I wish I had some sort of circuit schematics...these boards don't have any harnesses....I will have to try and make them
The pin outs for wiring will be the puzzle...as well as computer software.
My guess is that the J82A 6-pin header on the #7542200 board will go to the J13 header on the S+ motherboard?
The J2 header on the #7542200 board might go to the computer's serial port?

do a search on the MAX 232CPE and print out the chip info......the opto-islator is in the Digi-key catalog.
the rest you can draw out fairly easily.
I got off the project  and didn't quite finish my drawing....but once you know the pin in for the the chip and the outs...everything fairly easy.
It has a 7805  5V regualtor....so you just grab B+ voltage (probably 12VDC so the regulartor worksOK) from somewhere in your wiring harnesses.

That connector on the right-side edge looks suspiciously like the audio cable you get to connect the audio out port on cd-roms to the audio inputs on PC motherboards...

What it does with this card - I have not a clue....

They actually seem to be used a lot in IGT slots...

My IGT "Service & Parts" S+ manual was printed June 18,1993.
In section 5.16, starting from page 181, there's a bit of information on various "data collection" boards.
However, most of these boards have to do with fiber optics and the ASSY NO.'s only go up to ASSY NO.754216.
This particular board is ASSY NO.7542200 , while RBPerrine's board is ASSY NO.75422030.
Would anyone have a IGT "Service & Parts" S+ manual dated after June 18,1993 ?  Scratch Head
I could use a copy   Help

OK......I did some re-drawing.......so attached is a schematic for the 754-220-30 board.
Note that since  U1 isn't on the board.....communication is only one way.

that would make.....

pins 5 and 6  the input......and pin 3 (on the 4 pin jack) data out.

Does this work for you ,  Bunker?

I'll get into it more tomorow when I print it out and examine it...
thanks for the re-drawing of it...
I'm sure it'll help us solve this.!

I'm also thinking about the photo-transistor  from the isolator going to U1.....even though the sockets empty.....there may be a
couple of other parts that terminate there also....and may complete the reutrn loop.
OR.....U1 may be something that just stores info.....until the computer calls to collect it....

I'll revisit the board again in a few days.

I agree... yes
the more I look at this U1, it may be just a simple CMOS DIP chip that goes in there for data storage...
probably nothing more...
I'm more amazed that no one in our slot community seems to know what this board is for and how it's hooked up... arrow

Max 232 is a serial feeder......you can search it and down load the data sheet......or look in some of the Micro Pic circuit desigh books.
I've been looking at it for another project.......controling the slot machine with a read/write magnetic card reader.....and taking the
hopper, coin in and BV out.

Trying to figure out why my DBV 200 in my IGT S+ won't work, I found some wires that don't go anywhere and some connectors that aren't connected.  I did a search on a board# in my machine that has an empty connector, and found this thread.  From what I'm reading here, nobody knows what the board does?  I guess I'll just leave it there then!

The J1 header wires go to J4 on the motherboard extension (proper name?) board on the bottom of the game.  There is a tag on the wires labeled TEST 021 WE.
Here's a couple pictures in case anyone can use the info:

I think the board pictured is some type of interface for player tracking hardware and systems, which is why most of us never use them. One of our casino folks could probably give confirmation and more information.  Scratch Head

The top pic is one of several boards I have and really don't now what they're for actually.
The bottom picture is your S+ motherboard on the floor.
See that long, thin black connector on the floor next to it?
Plug it in on the motherboard.

The other end of that cable terminates in a 2 pin connector that isn't plugged into anything.  What is that connector supposed to connect up to on the other end?

Okay,
It seems that the 15-pin J9 connector header on the motherboard is for several things.
But it looks like the red and green wires on your connector are for a drop meter and lockout.
The reason why there's nothing on the other end is because it was taken out before you got the machine.
This was probably an option that was installed when the machine was at one time in a casino.
Whether it's plugged into your motherboard or not should not affect your DBV.
But, if the red and green wire on that particular coonetor is located at pins number 1 and 3 on the motherboard, then I would plug it back into the power as those are the pin outs for the ground and 24 vac.
This may or may be needed to go to DBV's power supply
( if it has a corresponding connector at the end of it) if there's no other harness going to the DBV.
It is however, mainly important that the J6 connector has a harness going up to the DBV.
The J6 header is the main tunnel for the bill acceptor's in/out data, as well as the power for the DBV.
