Device Product Group Security Level 3 MCROEM User Manual DPG-00604 ERG Confidential © ERG 2005 Page 7 of 20 Revision 1.0 / 11 October 2005 2 Overview of the MCR The MCROEM Module is an easy-to-use, economical means of introducing contact-less smart card capability into a host. Figure 1 contains a picture of the MCROEM Module. Section 3 provides an overview of the module architecture. Section 4 provides a description of the interface connector and pins. Section 5 provides dimensional details, section 6 describes how the MCR is to be mounted inside the host and Section 7 describes the final tuning procedure. Figure 1: MCROEM Module The MCROEM module is a compact contact-less reader, which enables developers to rapidly add contact-less functionality to new or existing products. Each MCR consists of a Control Board and Antenna Board; this set is tuned and tested at the factory prior to shipment. Each set is shipped with a 100 mm interconnecting cable as shown in Figure 1. The MCR serves as the data communications link between customer smart cards and the host in which the MCR is installed. For MCR-to-Card communications, the Control Board receives data signals from the host. It then transmits the data signals via RF to a smart card held within reading distance of the MCR’s Antenna Board. For Card-to-MCR communications, RF data signals from the smart card are received by the Control Board via the Antenna Board where they are sent to the host via connector 1 located on the Control Board. Figure 2 contains a block diagram that illustrates the MCR mode of operation.

Hence, all interfacing to the device is via the MCR host connector. With the implementation of LCD and I/O, the MCR CPU will, via commands from the host, display text/graphics and operate any I/O implemented via the CPU port pins. In more complex devices with their own LCD and I/O, or devices with no need for these features, these circuit options can be depopulated during manufacturing to reduce costs.
Device Product Group Security Level 3 MCROEM User Manual DPG-00604 ERG Confidential © ERG 2005 Page 9 of 20 Revision 1.0 / 11 October 2005 3 Module architecture The Control Board contains a microprocessor, non-volatile memory, and radio frequency transmitting and receiving circuitry. This board communicates with smart cards via a RF link provided by the Antenna Board, and to the host terminal or integrated product via a RS-422 or RS-232 serial protocol. The Antenna Board consists of a printed circuit board with copper traces forming the transmit and receive antenna. The board is attached to a ferrite plate and a metal back plate that serves as a ground plane. Control of a device LCD and device I/O is achieved via direct access to port pins and the data bus on the CPU. By sending appropriate command instructions via the serial link, the LCD and device I/O can be operated. The module architecture is illustrated in Figure 3. textCommsBuffer CPU RFControllerRFTx and RxCircuitHostConnectorSERIALHOST PORT12VdcFromHostControl Board 70-0700LCDConnector I/OConnectorAntenna Board70-0694 Figure 3: Module Architecture 3.1 Electrical specification 3.2 Host serial communication interface Item Description MCR to Host communication interface Serial RS-232 and RS-422 full duplex.

It is possible to stack the two components into a thickness of 24.5 mm. Figure 5: Typical stacking arrangement 5.1.1 Size The guaranteed Reader volumetric envelope is shown in Figure 6. It is acceptable to mount the MCR in a larger volumetric envelope if space is available. The Control Board and Antenna have the following dimensions: Length (mm) Width (mm) Height (mm) Tolerance (mm) Control Board 104 67 15.5 ± 0.5 Antenna Board 104 67 5.5 ± 0.5 Table 5: Physical Dimensions

The mounting holes are aligned and may be used with screws and plastic spacers to secure the MCR inside the product. The 100 mm cable allows the Control Board and Antenna Board to be separated to accommodate different mounting scenarios. For instance, the boards could be stacked, mounted side by side or mounted on an angle. Spacers between the shield and control pcb, ensure the shield remains fixed to the control pcb, and eliminates shield deformation during assembly into the final device.

Device Product Group Security Level 3 MCROEM User Manual DPG-00604 ERG Confidential © ERG 2005 Page 19 of 20 Revision 1.0 / 11 October 2005 6 Mounting guidelines These guidelines are intended to assist product designers maximise the operation of the MCR in products: • Ensure that any metalwork and/or EMC coatings are at least 15 mm away from the sides of the antenna board in a horizontal plane and more than 5 mm below the vertical plane. Designers should use the maximum possible clearance. • The top of the antenna PCB (non-metallic side) must face towards the card reading surface of the terminal and be less than 5 mm from the top surface. Any increase in this distance will impact the Reader performance, and may result in the product being unable to meet the project’s specifications, particularly the operating distance. • The surface of the target area, which is directly above the Antenna Board, must be a non-metallic surface such as plastic and be free of any metallic particles. • It should be possible to tune the reader using the tuning capacitor shown in Figure 10 while leaving the antenna PCB fixed to the product. The product should ideally be designed to permit re-tuning once the MCR is fitted. • Removal of the shield to mount the MCR in ways not otherwise possible will breach the FCC regulations and void all warranty. • Ensure that the cable interconnecting the Antenna Board to the Control Board is located away from metal surfaces and that the cable is fixed to avoid movement. Any movement may degrade the reader performance, as the cable is an active part of the antenna system. • Ideally, both the control and antenna PCBs should be kept together as a unit. Figure 9: Clearance between antenna and metallic objects.
Device Product Group Security Level 3 MCROEM User Manual DPG-00604 ERG Confidential © ERG 2005 Page 20 of 20 Revision 1.0 / 11 October 2005 7 Antenna Tuning The MCR is tuned at the factory for maximum operating range. It may be necessary to retune the MCR when it is mounted into a host device to compensate for the effects of the mounting environment (such as metallic parts or metallic paint near the antenna) and to ensure optimum performance. For this function, use an active smart card that is initialised for use with the particular host application. 1) With the MCR mounted in its operational environment place the test smart card onto the card reading surface of the terminal. Use a non-metallic spacer with the depth of the desired operating range. For example, if the desired operating range is 50 mm, then place a 50 mm spacer. Ensure that the host and MCR are powered. 2) Verify operational range by running the host internal diagnostic routines. Via the tuning hole in the shield, adjust the tuning by rotating CV1 using a plastic tuning tool to maximise the operating distance. Figure 10: Location of tuning capacitor CV1
