ICT NE77 MDB recycler

[roman.attila]

Hello,

Is Paylink supporting the ICT NE77 recycler with MDB?

Thanks for help!

Best regards,
Attila

Hi,

In theory all MDB devices work in the same way, and the latest release (4.1.12.10 - http://www.aardvark.eu.com/downloads/so ... -12-10.zip) of Paylink actively supports an MDB recycler.

There is no configuration need, the Bill Acceptor code automatically checks to see if the device is recycle capable.

If you do get any problems, I'll be happy to look at Paylink logs for you.

Hi,

There is no special configuration needed. Just configure a "normal" MDB bill acceptor, the Bill Acceptor code automatically checks to see if the device is recycle capable.

(The ccTalk ICT recycler uses a unique set of commands and so needs to be configured.)

Standard.cfg:

// Cashless at 10h

Acceptors on the system are:

Dispensers on the system are:
Dispenser 0: Unknown code 11080001 - <MDB Dispenser>, Serial Number 0,
Coin Value 9040, Number Paid 0, Current Count 0
Inhibit 0, Address 96

Path and value are wrong.

Correct values:
Coin 0: <5*10000>, Value 500, Count 0, Path 1, Coins 0
Coin 1: <10*10000>, Value 1000, Count 0, Path 0, Coins 0

Coin 5: <200*10000>, Value 20000, Count 0, Path 0, Coins 0

Difference equation of value:
Current value / 18.08

What can I do if I want to see correct values?

Thank you!

Hi,

Glad to see it is basically working.

For some completely unknown reason the code limits the base note value to 13 bits / 8191. I can find no reference to this limit anywhere, so it has been removed from all future versions of Paylink.

This https://d.pr/f/0dz6NH is the first test issue with the fix (it is otherwise identical to 4.1.12.10)

Regards

Dave
