1. Application and Operation principles
RFID-reader ADM20 (see the picture 1) is used for installation on moving and stationary
objects and identification of objects by means of radiosignals as well as attendance recording. It
might be used within close and remote identification subsystems.
Close identification subsystem allows to the RFID-reader to accept data from cards and
keychains (Mifare, Em Marin) at the distance of 1-5 cm. Remote identification subsystem allows to
accept data from autonomous tags ADM21 (see the picture 2) at the distance up to 100 m.
In this way, the Radio Frequency Identification system for objects based on the RFID-reader
ADM20 might be used for fixing issues related to staff's and extra equipment identification,
attendance recording, towed vehicles control, materials write-off, engine start management, vehicles
identification on weighing units, arranging an authorized passage of vehicles within companies'
facilities, recording vehicles'attendance to checkpoints, handling passanger and freight carrages,
etc.
The Radio Frequency Identification system might be used both within a monitoring unit or
independently. When using the system within a monitoring unit, the data received from the tags and
cards are transmitted to the subscriber's telematic terminal via RS-485 interface.

3. System design and operation based on RFID-reader
ADM20
During its work the telematic terminal interrogates the RFID-reader ADM20. If there are active
tags ADM21 within its range, the reader transmits their identification numbers to the terminal. At the
same time, RFID-cards applicated to the reader are being read in the range of 13,56 MHz and 125
kHz. Then the telematic terminal uploads data onto telematic server.

4.3 RFID-reader ADM20 setting
Connect RFID-reader ADM20 to the computer with the convertor RS-485/USB. During setting
only one reader ADM20 should be connected on the RS-485 bus.

Neomatica LLC. RFID-reader ADM20. Ed. .1.1 dd 15.08.2019
Install and launch the “RFID Configuration” program (might be downloaded from the web-site
http://neomatica.ru).
After detecting ADM20, the program will display its serial number, firmware version and
address. The configurator allows changing the reader's network address and three subnets, which
will be questionned by the reader when searching for ADM21 tags. If all three subnets are installed
as “0”, the reader will accept data from all subnets tags.
5. Using the RFID-reader ADM20 together with the
АDM100/ADM300/ADM700 trackers
Connect the reader ADM20 to the terminal's RS-485 bus. Reader-telematic terminal
coordination is performed on the terminal's side by sending respective commands or in
AdmConfigurator's graphical interface whose version is not below 2.1.
5.1 Operation modes description
The RFID-reader ADM20 might be set for working in the following modes: Mode 0 - “RFID
card periodic check”, Mode 1 - “Guaranteed RFID card sending” and Mode 2 - “Radiotags ADM21”.
5.1.1 Mode 0: “RFID card periodic check”
When setting this mode, the terminal is questionning regularly (every 10 sec) the RFID-reader.
The card number is transmitted in an ordinary packet if available at the moment of the last
interrogation performed by the reader.
Parameters set for this mode:
•number of the analogue input whose data will be replaced by the card number,
•number of the terminal output, which will change its state when detecting the card.
5.1.2 Mode 1: “Guaranteed RFID-card sending”
In this mode devices work according to the following algorithm. When detecting a card by the
RFID-reader, the card is recorded in its memory. The card number remains in the RFID-reader
memory until the data are received by the terminal, and then it is removed. The terminal questions
the RFID-reader with the pre-set frequency (every 5 sec by default), and if it detects the card number
in its memory, an extraordinary sending with the card number is formed for the server.
Parameters set for this mode:
•terminal's interrogation frequency by the reader,
•number of the analogue input whose data will be replaced by the card number,
•output number of the terminal, which will change its state when detecting the card.

Neomatica LLC. RFID-reader ADM20. Ed. .1.1 dd 15.08.2019
5.1.3. Mode 2: “Radiotags ADM21”
In this mode when RFID-reader detects ADM21 tags, the tag is recorded in its memory, and
after receiving data by the terminal, it is removed.
Parameters set for this mode:
•number of the analogue input whose data will be replaced by the tags numbers.
This mode might be used together with the modes 0 or 1.
5.2 Operation mode setting
The reader number and necessary operation modes are installed with the «ADM20 X,Y,Z»
command.
X – installs the reader's number. Values from 0 to 4 are possible. The maximum quantity of
readers connected to one terminal, might be 5 pieces.
Y – the reader's address on the RS-485 bus. The real address for the reader should be
indicated.
Z – installs active operation modes. Select the convenient Z-parameter value according to
the table and operation modes description.

5.3 Operation mode setting
Extra parameters are installed with the «ADM20MODE» command: parameter Y – for the
selected operation mode, parameter X – for the indicated reader. When it is necessary to set several
operation modes or RFID-readers ADM20, send the command as many times as needed indicating
the reader's number and mode, which should be set.
ADM20MODE X,Y,Z,A,B
X – number of the reader set (installed by the command ADM20).
Y – number of the mode set (might be seen in the section 5.1 “Operation modes description”).
Z – card check frequency (is set only for the mode 1).
A – number of the analogue input whose data will be replaced by the card number.

Neomatica LLC. RFID-reader ADM20. Ed. .1.1 dd 15.08.2019
B – discrete output number. The selected discrete output of the terminal is connected to the
ground when the card is not available, and when the card is detected, it is not linked to anything (not
settable for the mode 2).
In case if in the selected mode a parameter cannot be set, its value should be, however,
indicated when entering the command (it will be disregarded). It is permissible to write any arbitrary
figure, for example, “1”. In response to the command, these values will be replaced by «n/a».
To transmit the card number, it is necessary to enable “Analogue inputs” data block
transmission.
5.3.1 Installation of the terminal's discrete output when detecting the card
The terminal's discrete output state when there is no card in the reader ADM20 as well as its
state when the card is detected, are installed by the «ADM20OUTMODE» command.
ADM20OUTMODE X,Y
X – reader's number
Y – output state when detecting the card
Y=0 - when there's no card, the output is connected to the ground, when the card is detected,
the output is deactivated.
X=1 - when there is no card, the output is deactivated, when there is the card, the output is
connected to the ground.

6. Using the RFID-reader ADM20 together with trackers of other
manufacturers
ADM20 may be utilized as a periphery device with other GPS trackers. To be compatible with
ADM20, a tracker should be equipped with RS-485 digital interface and support LLS exchange
protocol. Thus, the reader will be counted as a fuel level sensors and should be configured with a
respective network address for the correct functioning of request - response logic. In this case, it will
be possible to receive ADM21 RFID-tag information, that will occupy one of the “fuel level” fields.

Neomatica LLC. RFID-reader ADM20. Ed. .1.1 dd 15.08.2019
The data of RFID-cards may be transferred only in case of full integration of the tracker and the
reader have been conducted.
