ICIA SmartRFID – Dual-Frequency RFID Card Reader Module
ICIA SmartRFID – Dual-Frequency RFID Card Reader Module
Product Overview
The ICIA SmartRFID is a compact, high-performance RFID card reader module designed for industrial and commercial automation systems.
It integrates an advanced RF circuit and antenna into a single unit, supporting both EM (125 kHz) and Mifare (13.56 MHz) cards simultaneously.
The module provides multiple communication interfaces — UART, RS232, USB, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi — for seamless integration with controllers, IoT devices, and access systems.
Its industrial-grade design ensures reliable performance under harsh operating conditions, making it ideal for factory automation, IoT gateways, access control, and smart terminal applications.
Key Features
- Dual-Frequency Operation: Supports both 125 kHz (EM) and 13.56 MHz (Mifare ISO14443A) cards simultaneously.
- Multi-Interface Communication: UART, RS232, USB, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi interfaces for universal device compatibility.
- Integrated Antenna Design: Compact PCB with built-in high-efficiency antenna for stable and reliable reading distance.
- Extended Read Range: Reads Mifare S50 / S70 / FM1208 cards up to > 5 cm (depending on card type and environment).
- Low Power Consumption: Typical operating current of 40 mA at 5 V DC.
- Industrial Reliability: Operates reliably between –20 °C to +70 °C, with robust EMC/EMI protection.
- Compact Size: Small footprint suitable for OEM integration into panels, terminals, and embedded systems.
- Flexible Integration: Drop-in replacement for existing serial or Wiegand-based RFID modules.
- Plug-and-Play Operation: Uses standard UART communication for easy integration with MCUs, PLCs, and IoT gateways.
