Vencube in conjunction with HVMC-100 vending machine control

Operating the Vencube with a Höfer HVMC-100 vending machine control

Requirements

For MDB operation of the Vencube with an HVMC controller, the use of an EPROM with the software version:
HVMC 100-CC Version 1.38EUR (2Mbit)
is mandatory! EPROMs larger than 1Mbit cannot be used in the first series of HVMC controllers; for this reason, only a BDV Vencube can be used. All subsequent HVMC controllers are equipped for MDB operation with a Vencube after a software update. These controllers can be distinguished by the printed labels.

HVMC 100

Print: HVMC 100: Vencube can only be connected under BDV!

HVMC 100-1/-2/-3

Print: HVMC 100-1/-2/-3 MDB operation with a Vencube is possible after a software update!

• Software version HVMC 100 Version 1.38 EUR must be used.
• Convert the controller to MDB operation: →Set DIP switch 2 to OPEN.
• Set C8.A with Display Card Amount in the menu.

After replacing the EPROM, the controller must be initialized and reconfigured. All previous data will be lost.
