FeliCa technology compatible Contactless IC Card Reader/Writer is an intelligent, high-performance Reader/Writer unit.
By taking advantage of the contactless technology, the wear and dirt happens on the Reader/Writer is reduced and minimized.
The Reader/Writer can be kept in a manner of high maintainability as a result.
- The Reader /Writer consists of a control board, an antenna and an antenna cable connecting to the control board. The Reader/Writer communicates with the IC card or device after receiving a command from the controller. FeliCa adopts an ISO/IEC18092 compliant communication method. The communication distance between the Reader /Writer and the IC card or device depends on the antenna.
- Higher security is promised by using the ASIC chip that actualizes data processing and functions necessary of an encryption and encoding/decoding circuit on one chip.
- New applications on the controller can be developed using the Reader /Writer commands. A software development kit "SDK for FeliCa"(optional) is available as an application development tool. (for Windows only)
- Sophisticated functions & high-speed processing
Besides command conversion and authentication between a controller and a IC card or a device, and high-speed encryption/decryption of data communication, the Reader/Writer also has a self-diagnosis function. - Flexible system settings
System settings and/or changes can be made in the program, such as the mutual authentication method, authentication keys, data transfer speed with the controller, and ON/OFF of encryption during data transfer. - High-speed communication (424kbps)
It is capable of high speed communications as the RC-S462B/S462C supports double data transfer rate of 424kbps*, in addition to the conventional data transfer rate of 212kbps.
* Available only when the card or device to be used is adaptable to the 424Kbps transfer mode.
