  • Page 4: Introduction Overview

    1 Introduction Overview The XT-1 is an UHF RFID reader compliant with EPC Gen 2 (ISO 18000-6C). The reader is specifically tailored for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) applications such as Parking, Gated Communities and Condominiums. It has been designed to provide absolutely premium performance for read-range and environmental specifications while also giving a large number of interface options and having an innovative implementation for TCP/IP connectivity and monitoring.

  • Page 10: Power Supply

    13-111 02, 2014-RO-012, 2014-04-30 Power Supply The XT-1 shall be powered by an isolated power supply suitable for outdoor use. The required voltage is 12 VDC to 24 VDC. It is recommended to use a power supply of 24 VDC, 0.5 A minimum.
  • Page 11: Wiegand/Magstripe

    13-111 02, 2014-RO-012, 2014-04-30 Wiegand/Magstripe The XT-1 has a software configurable Wiegand/Magstripe interface. The interface has 1500 VDC isolation and overvoltage protection. The software functionality is described in §4.2.3.3.2. Using DIP switch S301:6-8 it is possible to activate 1 kΩ pull-up resistors on D0/CLK, D1/DATA and CL/LOAD.

  • Page 13: Ethernet

    1500 VDC. The default IP address of the device is unique among XT-1 readers and can be found on the label on the back of the XT-1. This makes it possible to create a stand-alone network without changing any reader network settings.
  • Page 14: Rs232

    The default output of the RS232 interface is tag data in ASCII format. If SecureMarkID® tags from TagMaster are being used (recommended) the numeric identity is sent out. If other EPC tags are being used the default output is the EPC data. The data is followed by CR+LF ('\r''\n').
  • Page 15: Rs485

    When using RS485 communication, correct termination of the interface should be considered in order to handle transmission-line effects. The XT-1 has a built-in option (DIP S301:3 ON) of 120 Ω termination on the receive side (to be used at each end of the RS485 chain), and an option (DIP S301:4-5 ON) of 620 Ω...
  • Page 16 The default output of the RS485 interface is tag data in ASCII format. If SecureMarkID® tags from TagMaster are being used (recommended) the numeric identity is sent out. If other EPC tags are being used the default output is the EPC data. The data is followed by CR+LF ('\r''\n').
  • Page 17: Inputs

    13-111 02, 2014-RO-012, 2014-04-30 Inputs The XT-1 has 3 software configurable inputs. The inputs are opto-coupled, have 1500 VDC isolation and reverse polarity protection. The inputs are activated by a current flow and the input impedance is 1 kΩ. A schematic view of an input is shown in Figure 18.

    13-111 02, 2014-RO-012, 2014-04-30 5 TAGP Communication Protocol TagMaster Readers can be controlled and monitored using a protocol called TAGP. The TAGP protocol is human readable and can be used over TCP/IP, RS232 and RS485. A terminal emulation program such as PuTTY is all that is required to interact with TAGP.
  • Page 29: Troubleshooting

    To facilitate troubleshooting, consider the following: Make sure that the XT-1 has correct supply voltage and sufficient current. Check the small green LED on the right side of the controller board inside the reader. When the LED is flashing (once per second) the reader is powered and the firmware is running.
