USB(HID) to Wiegand converter

Product Description

USB2WG-HID communication convector is designed for USB barcode scanner relative access control system and other solution such as USB RFID reader and USB magnetic reader to Wiegand application; we had widely used in all market of the world. The converter support USB to Wiegand single-way transmission, can transfer data from USB HID device (such as USB barcode scanner) to Wiegand interface (such as access controller Wiegand input interface) as 26bit or Wiegand34bit format(other format for optional), it can output data as ASCII code (8digit or 10digit ASCII code default) and hex as optional.

Technical parameters

Model: WST-USB-WG-H (more detail modes as following)

ASCII (decimal number) output modes (default):

USB-WG-D26 USB to WG 26bit (8 digit decimal numbers)

USB-WG-D34 USB to WG 34bit (10 digit decimal numbers)
Hex output modes (optional):

USB-WG-H26 USB to WG 26bit (3 byte hex number)

USB-WG-H34 USB to WG 34bit (4 byte hex number)

• Size: 75mm x 41mm x 30mm
• Net Weight: about 35g
  Operating voltage: DC 5V (can get power from USB/HID port direct) for USB and DC12V for Wiegand
• Consumption current, not more than 30mA
• Transmit distance between converter and device:
• USB: max 5m
• Wiegand: max 100m
  Compatible with USB HID (Human Interface Device) standards, and based on a passive transfer, that means the converter send Wiegand output only host send data to its USB interface, and once it get once it send out. 
  Operating temperature range: +5 - +40 °С
• Relative humidity at +15 °С: 80%
• Relative humidity at +25 °С: 90%

Communication Format
To transmit data from USB HID device to Wiegand device input interface, support most popular USB barcode scanner (HID type, no need driver for windows), USB RFID card reader, USB magnetic card reader, USB QR scanner, USB hand held reader, USB keyboard, and other USB HID devices, etc. Please note that our converter cannot support all USB device especially USB virtual COM, and any other USB device when it working with Windows and must install USB driver, so before purchase our converter please check your USB device carefully. The simply and fast way to check out the compatibility is connect your USB device such as USB QR scanner to a new computer with pure Windows OS (never install other additional USB driver), if it the windows OS can easy find the USB device easy, so it is a USB HID device, so it can working with this mode of USB to Wiegand converter.

Before testing communication of the device, please check the connection and make sure it is correct, connect USB interface via USB cable to USB HID device, connect Wiegand interface to device have Wiegand input such as the Wiegand interface of access controller, usually D0 to D0, D1 to D1, GND to GND, +12V to power+12V (please check the user manual of USB HID device and Wiegand device for get more details)

Most access controller support WG26bit or WG34bit, but some of them not support both, so in case there have other WG format, please try to check out exact bit format and response to our sales for make special upgrade for suit the application.

WG34bit support max 32 digit data, that is to say 4 byte hex 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF (Decimal number 4,294,967,295), so our converter WG output data range must in 0 to 4,294,967,295, over this range there have mistake to show. This means the barcode number can accept the same range.

The default mode of converter only transfers numbers; all words shall be ignored, for example:

    Barcode read data: "123ABC456", converter transfer only: "123456"

    "ABC123ABC456" converter transfer only: "123456"

    "ABCDEFG123456789" converter transfer only: "123456789"

    "http://domain.com/ticket/ID&-abcdef12345678" converter transfer only: "12345678"

    "A1B2C3D4E5F678G" converter transfer only "12345678"

If you have any special requirement, we can made special order for support your project, so upgrade firmware after get confirm from our sales team.

For optional mode of converter which support hex can be transfer hex, for example, barcode scanner get data 1010795316, the converter output (hex) 3C3F8334

WG26 output (hexadecimal) 3F8334

WG34 output (hexadecimal) 3C3F8334
