1. Introduction 1. Introduction The TWN4 MultiTech Nano Module is a configurable Reader/Writer of RFID transponders. It provides ports that can be connected to antennas operating at low (125kHz, 134.2kHz) and high (13.56MHz) frequencies. The Module can be accessed via a set of interfaces including USB, I2C, SPI, SAM, CAN, GPIO and COM (x2).
2. Getting Started 2. Getting Started 2.1. Functional Overview The functional layout of the Development Board is shown on Figure 2.1. Main features of the Development Board are: • Ready-to-Use primary interfaces to the USB (8-pin DF11 or Micro USB) and UART (DF11) ports •...
Once the board is connected to a host, a driver must be installed (in case of USB connection). Therefore install the driver included in TWN4 DevPack. When driver installation is finished, a new virtual COM port is available on the PC. Now you can set up a connection to the TWN4 MultiTech Nano using this COM port.
COM port. • Click the button Connect. • Enable the checkbox Cycle. This will make the TWN4 MultiTech Nano (LEGIC 42) search for transponders cyclically. • Optional: use the Select Tag Types drop-down menu to restrict the types of cards that can be detected.
These include Wiegand, RS485/422, CAN and Relais. An LCD Screen is also available to assist with application bring-up. The I/O Extender can be connected to the TWN4 MultiTech Nano Module via the Expansion slot on the Development Board. Please see the I/O Extender Technical Handbook for more information.
