     8  1.  Introduction 1.1 Description   The Brady BDCi5100 RFID Assembly consists of a qty 1 BDC IP (PCB), qty 2 Media Antennae (PCBs), qty 1 Ribbon Antenna (PCB), Coaxial cables connecting BDC IP to Media (qty 2) and Ribbon (qty1) loop antenna PCBs. The diagram below shows the Brady BDCi5100 RFID Assembly and its connection to a host such as a printer’s main control board.               Figure 1. Block Diagram of Brady BDCi5100 RFID Assembly and its Connection to a Host  The Brady BDCi5100 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 Media and Ribbon loop antenna boards. The information from the RFID tag can be acquired by the host through the USB bus. The host also provides 9~24VDC and ground to the BDCi5100 RFID PCB.

     10  2. Installation  Figure 2. Photo of the Brady BDCi5100 RFID Assembly  Application requirements for installing the BDCi5100 modular approval circuit board assembly into final product.  1. The power supply from the host device must have a voltage output of between  9 to 24 VC and must be capable of supplying 200 mA.  2. The wiring to the 10 pin header (J2) must conform to the published pin       descriptions.  3. The antenna assemblies must be connected to the correct connector positions on  the BDCi5100 circuit  board.  CN1 and CN2 must be connected to the antenna associated with the media sensing.  CN3 must be connected to the antenna associated with the ribbon sensing.  4. Four LEDs are provided for verification of operation :  LED # D13 will illuminate to show that the circuit board assembly is receiving power. LEDs number D6 through D8 display successful  RFID tag detection  D6 is associated with the media antenna connected to CN1 D7 is associated with the media antenna connected to CN2 D8 is associated with the ribbon antenna connected to CN3
     11  These LEDs will dim when an RFID tag is being successfully decoded by BDCi5100 and the respective  antenna.  5. The BDCi5100 circuit board assembly must be mounted in a metallic shield can  which totally encloses the assembly. The board assembly must be mounted into the shield using metal stand-offs between the circuit board assembly and the metal shield can surface to establish a ground connection between the circuit board and the shield can. The use of plastic stand-offs is not acceptable.  6. A  ferrite clamp-on  core  must  be installed over the 10 conductor power/data wire  harness which connects to J2.  The part number for this core is  Kitagawa SFC-8 or Laird # 28A2025-0A.  This core should be located as close to the 10 pin J2 header as possible. The core can  be secured  to the top of the shield  can  lid with double-stick tape.  7. Add required regulatory label(s) to the top of the BDCi5100 shield can assembly.  2.1 Connections   There are four connectors on the BDC.  • The three connectors for connecting co-ax cables to the antenna boards. • The 10-pin JST B10B-PHDSS connector for USB, GND, and 9~24VDC.  The signal designations of the connectors are listed in Tables 2 to 4.  Table 2: CN1, CN2, CN3 Pin Number Signal 1 RF  2 GND  Table 3: JST B10BPHDSS 10-Position Dual Row Pin Number Signal 1 GND  2 USB/DP 3 USB/DN 4 GND 5 USB-B-1 (NC) 6 GND 7 9~24V 8 GND 9 GND 10 3V3 (NC)
     12  3.0 Operation  The Brady BDCi5100 RFID PCB reads ISO15693 compliant tags and converts and transmits the data to the Host upon request from the Host.   Firmware read out from the BDCi5100 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.
