The Combo - T device is designed to manage the processes of payment and acceptance of coins in

machines or devices that use electronic payment systems.

The Combo-T is a compact device, composed of several devices, for the management of coins and includes:

• Coin validator with coin input chute

• Automatic recovery module for coin refund and the freeing of coin jams

• 5-way sorter

• 3 Hoppers or discriminators to pay out coins

• Electronic interface for control and communication

All these components are assembled on a metal chassis that incorporates the necessary coin chute for

reusing and paying out inserted coins

Communication between the devices in the Combo T and the system in which it is installed is cctalk. This

type of serial communication has been designed to allow the interconnection of different cash handling

devices (hoppers, validators...) in a bus of two lines (a bi-directional data line and ground).

The technical specification used in the electronic interface and communication protocol is as follows:

Cctalk Serial Communication Protocol

Generic Specification

Issue 4.3

The use of cctalk is open and therefore free to use.

3 INSTALLATION AND START UP

3.1 DIMENSIONS AND LAYOUT

• The device should be installed on the inside of the machine taking into account the dimensions and

layout that are shown below.

• It is very important to ensure that both the coin exits and moving parts are free from mechanical

interference, especially the coin refund motor and the opening of the validator.

Figure 2: Dimensions

10

10 - 2011

3.2 CONNECTION TO THE MASTER AND POWER SUPPLY

• The only electronic connection to the master device is made through the ccTalk bus, through the 10 pins on the interface board connector.

• The ccTalk bus, via parallel 10-way cable, directly connects to the coin validator, the three Hoppers

or Discriminators and I/O interface board. The interface board controls the escrow device, the motor

and recovery button.

• Make the connection with a 10-way ribbon cable of the necessary length. It should not exceed 3

meters in length.

Connection of the interface board

Figure 3: Connection of the interface board

Power supply

The Combo-T device is powered from the ccTalk connection. Ensure that the power supply from the master

provides the correct voltage for the operation of the equipment.

• We recommend a power supply to provide at least 4 amperes of current.

• It is necessary to take into account that if Discriminators are used, they will only work at 24VDC.

11

10 - 2011

3.3 CONFIGURATION OF THE CCTALK ADDRESSES OF THE DE VICES

• The ccTalk device addresses of the Combo-T must be configured. • The ccTalk specification defines 1 as the bus address for the master. By default, the factory

default addresses of the Combo - T devices are as follows:

� Coin Validator = address 2

� Hopper or Discriminator 1 ( A ) = address 3

� Hopper or Discriminator 2 ( B ) = address 4

� Hopper or Discriminator 3 ( C ) = address 5

� Interface board I/O = address 80

• All ccTalk device addresses can be changed via a ccTalk command. The hoppers or

discriminators also allow address configuration with dipswitches

3.4 CONFIGURATION OF COIN ACCEPTANCE

• From the Master, enable the acceptance of the coins to use in the validator.

• By default and after being switched on, all coins are inhibited.

• The cctalk command is used for the configuration of the inhibition [231] MODIFY INHIBIT

STATUS.

• The status of the inhibitions can be requested via the command [230] REQUEST INHIBIT

STATUS.

3.5 CONFIGURATION OF THE COINS IN THE DISCRIMINATOR

If the Combo - T incorporates Discriminators, you must define the coins the device will work with. There

are specific ccTalk commands:

• [37] DIAMETER PROGRAMMING

• [49] PROGRAMMING THE VALUE

Consult the Discriminator ccTalk protocol specification for more information.

3.6 TEST

Before switching on, it is recommended to make a functional test with the device: acceptance of coins,

classification and return.

5 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

5.1 COIN VALIDATOR X6-D2S CCTALK

The coin-mechanism or coin validator whose job it is to recognise and validate coins inserted by users also

controls their classification.

Through electromagnetic sensors and optical controlled by a digital microprocessor with technology DSP, the

validator is capable of recognizing any programmed coin with a great precision, guaranteeing the functioning

of free fraud and avoiding the acceptance of coins that have not been programmed.

5.1.1 Technical Characteristics

• Admission of up to 32 types of different coins.

• Of these 32 coins, 2 are auto-programmable at the machine.

• High precision measurement of magnetic and physical parameters of coins due to the use of DSP

technology.

• It is compatible with the validators of 3.5” format.

• It implements the Protocol cctalk.

• It allows the tele-programming and flashing of firmware directly from the serial port.

10 - 2011

• It has an effective "anti-fishing system" which has the job of foiling any attempt of fraud using the

procedure of tying a string to a coin.

• Modular construction.

• It can control 3 and 5-way sorters.

• Built with plastic material of the latest generation, wear-resistant, dissipating of static electricity, of high

rigidity and dimensionally stable at high temperatures and humidity (low level of absorption) and

resistant to saline mist.

• The lifespan is guaranteed for more than 1.000.000 services.

• It has a hardware test (perform self-check), that is requested by the machine, which informs it of any

possible anomalies that are occurring inside the validator.

5.1.2 How the validator works

The validator works as a peripheral inside the Combo T and the whole system, through the cctalk bus. It is

the system that has full control of the validator. Each time that the system is activated or a reset is

performed, the validator remains with all coins inhibited and classifies in only one direction.

Once the system to which it belongs begins communication with the validator, it informs the validator of the

coins that can be admitted and the classification that has to perform, these programmes are stored in the

RAM of the validator and can be modified in any time, but only from the machine itself.

Communication of the machine with the validator is permanent (credit polling), recording any credit or error

that could have been generated by the validator. If communication stops during 1 second or more, the

validator would stop accepting coins.

Once a coin has been inserted, it is analysed by the sensor module and if it corresponds to a programmed

coin that is not inhibited, it is automatically accepted and the machine is informed.

For more information about the different commands of operation, check the module Protocol cctalk of this

product.

5.2 REFUND MODULE

It is in charge of activating the refund lever on the validator in an electro-mechanical manner, with the aim of

eliminating possible mechanical jams that occur inside the validator. In addition, when a user requests the

refund of credit or the cancellation of the transaction, the refund motor is activated by pressing the refund

button on the interface board.

There are several models available, in function of the type of operation: autonomous or non-autonomous

and of the connector used. The characteristics are described below:

5.2.1 Refund module. Non-autonomous

In this model, the activation and control is carried out by the master. The master activates the motor and

controls the activation cycle with a micro-switch detector.

Figure 8: Diagram of the non-autonomous refund mod ule

5.2.2 Refund module. Autonomous

The module itself performs the control and stopping of the motor, which should match with an opening and

closing of the door of the validator. The master or primary system that controls the Combo-T should only

send a pulse of activation.

5.3 SORTER MODULE

The sorter has an entry chute and classifies the coins inserted by the user. It works in combination with the

coin validator. The inserted coins are analyzed by the validator and can be accepted or rejected by making

the refund to the user.

The sorter has 5 possible paths of classification. They are comprised if the following elements:

1. Sorter

2. U bracket

3. Entry chute

4. Refund module

Figure 10: Components of the sorter module

5.3.1 How the sorter works

• The Sorter (1) has 5 possible paths of classification for the accepted coins.

• The coins rejected by the validator are not classified but are returned to the outside of the machine by a

direct reject channel.

• The coins inserted in the Combo-T reach the Validator through of the coin entry chute (3).

• The validator has previously received on behalf of the master ccTalk application all the commands

associated with inhibition of coins and classification of them.

• When a coin is accepted, the validator, as well as sending the ccTalk code of the coin to the master

application, orders it to classify it through the established path.

• The sorter module (1) activates the corresponding solenoid/s to open the correct path.

• The coins come out of the sorter module to the relevant classification paths.

5.4 ESCROW

This module is an optional intermediate storage of the coins inserted before making the associated

transaction.

It can be enabled as a classification path (C1� S1) to temporarily store coins which are not routed to

hoppers or discriminators. The operation consists of the possibility of returning these coins or finally routing

to the cashbox. A typical case is to avoid the system being used as a change machine, by introducing coins

of higher value and requesting a refund of the amount.

This way there is always the option of refunding the exact same coins inserted as credit in the case of not

buying any of the products or services offered by the machine.

5.5 HOPPERS

The Combo-T device can be equipped, as devices of payment, with both Hoppers and Discriminators. Their

function is the storage of coins for the payment of refund or a credit. The main difference between a hopper

and a discriminator is that the first is a single coin payout and the second has capacity to use two values of

coins, simultaneously. Here are the main characteristics of the Hoppers:

.

1. Sensors - empty

2. Coin exit

3. Optic sensor - exit

4. Sensors - full

5. Hopper

Figure 16: Description of the Hopper U-II

The hopper consists of a storage bay with a system of rotary extraction, powered by a motor and controlled

by ccTalk instructions. You have optic detection sensors of the coins paid out, as well as sensors for the

detection of full and empty levels in the hopper.

5.6 DISCRIMINATORS

The Combo-T device can use Discriminators as payment devices. The Discriminator is a type of

hopper allowing the payment of two different types of mixed coins the same hopper. It has a

device that identifies, by its diameter, the coins in the disk and allows the payment of any of the

two. If there is a coin in the trigger, ready to be paid, that does not correspond with the required

coin, the exit remains closed and the coin returns to the hopper.

The Discriminator communicates with the master through the ccTalk bus. There are specific

commands for the management of this device, relative to the configuration of the types of coins

and the type of payment.

The modes of payment can be set through commands and can be:

• Multiple payment: the master orders the number and type of coins

• Intelligent payment: the master requests the payment of a set amount and the

Discriminator manages the payment taking into consideration the current provision

of coins in the disk. This method is most effective for speed of transaction.

10 - 2010

5.6.1 How the Discriminator works

The basis of how the Discriminator works is by measuring the diameter of the coins using three

optic sensors.

IMPORTANT: For the serial Discriminator to work properly, the coins that are used in the same hopper must have a difference in diameter of at least 1 millimetre.

How to achieve high efficiency in the payment

The advantage of the Discriminator against other types of hopper is the possibility of using two

types of coin in the hopper.

In systems where the available space for hoppers is limited, the use of the Discriminator favours

an optimisation if this space.

However, the existence of two types of coins inside the hopper makes necessary to have proper

control of the cash to achieve high efficiency in the payment.

Here several considerations to take in account, both in the management of cash by the master

and also in the service tasks of the machine. The principles are:

• Balance of coins

The initial fill of the Discriminator must have a balance of suitable coins of both types.

The currency of each type of coin value must be equal. That is, if for example, coins of

50 c and € 1 are stored, the number of coins of the first value will be the double that of

the second value, or put another way, the ratio of the number of coins should be 2:1.

• Proportion of the values used

For greater efficiency of the Discriminator and of the system, we recommend the

proportion of 1:2 for the value of the two coins used, e.g. 10c and 20c or 5c and 10c.

• Register of the transactions and calculus of the av ailable cash

The master must register and control at all times the accounting of the coins inserted

and paid out by the application. In this way, you can manage the dynamic processes of

refunding coins, ensuring the availability of change and maintain a high speed in the

execution of the payment.

• Dynamic control of the payment orders.

42

10 - 2010

If multiple payment is used, the orders of payment must adapt to the current availability

of cash. It takes into account the availability and also the percentages of the types of

coins inside of the hopper. The duration of the payment will be extended proportionally

to the difference of percentages of occupation of the hopper.

• Out-of-change

In connection with the previous point - an algorithm of payment and refilling should be

used. Not refilling using useable inserted coins or uneven filling will often cause one coin

to be used up. If occupation of the capacity of the hopper is uneven, for the two types of

coins, the times of search are lengthened, much more as the difference between the two

are greater.

• Intelligent Payment

For the secure management of the cash it is recommended to use intelligent mode of

payment, in which the Discriminator uses the coins as and how they are in the disk at

the time of the transaction to complete the payment of the amount requested. In

addition, the intelligent payment tries to save coins of the lowest value for a future

assurance of the payment.

5.6.5 Electronic characteristics

Electronic circuit board

The electronics of the Discriminator is based on a micro-controller PIC (Not flash).

In contrast to the Hopper U-II, if it were necessary to update the firmware, the PIC would need to

be substituted, for this reason it is removable. To select the ccTalk address of the device there

are 2 dipswitches accessible from the exterior.

Configuration of the coins Type1 and Type2

The options of configuration of the two types of coins are made through of ccTalk specific

commands for this device. The parameters required to be configured are: the diameter of each

coin and value in units of base coin. It will always be necessary to configure the diameter before

of the value.

Commands of configuration of diameters

− [25H] Diameter programming

− [29H] Request for diameters

Commands of configuration of values

− [31H] Programming value

− [32H] Value request

Configuration of the payment mode

The Discriminator allows the payment using two different modes: multiple payment and

intelligent payment.

Multiple Payment

The master defines how many and what types of coins are being paid by the discriminator.

This mode of payment, to be highly efficient, requires the use of comprehensive and dynamic

control of the availability of credit in the hoppers. This requires a homogeneous initial load in

the discriminator and the continuous registering of the coins that enter and leave in the

different transactions

(See chapter 2.7.1 Working principles).

Intelligent Payment

Making use of this mode, the master requests the payment of an amount of base coins from

discriminator and it manages the order making use of the currently prepared coins in the disk.

The smart payment facilitates the control of the cash and keeps the balance of coins in the

hopper at a safe level, making the number the two types of coins proportional.

Protocol ccTalk for the Discriminator: For more information on the use of these and other commands, consult the document Protocolo ccTalk Discriminador_ES.pdf which is available on our website Azkoyen - Ampasa.

5.6.7 Calibration of the Discriminator

The calibration is the process of memorization of the measurements of the coins with which you

are going to work. It also makes the adjustment of the offset of the different measurement

sensors, referencing them with a known parameter, such as the diameter of the coin.

All the Discriminators leave factory calibrated, however, it is necessary to make a recalibration

when you remove or change any of the following elements of measurement in the Discriminator:

− Encoder

− Trigger

− Disk

− Blade

− Electronics of the optic sensors

− Optic sensors

It is recommended to do recalibration if the hopper has any physical wear in any of the moving

parts or if it has been dropped or suffered a hard knock.

5.7 ELECTRONIC INTERFACE: I/O INTERFACE BOARD

The Combo - T connects to the master of the system through this interface board, using a

standard of 2 x 5 - way ccTalk connection. In addition to the ccTalk connection, it has a

microcontroller for the control of the ccTalk devices working in parallel, such the refund motor

and the escrow and the reading of analogue / digital inputs to receive information on the status

of the devices.

The interface board, using the set of enabled ccTalk commands takes control, using voltage

levels, of the refund motor and the escrow and reports the status of the analogue / digital inputs

connected to the interface, among them the refund button, micro-switches in the escrow and the

position of the refund motor. There are unassigned inputs that could be used for the reading the

status of any other sensor or activator.

5.7.1 Functions

• Serial ccTalk interface between the Combo – T and the master application.

• Provides the power supply to all the components.

• Activation / Deactivation of the refund motor using ccTalk commands.

6 USER TOOLS

There are two types of user tools to use with the Combo - T or directly on their components: for

programming and for simulation ccTalk.

6.1 PROGRAMMING TOOLS

6.1.1 User application HEUS

The application HEUS is used for the management of programming files and to update the

firmware of the devices, databases in validators, etc. The rest of devices with microprocessor in

the Combo-T drive, except the Discriminators, can be updated using this application.

Figure 31: Screen shot of the application HeUs

The tool HeUs is available on the technical website of Azkoyen Medios de Pago

(http://sat.azkoyen.com). Files can also be downloaded from the web for programming.

Once you have saved these files in the directory \HEUS\DATAFILES, they can be transferred to

the devices, using the connection cable directly from the PC or through of the portable tool TL20.

There is a specific manual, both for the TL20 and the HEUS, available on the Azkoyen website;

you should consult them for the detailed instructions for managing and operating these devices.

57

10 - 2010

6.1.2 Portable tool TL20

For onsite field operations, the TL20 tool serves as intermediate device for the storage of files.

The TL20 works in combination with the HEUS user application from which you load the

programming files. Once the files are transferred to the portable device, this works

independently. With the TL20 you can update the firmware of Hoppers and Validator and

update the data base of coins in the validator.

Figure 32: Tool TL20

6.2 SIMULATION TOOL

6.2.1 ccTalk Manager

The software application used for simulation is the ccTalk Manager. This software is prepared

for managing ccTalk devices, and allows simple operations of verification as well as the

simulation of ccTalk commands, sequences of commands, etc.

The application is available on the technical website of Azkoyen (http://sat.azkoyen.com).

Figure 33: Screen shot of the a pplication ccTalk Manager

The ccTalk Manager facilitates the integration of the Combo - T or any other ccTalk device,

using simulation of the communication. It is a tool recommended for the development phases of

a cctalk system.

58

10 - 2010

For the connection of ccTalk devices to a PC you need an electronic interface that suits the

voltage to be used in this serial communication. There are two available interfaces, one with a

USB connection and the other with a RS-232 connection, to be connected to a COM.

6.2.2 ccTalk interfaces

6.2.2.1 Interface USB – ccTalk.

This interface is connected through the USB port of the PC and provides ccTalk to the bus.

This connection can be connected to any ccTalk device available with a 2 x 5 - way flat

ribbon connector. This interface eliminates the echo of the ccTalk communication.

Figure 34: Interface USB - ccTalk

It is necessary to connect a power supply source of 12/24VdC for supplying voltage to the

bus and the installation of the drivers that come with the device so that it is recognized by the

operating system.
