The cVEND plug is a compact payment module that is available in its basic version without a housing, but also as a partially integrated or surface-mounted version thanks to its modular concept. With approx. 80mm x 70mm it is hardly bigger than a credit card. It is a payment terminal with the latest PCI 5.x and EMVCo. Certifications. In addition to common connections such as RS232, USB, LAN, the module also offers a slot for a μSD card and an expansion slot for plug-in modules. The interaction with the customer takes place via 6 LEDs and a buzzer which is also suitable for noisy environments. Depending on the application, it is available in different software configurations.
NMI
The NMI variant is a ready-to-use solution that can be operated in most of Europe thanks to the secure NMI payment gateway. The standardized ZVT and optional MDB interfaces allow the terminal to be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of applications. Multiple currencies can be used and multiple languages are supported.
Modular concept for more possibilities
No matter if fully integrated, partially integrated or for surface mounting – with cVEND plug you have the free choice due to its modular design. Wherever the terminal cannot be completely integrated into a vending machine with a glass or plastic front, it can be partially recessed with the front housing. If metal surfaces make integration difficult or if you want to save yourself the trouble of creating cut-outs, the cVEND plug with distance frame and front housing can simply be used as a surface-mounted variant. For a better user experience, additional information such as accepted payment methods can be intuitively applied to the terminal via front stickers.
Extension options of the cVEND plug
The Vending Extension Board offers an MDB interface as well as digital inputs/outputs. For example, single-price systems can be implemented via relay control. Maintenance or communication with a cellular modem takes place via the integrated USB host interface.
The SAM Extension Board was specially developed for applications in public transport. It can be used to implement additional applications such as VDV-KA, ITSO, Cipurse or Mifare. The board provides 4 SAM sockets (ID000 format) and one socket for μSD memory cards.
