Value of "exact amount"
This value defines the combination of empty coin tubes, setting the coin mechanism in "exact amount" mode.
The possible combinations of empty coin tubes are indicated below.
For greater simplicity, the combination is described with reference to tubes A, B and C, where tube A receives
the lower value coins and tube C the greater value coins.
0
=
A or (B and C)
1
=
A and B and C
2
=
A and B only
3
=
A and (B or C)
4
=
A only
5
=
A or B only (default)
6
=
A or B or C
7
=
A or B only
8
=
A or C only
9
=
B and C only
10
=
B only
11
=
B or C only
12
=
C only
C.P.C. device
It dialogues with the coin mechanism if devices are installed or removed from the serial interface (C.P.C.-type
devices - the monitoring unit is always enabled by default).
Minimum level of tubes
It brings forward the "Insert exact amount" message for the user, by adding a number of coins between 0 and
15 to the programmed number of coins, to set the "full change tubes" status.
Free Vend VMC
Most payment systems with the BDV protocol control the free vend function.
However, there are some payment systems without such function.
In this case, if free selections are to be dispensed, free vending must be enabled with VMC (vending machine
control, enabled by default) and the price of the selections must be set to zero.
mdb
The MDB protocol menus are used for defining the following functions:
Type of vending
Setting the operating mode for multiple or single dispensing. With multiple dispensing, the change is not
automatically returned after a successful selection; however the credit is available for further selections. When
pressing the coin return button (if the function is enabled), the available credit is returned up to the maximum
change value.
Obligation to buy / Change control
This function enables/disables the operation of the coin return button before dispensing a product. After the
selection is made, the coin return button will resume its function.
Maximum credit
This function is used to define the maximum credit that can be accepted.
Maximum change
It is possible to set a limit to the total amount of change returned by the coin mechanism when pressing the
coin return button or after a single dispensing serving.
Any credit exceeding the amount programmed with this function will be cashed.
Accepted coins
It is possible to define which, among the coins recognised by the coin mechanism, are to be accepted when
the change tubes are full.
Check the coin mechanism configuration for the correct coin to value matching.
Returned coins
It is possible to define which, among the coins available in the tubes, are to be used for returning the change.
This parameter is active only with coin mechanisms that do not automatically control the choice of tube to be
used (Auto changer payout).
Check the coin mechanism configuration for the correct coin to value matching.
