Scope

The HID HF Multi ISO Reader Module supports a broad range of tags compliant with ISO 14443 type A and B standards, including SR176 tags, tags which belong to the NXP MIFARE family, ISO 15693 tags, ISO 18000-3, EPC and UID tags. An open command structure allows the device to communicate with tags that use an operating system. The read/write unit supports ISO 14443-4 layer with automatic chaining, 256 byte buffer and frame length, extended time framing and up to 848kBaud transmission rates over the air interface.

Several protocols are available to enable the reader module to be connected to a variety of equipment. The ASCII protocol facilitates the use of a simple terminal; the Binary protocol provides robust communication more suitable for a dedicated host system. If a host computer is used, then a function library is available, providing function calls rather than low-level ‘byte-bashing’.

For the SAM interface security features and DESFire credential DES encryption, the function library provides access to these features in the Reader Module. The function library is available for Windows CE and XP host applications.

Major applications are:

 Access control, identification using security credentials  Ticketing using standard MIFARE and DESFire credentials

TTL buffer output / input. If user port is used as an output, a 1kΩ (current limiting) series resistor

has to be integrated into the connecting wire, otherwise the reader device can be damaged.

Voltage spikes below GND at the MCLR/VDD pin, including currents greater than 80mA, may cause latch-up. Thus, a series resistor of 50-100 should be used when applying a "low" level to the MCLR/VDD, rather than pulling this pin directly to GND.

If the supply voltage and any noise modulated on the supply voltage remains within the specified limits, no further filtering is required. In some cases it is recommended to use additional filtering for the power supply line. Insufficient power line filtering could cause unexpected or irregular performance drops.

1.4.3 Serial Interface

The OEM Board can be connected directly with a micro controller. Alternatively the OEM Board also can be connected to most serial interface types by using the right interface converter circuit. In order to optimize the communication quality the specific application note of the interface converter circuit needs to be taken into consideration.

1.4.5 SAM Connector/Socket

Note: The power supply to the SAM must be turned off during the entire SAM insertion/withdrawal

period; otherwise damage to the SAM may occur. When using a SAM with the OEM board, it is recommended that a 100nF decoupling capacitor be

fitted between Vcc and GND close to the SAM socket to ensure proper operation. The complete circuit diagram is shown in Figure 8 - SAM Connector.

2 Software

In order to offer the widest possible choice of interface, the MultiISO reader offers both ASCII and Binary serial protocols – see Transmission Protocol, page 19.

EEPROM reg settings, timing parameters and modulation index – listed in Register Set, page 23. These registers are alterable using the register settings are applie

These configuration registers may be altered ‘on-the-fly’ to immediately affect performance by the ‘set configuration flag/register’ commands, but the changes are lost once the reader is powered down, unless also written into the EEPROM registers.

2.1 Transmission Protocol

Two protocol modes are supported, with the default held in the reader EEPROM. As factory default, the ASCII protocol is used, and the default serial configuration is 9600baud, n, 8, 1, with no handshaking.

2.1.1 ASCII Protocol

This protocol is designed for easy handling. The commands may be issued using a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal, and the data is transmitted as ASCII hexadecimal that can be easily displayed on the terminal program.

2.1.2 Binary Protocol

This protocol is designed for industrial applications with synchronization and frame checking. An addressing byte for party line (master/slave, multi-drop) is also included.

The protocol usually requires a device driver. Data is transmitted in binary mode. The reader uses an internal binary watchdog timer to ensure correct framing.

The binary frame version 2 is only sent to the host. It is implemented to give extended information to the host. Version 2 must be enabled in the Protocol configuration 2 register.

2.1.2.2 Station ID

Unique ID of the station 00h: Reserved for the bus master. Readers send response to this device ID. FFh: Broadcast message. All devices will execute the command and send their response.

2.1.2.3 Length

Length defines the length of the data block, including the flag byte, if binary protocol version 2 is activated. If length is set to zero, 256 data bytes are transmitted. The reader module only can send 256 data bytes, but cannot receive commands with 256 bytes.

2.1.2.5 Data

This part contains the command and the data. The command values are the same as in ASCII protocol mode (‘x’, ‘s’, …) whereas data is transmitted in binary mode.

The length of the command block depends on the instruction.

2.1.2.6 Block Check Character (BCC)

The BCC is used to detect transmission errors. The BCC is calculated XOR-ing each byte of the transmission frame excluding the STX/BCC and ETX characters. The flags are part of the data.

2.1.2.7 ETX

End of transmission. (03h)

2.1.2.8 Remarks

If the reader device receives an invalid instruction frame (i.e. wrong BCC) or the requested station ID does not match the internal ID of the reader, the command is not executed. The reader waits for the next valid frame.

2.2 Register Set

The reader has several system registers used for customization purposes. These registers are stored in its non-volatile EEPROM. The reader accepts changes to these settings only during the start-up phase. [See Write EEPROM, page 68]

Some o feature. These are referred to as Flags. [See Set Configuration Flags, page 54]

the system registers are organized such that each of the 8 bits is an on-off selection for a

Clearing all RFU bits

is recommended in order to guarantee compatibility with future releases.

In addition, direct changes to some of these system registers may be made at any time, with immediate effect, but these changes are NOT stored in EEPROM and thus are lost when the reader powers down. [See Set Configuration Fl ags, page 54 and Set Configuration Register page 56] These ‘on-the-

fly’ changes are mapped onto the EEPROM ‘registers’ or memory locations and do

not necessarily carry the same ‘register’ values. The reader can store up to 32 authentication keys internally to login standard MIFARE cards. An

additional 32 keys can be stored for DESFire authentication. All keys are read only and cannot be accessed through the interface lines.

2.2.2 Unique Device ID (00h – 04h)

The unique device ID identifies a reader module. It is factory programmed and cannot be changed.

2.2.3 Station ID (0Ah)

Default = 01h The station ID is used in binary mode to address a device in party line set up. The station ID can

range from 01h to FEh and can be set freely. The value 00h is reserved for the bus master. All readers send their response to this device.

The broadcast message (FFh) forces all readers to response to the command.

2.2.4.3 Multitag (default 0)

The Multitag flag will enable multi-tag recognition in continuous read mode. All tags are detected and displayed. Due to the more complex search algorithm, the continuous read command decreases its detection speed.

2.2.4.4 New Serial Mode (default 0)

If New Serial Mode is set to ‘1’, new serial mode is enabled. A leading character is added to the serial number.

HF Multi ISO RFID Reader User Manual, Firmware V1.4 1508-USM-00-0-04

2.2.4.6 Single Shot (default 0)

If Single Shot is set, the reader displays the serial number of a tag in continuous read mode once within a specified time-out. The time-out is defined at EEPROM register 0Fh.

The delay time can be adjusted stepwise in 100ms steps. 00h indicates no delay and FFh indicates infinite delay.

Note: The delay precision depends on reset off and reset recovery time.

2.2.4.7 Extended Protocol (default 1)

If Extended Protocol is set, the transfer data telegram command supports ISO14443-4 and automatically process the WTX and chaining for smaller frames. This flag has to be set to enable 14443-4 error handling – see Extended Protocol (default 1), page 27.

If sending

ISO 14443-3 co

mmands this flag has to be switched off.

The transfer data telegram command is only supported in normal mode, not in transmit / receive mode.
