6 ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
All the data associated with vend price / button / shelf groups is accessible on the
Multivend Desktop App. This allows the user to change vend prices and modify the button
to shelf relationship using drop down boxes. To obtain the app, please contact our team.
To modify the settings of the Multivend Controller board, link a laptop computer to the
board via the USB port using a USB A to USB B cable. Once connected, open the Multivend
desktop app.
6.1 Vend price & button to shelf relationships.
6.1.1 Vend prices
See Fig 6-1
On the Shelves tab of the Multivend app, select the required value from the Price
dropdown box for the shelf you would like to change.
6.1.2 Button to shelf relationships
See Fig 6-2
On the Buttons tab of the Multivend app, using the Shelf dropdown boxes, assign each
shelf to a button.
6.1.3 Auxiliary shelf options
See Fig 6-3 and 6-4
If you would like to have one button operate two or more shelves, it is possible to set
the machine to look to another shelf (secondary shelf) once the primary shelf has been
emptied.
a) Select the Aux Shelf dropdown box on the Shelves tab of the Multivend app for the
primary shelf of your choice (for example Shelf 6 in Fig 6.3 below).
b) Select the secondary shelf you would like the machine to look towards once the
primary shelf has been emptied (for example, in this case the user has asked the
machine to look toward shelf 7 in Fig 6.4).
c) Repeat process (a) and (b) if you would like the machine to look toward a third shelf. If
not, leave the Aux shelf setting as “ Non ” on the secondary shelf, to stop the machine
from looking for another shelf. In the example below in Fig 6.3, it can be seen the
machine will not look any further than shelf 7 (the shelf 7 section has been set to
“ Non ” ).
d) Once the settings have been updated on the Shelves tab of the Multivend as seen in Fig
6.3. Select the Buttons tab on the app as shown in Fig 6.4.
