- Machine builders who need one board across a mixed product line
- Operators who want per-machine telemetry instead of manual cash counts
Questions we get first
Can one M-VEND board take cash and cashless payment at the same time?
Yes. QR code, contactless (PayPass), a bill acceptor and a coin acceptor are all handled by the same board, so the machine does not need a separate cashless module.
Which protocols and interfaces does M-VEND support?
bPOS light, ccTalk, CCNET and pulse for payment devices, plus RS-232/RS-485, Ethernet and Modbus. The board has 16 digital inputs and 11 outputs for the machine's own sensors and actuators.
Does M-VEND work over MDB?
MDB is not among the M-VEND interfaces: M-VEND takes the place of the machine controller and talks to payment devices over the protocols listed above. If the machine already has an MDB controller that you want to keep, the board for that case is QRport MDB, which sits on the MDB bus and fiscalizes cash and cashless payments.
Which machines is M-VEND for?
Snack, coffee and combo vending machines — both replacing the controller in a machine that cannot take cashless payment and building one board into a mixed product line.
Can the machine be monitored and managed remotely?
Yes. M-VEND sends online telemetry and accepts remote control. The software side covers fiscalization, an operator account and tariff management, so prices are changed without visiting the machine.
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 and the payment devices you plan to use through the form on this page.
