When we purchase a machine, the supplier allows us to select between working with Executive and MDB protocols but…<\/p> \n \n

Do we really know which protocol is right for us?<\/p> \n \n

\u00a0<\/p> \n \n

How does the Executive Protocol work?<\/h3> \n \n

It was developed by MARS in the early 1980s and is based on a Master-Slave protocol, where the wallet is the Master and the machine is the Slave.<\/p> \n \n

The accounting data is shared between the machine and the wallet!! In the machine, sales are by channel and in the coin-operated system, everything related to the financial part, money in tubes, money in piggy banks, etc.<\/p> \n \n

The ideal option is to work with ‘Price Holding’, where we assign each machine channel a price line from the wallet and thus we can capture the accounting from the wallet.<\/p> \n \n

We can also work in ‘Cross by Price’, assigning all channels with the same price to a single wallet line. This option is not recommended since we lose control of sales by channel.<\/p> \n \n

The original protocol did not allow the connection of peripherals, although later revisions included cash-less systems and currently the alignment of prices with the price displays located on the trays of the machines.<\/p> \n \n

To incorporate a wallet or any MDB device, we need an executive wallet that includes an MDB Slave port.<\/p> \n \n

MDB Protocol<\/h3> \n \n

It was developed in the 1990s by Coinco for Coca-Cola.<\/p> \n \n

In MDB, all the potential is in the machine’s CPU, which will allow us to use wallets with lower performance and ultimately lower prices.<\/p> \n \n

The machine becomes a Master that controls multiple MDB peripherals; coin-operated, bill-operated, cashless, credit card, audit devices, etc.<\/p> \n \n

This is a protocol in constant evolution; both EVA and NAMA have a committee in charge of its review and evolution. The latest modifications are from 2019.<\/p> \n \n

MDB or Executive?<\/h3> \n \n

Although the trend should be to change our payment systems to MDB, we have to know the pros and cons of each of the two protocols.<\/p> \n \n

The ideal decision will be conditioned by the management of the Audit as well as the connection of the different peripherals.<\/p> \n \n
