Hello,
I am thinking of using paylink, but am unsure as to what PSU to use. I do not want to add cost to the development by using another PSU, so is a PC power supply suitable?
Many Thanks

paylink power supply

You have to consider power both for Paylink and the acceptors and hoppers.
The 12V connector on Paylink is used for internal power and is fed to the cctalk connector to use for powering acceptors. The requirements on this 12V supply are quite low, and can easily be provided by connecting a lead to the 12V supply from a disk connector inside the PC.
Hoppers cannot be fed from this supply. They are electrically noisy and liable to generate sudden loads if the motor stalls with a lot of coins.
You could use a 2nd PC power supply outside the PC to power 12V hoppers.

Re: paylink power supply
Hi,
Recently purchase a paylink development kit with one note acceptor arcade elite, one coin acceptor sri5 and tree hoppers. this device not came with power supply cables. How many power sources can I have?. I read in the rear side of hoppers that its voltage is 24V.
The hoppers and other device get power from the multi drop cable? or all need a independent power suply.

Re: paylink power supply
Hi,
Paylink has provision for 12V power, for internal Paylink usage and typically for coin acceptors and LEDs etc, and 24V for cctalk coin hoppers and note acceptors.
The 12V supply is provided to Paylink by the two pin "Molex" connector accessible from the top on one side. This is then fed through a an auto resetting fuse (2.5A continuous, 5A peak for 200ms) to one of the pins on the 6 way cctalk connector at the end.
The 24V provision is that two of the pins on the cctalk connector are connected by another auto resetting fuse, to allow for the fused supply to hopper / acceptors.
If you have a standard development kit, it will include a black plastic box with 8 connectors that has a six way cable to plug into Paylink and a single trailing orange lead. The box distributes communications and power to the plugs for peripherals, the trailing orange lead is for the 24V power and the 12V power is taken from the Paylink.
