Set Product Constants
8. The Neo control system maintains a counter for the amount of each ingredient consumed.
For these counters to work correctly the throw rate in grams per second actually dispensed
from each ingredients canister must be input. One way to determine the correct value is to
catch the ingredient dispensed during ten vends of a particular type and then divide the
weight of ingredients so dispensed by the auger run time figures set for that vend. For this
to work all scale factors must be set to 100.
If the ingredient counters are not required, this facility can safely be ignored. The values
entered are for audit purposes only and do not affect the drink formulations or machine
operation in any way.
Machine Status
9. Entering MACHINE STATUS provides access to the status of the following machine
features:
• TEMP STATUS
• 1
2
C HEALTH
• MEMORY USAGE*
• SOFTWARE VERSION
• FRAM FAULTS
(a) TEMP STATUS
This display provides information relating to the heater control circuit. A power (PWR)
level value and a graphical representation of the drive waveform to the heater are
displayed. The temperature reading in degrees centigrade derived from the thermistor
probe in the water boiler is displayed along with the analogue-to-digital converter value
from which the temperature was calculated is parenthesis.
(b) I
2
C Health
This display provides information relating to the 1
2
C serial link between the Controller
and RIO Boards. A percentage 'health' reading is given, indicating the success rate of
communication of the link. A reading of less than 100% may indicate the presence of
electrical noise. The number of negative acknowledgements (NACKS) is also recorded.
