A key differentiator of this ACS RFID reader module is the integrated ISO 7816–compliant SAM slot, which enables an exceptionally high level of security for contactless transactions. By using a Secure Access Module, cryptographic keys can be managed securely and sensitive processes such as authentication, encryption, or digital signatures can be reliably protected. This makes the ACS NFC reader module an ideal choice for security-critical applications in areas such as e-payment, e-government, access control, or network security. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, the module can be easily integrated into existing embedded architectures, while the integrated antenna and a stable card reading distance of up to 70 mm ensure reliable operation even in demanding environments.

From a technological perspective, the HF RFID reader module stands out due to its high performance and flexible interface architecture. The ACM1552D-C7 supports both USB and serial RS-232 communication, offering maximum freedom in system integration. With data rates of up to 848 kbit/s for ISO 14443 cards and 26 kbit/s for ISO 15693 transponders, the module is ideally suited for applications with high transaction volumes and short response times. In addition, the NFC reader module supports multiple operating modes, including classic reader/writer mode, card emulation mode, and when using the USB interface, keyboard emulation. This versatility allows the module to be used in both closed embedded systems and PC-based applications without the need for additional hardware components.
