The MultiEncoder Module is composed of:
(see schematic )
- A card transport station placing the cards into the SLOT device (described below) which can be used for Chip/Antenna preliminary test or for read back functions.
- The « SLOT » device (A) is a housing that integrates Contact ISO 7816/CLess ISO 14443/15693 terminals and holds the smart card in place during the electrical personalization process
- Card transport/card loading station that loads/unloads the smart cards in the SLOT device .
- A carousel type design that can hold up to 16 SLOT devices. The SLOT devices are connected to a relevant dedicated embedded PCs placed on the carousel itself. (B).
- A card transport station that can rotate or flip the card before moving it to the stacker or into other PREMIUM SERIES modules.
- Security cabinet.

ELECTRONICS DESIGN

The electronic hardware design is composed of three main systems:

Master System Controller
- A desktop PC where the Supervisor Process (ZEN) and the Graphic User Interface (INFINITY) run.

Machine Controller
- An industrial PC (embedded) where the Automation Processes runs  

SLOT Device (up to 16 on the wheel, 1 static)
- a dedicated housing that that holds the smart card in place during the electrical personalization process,

- an embedded PC (104 std) where the Smart Card Application (Chip Manager) runs,

- LAN connection, the Chip interface ISO 7816/4 and the Contactless interface ISO 14443 A/B-ISO 15693 and relevant physical terminals, connected to the embedded PC by RS232/USB communication interface.

The SLOT devices are completely autonomous and independent and can operate in parallel with each device connected via a LAN to the Master Controller and HSM.
