USB ports: All USB-A ports on the cradle provide OTG host functionality. All USB-C ports provide charging only. When the tablet is docked, the tablet's own side USB ports are blocked and cannot be used — all USB connectivity is provided through the cradle cable.
GPIO allocation: In / Out / ADC breakdown per cradle. Example: "4× (2 / 1 / 1)" means 4 total GPIO lines — 2 inputs, 1 output, 1 ADC input.
RS485: Marked with * is provided through the configurable RS232/RS485 USB channel (software-selectable mode).
CAN Bus: CRD880-CAN and CRD880-FULL support 2× CAN Bus channels natively. Any cradle configuration with a USB-A OTG port can add up to 2 CAN Bus channels through the optional EXT-USB-CAN-01 — USB to CAN Bus Adapter Cable, enabling CAN Bus integration on configurations that do not include a native CAN interface.
Shared platforms: CRD865-BAS and BKT865 series are shared with the MDT865 platform. See the MDT865 docking station table for platform-specific interface differences.
BKT865 series: Key-lock retention, designed for fixed permanent installation.
Cable dependency: Interface availability depends on the selected cable kit. The same physical cradle can expose different interfaces through different CAB-xxx cables.
