Method for communication between automatic display cabinet and industrial computer

Abstract

The invention provides a method for communication between an automatic display cabinet and an industrial computer. The method comprises the following steps of sending a data package for inquiring a current state to the automatic display cabinet by using the industrial computer; returning a current state data package if the automatic display cabinet receives the data package successfully; considering that hardware configuration of the automatic display cabinet is finished when the industrial computer receives response of the current state data package, and waiting for operation of a user; transmitting a control command data package after the industrial computer receives a user operating command; returning a corresponding control command response data package if the automatic display cabinet receives the control command data package successfully; and considering that the operation is successful when the industrial computer receives the control command response data package of the automatic display cabinet. By the method, intelligent communication between the automatic display cabinet and the industrial computer can be realized, and the automatic display cabinet can report various types of operating information of user operation and feedback operation, and the state information of local running states to the industrial computer.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a communication method for an automatic vending cabinet and an industrial computer. 【technical background】 [0002] Networked vending machines generally include two parts of equipment, the terminal is the vending machine (Vending Machine, vending machine) and the industrial computer (IndustrialPersonalComputer, industrial computer) as a server. [0003] Traditional vending machines are usually set at a fixed point, therefore, delivery personnel need to go to the fixed point regularly to implement maintenance and management of the vending machine. For example, check the sales record of the vending machine, replenish the vending machine, check or update the price display and channel allocation of the vending machine and other parameter configurations, check the operation status of the vending machine, and perform equipment maintenance on the vending machine, etc. [0004] ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, since the sales records, inventory status, parameter configuration, operating status and other information for maintenance and management of the vending machine are all stored in the machine, the delivery personnel do not know this information before going to the fixed point, resulting in Personnel cannot maintain and manage vending machines in a targeted manner, resulting in inefficient maintenance and management

[0005] In addition, since all the processing of the vending machine is limited by its limited hardware capabilities, the vending machine cannot be intelligently controlled
