- Weight: Light and easy to handle
- Housing: Usually enclosed in a plastic or metal case for durability and protection
Technical Specifications
- Frequency: 125 kHz (EM4100 standard)
- Serial Communication: UART with standard settings (9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity)
- Data Format: Sends the UID of the RFID card as a series of bytes
- Response Time: Typically fast, with data readout in milliseconds
Additional Features
- LED Indicator: Some models include an LED to indicate card detection or read status.
- Mounting Holes: Often equipped with holes for easy mounting on various surfaces.
- Integration Support: Compatible with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
How to Use
- Connections:
-
- Power: Connect the VCC and GND pins to your power supply.
- Serial Communication: Connect TX and RX pins to the corresponding UART pins on your microcontroller or serial interface.
- Setup:
-
- Power On: Ensure that the reader is powered correctly.
- Serial Configuration: Configure your microcontroller or serial interface to match the UART settings of the RFID reader (usually 9600 baud rate).
- Reading Cards:
-
- Card Placement: Place an EM4100 RFID card within the effective range of the reader.
- Data Reception: The reader will transmit the card’s UID via the UART interface.
- Data Handling: Read the UID data on your microcontroller or computer and process it according to your application needs.
- Integration:
-
- Programming: Write code to handle the incoming data from the reader. For example, use Arduino code to read and process the UID.
- Application: Use the UID for access control, identification, or other applications where RFID cards are used.
- Maintenance:
-
- Check Connections: Regularly ensure that all connections are secure and correctly configured.
- Test Functionality: Periodically test the reader to ensure it is accurately reading RFID cards.
- Troubleshooting:
-
- No Response: Verify power supply and connections.
- Incorrect Data: Check UART settings and ensure the card is within range.
The UART EM4100 RFID Card Reader RDM6300 is a versatile and reliable module for reading RFID cards. Its UART interface allows easy integration with various electronics projects, making it suitable for applications such as access control and identification systems.
