BEVMAX REFRESH 6 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Machine is sitting powered up and in an idle state (waiting on a consumer)
A credit is established by the consumer via coins, bill, or cashless device
As the Atlas H Board recognizes the currency, it will instruct the display to show that
amount and wait for activity on the Touch Screen
When a selection is made by the consumer, the Atlas H Board will check the amount of
credit available against the selection requested to decide if it can vend that product
If the Atlas H Board determines the credit is adequate for that selection, it will then
instruct the Touch Screen to show the word “VENDING and ITEMS AND CHANGE BELOW”
The Atlas H Board will then communicate with the Y Motor Board via the RS485 to get its
status, i.e., is its home switch closed, and it will communicate with the Cup Motor Board
to ensure the picker home switch is closed. If the Picker is extended it will not turn on
the X or Y motors
It will also communicate to the Port Board to determine if the Port Door is opened or
closed
Once the Atlas H Board is certain that the all home switches are closed, the Atlas H Board
will instruct the X and Y Motor Boards to run the motors to the position that corresponds
with the selection requested
Once the Delivery Cup arrives at the selection, the Delivery Cup stops and both X and Y
Motor Boards report to the Atlas H Board that they have arrived at the location, and their
home switches are open. X and Y controllers will wait for the next command
The Atlas H Board communicates with the Cup Motor Board and instructs it to activate
(turn on) its Cup Sensor
The Atlas H Board will instruct the Cup Motor Board to run its motor
Once the Cup Motor runs, the Cup Motor Board will communicate to the Atlas H Board
that it ran its motor and that it does or doesn’t have product in the Delivery Cup
If there is product in the Delivery Cup at this time, the Atlas H Board will instruct the Y
Motor Board to decrease its position so many counts to ensure the product drops into
the Delivery Cup
The Atlas H Board will then instruct the X and Y Motor Boards to run their motors to take
the Delivery Cup to the Hook Swipe position
When the Delivery Cup arrives to the Hook Swipe position, the Atlas H Board will inquire
if the product is still in the Delivery Cup
If the Delivery Cup reports back that product is present, the Atlas H Board instructs the X
and Y Motor Boards to swipe
