Abstract
A system for controlling selection and distribution of a product in a product dispensing system. The system includes a user interface for prompting a selection and selecting the product, a machine control processor in communication with the user interface, a power distribution module connected to the machine control processor, and a power supply unit for supplying power to the system through the power distribution module.
Claims9
A system for controlling selection and distribution of a product in a product dispensing system, the system comprising:
- a nozzle;
- a storage subsystem containing a plurality of ingredient containers;
- a user interface having a module for prompting a selection of a product;
- a plumbing control subsystem, including a variable line impedance flow control device and a pump module coupled to said plurality of ingredient containers;
- a power distribution module is connected to the machine control processor;
- and
- a control logic subsystem communicatively coupled with the storage subsystem, the user interface, and the plumbing control;
- wherein the control logic subsystem provides a first signal to the variable line impedance flow control device coupled to a control feedback controller system providing a feedback signal to control the supply of a first quantity of a first ingredient from one of said plurality of ingredient containers,
- wherein the control logic subsystem provides a subsequent signal to the variable line impedance flow control device to control the supply of a second quantity of a second ingredient from another one of said plurality of ingredient containers.
