alarm”, after dispensing a programmable number of se-
lections.
The machine is pre-set to handle 7 pre-alarms.
The first five can be associated to spirals and the last 2 to
trays.
PIN CODE
This function is used for programming the identification
code that will be sent to the GSM modem (optional) when
switching the machine on.
SETTING THE THRESHOLDS
This function is used for defining the number of pieces
after which a “ending product” pre-alarm is signalled via
modem.
RESETTING THE COUNTERS
With this function the counters that control the pre-alarms
are reset.
THRESHOLD ASSOCIATION
This function is used for defining which spirals or trays to
associate to “pre-alarms” for “ending product”.
By associating spiral 10 to pre-alarm N. 1 and setting the
threshold to 10 units with the “threshold setting” function,
dispensing the tenth product from spiral 10 will generate
a pre-alarm N. 1.
By associating tray N. 5 to pre-alarm N. 6 and setting the
threshold to 30 units with the “threshold setting” function,
dispensing the thirtieth product from tray 5 will generate a
pre-alarm N. 6.
MACHINE BANK NUMBER
The number in the bank of machines (1 to 7) that identifies
the
machines that have the “slave GSM” function, therefore
sending data of the “master” machine via modem.
The number 0 identifies the machine that is connected
directly to the modem, i.e. the “master GSM”.
