10.2.2 BACTA interface
For AWP and SWP coin validators in the gambling machine industry a parallel interface is used
as provided for in the British BACTA standard (British Amusement Catering Trade Association).
To transmit coin and inhibit signals a 17-pole connector is primarily used today. The connector
features different pin assignments for standard mode and binary mode.

6 OUT Coin line 2: VCOM active high/low active high/low
7 OUT Coin line 3: VCOM active high/low active high/low
8 IN Standard binary select line
9 OUT Strobe line: active high active high
10 IN Single inhibit line 4: active high active high
11 – Operating voltage = +10 V–24 V DC
12 – Ground (GND)
13 IN Single inhibit line 3: active high active high
14 IN Single inhibit line 2: active high active high
15 IN Single inhibit line 1: active high active high
16 IN Single inhibit line 5: active high active high
17 IN Single inhibit line 6: active high active high
All signals must be debounced from the input side.
In case of manipulation all lines except for the strobe line are active when
transmitting a foul signal as well as a string signal.
