Combi RFID Master MC30RG Lyngsoe Systems 1. General Combi RFID Master MC30RG is a combined unit that can operate completely independent as an RFID Portal that is able to read RFID active tags on 125 kHz/434MHz as well as passive tags on 868/915MHz (see Appendix 1 for active and passive tags examples). After reading, the incorporated Single Board Computer (SBC) can filter the relevant readings and can report them over a wireless GSM / GPRS link to a central database for processing.
Lyngsoe Systems Combi RFID Master MC30RG As it can be seen in the above block diagram and from Figure 3 and Figure 4 below, the MC30RG portal integrates in the same enclosure the following modules and subassemblies: #1. Passive Tags Reader Two +24Vdc Power connectors Two RS485 communication connectors Figure 3 – MC30RG inside view – tray closed #4. 434MHz Receiver RDS23 #2. MBD40 motherboard #5.

Combi RFID Master MC30RG Lyngsoe Systems Figures 6 to 8 show a typical portal installation. Figure 7 Figure 8 4. MC30RG Connections Power Connection WARNING! Before you start the installation, check if the Power Supply provides the specified output voltage: + 24Vdc +/- 10%, and min. 5A for a portal in a fully equipped configuration. A universal power adapter that accepts input voltages from 100V/1.2A to 240V/0.5A is recommended. For the power connections use the 4.
Combi RFID Master MC30RG Lyngsoe Systems 5. Operation 5.1. The Display and the two buttons Display Cooling fans and vents Status LEDs Two Push Buttons The LS4230 portal includes a dual digit display and two push buttons. The display and the buttons are visible as slave devices on the RS485 bus. Some command examples are shown in chapter 5.4 “Remote Control” and are described in more details in the motherboard MBD40 Rev A user manual. The two buttons are useful in troubleshooting.
Combi RFID Master MC30RG Lyngsoe Systems passive tags in range. Few seconds after the motion stops, everything turns OFF. This delay after the motion stops is 5s + the value of the EMD parameter (which is set by default to 0s). C) In the most complex scenario, the “Field” LED does not immediately indicate that an enabling command was sent to the LF and / or the passive tags reader.
