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.
