System Overview
The Frameworx system is actually two separate systems: a scoring system and a control system. The scoring system consists of electronic assemblies located in the bowler and pinsetter areas. These assemblies control the pinsetter and automatic scoring functions and provide the bowler with input capabilities and a display of the game in progress. The scoring system is available in four configurations: Teamworx, Powerworx, Uniworx, and Touchworx Flatscreen. The control system, referred to as CenterMaster, consists of computers and electrical assemblies located at the control desk, and in some cases, the office. The main function of CenterMaster is to provide the bowling center personnel convenient control of the scoring system while keeping track of the financial transactions and bowling activity in the center.
Glossary of Terms In this section, the following terms are used. To better understand the information presented in this section you should familiarize yourself with these terms. Bowler Entry Station/Keypad - The keyboard pedestal used in the Teamworx configuration that allows the bowler to enter all the information and selections as a full scorer console, but does not have the lower monitors. Ceronix Monitor - An overhead or lower monitor that is used to display the scorer console video. Ethernet - A communication protocol used by a group of computers to share information. Hub - A device that modifies the transmission signals or cables in a network so that they can extend to additional devices. In Frameworx scoring systems, the Hub changes the Ethernet 10Base-2 cable to a 10Base-T cable style. These can then attach to 16 LGPs. (LGP) Lane Group Processor - The electronic circuit board assembly that allows operation of a lane pair. This chassis is located on the curtain wall in installations that do not include a scorer console. If the installation includes a scorer console, the LGP boards are located in the Primary Console. (LLAN) Local Local Area Network - A term used to describe the communication used by an LGP to communicate to the circuit boards within a lane pair. It is referred to as a local LAN because it is exclusive to a lane pair. Primary Scorer Console - The console in Powerworx and Uniworx configurations that contains the LGP in addition to its own circuitry. This is usually the console for the left pinsetter. For Teamworx and Touchworx Flatscreen configurations, this refers to the electronics used for the left (odd numbered) lane.
System Overview 3
(RGBS) Red, Green, Blue, Sync - A format of video describing the way in which the video is sent over the cable. Secondary Scorer Console - The console in the Powerworx and Uniworx configurations that contains limited circuitry for its own use. This console does not contain the LGP (Refer to Primary Scorer Console definition). For Teamworx and Touchworx Flatscreen configurations, this refers to the electronics used for the right (even numbered) lane. TV Only Monitor - An overhead monitor that is used to display only the video cassette recorder (VCR) or TV video. This monitor cannot display scorer console information.
CenterMaster The components included with CenterMaster change according to the needs of the bowling center. In its most basic form, CenterMaster includes a single high speed Pentium computer, complete with a keyboard, mouse, display monitor, cash drawer, printer, audio/video unit and ethernet hub. As needed, additional computers, cash drawers and hubs are added. The cabling for the CenterMaster System is dependant on wether the system has been upgraded from Command Network or if it was installed as a factory shipped Center Master System. Refer to figures titled CenterMaster Upgrade Configuration 1, CenterMaster Upgrade Configuration 2, CenterMaster Upgrade Configuration 3, CenterMaster Upgrade Configuration 4, for factory shipped installation; CenterMaster Configuration 1, CenterMaster Configuration 2, CenterMaster Configuration 3, and CenterMaster Configuration 4.

System Overview 27
Bowler’s Area The bowler’s area contains all of the components needed by the bowler to provide automatic scoring for a lane pair and allow the scoring unit to communicate to the office computer. Components that are found in the bowler’s area differ between each configuration and may include: Overhead Monitors Scorer Consoles Flat Screens/Keypads
Overhead Monitors (Teamworx, Powerworx, Touchworx , and Uniworx [Optional]) An overhead monitor is used to provide the bowler with a large display of his/ her name and scores or an optional display of television or VCR video. The monitors used with Frameworx are single lane units that can be arranged individually, in pairs or as a triple configuration that includes a TV only monitor. The two types of monitors available are referred to as the Ceronix monitor and a TV only monitor. The Ceronix monitor is primarily used to show the scoresheet and other bowling displays but can also show the TV/VCR video generated by the VCR located at the Control Desk. The TV Only monitor, as the name implies, can show only TV/VCR video.
Scorer Consoles (Powerworx and Uniworx) The Powerworx, configuration includes primary and secondary consoles. The primary console is a full scorer console which contains a 13" monitor. This console is usually used to control the left lane of a lane pair. It is referred to as the primary console because it contains the LGP in addition to its normal circuit boards. This console can be thought of as the “master” console of a lane pair because the LGP is used by both consoles. Refer to Lane Group Processor later in this section. Like the primary console, the secondary console is a full featured scorer console that contains a 13" color monitor. This console is typically the one used to control the right lane of a lane pair. It is referred to as the secondary console because it only contains the circuits needed to control its own keyboard and speaker. This console must rely on the LGP, located in the primary console, for obtaining and processing information. Additional circuits in the secondary console supply the VPS or GS Controller with power. The Uniworx configuration includes only the primary console. Special programming allows the user to select the left or right lane before entering information.
28
System Overview
Keypad (Teamworx Only) The keypad is a full function keyboard that allows the bowler to enter all information needed to begin bowling or change/correct information once bowling has begun. The use of a keypad gives the bowler complete control over bowling functions without the cost or space required for a full scorer console. Entry options include names, score corrections, special features, and language selection.
Flatscreen (Touchworx Only) The flatscreen is a touch-sensitive LCD display that allows the bowler to directly select options by simply touching the screen. The screens are supplied with power and are controlled through a Touchworx controller unit mounted under the ball rack.
Pinsetter Area The pinsetter area contains equipment used to interface the pinsetter and office computer to the lane pair. This equipment is typically mounted on a panel attached to the curtain wall or to the pinsetter itself. Equipment may include: Ethernet Hub(s) GS Controller Lane Group Processor (LGP)
Ethernet Hub(s) (All Configurations) The Ethernet Hub allows communication from the office computer to branch to the individual LGPs. Different hubs are available. The typical hub splits communication into 16 branches allowing one hub to provide communication for 32 lanes. If more than 32 lanes are present, additional hubs are used for smaller centers.
System Overview 29
GS Controller (Configurations with GS Series Pinsetters installed before June 1999) The GS Controller is located on the curtain wall between each pair of pinsetters. This component is controlled by the LGP and is responsible for Interfacing the “GS” pinsetters to the LGP for installation prior to June 1998.
Lane Group Processor (Teamworx and Touchworx Flatscreen) The lane group processor (LGP) contains the circuit boards that control a pair of lanes and can be considered the “brain” of a lane pair. It handles calculations for scoring, video for the monitors, and communication to the control desk. In the Touchworx Flatscreen and Teamworx configurations the LGP is located on the curtain wall between each pinsetter pair. In the Powerworx configurations, the LGP is located inside one of the consoles (referred to as the primary console). To keep installations consistent, the primary console is usually the console for the left lane (odd numbered lane).
Control Desk/Office Area The control desk/office area contains the equipment needed to operate and control Frameworx scoring systems. It may consist of: High Speed Computers complete with Monitors, Keyboard, and Mouse Display Terminal Intelligent Cash Drawers CMS Audio/Video Unit Intercom Handset(s) Scoresheet Printer(s) Receipt Printer(s) Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)
Intelligent Cash Drawer The intelligent cash drawer opens automatically at the proper time, giving the control desk operator a convenient place to put money received during transactions. In addition, the cash drawer interfaces an optional customer display to the system. This type of cashdrawer is used in Centermaster upgrade systems.
Standard Cash Drawer The standard cash drawer opens automatically at the propoer time giving the conrol desk operator a convenient place to put money received during transaction. The drawer gets poer to open from the receipt printer, this type of drawer is used in Centermaster (non-upgarde) configurations.
30
System Overview
Audio/Video Unit The audio/video (A/V) unit is used to adapt the intercom and VCR audio and VCR video to Frameworx scoring systems. Controls include a master volume control for the VCR audio.
Intercom Handset The intercom handset provides a convenient “telephone” style communication to each scorer console or keypad. The intercom base includes an on/off switch that automatically connects/disconnects the audio to the scorer.
Scoresheet Printer The scoresheet printer allows the control desk operator to obtain a hard copy of a bowler’s scores. Scoresheets can be printed for the current game as well as a specific number of previous games. Currently, scoresheets for the prior 48 hours can be printed.
High Speed Computer(s) A CenterMaster system always contains at least one computer (PC) referred to as the “server.” This PC is normally located in an office area, but may be placed at the control desk for centers that only have one PC or that want to use it as a point-of-sale (POS) terminal. Additional PCs, called clients, are located at the control desk, snack bar, proshop, or other areas that require POS terminals. The main differences between the server and the client PCs are the server runs on the Windows NT/2000 Server OS and contains a CDROM drive and an Iomega Zip drive while the client(s) run the Windows NT/2000 Workstation OS and contain only a CDROM drive. All PCs have a keyboard, monitor, and mouse connected to them. Additional equipment attached to the computer can include receipt printers and cash drawers, customer pole displays and bar code readers. Monitors for PCs used at a POS location are also available in a touchsreen version.
Bar Code Reader The bar code reader allows the use of bowlers cards to simplify the tracking of frequent open play bowlers. When a bowler card is scanned their bowler information is retrieved from the CenterMaster server. When the bowler is assigned to a lane their name will be automatically sent to the console and their scores will transfer back to the computer.
