OP-013 Rev. B OP-013 Rev. B IntelliGuard IG-RS2000-1 Overview The IntelliGuard IG-RS2000-1 reader module comprises a fully integrated EPC Gen2-compliant RFID reader system for embedded systems. Based on the Indy R2000 reader chip from Impinj, this provides proven and reliable performance for IntelliGuards Smart Cabinet Inventory Systems. The system-in-

package design allows it to be attached to a PCB using standard printed circuit board (PCB) assembly methodologies, affording high performance with lower system costs. It is easily integrated into IntelliGuards line of smart cabinets for automated inventory tracking and control, requiring only connections to a power source, digital communication with a host, and an antenna. In an embedded system, it allows a complete feature set for EPC Gen2 RFID capability. This document includes interface, functional, performance, mechanical and environmental specifications. Host communication specifications (e.g. firmware upgrade and host interface protocol) and the Impinj Radio Interface (IRI) documentation are used by IntelliGuard to implement the final system solution and are not provided to end users. All operational application development is done by IntelliGuard for IntelliGuards products and utilizes Impinjs suites of development tools, including the Indy ITK Release. IG-RS2000 uses the IRI (Impinj Radio Interface) to communicate with host systems. The ITK (IRI Tool Kit) is used by IntelliGuard to build the host platform.

All calibrations and settings are performed by IntelliGuard personnel for compliance in the intended region of use. There are no end-user controls that alter the behavior and performance of this device. OP-013 Rev. B IntelliGuard IG-RS2000-1 Device Operation IntelliGuards lines of-RFID enabled Smart Cabinets utilize the IG-RS2000-1 in an embedded configuration, controlled by a host Raspberry Pi mini-computer. The software application on the Pi links to the IG-RS2000-1 via its serial UART to the Pis USB. The control protocol is implemented using the Impinj Radio Interface (IRI) in the final system solution. All operational applications are developed using Impinjs suites of development tools, including the Indy IRI Tool Kit (ITK). IG-RS2000-1 uses the IRI to communicate with the host system. The ITK (IRI Tool Kit) is used by IntelliGuard to build the host platform. Further information may be found at www.impinj.com. IntelliGuard provides this link as reference only. In operation, the embedded system interfaces to various sensors which provide input to the User Application to determine when an RFID inventory scan will occur. Specifically, sensors which indicate whether a cabinet door is open or closed, and whether it is locked or unlocked, are monitored by the Application. Following a sequence where access is granted (via a proximity badge reader), the cabinet door is opened and then closed and locked, the IG-RS2000-1 is activated for a brief time to read the RFID tags affixed to the products inside the cabinet. The tags IDs are collected and associated with their specific products. The data are stored in a database for subsequent analysis and reports. The IG-RS2000-1 is ISO18000-63-compliant, and is compliant with the EPC Global and RAIN standards. The complete air-interface protocols may be found on the GS1 website at https://www.gs1.org IntelliGuard Smart Cabinets are available in a variety of sizes and configurations. In each case the IG-

RS2000-1 may be set within regulatory constraints to optimize tag reading ability. Typically, the scanning times are adjusted depending upon the number or tagged items within the cabinet, and may range from 5 seconds to 15 seconds. From a Users perspective minimizing the scanning time is desirable. Secondarily, the RF transmitted power and receiver sensitivity levels may be adjusted, depending on the type and size of the enclosure. The embedded system takes inventory of the cabinet each time the cabinet is accessed. The frequency of access will vary depending on the customers logistics and use, and will typically run between 2 and 5 times per day. Between RFID scans, the IG-RS2000-1 is idle. OP-013 Rev. B IntelliGuard IG-RS2000-1 Device Description The Intelliguard RS-2000-1 module is a self-contained UHF EPC Gen 2 RFID reader. The System-in-

Package (SiP) construction is surface-mountable and is designed to be assembled onto PCB to interface with a host processor, power and ground, and a set of antennas. Additional Inputs and Outputs consist of a serial interface (UART), Status, and Health indicators. In addition to the two surface-mount RF antenna connection, two U.FL connectors are provided. The entire SiP is contained within a metal can for EMI shielding. Figure 1. Module Picture and FCC Label OP-013 Rev. B Figure 2. Basic Connections OP-013 Rev. B Figure 3. SiP Pin-Outs Table 2.
