The ID CPR60 from Feig is an RFID Reader Module that is designed to support contactless smart cards and transponders. It operates at 13.56 MHz (HF band) and allows integration into terminals, printers, and handheld devices for public transport. The architecture of this RFID reader is based on the well-known IP CPR family from Feig, which makes it compatible with all other CPR devices in terms of functionality and interface protocol. It can be configured to include other standards and protocols such as ISO 18000-3M3 or NFC peer-to-peer (P2P; Passive Initiator Mode). This reader module has a USB interface, a serial interface, and an SPI interface to communicate with the host.
The ID CPR60 offers reading options such as “wake-up-by-card” and “wake-up contact” to wake up the reader with a transponder or tag. It is equipped with interfaces that support up to 4 smart card connectors. This module supports software development kits such as C++, .NET, Java, and Raspberry Pi for reading functions and firmware updates and integrates numerous other SDKs and drivers to support easy integration into the customer application. It has a transmit power of 450 mW and adopts ISOHost Polling mode to communicate with tags and other readers. The reader requires a DC supply of 3.3 V/5 V and consumes less than 300 mA of current. It is available in a package that measures 41.0 x 41.0 x 6.5 mm with 80-pole board-to-board and U.FL connectors.
