Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the conventional control device, there is a problem that the control program cannot be used to perform other control processes normally performed during the rewriting process of the control program.
Moreover, since the control program cannot be executed during the rewriting process, there is a problem that not only the temperature management in the vending machine cannot be performed, but also the problem that the occurrence of an abnormality cannot be detected, for example.

Embodiment Construction

[0024] A control device for an automatic vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1 It is an exploded perspective view of the control device of the vending machine, figure 2 It is a figure explaining the connection method of the main circuit board and the sub circuit board, image 3 It is a functional block diagram of the main circuit board.

[0025] like figure 1 As shown, the control device of the automatic vending machine of this embodiment has a lower surface (in figure 1 The main circuit board 100 and the sub-circuit board 200 of the housing 10 are housed in the box-shaped frame body 10 with an opening on the middle upper surface). A mounting piece 11 for mounting to an automatic vending machine protrudes from the edge of the opening of the frame body 10 . The main circuit board 100 and the sub circuit board 200 are arranged to overlap in the thickness direction. A female-type first ...

Abstract

To provide a control device of vending machine that can reduce rewriting time of a control program and can perform control process during the rewriting of the control program. The device of vending machine comprises an electrically rewritable nonvolatile flash memory (340) for storing an initial processing program (341) and a control program (342), and a volatile SDRAM (330). The initial processing program (341) transfers the control program (342) from the flash memory (340) to the SDRAM (330), and a control process of the vending machine is performed via execution of the control program (342) in the SDRAM (330). The writing process to the flash memory (340) is executed in parallel with the control process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control device that is connected to a control terminal, various sensors, an operation unit, etc. that control each part of an automatic vending machine to collectively control the automatic vending machine. Background technique [0002] A microcomputer, a ROM storing a control program, a RAM used as a work area during work, an interface circuit for connecting to various devices and a vending machine LAN, etc. are installed in the control device of this automatic vending machine. A microcomputer operates by executing a control program on a ROM. Also, in such a control device for an automatic vending machine, an electrically rewritable (rewritable) nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory is used as a storage medium for the control program in order to cope with version upgrades after shipment. The rewriting process of the control program is performed by transferring the processing of the microcomputer from the control...
