Technical Information

Switchable interface between HID mode and virtual COM mode [ICU-800D] 

  • The ICU-800D keyboard input model is ready to use by simply connecting it to a PC!
  • By simply connecting the ICU-800D to an existing employee authentication or point management system, the existing system can be upgraded to an IC card compatible system without any modifications. 

 

HID keyboard input supported [ICU-800D] 

  • Automatic conversion of read data to keyboard input without the need for programme control from the host. 

 

Virtual COM mode, which does not require host control, is also available [ICU-800D].  

  • Data read from the IC card can be automatically sent to the USB virtual COM port.  
  • No command control is required from the host system to instruct the start of reading or to transmit data. 

 

NFC IP-2 (ISO/IEC 21481) compliant  

  • Mifare ISO/IEC 14443 Type A
  • FeliCa (Encryption not supported)
  • ISO/IEC 14443 Type B  
  • ISO/IEC 15693  
  • ICU-800D is read-only. 

 

Up to 32 units can be connected [ICU-800].  

  • The interface is provided as standard and allows daisy chain connection of up to 32 units.  
  • The ICU-800D cannot connect more than two units in an RS485 daisy chain, only one unit can be connected. 

 

SB, RS-485, RS-232C and DIO standard features 

  • In/Out Two DIOs with two points each are built in. 
  • [ICU-800D] Digital output and LEDs on the board can be lit when reading if set in the configuration software. 
  • [ICU-800] External switch inputs and confirmation LEDs can be controlled by the host’s programme control. 

 

Reader section has variable orientation 

  • Vertical/horizontal switchable to suit the application (*Pedestal is optional) 

 

Suitable for device integration  

  • When the table stand is removed, the unit becomes an embedded NFC reader/writer suitable for POS cash registers, payment terminals and point-of-sale terminals.
