cVEND plug

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.

 

flex

With flex, the cVEND payment terminal can be integrated individually. Two variants are available for this purpose: flex I contains a fully configured payment operating system - without level 2 kernel or level 3 host applications. This allows customers to implement their own kernels and level 3 applications. This enables secure closed-loop and public transport eTicket applications. Migration to open-loop payment is possible at any time. 

In addition to the flex I options, the variant flex II includes a certified Level 2 kernel for VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, RuPay, Union Pay and the kernel of the German girocard.
Customers can integrate these ready-certified kernels into their own payment applications and thus significantly reduce the development and approval effort.

FEIG provides SDKs including the required development tools.

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.
