How does the coin exchange work?

Detailed description: how a coin exchange works and what it consists of

Coin changers are technologically advanced machines that offer practical solutions for money management, both for banknotes and coins. Let's look at their main components and how they work, taking into account payment options, security and optional services.

What Does a Coin Exchange Consist Of?

Iron Box: Provides durability and protection against damage or tampering.
Hopper: Storage space for coins, responsible for their distribution.
Hopper Base: Facilitates easy removal and installation of the hopper, without the need for tools.
Coin acceptor: Recognizes and accepts coins.
Bill acceptor: Detects and accepts banknotes, confirming their validity.
Central Board: Controls and coordinates all functions, connecting peripherals through the hub.
Hub Board: Serves as a connection node, allowing the machine to communicate with all devices via a single cable.
Power supply (12-24 Volt): Provides the necessary energy to operate all devices.
Safety Switch: Detects whether the machine door is open or closed, informing in cases of tampering or maintenance.

Optional Systems
Telemetry (Subscription Service):
Allows remote management of the machine.
Provides real-time data on machine status, such as errors or balances.
It can be deactivated if the customer does not want the subscription.

Connection to POS Terminals:
Systems such as Payter P66 are supported via TTL or RS232 protocols.
Payment by card is allowed, with pre-determined amounts, such as €5 for 6 chips, instead of a free choice by the customer.

How a Coin Exchange Works

Start-up and Control:
Upon activation, the main board recognizes the connected devices through the hub and checks their functionality.
If everything is working properly, the information is transferred via the telemetry system (if enabled).

Waiting for Transaction:
The machine is waiting for coins or banknotes to be inserted.
The central board receives the information and sends a command to the hopper to distribute the correct amount of coins.

ccTalk Communication Protocol:
ccTalk is a serial communication protocol used to transmit data between low-voltage devices.
It ensures security and accuracy in the exchange of information.

Payment by Card:
The customer uses a POS terminal to select pre-determined amounts.
The POS system communicates with the board to complete the transaction.
