CONTROL SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain uniformity of a life time of each equipment and to attain efficiency of operation by controlling stop and working of each of the equipment on the basis of the number of processing times for every equipment. SOLUTION: A first ticket issuing machine 1, a second machine 2,... and an n-th machine 3 are connected to a control device 4 through communication lines. Also, a first ticket inspection machine 5, a second machine 6,... and an n-th machine 7 are connected to the control device 4 through communication lines. The control device 4 transmits a stop instruction via a communication part to the ticket issuing machine in which a value obtained by subtracting an average from a value of a memory storing the number of passenger tickets issued by each of ticket issuing machines 1 to n is a hundred or more, that is, the number of issued tickets is excessive. After that, the control device 4 transmits a restoration instruction when the value obtained by subtracting the average value from the memory value becomes equal to the number of the issued tickets of this stopped ticket issuing machine. Thus, parts where the number of processing of a paper money processing part, a coin processing part and a ticket issuing part is high are stopped. In this way, control is performed so that the number of processing of each equipment becomes uniform, and uniformalization and prolongation of a life time can be attained.
