EVK 5.1 - validator

EVK 5.1 validators are designed for reading (or writing) contactless proprietary chip cards (Mifare and Mifare Desfire standard) and possibly also bank cards depending on the necessary reader. The validator also allows reading QR codes, including printing on the media with the QR code. The validator meets the requirements for similar systems including mechanical resistance and is equipped with a very powerful ARM processor with Linux OS.

The validator can operate independently, with one of them being the "main" validator (providing the system functionality) or it can be coupled with an EPIS 5.0x on-board computer, which can be a "simulator" of its operation, i.e. it can show to the driver what is happening on the validator or their control unit (in this case it can also be EPIS 4.0x for MHD).

Another great advantage is the power supply method - the validator can be powered using only 4 wires of the Ethernet bus using PoE according to IEEE 802.3 at or af, which greatly simplifies the system installation - only 4 wires are connected (power supply e.g. using a switch type ECU 08LMT or ECU 08L.+7T).

Another advantage is the HW addressing of the validators in the connector - i.e. when it is replaced, the validator configures itself to the required function according to the HW key.
