It is equipped with a five-volt DC power supply. A power requirement of 2.5 watts is needed when commissioning a device. The existing USB interface can read and write data in Virtual COM Port (VCP) or keyboard emulation (HID) mode. This enables valid and fast integration into all existing Microsoft Windows systems.

The module is equipped with the RFID option HF/NFC: 13.56 MHz. The NFC frequency enables data exchange in near-field environments. The HF/NFC frequency supports the ISO 14443A/B and ISO 15693 standard and accurately reads and writes to MIFARE Classic, Ultralight, Ultralight C, DESFire, Plus, NTAG and NXP transponders.

A software development kit (SDK) and configuration tool for Windows operating systems is also provided, as is an operating system-independent command protocol. Further firmware and hardware adaptations are possible on request and on a project basis, the manufacturer announced.

Application: Access authorization in automation
Different employees are assigned to different automation processes. Each process step must be monitored and controlled by an employee. The access rights for the respective process step must be determined beforehand. The Panel Reader can be used to assign and evaluate this data.

Automation devices are equipped with a type of control panel. The reader can be integrated into existing devices or interfaces. The two pre-drilled holes in the reader module make installation simple and secure.

The data can be transferred in two different ways. All access data can be transferred using the Virtual COM Port mode via USB cable and special commands. The VCP mode provides full read and write access for all supported transponders. In HID mode, user data can be retrieved from the supported transponders as keyboard emulation.

Access rights can be clearly assigned using the Panel Reader. Misuse of the devices and systems is excluded. as
