TWN4 Palon is a family of innovative and configurable Reader/Writer for RFID transponders. This addition
to the popular TWN4 line of multi-standard RFID readers is ideally suited for integration into devices
and behind front panels. The module has both low (125kHz, 134.2kHz) and high (13.56MHz) frequency
antennas, allowing the user access to a wide range of RFID standards. With the support of NFC and BLE,
mobile phones can also be used for secure identification. A variety of interfaces are supported, including
USB, RS485, RS232, Wiegand and Clock/Data. An optional OSDP protocol is additionally available. Up
to five RGB LEDs can be freely programmed for optical signaling. Along with that, a SAM slot is provided
for applications with enhanced security requirements.
This technical handbook provides the details needed to get started using the TWN4 Palon - a functional
