When the sensor is inspected, it is determined whether each sensor is operating normally based on the sensor voltage value obtained by supplying the light emission current to all sensors. When the target motor is rotated and the rise time of the motor is slow or the motor speed is not stable, it is determined that the motor operation is not normal.

However, in the above-described conventional technology, the sensor operation and the motor operation must be checked separately, and when checking the motor, check each time to check the motor individually. For this reason, there is a problem that it takes much time and time to check all the motors.

Value and rise time, and the motor voltage value and the motor voltage threshold value are compared, and the rise time and the rise time threshold value are compared. Characterized by determining whether normal or not.

  Thus, according to the present invention, when an instruction for confirming the operation of the sensor and the motor is input, it is possible to collectively check whether all the sensors and the motor are operating normally. Time and effort can be reduced, and the time required for checking the operation of all sensors and motors can be shortened.

“Motor load voltage level” is determined by applying predetermined 17 levels (00 to 16) according to the motor voltage value. When the motor voltage value is large and the motor operation is close to the normal state Is assigned a low level, and “00” is assigned if the motor voltage value cannot be acquired due to an error or the like.

“Motor rise level” is determined by applying predetermined six levels (00 to 05) according to the rise time. When the rise time is early, a low level is given, and the rise time is an error. For example, “00” is assigned if the information cannot be obtained.
The “life / consumption level” is classified into five levels (01 to 05), and in addition to the read motor voltage value and rise time, “energization time” for each motor stored in the main storage unit 16. This is determined comprehensively from the “cleaning history” of the banknote handling machine.
