The RS232-MDB, Perfect for PC to MDB interfaces ( PC to MDB adapter )

It is an adapter to existing vending machines to allow the PC to work as the payment device for the vending machine.

RS232-MDB allows the PC to act as a slave cashless payment device for existing vending machine controllers (VMC). It allows the PC to act as a cashless device and add credit(s) to the vending machine. The RS232-MDB interfaces any MDB vending device to the PC via the serial port. By default it acts as device type 10 (cashless device). It has the switch on the box to select the working address as 10H or 60H.

This describes the Interface Protocol for the RS232-MDB Hardware circuit. The RS232-MDB interfaces any MDB vending device (6-pin molex/5pin MTA) to the PC via the serial port (DB-9) Future support may include Universal Serial Bus. The RS232-MDB protocol is compatible with standard RS-232 Protocol.

For some old vending machine,if it doesn't support the cashless device ,our adapter box also can be updated to work as the MDB Coin validator or Bill acceptor.

( NAMA Releases MDB Version 4.3 and WAFER RS232-MDB box support V4.3 protocal . If users already have the vending machine that support the V4.3, you can contact our skype service to know more how to use it. )

For example the New “Remote Vend” provides a method that allows the MDB cashless protocol to run a product dispenser on the VMC. For example, a mobile phone application can select products on the phone screen without touching vending machine buttons / screen.
