The Combo - T device is designed to manage the processes of payment and acceptance of coins in
machines or devices that use electronic payment systems.
The Combo-T is a compact device, composed of several devices, for the management of coins and includes:
• Coin validator with coin input chute
• Automatic recovery module for coin refund and the freeing of coin jams
• 5-way sorter
• 3 Hoppers or discriminators to pay out coins
• Electronic interface for control and communication
All these components are assembled on a metal chassis that incorporates the necessary coin chute for
reusing and paying out inserted coins
Communication between the devices in the Combo T and the system in which it is installed is cctalk. This
type of serial communication has been designed to allow the interconnection of different cash handling
devices (hoppers, validators...) in a bus of two lines (a bi-directional data line and ground).
The technical specification used in the electronic interface and communication protocol is as follows:
Cctalk Serial Communication Protocol

The use of cctalk is open and therefore free to use.
