Format Description
Kantech 39 Bit A Kantech Systems of Canada format that uses 39 bits of information with a 8 bit
facility code and 24 bit card number.
Setec 37 Bit A Setec Card Reader format that is similar to the 37 Bit format however overall parity
is used in place of the individual 4 parity bits.
Motorola ABA T2 Motorola Indala produced card readers that were capable of outputting a multiple
format. These generated a format similar to the Track 2 format however the number of
digits generated was based on the card programming data.
Hotel T2 An encrypted format used for the hotel industry and prevents the creation of cards.
The hotel format can be used with MANY key and lock manufactures. The Hotel
Format is not widely used and now slowly being replaced by Smart Card technology.
We recommend that this format is not used and is included for legacy
implementations.
32 Bit A straight 32 bit format consisting of a single card serial number and is typically used
by Mifare reading devices when outputting data. This can also be sent using the 34 Bit
formats.
32 Bit (Rev) Identical to the 32 Bit format above however the data is sent in reverse order from Bit
32 to Bit 0.
WSE 34 Bit Westinghouse Security Electronics format. A 34 bit format based on 16 Digit Family
number and 16 Digit Card Number.
HID 32 Bit HID 32 Bit format has no parity and data is generated as a complete 32 Bit data
block.
First 6 Track 2 The first 6 digits of a track 2 card will be used as the card number and a site code of 0
will be generated.
30 Bit The 30 Bit format consists of 2 14 bit blocks with parity and a 8 digit facility code and
20 digit card number. Not a common format and is typically found on older Smart
Card readers.
37 Bit The 37 bit format is different to the first format and of 1 block of 35 bits of data which
is broken in to a 20 bit card number and 15 bit site code. This is commonly used with
older HID readers.
36 Bit A standard 36 Bit format which consists of 4 8 bit blocks each with a parity bit. This is
commonly used with the Dallas one wire and Kwik Key products.
Rusco 40 Bit A Casi Rusco 40 Bit format used on the smart card readers produced by Casi Rusco
and WSE. The format will output a 24 bit card number and 10 bit site code.
ABA BIN T2 American Banking Association Track 2 magnetic format that uses the BIN (Bank
Identification Number) stored in the first 4 digits as the card number. This format can
be used to allow entry in to Bank ATM Foyers. By putting an access level on the cards
they can also be used to prevent access at certain times and can be used to activate
the lighting in the ATM area when presented.
ABA Card T2 American Banking Association Track 2 magnetic format that uses the data encoded
on a standard 16 digit bank card. The data is hashed and then sent to the controller.
This prevents the data from being reversed to establish the card number. This format
is the same as the ABA T2 format however it strictly requires a 16 Digit Card to be
presented for the format to operate.
NCS 29 Bit An older format that is used by Northern Control Systems and is a 29 Bit Format.
HID 26/34 Bit A dual format consisting of the standard 26 Bit and Standard 34 Bit formats.
HID 34 Bit A standard HID format consisting of a 16 digit site code and a 16 digit card number
with parity calculated on the end two bits.
