PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller of automatic dispensers capable of increasing a period of peak-cut operation in a peak-cut preset time zone.SOLUTION: The controller of an automatic dispenser controls a chamber temperature control unit 6 to perform a peak-cut operation to stop temperature control when the automatic dispenser enters into a peak-cut preset time zone. When a timer unit 8, which performs a time-count operation when a door state detection unit 7 detects a door opening, detects a continuous open of a door of commodity storage under the peak-cut operation exceeding a predetermined period of time, the controller stops the peak-cut operation and performs an ordinary operation. At a point when the timer unit 8 detects that the predetermined time has elapsed from a point when the peak-cut operation is stopped and the ordinary operation is started based on the open-time of the door (continuous open time), when a calendar unit detects the automatic dispenser is within the peak-cut preset time zone yet, the peak-cut operation is resumed. Thus, the automatic dispenser contributes a power saving (energy saving). |
