RFID EM18
EM18 RFID reader module is used to read RFID cards that work at 125 kHz.
When an RFID card comes in the range of the reader, the unique data in the card is received by the reader in the form of an RF signal.
The reader then transmits this data in byte form on its serial transmit pin.
This data can be read by a microcontroller using UART communication or can be viewed on the PC terminal.
For more information on the EM18 RFID reader and how to use it, refer to the topic RFID Reader EM18 in the sensors and modules section.
For information on UART in 8051 and how to use it, refer to the topic on UART in 8051 in the 8051 inside section.

8051 RFID Reader Connection Diagram
RFID Interface with 8051
Connect LCD data pins to PORT2 sequentially.
Connect LDC RS pin to P1.5, RW pin to P1.6, and E to P1.7 of the microcontroller.
RFID TX pin connects to the P3.0(RXD) of the microcontroller.
Example
Read the RFID tags using an EM-18 RFID reader and send this data serially to the 8051 microcontroller. Then, display the 12 Byte unique ID on the LCD16x2 display.
Programming Step
Initialize UART communication.
Initialize the LCD16x2 display.
Now, wait for 12-byte to receive and then display it on LCD16x2.
