  • Patent number: 11600157
    Abstract: The proposed ATM comprises a microcontroller for controlling a banknote dispenser and a computer for managing the ATM, which are arranged inside and outside, respectively, a safe. The computer is provided with one or more ports for interfacing with it; all the ports are occupied by corresponding connectors. A motion sensor is associated with each single connector for detecting any tampering or movements indicative of its removal from the corresponding port; in this case, the dispensing of the banknotes is inhibited, for example, by interrupting an electrical power supply of the microcontroller and/or of the banknote dispenser. A corresponding operation method of the ATM is proposed. A program product for controlling the ATM are also proposed.
