<p>An intelligent volumetric module (35) for use in metering pressurized syrup to a drink dispenser machine (12) comprises a solenoid driven metering system for controlling liquid flows from a pressurized syrup container and a controller for controlling operation of said solenoid driven metering system (19) according to uniquely addressed instructions received from the drink dispenser's system controller (36). The controller comprises a self-addressing capability (43), wherein serial communication to all but one non-addressed volumetric module is disrupted while a first address is assigned to that one module. Communication is the enabled along a serial bus (33) to a next non-addressed module, to which a second address is assigned. The process continues until each volumetric module is assigned a unique address and connected to the serial communication bus.</p> |
