1. CCTALK®SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
This technical manual comprises the serial communication protocol cctalk®implemented on
the X6 validators.
1.1 Introduction
The communication protocol that has been implemented in the Validator is compatible with
cctalk®. The specification used for the implementation of this communication protocol is the
following: cctalk Serial Communication Protocol, Generic Specification, Issue 4.3.
General characteristics of working in serial mode:
¾The validator will have a default address assigned in the factory, but this can be
changed with cctalk commands (“Address change” “Address poll”).
¾The validator can work with a total of 16 different types of coins.
¾It has 16 inhibit bits, one for each type of coin (command “Modify inhibit status”).
¾The validator can work with a 5 or 3 ways sorter.
¾The default sorter path can be programmed with the command “Modify default sorter
path”.
¾The sorter paths can be inhibited: command “Modify sorter override status”. Each coin
has programmed 4 possible sorter paths. If the path programmed as a first optin (path
1) is inhibited the coin will be diverted to path 2. If this is inhibited will be diverted to
path 3 and if it is inhibited the coin will go to path 4. If all the paths are inhibited the
coin will go to the default path.
¾After the switching on the validator or after a reset all the coins will be inhibited.
¾The exit code of the coins that are being accepted by the validator can be transmitted to
the machine in reply to the command “Read buffered credit or error codes”. It is advised
that the machine poll the validator with this command at intervals from 100 ms. to 900
ms.. If the time is above 1 second without the machine polling, the validator inhibits the
acceptance of all coins until it receives a new “Read buffered credit or error codes”
command. This way of working avoids the validator admitting coins when the machine is
not working correctly.
¾The Validator has the possibility to work in “secure mode”: certain commands are not
admitted in order to avoid the modification of the working way of the Validator.

Protocols: MODULAR X6 CCTALK VALIDATOR 7
Additionally, the validator can work in mode “L66 cctalk compatibility”. In this mode
some commands have changed its behaviour in order to be compatible with the L66
cctalk validator.
¾The Validator has one zone with 64 bytes of data available to the user into the Flash
memory. This zone is read and written by the means of the commands “Read data
block” and “Write data block”.
¾Following the CCTALK specifications, Appendix 6, the CCTALK interface identification
can be one of the following:
cctalk b96.p0.v12.a5.d0.c7.m0.x8.e0.i3.r4: conector de tipo 7.

2. PHYSICAL LEVEL
2.1 Voltage levels and transmission speeds
The data is established using TTL levels: 5 volts is a ‘1’ logic and 0 volts is a ‘0’ logic, being the
level of rest of 5 volts. The validator has a “pull-up” resistor at 5 Vdc.
Mark (idle): +5Vdc.
Space (activates): 0Vdc
The communication is asynchronous and half-duplex, that is, it cannot simultaneously transmit
more than one element on the bus.
The ‘timing’ of the communication meets the characteristics of the RS232 industrial standard.
RS232 communication has various parameters that in this application are configured as
follows:
9600 bauds, 1 start bit, 8 data bits, without parity, 1 stop bit
2.2 Connector
The validator has two connectors:
Type 7 connector, following the CCTALK specification: 4 ways “standard interface, JST
connector”. The description is as follows:
PIN NAME DESCRIPTION
1 VIN Power supply of the validator
2 N.C. Not connected
3 GND Ground, internally connected to 0V
4 /DATA Data line
Table 1: 4 pins Conector CCTALK

Protocols: MODULAR X6 CCTALK VALIDATOR 9
10 pins connector, equivalent to Molex serial 862, P/N 10-89-1101 (10µgold). The description
is as follows:
PIN NAME DESCRIPTION
1 /DATA Data line
2 N.C. Not connected
3 S1 Sorter coil 1
4 S3 Sorter coil 3
5 N.C. Not connected
6 S2 Sorter coil 2
7 VIN Power supply of the validator
8 GND Ground, internally connected to 0V
9 N.C. Not connected
10 N.C. Not connected

Nota 1: This connector is designed to work with a sorter of 3 or 5 ways.

3. LOGIC LEVEL
3.1 Message structure
The format of the messages is the following:
[Destination address]
[Nº of data bytes]
[Origin address]
[Header]
[Data 1]
[Data 2]
...
[Data N]
[Checksum]
Each sequence of communication is made up of two strings. The first corresponds to the
command sent by the Machine to the Validator, and the second is the reply sent by the
Validator to the Machine. Both strings have the format indicated previously.
3.2 Destination address
The ‘Destination address’ byte indicates the node on the bus (slave) Where the message is
directed. The range of addresses goes from 0 to 255 (of those 254 correspond to Validator
addresses as is explained further on).
0: Used in messages that affect all the Validators simultaneously, (Broadcast
messages).
1: Machine address. When the message is directed from the Validator to the Machine.
2 to 255: addresses of the Validators in multi-slave communication, configurable using
software with MDCES commands. The default address of the Validator is 2
although it can be modified using commands.
