3.3 Modular Design
The Unit is divided into several functional modules. This enables you to quickly isolate a problem, minimizing downtime.
Basic Configuration
The Unit consists of five major modules; the transport mechanism, main controller PCB, the user interface module,
communications daughter PCB and the enclosure. The transport mechanism contains all of the motors, sensors, and drive
components necessary to burst, transport and print a coupon. The main controller PCB has all the circuitry for driving
motors and solenoids, monitoring sensors and formatting print data. On the communications daughter board is where all of
the circuitry for communication with the host resides. The user interface module is used for setting up the Unit on initial
installations and for displaying messages pertaining to the status of the Unit. The enclosure contains an auto-sensing power
supply (for 110/220 environments) and an IEC 320 A/C input module.
Options
Magnetic encoder module can be purchased installed or added later as a factory upgrade.
A lockable ticket box is available that can be configured for two secured stacks of 500 for each bin, or one secured stack
of 1000 coupons for Bin A and one unsecured stack of 1000 coupons for Bin B.
The Unit can be equipped with a lockable exit bin (integrated into the enclosure). This is typically used in an STP
environment to provide more security.
