Operational Description

The SmartSYNCTM RFID module is designed to be installed and used in
Hypertherm branded torches.

The SmartSYNC™ RFID module (NFC 13.56MHz RFID transceiver module) is
powered by 12-18Vdc from the host device. The contact-less reader is using low
power RF transmission for proximity reading range. OOK modulation is transmitted
through the coil antenna to read a tag. The RFID protocol includes data encryption.

The data from the host device is written to a tag when a write command is issued
over the proprietary encrypted serial protocol. Data is read from the host device is
read from a tag when a read command is issued over the proprietary encrypted
serial protocol.
