Abstract
A diagnostic system for use in a bank note processing machine, and a method of use. The system includes a plurality of operating condition sensors positioned to monitor areas of interest within the machine. A CPU automatically reads the sensors to obtain an initial baseline reading against which operating data is compared. Decisions are made based upon this comparison.
Claims18
A method for monitoring the health of a bank note processing machine, the machine comprising a plurality of operating condition sensors positioned within the machine at specific points of interest, the sensors in communication with a central processing unit (CPU) for automatic gathering and analysis of sensor data, the method steps comprising:
- obtaining baseline profile data of the machine operating condition from one or more of the sensors;
- monitoring the sensors during machine operation to obtain operating data;
- comparing the baseline data with the operating data to determine if an abnormal condition exists within the machine;
- and
- logging the comparison results.
A diagnostic system for use in a bank note processing machine, the system comprising:
- a plurality of operating condition sensors, wherein the sensors are positioned throughout the machine at points of interest;
- a central processing unit in communication with the plurality of sensors, wherein the processing unit is operably configured to execute stored program instruction steps, the program steps comprising:
- obtaining baseline profile data of the machine operating condition from one or more of the sensors;
- monitoring the sensors during machine operation to obtain operating data;
- comparing the baseline data with the operating data to determine if an abnormal condition exists within the machine;
