When you want to enter manually the PLU item programmed for the drink dispenser, the drink
dispenser connected to the machine must be in the off-line mode. Generally in the IRC system,
the on-line/off-line mode choice information is distributed when programmed. However, if a
trouble occurs in the IRC system, such information can not be distributed.
In this case, you can locally set the on-line/off-line mode of each drink dispenser by this
procedure.

This local on-line/off-line mode choice is valid only for the drink dispenser whose number was
specified and distributed via the LAN.  This job can only specify a drink dispenser connected to
another machine, while it can not specify the drink dispenser directly connected to the machine

at which this programming is being carried out.

• This job directly changes the drink dispenser on-line/off-line mode information distributed,

via the LAN, from another machine connected to a drink dispenser. When the LAN is
recovered, therefore, the on-line/off-line mode choice information on all machines in the
system must be updated again.

• This job does not check whether a drink dispenser with a specified number really exists or

not.

Enter the PGM2 mode.

Select “SETTING” and touch the 

ENTER

 key.

Select “DRINK DISPENSER” and touch the 

ENTER

 key.

Move the cursor to “LOCAL DD” and touch the 

ENTER

key.

With the cursor at the desired drink dispenser number,

select ON-LINE or OFF-LINE and touch the 

ENTER

 key.

1) Setting the link between sort codes and PLU codes in the IRC system

In the IRC system, the procedure for setting the link between sort codes and PLU codes is the

same as that in a standalone machine. (For the setting procedure, see the UP-3301 Instruction

Manual)

After the final 

CASH/TL

 key is touched, the program for the drink dispenser sales article table is sent

to every machine in the IRC system. Thus the link information in the IRC system is distributed in

real time.

If the data can not be sent to a machine, the corresponding machine number and error message

(“INLINE ERROR”) are shown on the display screen.

• Linking of the same PLU code is not disabled for sorting two or more drink dispensers in the

IRC system. In this case, however, the corresponding operation of the drink dispenser can be

executed at the machine to which the drink dispenser is not connected only when the off-line

mode is selected in all drink dispensers where this PLU code is linked.

2) Choosing whether to set the on-line or off-line mode for the drink dispenser

In the IRC system, the procedure for setting the on-line/off-line mode for the drink dispenser is

the same as that in a standalone machine. (For the setting procedure, see the UP-3301

Instruction Manual.)

After the final 

CASH/TL

 key is touched, the drink dispenser on-line/off-line mode information is sent to

every machine in the IRC system. Thus the link information in the IRC system is distributed in

real-time.

If the data can not be sent to a machine, the corresponding machine number and error message

(“INLINE ERROR”) are displayed.

The IRC system incorporates a back-up system.

One of the satellites can be designated to serve as a back-up master.

When both the master and back-up master are in order, the system works in the following

sequence:

1) Each satellite sends updated GLU/PBLU data to the master.

2) The master receives the data, processes it and sends it back to the satellite.

3) The satellite sends the updated data to the back-up master.

4) The back-up master receives the data, processes it and sends it back to the satellite.

If the master breaks down, the back-up master serves as the master after a master declaration

procedure is made at the back-up master. If the back-up master breaks down, the updated data

transmission to it can be stopped by a master declaration at the master. When the master or

back-up master recovers from the breakdown, it resumes its function as the master or back-up

master by the recovery declaring operation.

When the master or back-up master breaks down, the master declaration procedure should be

performed to inform satellites of the breakdown.

 1) A satellite detects a breakdown of the master through the system retry function when it is

sending updated GLU/PBLU data to the master. At this point, the message “NO REPLY/

MASTER” appears in the pop-up window of the display.

   NO REPLY/MASTER

* For the system retry function, see pages 59–60.

 2) The master declaration operation must be done at the back-up master. This operation

informs the other satellites that the master has broken down and the back-up master will

serve as the master hereafter. (During this process, operations cannot be performed at

satellites.)

 3) Each satellite in the IRC system starts sending updated GLU/PBLU data to the back-up

master.

 4) The back-up master processes the received data and sends back the processed data to

each satellite.
