IPS GROUP INC November 2013 “To meet the host device labelling requirements, any host equipment incorporating the M800 module must include the FCC ID/IC certification number on the host as follows: Contains FCC ID: SGWIPS2010M800 Contains IC: 11583A-IPS2010M800 Contains FCC ID: RI7UE910NA Contains IC: 5131A-5131A-UE910NA” IPS MSCM Overview Module Description This controller module is intended to be used across a number of IPS Multi Space Parking Meter platforms. These platforms include IPS designed multi space parking terminals as well as a number of existing designs that can be upgraded and retrofitted with this IPS technology. Parking terminals equipped with the MSCM may be configured as Pay and Display, Pay by Space, Pay by Plate and other configurations. The MSCM consist of a large LCD display and a controller section enclosed in a protective mechanical housing. The controller PCBA supports a number of integrated features and interfaces to a number of optional peripheral units. 1 MSCM Rear View Top Level Block Diagram Integrated Features and Interfaces  Solar energy harvesting controller.  13.8V battery charger for external 12 VRLA battery.  Low voltage supplies for internal use,  5V, 12V and 24V power supplies for external peripherals.  Three MSP430 Mixed Signal Microcontrollers  4-way key pad diagnostic keypad  Beeper for audible feedback  GSM / CDMA Transceiver module for linkup to IPS servers  C1190 Low Power 315/433/868/915 MHz ISM/SRD bands Transceiver for vehicle sensors, Coin Canister, etc.  TRF7960RHBR 13.56-MHZ RFID Reader System  Graphic LCD with controlled backlight  Secondary low Voltage energy storage for backup and support*  Smart Card Interface  IPS Coin Validator Interface  A 6x6 Keypad matrix for various keypad configurations.  Two RS232 interfaces for Printers, Bank Note Acceptors, etc.  14 pin I/O connector for various sensors  Two 10-way Multi Drop Bus connectors for communication between controller and peripherals such as coin handling units, down light and other controllers. Theory of operation Power Management Solar energy is the standard power source for IPS Multi Space Parking Meters. Electrical energy is derived from high efficiency solar panels. This input energy is converted by the MSCM to levels suitable charging and maintaining an external 12V valve regulated lead acid (VRLA or sealed) battery system which in turn supplies power for internal power backup, internal circuits and external peripherals. Long term power autonomy is achieved by switching systems off when not in use and by storing surplus energy in a high capacity VRLA battery. An average of one hour of …
