Vencube in conjunction with HVMC-100 vending machine control

Operating the Vencube with a Höfer HVMC-100 Controller

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.
