MEDIA ATLAS H BOARD & 5 PERIPHERAL CABINET CONTROLLERS
Media Atlas H Board is the heart of the Vender and is located on the inside top of the
Service Door. It is USB flash programmable and updates all Peripheral Boards which
control all aspects of the Vender (includes AC Distribution Box Environmental Board,
Cabinet X Motor Control Board, Y Motor Board, Port Board, & Cup Motor Board). All
voltage in the Media Atlas H Board and Peripheral Boards are 24VDC, 5VDC, or 3.3VDC.
Environmental Board – controls the Refrigeration Unit & Condenser Fan, Evaporator
Fan, LED Lighting, Encapsulated Temp Sensor, and 24VDC & 5VDC power distribution.
X Motor Board– controls X Motor movement and reads the X Home Switch.
Y Motor Board– controls Y Motor movement and senses the Y Home Switch signal.
Note: The X & Y Motor Board are the same Board but with their own specific software.
Port Board – controls the Port Vend Sensor, Port Open & Close Sensors, & the Port
Motor.
Cup Motor Board – controls the Delivery Cup Sensor, Picker/Plunger Home & Out
Switches, and the Cup Motor. The Y Home Switch plugs into the Cup Motor Board and
sends the switch signal on to the Y Motor Board.
Each of the 5 Peripheral Boards have a Green Status Light. Various lighting patters are used to indicate the status
of the individual Peripheral Boards. They include:
Power on / Reset – a slow brightening and then slow diming of the Green Status Light that takes 3 to 5 seconds
to complete. This happens once each time the Peripheral Board is powered on and/or reset. If the Green Status
Light slowly brightens and dims continuously indicates the software was not loaded properly.
Heartbeat – a heartbeat of the Green Status LED starts right after the “power on / reset” indication and continues
until the peripheral first receives a message from the Media Atlas H Board. Once a message is received from the
Media Atlas H Board the heartbeat will not be shown again. Note: on a BevMAX Refresh 6 Media Machine, the
heartbeat is almost never actually seen because the Media Atlas H Board starts talking to the Boards within a few
seconds of powering on.
Fast blinking – a fast blinking Green Status Light (on and off 7 times per second) indicates that the Peripheral
Board is receiving communication from the Media Atlas H Board and sending a response. Note: Just because a
response is being sent to the Media Atlas H Board doesn’t necessarily mean the Media Atlas H Board is receiving
it. There could be some defect that prevents the Peripheral Board response from reaching the Media Atlas H
Board.
