RS232 emulation

The RFID reader/writer PCR310U-10 from Promag is a compact device for contactless data transmission in the frequency range of 13.56 MHz. It is designed for use in systems based on the ISO14443 standard and enables both reading and writing of data to RFID transponders. The device features a USB interface that supports RS232 emulation, making it compatible with a wide range of host systems. Dimensions are 65 mm (width) × 24.7 mm (height) × 100 mm (depth), allowing for compact installation in various application environments. The Proxgina software is included in the delivery scope for controlling and configuring the device.

Applications

The device is suitable for applications in access control, identification, and data transmission in office environments, industrial plants, and facilities requiring secure and fast personnel recognition. It can be used, for example, in conjunction with RFID transponders such as smart cards or NFC tag technologies to verify user identities or manage access rights. Use in personnel management systems, time and attendance control, or logistics processes is also possible.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device supports the ISO14443 standard frequency of 13.56 MHz, which is established for contactless communication with RFID transponders in many industries. The integrated USB interface enables easy connection to computers and other host systems. The RS232 emulation extends compatibility by allowing use in systems originally designed for serial interfaces. The Proxgina software, included in the delivery scope, offers functions for device configuration, transponder data management, and integration into existing software environments.

Technology Explained Simply

The operation is based on electromagnetic induction, where the device generates an electromagnetic field that supplies power to the RFID transponder. This enables the transponder to transmit its data without requiring physical contact with the device. The frequency of 13.56 MHz is internationally standardized and used in many applications such as contactless payment, access control, and identification. The RS232 emulation over USB allows use in systems that do not have native USB support by simulating communication in the format of a serial interface.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is designed for RFID transponders in the 13.56 MHz frequency range and compliant with the ISO14443 standard. It can be used with various transponder types, such as smart cards or NFC tag technologies, provided they meet the specified standards. The Proxgina software supports integration into existing systems and enables device control via a graphical user interface.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting depends on the specific application environment. Due to its compact dimensions, the device can, for example, be placed on a desk or integrated into a console. Connection is via USB, eliminating the need for additional power supplies or network cables. Installation of the Proxgina software is performed on the host system, with the exact procedure detailed in the software documentation.

Advantages in Operation

The combination of compact design, universal compatibility via USB with RS232 emulation, and integrated software solution enables quick and easy integration into existing systems. Contactless data transmission ensures high user-friendliness and reduces wear on mechanical components. The use of the ISO14443 standard ensures broad compatibility with common RFID transponders and systems.
