2. CONTACTLESS READERS: RD710 AND RD852
2.1. Operational desription
Family of contactless readers are composed from two contactless readers: RD710 and
RD852. Both readers are made on the same printed circuit board Peridot 1.3. The main part
of both readers with main microcontroller and all periferial devices (communication
interfaces, connectors, external antena) are the same. Different part is integrated circuit
(reader IC) with cryptology and antenna driver. Both readers support Contactless Smart Card
Interface ISO14443A and ISO14443B standards. Data transmition rate between reader and
contactless card is 106kbit, 212kbit, 424kbit up to 848kbit.
Both readers have the same communication interfaces: one USB serial port, one RS232
serial ports (and additional serial port via MEC6 connector), one RS485 (configurable as half
or full duplex) serial port, one JTAG connector for JTAG interface and one MEC6 connector
for external LPC_COM board (LPC_COM board has included ethernet adapter).
Both contactless readers, RD710 and RD852, are desktop readers and intended for use in
development environment for development purposes – as reference contactless readers for
working with MIFARE contactless cards. The main purpose is to develop new software (or
hardware) for contactless readers based on LPC 1768 microcontroller and MIFARE reader
ICs RC523 and MFRX852.
Contactless readers RD710 and RD852 are connected to personal computer as peripheral
devices via USB serial port. Both devices (RD710 and RD852) are bus powered.The data
transfer between reader and card is carried by 13.56 MHz RF-field. The communication
between reader and smartcard is dependant on the type of smartcard. Both readers suported
various transfer rates specified in ISO standards.
To start working with reader (RD710 or RD852) just plug in into free USB port (on personal
computer) and install the drivers. The reader is ready for the operation.
