1. Introduction

The ACS Smart Card Reader/Writer ACR30 is an interface for the communication between a

computer (for example, a PC) and a smart card. Different types of smart cards have different

commands and different communication protocols. This prevents in most cases the direct

communication between a smart card and a computer. The ACR30 Reader/Writer establishes

a uniform interface from the computer to the smart card for a wide variety of cards. By taking

care of the card specific particulars, it releases the computer software programmer of getting

involved with the technical details of the smart card operation, which are in many cases not

relevant for the implementation of a smart card system.

The ACR30 Smart Card Reader/Writer is connected to the computer through a serial

asynchronous interface (RS-232) or USB interface. The reader accepts commands from the

computer, carries out the specified function at the smart card and returns the requested data

or status information.

The ACR30 is a compact, very cost-effective, single chip reader which supports all MCU-

based cards with T=0 or T=1 protocols as well as the popular memory cards in the market

today. It is ISO 7816-1/2/3 compliant, EMV and Microsoft PC/SC certified, and supports all

major PC platforms.

Being a single-chip solution, this reader is one of the most cost-effective solutions for e-

commerce, information security, access control, identification, and other smart card

applications. It is available in two types of interface: ACR30S and ACR30U. The ACR30 is

also available in two types of casing, the original Piano casing and the new CyberFrog casing.

Like the ACR20, the ACR30 is also supplied in module form (ACM30). This is an ideal

solution for easily integrating smart card access into any application. The module retains the

full functionalities of the reader/writer, and can be easily integrated in payphones, parking

meters, vending machines, laundries, gaming machines, ATM's, sophisticated access control

systems, and more.
