Products – Micro RWD EM4102
  Low-cost proximity RFID reader module supporting EM Marin EM4102 and compatible
Manchester read-only transponders/tags (for example: Sokymat Unique tag).

The module is completely housed within a 24-pin DIP package (pin compatible with
other modules) and only requires a 5v supply and a 700 micro-Henry antenna coil to
be a fully featured reader and tag acceptance system.

The RWD module has outstanding RF drive capability and has a read/write range to
ISO card size tags of up to 20cm whilst maintaining reliable communication and high
resilience to EMC corruption. This has been achieved through the RWD continuously
self-tuning to allow for inductive changes in the RF field and extensive software/hardware
filtering.

   

 
The RWD module has a TTL level RS232 interface that allows a host system to send and
receive easy-to-use optimised commands/data (for example: Ascii “R” command to read
tag serial number).

The RWD also has internal EEPROM memory for holding system parameters and lists of
authorised serial numbers,a manual override switch facility and supports direct LED drives
to give visual indication of acceptance. Up to 100ma of drive current is also provided as
an output that can be used to switch external loads.

Different versions are available which use the spare I/O pins to output data as clock/data
signals orWeigand protocol signals (in addition to standard TTL RS232 interface).
