Project Implementation:

Conclusion:

Advantech's UNO-1019 is RISC-grade embedded platform that offers 2 LANs, 4 serial ports, and 4 digital inputs & outputs

to fulfill I/O device expansion. Also, the UNO-1019 provides a CompactFlash for data storage, and its compact size saves

installation space, allowing more room for other devices. By using a low power consumption CPU, CompactFlash card and

Microsoft XP Embedded SP2, the UNO-1019 is a highly reliable embedded fanless controller that provides stability and

performance. By adopting the UNO-1019, our customer has shortened manufacturing time, saved on development costs, and

is able to leverage a PC-based open architecture into all of their new units, allowing all the serial device protocols to be easily

implemented.

Project Introduction:

Since the 1880's when the first vending machines were introduced to dispense postcards, demand for

these convenient product sales devices has increased rapidly. Vending machines have undergone drastic

changes over the years, and just as with all devices in our society, are becoming smaller and more high-

tech. The latest vending machines, for example, require CPU's and Ethernet ports, and at the same time

they are being designed smaller to save space. With these requirements in mind, Advantech's UNO-1019

embedded platform is the perfect solution to be installed at the core of these units.

System Requirements:

Vending machines have become small retail shops, and worldwide demand on these machines has in-

creased rapidly. Recently, vending machines have begun to be developed with proprietary controllers, but

due to the fact that many devices have different specifications and protocols, it's very difficult to integrate

all of them into the same controller. Usually, manufacturers need to pay huge expenses for modifications or

revisions to integrate all the required devices into one controller.

Our customer was seeking a controller with a PC-based open architecture which was easy to develop

for, and easy to maintain. When they came to us, the choice was obvious; the UNO-1019 was the perfect

solution. Aside from its open architecture, easy development structure and easy-to-maintain design, the

UNO-1019 provides a compact form factor to save space in the tight vending machine architecture, allow-

ing more space for product storage.

System Description:

The coin validator, beverage dispenser and electronic bulletin board are connected to UNO-1019's serial

(RS-232) communication ports. The ADAM-4051 and ADAM-4055 are connected to COM4 of UNO-1019

in serial RS-485 mode. Moreover, one Ethernet port is connected to PHS SMS system, and the other is

connected to the manufacturer's server, providing consumers with two different ways to order products.

The first is the traditional method, and this is when consumers put physical money into the machine,

the coin validator checks the amount, and the electronic bulletin board displays this amount onscreen,

giving the clear information for purchasing. Once the amount has been verified, the UNO-1019 will drive

ADAM-4051 and ADAM-4055 modules to output the selected product. The new way to purchase products

is via mobile phone. First, the consumer will send out a predefined SMS, then the PHS SMS system will

verify it and then link to the manufacturers system, then the server will inform the UNO-1019 to complete

this transaction, and drive the dispenser to output the selected product. In this method, the fee will be

charged on the customer's mobile phone bill.
