<p>The system comprises a data input device (T) for inputting data associated with a supply of cartridges or capsules comprised of a predetermined amount of cartridges or capsules (C), and capable of defining a predetermined reference number related to said amount; and an electronic monitoring and control module (EM), adapted to be associated with a machine (CM) for preparing beverages of the cartridge or capsule kind, and comprising: a detector (26) adapted to acquire said data; at least one controlled switch (22), connectable between the electric pump (10) and the associated control switch (5a) of the machine (CM), such that the electric pump (10) can be activated only when said controlled switch (22) is closed, and can be deactivated if said switch (22) is open; at least one detection terminal (21a) adapted to be connected to the control switch (5a) associated with the electric pump (10) of the machine (CM), to provide an activation signal each time said control switch (5a) is operated to activate the electric pump (10); and a processing and control unit (25) predisposed for: driving the controlled switch (22) to allow the activation of the electric pump (10), each time the processing and control unit (25) receives one activation signal; counting and storing the number of activations of the electric pump (10) corresponding each to the preparation of a beverage by means of a corresponding cartridge or capsule (C); comparing said number of activations with the reference number; and performing a predetermined operation as a function of the result of said comparison.</p> |
