RFID READER

NSK

Introduction:
The DT125R series RFID Proximity OEM Reader Module has a built-in antenna in minimized form factor.
It is designed to work on the industrystandard carrier frequency of 125 kHz.
This LF reader module with an internal or an external antenna facilitates communication with Read-Only
transponderstype UNIQUE or TK5530 via the air interface. The tag data is sent to the host systems
via thewired communication interface with a protocol selected from the modulepinout.
The LF DT125R module is best suited for applications in Access Control,Time and Attendance, Asset
Management, Handheld Readers,Immobilizers, and other RFID enabled applications.

Features
! Selectable UART or Wigand26
! Plug-and-Play, needs +5V to become a reader
! No repeat reads
! LED/Beeper indicates tag reading operation
! Excellent read performance without an external circuit
! Compact size and cost-effective
! A very efficient module for portable readers.

The LF DT125R reader consists a RF front end interfaced with the baseband processor that
operates with +5V power supply. An antenna is interfaced with the RF front end, and tuned at
125 kHz to detect a tag (transponder) that comes in the vicinity of the reader field.
The data read from the tag by the front end is detected and decoded by the baseband
processor and is then sent to the UART interface.
The DT125R is designed for a reading range of 50 mm to 100 mm.
A LED and a beeper can be interfaced to the pinout to indicate the tag read status.
DT125R has a built-in circuitry for noise reduction.

Data Transmission in ASCII Standard

Data read from the tag is Manchester encoded. The Manchester encoded data is decoded to ASCII standard. Decoded data is sent to the UART serial interface for wired
communication with the host systems.ASCII data format is shown below:

Data Transmission in Wiegand26 Standard

The reader module supports the Wiegand standard that gives the Wiegand encoded
output. This output comprises 3 bytes of data. It will be indicated as low pulse on data
line if it is a Data 1 signal and low pulse on the zero line if it is a Data 0 signal.
Figure 2 shows the pattern of data bits sent by the reader. This timing pattern falls
within the Wiegand guidelines as prescribed by the SIAs Access Control Standard
Protocol for the 26-bit Wiegand Reader Interface (a Pulse Width time between 20 S
and 100 S, and a Pulse Interval time between 200 S and 20 mS).

The Data 1 and Data 0 signals are held at logic high level (above the Voh level) until the
reader is ready to send a data stream. The reader places the data as asynchronous lowgoing (negative) pulses (below the Vol level) on the Data 1 or Data 0 lines to transmit the
data stream to the access control panel (the saw-teeth in Figure 2).
The Data 1 and Data 0 pulses do not overlap or occur simultaneously.
The composition of the open existing industry standard 26- bit Wiegand format contains 8
bits for the facility code field and 16 bits for the ID number field. Mathematically these 8
facility code bits allow a total of 256 (0 to 255) facility codes, while the 16 ID number bits
allow a total of only 65,536 (0 to 65,535) individual IDs within each facility code.

Applications of LF DT125R Series

Applications of the RFID OEM LF DT125R Reader Module are limited by the imagination of the designer because of the compact form factor and low power consumption. Some of the common applications for this module are:
! Access control
! Handheld readers
! Asset management
! Time and Attendance
! Immobilizers
