Product Overview

The ViVOpay VEND Vending Reader (the Reader) is an electronic module capable of
communicating with ISO 14443 Type A and Type B compatible cards and tags using Radio
Frequency (RF). Data stored on the cards and tags is read by the Reader and transmitted
to a host. This section provides general information about the Reader. Refer to Appendix
A, B, and C for technical details.

Overview

The Reader consists of a set of printed circuit boards consisting of a Control PCA and
an Antenna PCA. The two circuit boards together contain all circuitry required to
communicate with between the host and RFID cards and tags. An optional Interface
PCA may be connected to the Control PCA to add additional Reader to Host
configurations. All circuit boards are designed to be assembled as a single module
for simple mounting, or they may be separated to accommodate space constraints.

Type A & B cards and tags do not contain internal power and are activated by the RF
power transmitted by the Reader. When a card or tag is positioned close to the
antenna the card/tag is powered and activated, and it transmits its data as a
modulated RF signal to the RF receiver. The RF receiver demodulates the signal and
sends the demodulated tag data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller collects
the tag data, decrypts it (if required), and transmits it to the host terminal. The LEDs
and beeper indicate when a tag has been read successfully.
