Appendix A Using the Wiegand Interface A A.1. Using the Wiegand Interface Overview The Sirit Wiegand Interface Module (WIM) is a serial (RS-232) to 4-channel Wiegand module designed to interface with the ID4100 UHF RFID reader. Currently, 2 Wiegand channels are used, corresponding to the 2 antennas available on the ID4100. Channel 1 is associated with the Internal antenna. Channel 2 is associated with the External antenna.
Appendix A Using the Wiegand Interface A Wiegand frame consists of a string of bits transmitted in the Wiegand format. Typically, this is 26 bits (including two parity bits). Following the transmission of a Wiegand frame, a hold-off time (Thold) is asserted where the Wiegand interface will not transmit. This mechanism is used to separate adjacent Wiegand frames. The unit, by default, outputs a 26-bit Wiegand frame (24 data bits , 2 parity bits). Data lengths of up-to 128 bits can be accommodated.
Appendix A A.4. Using the Wiegand Interface Mechanical Installation The WIM is housed in a plastic enclosure and should be located in your control panel. Mount the module in a ventilated area on a flat panel and ensure that the module is protected from water and moisture ingress, and is not mounted directly above a heat source. Secure the module in place with two #8 (M4) flat-head type screws. Figure 7 shows the location of the mounting flanges.
Appendix A A.5. Using the Wiegand Interface Electrical Installation Power for the WIM is supplied by the 24 VDC ID4100 reader power supply. The ID4100 serial port is used to communicate with the WIM and is therefore not available for standard serial communications. Connections to the WIM are made via pluggable screw terminal blocks. Figure 8 IDentity 4100 Electrical Connections (Wiegand Interface Module) Refer to Figure 9 for actual Wiegand Module power and RS-232 wiring.
Appendix A Using the Wiegand Interface Wiegand Interface Module Electrical Connections Figure 9 Disconnecting WIM from Serial Port In the event you disconnect the WIM module from the serial port, you need to restart the console service for the reader command line interface (cli). See “Disconnecting the Wiegand Interface Module” later in the is section.
Appendix A Using the Wiegand Interface Connect the Wiegand Outputs Optically-isolated open-collector outputs are provided to meet the requirements of the AC01 Wiegand specification. These are protected by 5V transient voltage-suppression diodes. To connect the Wiegand outputs, perform the following: 1 When using the single Internal antenna of the ID4100, connect CH1 (3 wires) of the WIM to the Wiegand panel. 2 If using the External antenna, connect CH2 (3 wires) of the WIM to the Wiegand panel.
Appendix A A.6. Using the Wiegand Interface Disconnecting the Wiegand Interface Module In the event you wish to disconnect the WIM, perform the following: 1 Remove AC power from the PSU. 2 Disconnect the serial cable from the reader. 3 Restart the console service for the reader command line interface by sending the following command to the reader: com.serial.
Appendix A A.7. Using the Wiegand Interface Using RCT to Configure the Wiegand Interface Module You can use the embedded Reader Configuration Tool to configure the WIM parameters. Perform the following: Open RST 1 From your Windows desktop, select: Start→Programs→Sirit→IDentity4100→Reader Startup Tool (RST) 96 2 Select a specific reader and press Configure. 3 The Reader Configuration Tool (RCT) is displayed.

Appendix A A.8. Using the Wiegand Interface Converting Translation Tables for use with IDentity 4100 If you have translation tables, such as those developed for IDentity MaX readers, these tables can be converted for use with the IDentity 4100 and Wiegand Interface Module. For a Single Translation Table 1 From your Windows desktop, select: Start→Programs→Sirit→IDentity4100→Reader Startup Tool (RST) IDentity 4100 User Guide 2 Press the WTC button under Advanced Tools.
Appendix A Using the Wiegand Interface For Multiple Translation Tables A.9. 1 If you have multiple translation tables to convert, perform the previous procedure for each table. 2 Create a new document using a text editor such as Notepad. This will be the main file used to build the combined translation table. 3 Start another session of the text editor (such as Notepad) to open one of the converted translation tables. 4 Copy the contents and paste them into the main file.
Appendix A A.10. Using the Wiegand Interface Programming the Wiegand Interface The WIM may be configured in hardware to contain two or four Wiegand channels.
