X21
The X21 is the embedded full-ports module of the X series — the single embedded 2D window that carries US -style, RS232 and keyboard-class outputs at once, for OEM hosts that cannot pre-negotiate their port until the last integration day.

The cabinet's window answers to three masters.
Verification cabinets and automated dispensers live in multi-host reality: a stock controller, a safety interlock, and a PC that logs the trail — three systems at one window. The X21 answers with its full port set, which is exactly the reason an OEM picks this tier over the single-port variants:
- Three hosts, one window — USB for the log PC, RS232 for the controller, keyboard-class for the legacy interlock: the module brokers them instead of the cabinet choosing.
- Serialized packs at the gate — the 4 mil class reads the serialization DataMatrix on packs at the cabinet's door, closing the verify-on-dispense loop the audit asks for.
- Cabinet OEM economics — one part number covers the cabinet family's port philosophy; the free SDK and the 48h FAE line confirm the hook-up against your controller's protocol.
X21 FAQs
The full port set is the tier's point: the SDK documents the concurrent-use pattern for the host pairings, and the 48h FAE line verifies your controller + PC combination before the cabinet ships.
Module-side logging is host-driven through the SDK routine; the cabinet's PC handles the permanent trail and the timestamping policy your pharmacy follows.
Keyboard-class output suits legacy interlocks; the SDK demo shows the wiring, and the FAE team confirms your interlock's expectations in the first design review call.
