• 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.
