Wiegand to Serial

The Wiegand Converter integrates all standard Wiegand based reader technologies into other applications. The Converter has multiple uses. It serves as a WAVE ID ® card data converter, translating all major Wiegand data outputs to USB, RS-232, RS-485 or TTL. We offer models for Wiegand output from standard proximity and contactless smart card readers as well as FIPS201/TWIC 200 bit CHUID output readers. Provides the computer/terminal/PLC interface when using ID badges for more than door access. The converter output is sent to the serial port either as ASCII characters or through a callable DLL for software developers. Selectable card information can be configured in the converter’s flash memory using free software. Perfect for those requiring WAVE ID® Enroll functionality but require an outdoor reader with longer read range.
