System Block Diagram
The SATURN Reader is an inexpensive, compact radio frequency communications
electronic interface unit. With bi-directional contact & contactless communication to
smart cards and RS232 communication to local controllers, the SATURN reader is the
key stone in contactless smart card systems.
The SATURN Reader can be integrated into existing systems. Using RS232
serial communication interface between reader and Host, the Saturn allows bi-
directional, full duplex communication between the Host and passive,
contactless smart card.
