4.6 RFID Reader
The NEO "Fast Track" RFID Reader (CKP P/N 10079516) is installed in NEO RF/RFID
Dual system. These are not officially released but can be considered released for beta
installation (i.e. the hardware can be installed for test; beta systems are always labeled
"Not for sale"). The RFID Reader is part of the Lower Bay "Cage" assembly. There is
RG-316 coaxial cable pre-wiring for 2 RFID Antenna Arrays (2 Patch per array) which
are part of the main sub-assembly. The hardware wiring is considered Active/Passive.
The RF/RFID system hardware includes an I/O interface board for cabling between
adjacent pedestals. Each pedestal's active side must be facing the neighboring pedestal's
passive side. This is the standard RFID hardware layout requiring in-floor cabling.
4.7 Remaining Hardware
4.7.1 Matching Board
An important part of the antenna in the RF Circuit is the antenna impedance matching board or "coupler
board" for short. The FS Technician should never have to inspect/repair a coupler board, because they are
Factory-Installed and Ready "As Manufactured." On the NEO Coupler boards, there is no tuning (no PCB
Jumpers, which is different from Evolve).
4.7.2 GPIO Module
NEO also features a simple I/O board which two (2) of the Quick Connect Cables are pre-installed into from
the factory. The Quick Start guide offers complete pin-out tables and basic software setup instructions.
The available interfaces are defined below.
GPO J6
This RJ-45 port is for triggering external devices.
There are Relay NO/NC contact pairs, which must be enabled using DMS.
2 unique relays are present (2 available in hardware/software).
GPI J8
This RJ-45 port is for accepting input signals.
There are 4 inputs which can be "mapped" to various events (advanced setup required).
CPiD-RF J5
There is also a CPiD-RF Serial Data interface available (opening the system is required); the ferrite core in the
installation kit shall be used on the Cat 5e / Cat 6 or better cable, if installed, to the J5 serial port.
The NEO Installation Manual describes the hard-wired connection which is used to integrate CPiD-RF
Deactivator (or deactivator chain using the CPiD Communications Module or "CAM").
4.7.3 Quick Connect Cables
See section 3.0
above (cables are identified and their functionality is described).
In the installation process, the cable interfaces and cables are joined before the mounting process.
