Secura Key Smart Readers are designed to work with custom software
applications developed by original equipment manufacturers and systems
integrators. Access control, fuel management, data retrieval and many
other applications are possible. They are available in both Radio Key®
Proximity and e*Tag® Contactless Smart Card Technologies.
Up
to 100 units can be connected via RS-485 to a PC for a host-validated
system. When a card is presented to the reader, that card’s ID number is
sent in ASCII format to the host. The readers have a solid state relay,
plus logic outputs and inputs, allowing access control or process
control without panels or additional hardware.
Radio Key® technology allows card data of up to 40 bits, in
random or sequential numbering formats, and the cards are read-only.
e*Tag® technology also allows the host system to read and
write to the card, and to store data for multiple applications in
addition to access control. The card ID can be up to 64 bits, allowing
for a virtually unlimited number of cards.
An
evaluation kit, complete with demonstration software, is available to
those who would like to explore the product’s capabilities. For software
developers who wish to write an application, an API license is also
available.
