EUT Description and operation 2.1. General description: * Note: the customer supplied all information in clause below. The EUT is RFID transceiver on MSC board installed inside material resin cabinet of 3D printer. The cabinet contains two boards and eight antennas. Product’s main functions are read and write data from material container protected by RFID identification tags attached to the resin material container. Its intended use is to identify the type of resin. The RFID unit voltage is 5V (produced from the main 24V). Trough RS-232 interface the RFID MCU (PIC16F876A) gets commands: Number of channel, read or write etc. The RFID signal is generated by the RFID chip (HTRC11001). This RF signal from RFID chip is directed to a MUX chip that switches the RF energy to only one of the four channel antennas at certain time. RS-232 interface connected internally inside a 3D printer. The test was done by simulating all 8 channel antennas from two boards. Transmit frequency: 125 kHz Type of modulation: AM Antenna type: Loop coil mfr. Objet mod. BRD-03012 The RFID and MSC board block diagrams are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The EUT's views are shown in photos below. Figure 1. The RFID unit block-diagram.
