Product description
The coin counter detects and validates coins in the common Swiss denominations from 10 centimes to 5 francs and outputs the detected values via a parallel interface. The device therefore supports vending machines with simple payment systems or cash registers that rely on discrete coin value detection.
The module detects coins by weight and diameter, checks the denomination, and reports the result through pulses on the 4-bit data bus as well as handshake signals for data transfer. Since the coin value is output directly, time-consuming post-processing in the control code is no longer necessary.
Operation requires 12 V DC. The data outputs use standard logic levels and can be connected directly to the digital inputs of microcontrollers or single-board computers. The device is suitable for beverage vending machines, parking barriers, washing machine coin mechanisms, or simple vending machines in environments where fast and reliable coin detection without complex software logic is required.
A 12 V power supply and connecting cables for the data bus and handshake signals are required. A laboratory power supply is sufficient for prototypes; for productive operation, a stable power source with sufficient current capacity for the number of coins processed per minute should be selected. The module is limited to coin values up to CHF 5.00 and processes Swiss denominations only.
Safety notice
The device is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes. It is not intended for direct connection to power supplies without protective measures. Work on or near electrical installations must be carried out by qualified electricians; if there is any uncertainty regarding the power supply, consult a qualified electrician before commissioning.
