Questions we get first

Can M-AQUA be fitted to an existing water vending machine?

Yes. Retrofitting a water vending machine that has no cashless payment is the main use: the board replaces the controller, while the hydraulics, the bill and coin acceptors stay in place.

Which payment methods does M-AQUA support?

QR code, contactless (PayPass), a bill acceptor and a coin acceptor on the same board. Payment peripherals connect over bPOS light, ccTalk, CCNET or pulse.

Can M-AQUA monitor water quality?

Yes. Two temperature inputs, two analogue inputs, flow meter inputs and a TDS input let one board run the dispensing logic and log water quality at the same time.

Which interfaces and I/O does M-AQUA have?

RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Modbus, plus 16 digital inputs and 11 outputs for pumps, valves and the machine's own sensors. A panel or LCD connects with an on-screen QR code.

How are sales reported and fiscalized?

Every sale goes to an operator account with tariffs and analytics. Fiscal receipts are issued through cloud fiscal receipt services rather than a printer in the machine; support for the service used in your market is a scoping question we answer with the quote.

How do I get the pinout and a quote?

Pinouts, terminal assignments and firmware notes are issued per board revision and sent on request. Send the machine model, the payment devices and the quantity through the form on this page.
