(/PSA fitting). Exclusive, anti -vibrations, AEP “Spring-O-Lock”
male pins on validator side;
• PSC, industry standard mounting system for legacy obliterators
(/PSC fitting, male pins on support side);
• PSL, industry standard mounting system for previous generation
obliterators (/PSL fitting, male pins on support side).
Supports:
AEP offers a choice of PSA and PSC supports, in many
variants for different applications.
Connector
: multi pole 16 pins male connector, specially designed for
automotive industry. Pin assignment can be customized according
to Customer’s request. Connector type:
• PSA mounting: DIN 41622
• PSC and PSL: WPI 26-159-16
Position detection:
3 digital inputs to identify validator position on
the bus network. Up to 8 different positions can be encoded through
a suitable wiring of the connector of support plates. Some supports
are furthermore available with an EEPROM memory to store net-
work address and/or other parameters.
Hot swap
: (PSA only) unless validating tickets, F240 validators can
be extracted from supports also when powered. In the same way it
is possible to put them on a powered support. Any eventual recon-
figuration/ updating can take place automatically. These features de-
pends on software implementation.
Warning:
not every validator model carries out on the connector all
the possible signals from the electronics. Validators’ wiring may vary
according customer’s specification.
Contactless subsystem
AEP has entirely developed in its own labs the technologies for con-
tactless smart card processing, creating units which are capable of
processing almost any type of smart card existing on the market;
moreover, the internal design allows AEP to upgrade to any future
requirement simply through software updates.
Thanks to the modularity of the system, all AEP devices share the
same software functions related to contactless smart card process.
Any specific information is reported apart below.
Contactless subsystem is included in /X fitting.
Calypso standard
AEP uses, under Innovatron Company license, the Calypso technol-
ogy which is today, both in Italy and in the world, perhaps the most
widely accepted standard for contactless cards in public transport
area.
An AEP validator was the first in the word to successfully pass the
audit for Calypso 3 registration (see www.calypsotechnology.net).
Technical specifications
Contactless sub system allows to read and write cards according
ISO 14443A & B, ISO 15693, NFC (Near Field Communication), Sony
FELICA etc. For example CD21, Tango, TimeCOS, GTML, CD97,
CT 4002, CTS, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Ultralight, DESfire, MIT
(Maschera Italiana Trasporti) etc.
• Carrier frequency: 13,56 MHz.
• Command set: 7816 3-4.
• RF speed: up to 424 kbps (848 with selected types);
• Security features: anticollision, encrypted communication using
DES and 3-DES algorithms, mutual authentication between vali-
dator and card and between card, reader and validator;
• SAM interface: for 4 ISO 7816 modules.
• Antenna type: digital (F240A); analog (F240B).
Performances
Transaction time
: less than 110 ms. Test conditions: CD-21 card at
424 kbps; testing operations: Select Application / Select SAM / Open
Session / Read Record / Read Record / Update Record / Close Ses-
sion; in time counting are included Calypso SAM operations. More
complex transactions may require more time.
Reading distance
: operating range from 0 to maximum 100 mm
from the antenna, depending on card model (type & manufacturer).
Best performances are obtained with cards provided or approved by
AEP. For other cards, the reading distance depends on the brand and
the model; optimal performance may require reconfiguration and/or
recalibration of the antenna circuit.
Technical specifications
F240/P
CPU:
16-bit microcontroller @ 14,7 MHz with 2K RAM and 60K
FLASH
Operating system:
none
Serial port
: 1 x with software selectable RS-232 or RS-485 interface.
Upgraded configuration:
when upgraded to F240A, F240/P is used
as a slave device of SCBM2 CPU (see below) to control ticket valida-
tion printer, display, LEDs and keyboard; serial port is used inter-
nally.
F240A & F240B
Architecture:
both F240A and F240B use unified SCBM2 CPU com-
mon to many AEP devices that ensures high performances, uniform
and consistent architecture, easy software portability across different
devices and easier maintenance.
CPU:
32-bit processor @ 50 MHz with 8M DRAM, 512K SRAM, 2M
+ 384K FLASH
Operating system:
AEP Mxm 5.0.
Mass storage
: 2G internal SD module for manual data / program
transfer.
All F240 models can be obtained with PSA (industry standard), PSC (legacy) or PSL
(vintage) mounting system.
F240 was designed for maintenance. In few seconds, cover can be removed and internal
frame tilted to gain access to any internal parts.
