-
-- One Parallel Pulse type coin acceptor or bill acceptor input
- -- Two alarm input,can be used to monitor the machine status
- -- One relay output can be controlled through the RS232 command
- -- RS232 output to Computer (USB port is also available)
The PPULSE-PC is an pulse to interface module for Parallel pulse type coin acceptor . The PPULSE-PC has a built-in true RS232 port on its uplink communication port to interface with the serial port on a PC and a downlink port with inhibit line to interface with seperate validators.

1.0 Introduction
The PPULSE-PC is an RS232 interface module for most models of coin acceptor products. The PPULSE-PC has a built-in true RS232 port on its uplink communication port to interface with the serial port on a PC and a downlink port with inhibit line to interface with validators.
With the PPULSE-PC, the end operator can treat all different kinds of validators as a standard RS232 device and can concentrate on the real operation of the validator rather than the tedious interface work of the hardware discrepancy. On the PC platform, the software developer can easily program the validators via the PPULSE-PC with common computer languages such as Visual Basic / C++.
2.0 Compatibility
PPULSE-PC is 100% functionality compatible to WF-700. With the DIP Switch, a more versatile configuration can be setup to interface with over 90% of the most commonly used banknote / coin validators found in the market.
3.0 Communications
This interface is a three wire interface using a Transmit line (TXD), a receive line (RXD) and a Common line. The Host machine is thought of as being the Master device. The PPULSE-PC is the slave device that responds only to the polls (or requests) from the Master.
In this polled system, the Master requests information from the PPULSE-PC at a periodic rate. This rate can be as fast as every 300 milliseconds or as slow as the elapse time defined by the Lockout Timer. Faster rates are more desirable since overall system performance (in terms of bills/coins per minute accepted) will be higher at high poll rate system.
PPULSE-PC has a “Lockout” Timer feature that it will disable the acceptor if the specified poll rate is not met. In another words, if the host system is too busy to keep up with the desired minimum poll rate, PPULSE-PC will put the acceptor into the Disabled mode. The acceptor will be enabled again once the communication resumes.
