  * Red/White 100V


=== Extra Things To Consider ===

 * Snubber circuit for solenoids
  * Something like http://jnf.indiansecurityproducts.info/downloads/Oct06_Vending%20mc.pdf
 * RC snubber component/circuit with 0.1uF (approx 400V rating) and 150 Ohm resistance in parallel with the load should do
  * Need to test this on a breadboard before looking for a permanent way of implementing it

=== Stuff to fix in future ===
 * The 5x1mm washers acting as spacers for the bottom refigeration fans should be replaced with a 5mm spacer or piece of pipe instead - the washers will be impossible to put back on if the fans ever need to be removed
 * --(small can support)-- Done! A small bracket has been made which can fit on any of the front slots. Ask BobAdamson how to use it.
 * coin return magic
 * coin counter
 * more LEDs, not blue
 * redo fan wiring (again)
 * front perspex lights
 * screens
 * button screens
 * --(snack machine keypad, 3 key needs more debouncing)-- Sortof done. BobAdamson pulled it apart and cleaned the contacts. It could probably do with some small capacitors across each button if it keeps happening.
 * documentation and all code up-to-date in ~coke

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
  • give the machine a general service where necessary (seals, rust protection, oil)

Internal PLC IO Requirements

  • 10x24V DC input for can sensing
  • 7x24V DC input for front door buttons
  • 1x24V DC input for manual dispense mode button
  • 10x110V AC relay outputs
  • 7x 5V 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
    • Earth (green/yellow) doubles as end clamp

    • 10 red - slot microswitches positive
    • 10 black - slot microswitch ground (bridged)

    • 8 (7 plus one spare)
  • Din rail
    • 2m
  • Slotted duct 3 metres

  • 14 grey
  • 14 blue
  • 3 green/yellow

    • 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
  • Plug coming from the back of the distrubution box (red 9 way):
    • Brown/White 110V
    • Blue/White Neutral
    • Red/White 100V

Extra Things To Consider
