bibi-R32

Outdoor proximity reader

General device description

The bibi-R32 reader is destined for transponder (proximity cards) readout. It works at 125 kHz frequency and reads Unique type transponders with Manchester coding. The reader cooperates with a bibi system controller (bibi-K12) or another device with RS232 interface, by sending it card numbers.

The reader has a durable and aesthetic casing made of a shock-proof polyamid. All electronic components are flooded in vepuran which makes the reader resistant to atmospheric conditions. That is why it can be used both in- and outdoors. Its small dimensions allow installing it virtually anywhere.

Identifiers

The bibi system uses Unique type transponders. Each transponder of this type has its own 64-bit code, which is sent when the transponder is placed in the field of the reader's antenna.

Transponders can have different shapes and sizes. The size of a transponder depends on the size of the antenna used in it. Different sizes of antennas mean different readout ranges. The most popular are plastic cards and key-ring shaped transponders.

Communication with the controller

A transponder, when placed in the reader's field, repeatedly sends its code. Transmission is realized through a serial port (RS232 COM). The code is transmitted as ASCII codes.

The data sheet contains the descriptoin of how to connect the reader.

Configuring the reader

The bibi-R32 reader can be configured to best match the user's demands. Configuration includes work mode and transmission format.
The proper reader configuration can be specified while ordering, or set up by the user using the bibiCom programme (Windows®98/2000/XP).
