13.56MHz Contactless Embedded Module
Designed for embedding into OEM equipment as a component in upper level assemblies, the iCLASS OEM50 Module is a 13.56 MHz contactless smart card reader/writer in an extremely compact printed circuit board form factor.
The OEM50 enables iCLASS technology to be used for multiple applications including cashless vending, biometrics, time and attendance, alarm system control, HVAC control, process control,and point-of-sale terminals.
With only a two-wire serial interface and a regulated power supply, an OEM can have the power of iCLASS at their fingertips.
The OEM50 is designed to operate with a wide variety of antenna configurations. HID offers optional antenna PCBs in 3.15" x 3.15" (80mm x 80mm) and 1.34" x 1.89" (34mm x 48mm) sizes, and also provides a comprehensive antenna design guide for OEMs. Separating the antenna from the module allows the OEM to make the most efficient use of available space, and also allows the module to be installed in a metal enclosure, while the antenna is remotely located behind a non-conductive bezel.
Inputs and outputs are all TTL level logic. Transient suppression, voltage regulation, and output drivers will be provided by the Host device. A User Guide (Part Number 3131-901) provides complete interface specifications.
When used with iCLASS cards, the OEM50 offers security features such as RF data encryption and mutual authentication using 64-bit keys for each application area, and optional DES or Triple DES data encryption for the HID application area. HID provides key management for access control and other data stored in the HID application area.
For access control applications, the OEM50 can read either iCLASS credentials (transmitting the Wiegand formatted data as encoded), MIFARE® Standard, Ultralight, or DESFire credentials (transmitting Wiegand data based on the card serial number in 26, 32, 34, 40, or 56-bit formats). For non-access control applications, the OEM50 module can read or write to any application area on the iCLASS credential, with all reader functions controlled by an external Host processor via the TTL port using the iCLASS Serial Protocol.
The OEM50 has a logic level control output which can be operated by serial commands via the TTL port. This can be used to control external devices or audiovisual indicators with the appropriate driver circuitry.
When the configurable Hold control line is asserted, either all card reading is disabled, or the module will buffer one card read and ignore subsequent reads until the line is released.
