Abstract

PURPOSE:To recover only an abnormal data easily by displaying, storing the kind of data and the data value of a set control data and notifying the abnormality by displaying the kind of data and the data value when the data can not be used while checking all the data successively after setting. CONSTITUTION:When setting the control data by operating a setting keyboard 2, the kind of the set data and the data value are displayed on a set data display 1 and written in the RAM of a storage device 4 by a control device 5 with a built-in CPU. When operating the keyboard 2 to turn to a checking mode after all the set data are written, the stored contents of the device 4 are read out successively to decide whether the data can be used or not in the CPU of the device 5. When the data can not be used, the kind of data and the data value are displayed with flicker on the display 1 and notified. Thus, only the abnormal data can be easily recovered.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention provides a vending machine in which control data is set using a keyboard or the like and sales operations are performed based on the control data. The present invention relates to a data abnormality reporting device for a vending machine that allows reporting.

[Conventional technology] Conventionally, this type of device regularly checks the set data and if it cannot be used within the data value range, an abnormality is indicated with a lamp etc. and all columns are sold out. .

Additionally, operators were urged to replace the abnormal data with all the standard data provided by the vending machine. The operator then loaded all the data accordingly.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with conventional devices, if the data values stored in the vending machine are destroyed due to disturbance and are out of the usable range,
Lamps and display screens are used to notify the operator of the presence of abnormal data, but the operator is prompted to know what data has been destroyed and how to replace it with all data, so the operator can automatically load all data. All data has been changed to standard values.

For this reason, there was a problem in that the operator had to re-set data other than standard values in order to make the product available for sale.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a data abnormality reporting control device for a vending machine that eliminates the above-mentioned problems and easily recovers only abnormal data.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises: data setting means for setting setting data for controlling a vending machine; setting data display means for displaying the setting data; and the setting data. A storage means for storing data; a data determination means for determining whether the setting data can be used; a display means for notifying the outside when the setting data is unusable; a display command means for giving a display command to the display means. It shall be equipped with and.

[Function] According to the present invention, when the data value stored in the vending machine is destroyed by a disturbance and goes out of the usage range, the destroyed data is set as a means to notify that an abnormality has occurred. To automatically display a screen on a setting data display and prompt an operator to input data.

[Example] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the invention.

In the figure, 1 is a setting data display that displays set data, 2 is a setting keyboard, and 3 is an I10 for input/output.
boat, 4 is R for storing data and input information
A storage device consisting of an AM, 5 is a control device consisting of a ROM that stores programs corresponding to the processing procedure shown in FIG. 3, and a CPU that executes the processing procedure determined by the program.

The operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 will be explained below with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 3.

First, in step 1, it is determined whether a data display request has been entered from the keyboard 2. If yes, then in step 2, the corresponding data is read from the storage device 4 and the type and data value of the data are sent to the setting data display 1 and displayed. . Then, in step 3, the display status is memorized. Next, in step 4, it is determined whether the data is being displayed, and if it is being displayed, it is then determined in step 5 whether there is a large amount of data from the keyboard 2, and if there is, the data is transferred in step 6. The storage location in the storage device 4 is determined from the type and stored. Then, in step 7, the display status is reset. Next, in step 8, data values are checked for each type of all setting data.

If NO in steps 4 and 5, the process advances to step 8.

Then, in step 9, it is determined whether there is an abnormality, and if so, in step 10, the type of abnormal data and data value are sent and displayed on the setting data display 1.

Next, in step 11, the setting data display 1 is notified that there is an abnormality in order to flicker the data, and then in step 1
2, change the display to a+2 M and return to step 1.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the setting screen for the destroyed data is automatically displayed on the setting data display to prompt the operator to try again, thereby greatly reducing the data recovery work. can be shortened to
