In general, the subway, which has to deal with a large number of users, is equipped with an AFC system that allows all the tasks such as ticketing, ticketing, billing, and settlement to be done unattended. The equipment used in the AFC system includes terminals such as a general ticket machine (ATVM), fixed ticket machine (ATF), checkout machine (AAM), ticket machine (TOM), etc., which have the basic function of ticket release. There is equipment, and these terminal equipments are connected to the upper level reverse computer system by communication line. Among these terminal equipments, ticket machines are devices that station staffs sell at the request of passengers, and they carry only passengers who are not used to operating devices such as ordinary ticket machines or fixed ticket machines, or high-priced bills or coins (or coins) that are unsatisfactory. Used to handle passengers present. The automatic ticketing machine usually includes a main body and a peripheral device. For example, an operation panel, a fare indicator, and a journal printer, which serve as front panel parts and station attendant panels of a normal ticket machine, are peripheral devices connected to the automatic ticketing machine body. The main body includes a power supply unit, a main control unit and a ticket issuing unit.

Check the abnormality caused by each function of the operation panel by starting the test program built in (40). Data transmission and reception between the control board 30 of the control panel connected to the computer can be implemented in the same manner as the data is transmitted and received between the control board 30 and the main control unit (TQM). When an abnormality occurs in this way, it is displayed by a test program running on the computer, and the operator can recognize which function has occurred. If a fault occurs, the circuit of the board may be checked and repaired using a conventional repair tool.

However, in the conventional test work as described above, there is a problem that the work is cumbersome and complicated because there is no separate dedicated repair apparatus. In other words, it was possible to easily check each function of the control panel of the ticketing machine to find out whether there is an abnormality, but when a problem occurs in any function and needs to be repaired, a normal repair tool has to be used, which is cumbersome.

Accordingly, the present invention can be arranged to facilitate the testing of the operating panel of the ticketing machine to be repaired, and to provide a test apparatus and a test panel dedicated testing apparatus and method of the ticketing machine that can be repaired at the same time as the test can be facilitated. For that purpose.
