2. CONTACTLESS READERS: RD710 AND RD852
2.1. Operational desription
Family of contactless readers are composed from two contactless readers: RD710 and
RD852. Both readers are made on the same printed circuit board Peridot 1.3. The main part
of both readers with main microcontroller and all periferial devices (communication
interfaces, connectors, external antena) are the same. Different part is integrated circuit
(reader IC) with cryptology and antenna driver. Both readers support Contactless Smart Card
Interface ISO14443A and ISO14443B standards. Data transmition rate between reader and
contactless card is 106kbit, 212kbit, 424kbit up to 848kbit.
Both readers have the same communication interfaces: one USB serial port, one RS232
serial ports (and additional serial port via MEC6 connector), one RS485 (configurable as half
or full duplex) serial port, one JTAG connector for JTAG interface and one MEC6 connector
for external LPC_COM board (LPC_COM board has included ethernet adapter).
Both contactless readers, RD710 and RD852, are desktop readers and intended for use in
development environment for development purposes – as reference contactless readers for
working with MIFARE contactless cards. The main purpose is to develop new software (or
hardware) for contactless readers based on LPC 1768 microcontroller and MIFARE reader
ICs RC523 and MFRX852.
Contactless readers RD710 and RD852 are connected to personal computer as peripheral
devices via USB serial port. Both devices (RD710 and RD852) are bus powered.The data
transfer between reader and card is carried by 13.56 MHz RF-field. The communication
between reader and smartcard is dependant on the type of smartcard. Both readers suported
various transfer rates specified in ISO standards.
To start working with reader (RD710 or RD852) just plug in into free USB port (on personal
computer) and install the drivers. The reader is ready for the operation.

4.2. USB type A-B plug cable
Use of USB type A-B plug cable is the default configuration for both readers; RD710 and
RD852. USB type A-B plug cable is delivered with contactless reader to connect reader with
host computer.
This cable is part of the EV710 and EV852 reader KIT (KIT included: contactless reader, CD
with drivers and additional software, USB A-B cable and some contactless cards).
The default configuration uses the USB cable for communication between reader and host as
well as to supply the 5 V supply voltage.
Figure 5: USB type A - B plug cable.
Note: USB 2.0 cable is type A – B plug cable, max. lenght 1.8 m.

5. USER MANUAL
5.1. User manual
Contactless readers RD710 and RD852 are inteded to send and receive data according to
the ISO 14443A and ISO 14443B protocol. Data transfer from reader to/from contactless
cards operates at frequency 13.56 MHz.
At the other side the reader comunicate with host computer via serial interface: USB, RS232,
RS485 or JTAG interface.
Main functions which permit both readers are:
- sending and receiving data to/from contactless cards according ISO 14443A and ISO
14443B protocol.
- Supportting MIFARE contactless memory cards.
- ISO/IEC7816 T=1 compatibility.
- Card reading distance up to 75 mm.
- The data exchange from Reader to the host PC over the host interfaces: USB, RS232
and RS485.
- The data exchange from Reader to the host PC over JTAG IEEE 1149.1 interface.
- The data exchange from Reader to the host PC over Ethernet IEEE802.3 network –
via LPC_COM extension board.
Contactless readers RD710 and RD852 are intended for development use and support large
set of commands. User can write user specific application.
General user instructions:
- Reading/writing is possible only with MIFARE contactless cards.
- Reading device can detect contactless card up to 75 mm from the center reader's
antenna.
- Contactless card identification is possible in electromagnetic field (created from
contactless reader). Nonmetal material have no influence to reading distance or
reading reliability.
- Reading/writing to/from card is very simple: user approaches his contactless card to
reader's antena. Reading device detects card and confirm reading or writing with
sound (beeper) and light (LED) signal.
