New 2020 USB MDB-RS232 Adapter (MDB bill acceptor, coin validator to Computer)

Description

Multi-drop bus to RS-232 (MDB-RS232) for PC RS232 to MDB coin acceptor ,bill acceptor and card reader ,cashless device
Working with coin acceptor,bill acceptor, card reader,cashless defvice, for vending machine,kiosk machine,kiosk information machine
New version  USB interface MDB-RS232 V2020 is updated from Standard three LED MDB-RS232 version. and add more features and also use the Double-Serial technology to provide better stability
The difference of this V2020 version from the standard three LED version is:
1. Support 60H and also 40H device
2. After the MDB box is powered on, the device will not automatically enable the payment device, and the host (VMC) needs to enable the device through the enable command.
Therefore, customers who are already using three LED MDB-RS232 boxes, if you need to replace this new version box, it is best to test the compatibility first, or contact customer service for advice.
Packing list:
1pcs  New  USB version MDB-RS232 V2020 converter box and the cables
Test software can be downloaded free of charge
Important about shipping:
To USA , Europe, Asia , Australia , We will ship with fast DHL express delivery
The vending machine standard NAMA Multi-Drop Bus (MDB) may now be interfaced to a PC using the MDB-RS232. The MDB-RS232 allows Coin acceptors, Change Dispensing, smart card reader, magnetic swipe, credit card reader,bill acceptor and bill validation all controlled by the PC.Conforms to all NAMA MDB specification and is compatible with any MDB compliant vending device. Hardware interface comes with cables,user's guide and user's protocal.
Up to eight (8) MDB compliant devices may be attached to a single MDB-RS232. The programming interface is user-friendly.
DESCRIPTION
This adapter is designed to convert the MDB Bill Acceptor (BA) and MDB Coin Changer (CC) protocol to RS-232 serial protocol. The IU functions as a slave to a master control system. The master may be any control system that supports RS-232 serial communication, for example a PC.
OPERATION:
The master and slave communication is based on master requests and slave replies. The master sends a status request (or command) to the IU and IU answers by sending its current status. The IU’s typical response to the Master’s request (polling) consists of a header and data bytes. If there is no BA or CC activity, the status is one byte, the header only. When the IU receives data from the BA or CC, it sends a header followed by data bytes in the response to master’s status request. The master must always poll (query) the IU. If the IU does not receive a query from the master in the predefined time slot or IU does not recognize master messages 10 times in row, it will inhibit the BA and CC acceptance. At power up, acceptance of the BA and CC is inhibited.
What is MDB and Why do I need the MDB-RS232 ?
MDB stands for "Multi-Drop Bus" and is a protocol developed by vending machine industry. The "Multi-drop Bus" (MDB) protocol is not compatible with the standard RS-232 PC protocol and therefore a hardware and software interface is necessary. The MDB-RS232 is a microprocessor controlled hardware interface with embedded firmware that converts the MDB protocol to an RS232 protocol and also performs the necessary voltage conversion. The MDB-RS232 also relieves the Polling requirements thereby allowing the same PC to perform other tasks.
The MDB-RS232 is necessary to interface the industry standard MDB Vending machine protocol to a standard PC because:
The MDB uses 11 Bits and a nine (9) bit byte.
The polling requirements for the various MDB devices are excessive (20-200 ms).
A non-dedicated PC can not meet the polling requirements.
The MDB-RS232 takes care of the polling requirements and generates an interrupt on the serial port of the PC.
This methods allows the PC to perform normal operations and respond to interrupt driven comm events in the UART buffer.
All data from an MDB device is available to the PC.
Additionally, all commands can be sent to the MDB device from the PC (ie. dispense, write to smart card etc...)
The MDB-RS232 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 MDB-RS232 protocol is compatible with standard RS-232 Protocol.
Coin Acceptors/Dispensers and Foreign Currency:
Any MDB compliant device may be interfaced to a PC. This now makes it possible to accept and dispense any coin types including foreign currency and Euro Dollar (when available).
Smart Card Reader
MDB compliant smart card readers can now be accessed.
