Programme unit
The programme unit is made up of the CPU
card, the display card, card reader and one
or two I/O cards. The programme unit holds a
number of standard programmes, but it is also
possibletoprogrammeuser-specicwashing
programmes, either using the control panel on
the machine or a computer.
The programme unit card reader is used to
transfer programmes between a computer and
the washing machine or between different wash-
ing machines.
The programme unit communicates with the
motor control through a serial interface. One or
more I/O cards control the water valves, drain
and heating of the machine. The control signals
are sent via a communication card in the rear
control unit to the various components. The
communication card has connectors for con-
necting to various external components, such as
detergent pumps or external water valves.
The programme unit of the machine is described
in detail in section Programme unit.
