RUD-3  is  a  miniature  reader  and  writer  for  13,56MHz  ISO/IEC  14443A  and  Mifare
standard  proximity  transponders.  The  reader  is  supplied  from  serial  USB  port  which  is
also  used  for  communication  with  the  device.  The  RUD-3  can  be  used  as  card  enroll
reader  for  access  control  system  or  any  other  application  which  requires  card  reader.
Card can be enrolled straight from the PR Master (version 4.4.6 or above is required) or
using dedicated

Roger MiniReader

application (version 1.2 or above required). RUD-3 can

also provide a transponder programmer functionality, but in such cases

RARC

software

(1.4 or above required) should be used. Roger company offers SDK programming
package that enables a programmer to develop customized applications for a specific

requirements.

F u n c t i o n a l D e s c r i p t i o n

The RUD-3 can be used in several different scenarios:



as a reader for card enrolling to the

RACS

access system,



as a reader for card enrolling through

Roger MiniReader

application,



as a reader and writer for card programming with

RARC

application,



as a reader and writer used in third party applications using a DLL library provided by

SDK software.

P r o x i m i t y C a r d s

The RUD-3 was designed for ISO/IEC 14443A and Mifare proximity cards. Reader can be
configured for reading of:



CSN (Chip Serial Number)



SSN (Card number kept in specified sector of a card)



MSN (Card number kept in location addressable through MAD sector)

The CSN is returned without check sum. The SSN and MSN numbers are designated by
sector number and block within specified sector. Also, for reading of a sector the
adequate Access Key is required. For MSN number the MAD sector is deliberated using
recommended type A key: A0A1A2A3A4A5. By default, reader uses MAD sector assigned
by MSG organization to Roger company (Roger AID number: 5156). The RUD-3 returns
last seven bytes (56 bits) of the card number. Card number is transmitted starting from
the MSB to LSB (reverse order) or from LSB to MSB (normal order) and if required
supplemented with leading zeros. By default reader uses “reverse order” for CSN number
and “normal order” for MSN and SSN numbers.

Examples:

CSN number (Mifare 1K card, “reverse order”)
LSB
