TWN4 Palon Compact

TWN4 Palon Compact

Compact OEM RFID reader/writer for LF, HF, NFC and BLE with extended interfaces

The TWN4 Palon Compact is a versatile OEM PCB for integration into third-party products and devices. It supports enhanced interfaces, especially RS-485. The new compact PCB module inherits all advantages and integrated tool support of the ELATEC TWN4 family. Although it is a general-purpose device, it is optimized for time attendance and access control.

TWN4 Palon Compact is a multi-technology reader/writer family supporting almost all 125 kHz / 134.2 kHz and 13.56 MHz contactless technologies, including NFC. RS-485, RS-232, Wiegand, Clock/Data and USB are standard interfaces. Optionally, OSDP protocol is supported.

On-board antennas for HF and LF allow excellent contactless performance. An integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module supports a broad range of mobile ID and authentication solutions as well.
