3) FYI -The label on end-device shall be permanently affixed and shall be readily visible to the
purchaser at the time of purchase. "Permanently affixed" means that the label is etched, engraved,
stamped, indelibly printed, or otherwise permanently marked on a permanently attached part of the
equipment enclosure or on a nameplate of metal, plastic, or other material fastened to the
equipment by welding, riveting, or a permanent adhesive. The label must be designed to last the
expected lifetime of the equipment in the environment in which the equipment may be operated
and must not be readily detachable.

1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The Brady BDC2000 RFID Assembly consists of a Brady Daughter Card (BDC2000), a
PCB Antenna Board (ANT2000) and a U.FL cable connecting BDC2000 to the
ANT2000 PCB. The diagram below shows the Brady BDC2000 RFID Assembly and its
connection to a host such as a printer’s main control board.

Figure 1. Block Diagram of Brady BDC2000 RFID Assembly and its Connection to a Host
The Brady BDC2000 RFID PCB has a radio module and MCU for control. The radio
module communicates to an HF RFID tag that is located in proximity to the ANT2000
antenna board. The information from the RFID tag can be acquired by the host through
the SPI bus. The host also provides 5VDC and ground to the BDC2000 RFID PCB.

2. Installation
A photo of the Brady BDC2000 RFID Assembly is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. photo of the Brady BDC2000 RFID Assembly
As is shown in the picture, the Brady BDC2000 RFID PCB has four mounting holes at
the corners of the PCB. The holes’ center-to-center distances are 40mm and 70mm
respectively. The holes’ size is 4mm in diameter. These four holes can be used for
mounting the BDC2000 RFID PCB.
The Brady ANT2000 antenna PCB can be mounted with a custom plastic piece. A
cautionary note: The presence of metal in close proximity to the antenna loop will affect
the normal operation of the radio and should be avoided.

2.1 Connections
There are four connectors on the BDC.
• The U.FL connector for connecting a U.FL cable to the antenna board.
• The 6-pin JST B6B-PH-K-S connector for SPI, GND, and 5VDC.
• A separate 2-pin JST B2B-PH-K-S connector for 5VDC and GND.
• A dual row 10-position header (Samtec FTSH-105-01-L-DV) for debugging and
downloading firmware to the BDC2000 RFID PCB.
Note: The usage of the 2-pin connector is optional. If the 5VDC and GND are in the 6-
pin connector, then the 2-pin connector can be left unused.
The signal designations of the connectors are listed in Tables 2 to 4.

The Brady BDC2000 RFID PCB acts as an SPI slave. It reads ISO15693 compliant tags
and converts and transmits the data to the SPI master upon request from the SPI master.
Firmware read out from the BDC2000 RFID PCB is inhibited. Attempting to read out
firmware will result in automatic erasure of flash program memory.
RFID configuration uses hard coded constants. Settings are locked down and are not
configurable.
