Draft Bill of Materials === Aims ===
 * redo all internal wiring and logic, except the refrigeration parts
 * make the machine more safe by doing things properly and reducing the voltage of exposed components
 * keep the software interface as simple or more simple than before
 * make the buttons on the front of the machine work for dispense
 * make it extensible so things can be added on

=== Internal PLC IO Requirements ===
 * 10x24V DC input for can sensing (would it be worth multiplexing this?)
 * 7x24V DC input for front door buttons (ditto with the multiplexing question)
 * 1x24V DC input for manual dispense mode button
 * 10x100V AC relay outputs
 * 7x DC outputs for empty slot display

=== Process ===
 * empty the machine and bring it into the clubroom. This means everything won't have to be packed up at the end of the day while we're working on it
 * remove one of the stacks and test a slot actuator to see what it runs off. This determines what hardware we use to drive everything, so we need to know.
 * purchase all required hardware (PLC, wiring, connectors, switches, etc.)
 * write software (state machine based programming implemented in ladder logic, ''should'' be quite trivial)
 * wire up on the bench and test
 * service the machine. A can of zinc spraypaint wouldn't go astray on some of the rust spots I think. Check all the seals. Oil what needs oiling. Clean what needs cleaning.
 * install everything into the machine and test

=== Wiring it up ===

 * Terminal Blocks
  * None required for the door buttons
  * End cap
  * 20 for slot microswitches
  * Spacer
  * X for 24V power positive and negative
  * Spacer
  * Spacer
  * Isolator for 110V
  * X for 110V distribution
  * 20 for slot solenoids
  * X for 110V neutral
  * Spacer
  * Commoning bars
  * Din rail
  * Slotted duct 3 metres
  * Earth

 * Network cable connection
  * Panduit CFPHS2IW Faceplate or similar
  * Panduit Cat 6 Mech and cable

=== Measured things ===
 * Can drop process: 400ms on, 500ms off, 660ms on, 300VAC peak-to-peak, 1.8A
 * Wire lengths:
  * Actuator units 0,1,2,3: 80cm actuator to wire harness, 210cm harness to corner of machine door, 40cm up door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (4-core minimum) (16.6m)
  * Actuator units 4,5: 80cm actuator to wire harness, 170cm harness to corner of machine door, 40cm up door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (4-core minimum) (7.5m)
  * Actuator units 6,7,8,9: 80cm actuator to wire harness, 140cm harness to corner of machine door, 40cm up door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (4-core minimum) (13.8m)
  * Buttons: 75cm across front of door, 60cm down edge of door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (8-core minimum) (2.2m)
  * Lights: 75cm across front of door, 60cm down edge of door, 45cm across, 40cm up to terminal block (8-core minimum) (2.2m)
 * The fans suck air through the fridge unit, they don't blow it


=== Extra Things To Consider ===

 * Snubber circuit for solenoids
  * Something like http://jnf.indiansecurityproducts.info/downloads/Oct06_Vending%20mc.pdf
