Embedded Multiple Microcontroller Solution
OVERVIEW
A new approach to electronic system design applied to casino and coin-operated machines.
Traditional systems for casino and coin-operated machines use a central microprocessor to manage the whole machine. Later systems use a more powerful processor running more complicated operating systems, with many Pentium-style processors now installed. Most systems use an additional, custom logic device to enforce security.
The EMMS system takes quite a different approach and relies upon microcontrollers rather than microprocessors. These microcontrollers are much simpler and cheaper devices but display a range of advantages over microprocessors. The EMMS system divides the management of the machine into distinct tasks and allocates a microcontroller to each task. The result is an array of microcontrollers working in concert to achieve a complete casino or coin-operated system.
