Interfacing Cable Tester

The cable tester is functional without connecting to external devices or system.

A 4 pins connector (green pluggable terminal connector) is available to allow custom connection to your own device or equipment. This connector is isolated via an optocoupler. This isolation will protect the tester from damage due to any wrong external connection.

Custom User Interface to Cable Tester

The simple interface can be a switch and LED indicator. You may want to use your own foot padel switch to start the wiring connection test or may have your own indicator panel for your operator use.

You can adopt to the following connection.

Multiple Cable Tester Linking Together

For some situation, this tester may not have enough test point for your cable harness. Each tester can only connect up to 64 connection points. If your connect has more than 64 points that you want to test in one shot, you can consider interfacing them in parallel as shown in the diagram.

This connection allows you to test cable harness with many connection points at the same time. It will allow a single test switch to trigger the tester. Any fault detected from one of the testers, it can drive your external indicator.

*** Please note that the test connection points are not inter-connected between the individual tester modules. Just take note to connect only groups of wires that are inter-connected together within a single tester.

Digital Controller Connection

The tester can also be connected to your digital logic controller for more custom/complex control of your entire system.

The connection has a opto-coupled design. This will ensure that the tester will not cause interference issue to your controller or be affected by any external controller interfacing.

Interfacing to High Power Devices

For interfacing to high power devices, it is recommended to have a relay as the interface to isolate from the tester. The optocoupler built inside is meant to protect the tester. It cannot be used to drive a high current. Any current higher than 0.1A, it is recommended that a bigger relay is used for the interfacing.

The following is an example of the connection you can do to drive high power devices.

Selecting Your Vending Machine

There are many types of the vending machine to choose from. You do not need to be restricted or worry about not being able to connect with a cashless payment system. We are proficient in connecting up systems together.

One important point to take note is understanding the vending machine standard. As the vending machine is getting more and more popular, standards are established in the industry. Having a standard enables easier integration with vending machine related peripherals.

food vending

The two common communication standard between vending machine peripherals and electronic devices are MDB and VCCS. This standard takes care of how electronic devices talks to other devices within the vending machine.

MDB is a common vending machine protocol used in the European countries. It is fairly common in Singapore too.

VCCS is a common vending machine protocol used in Japan. You might be able to see innovation Japan vending machine deployed around Singapore island.

It is recommended that you look for a vending machine that is supporting MDB communication protocol. You can ask your vending machine manufacturer if their machine can support MDB or VCCS.

Using a vending machine design to the specific standard is cost-effective. You can simply plug in an MDB enabled cashless card payment terminal and you expect it to work without issues. It is plug and play. There is a lower probability of facing technical issues. This also translates to lower deployment cost and maintenance cost.

A vending machine that does not conform to the MDB or VCCS standards can also be connected to a cashless card payment terminal. Our engineer will have to assess your unique vending machine and design interfaces to enable your machine to communicate with the standard payment system. Many new unique vending machine may not support MDB or VCCS.

If you want to use such a unique vending system, we can assist you further. Simply send us your vending machine information,

  • photos of the machine,
  • technical documentation,
  • operation manual,
  • etc…

 

Contact PIC-CONTROL for further questions.

Test Setup for D-sub RJ11 Assembled Cable

Imagine you are mass producing a cable (D-sub and RJ11 connectors). You would like to test and ensure the wiring is done correctly before you shipped out to your customer. You can setup the tester as shown in the picture.

D-Sub and RJ11 connector connection tester device (PIC-350)

  1. First step is to buy or prepare the mating connectors for your D-sub connector end, and your RJ11 connector end. The mating connectors are for making the connection to the cables that you wanted to test.
    It acts as an adaptor interface between your cable and the PIC-350 tester.
  2. You can wire up the individual wires to any of the port connectors on PIC-350. It does not matter which port you connect because the device can learn the wiring connection on-the-fly. You just need to ensure all the wiring are connected.
  3. Power up the PIC-350 through a USB mini-B cable.
  4. Connect your original master cable (a sample with the correct wire connection) to the PIC-350 via the adaptor interface that you had prepared in step no. 1.
  5. Press the learn button to allow the device to learn the connection from this master cable.
  6. You can then proceed to swap the master cable with the cable which you want to test
  7. Press the TEST button to begin testing.
    The device will indicate a green light and a valid beep sound if the connectivity is the same.
    A red indicator and an error buzz sound will be sound if the cable does not have the same wiring connection.
  8. Continue to swap to test the remaining batch of your cables.

This tester is designed to be a simple general multi-purpose cable tester. The same test procedure applies to any complex cable harness wiring configuration. Simple to use.
