More Details
We have a fun example of how simple it is to activate a contact closure output with payment using our MDB-USB Interface Plus.
The reader has a internet connection and a power supply connected to it and is outputting a MDB cable to our device. The MDB Bus is powering our interface so no other connection is necessary. Running our AUTO command the reader is idle and waiting for payment.
By presenting a credit card or a mobile phone with mobile payment capabilities (like Apple Pay) the reader confirms payment to the interface which in turns activate the relay that can be connected to any application or system you may need. You can use it to turn a turnstile with payment, to open a door, to play an arcade machine like pinball. Everything that can be activated through a contact closure can be used with this solution.
