ESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION

RUD-1 is an optional, universal, portable, hardware communication interface (USB/RS485) dedicated to Roger access control devices. It is designed for installers, who use laptops to configure and manage controllers and readers made by Roger. It has small dimensions and can be easily connected to USB port. RUD-1 includes built-in 12VDC/120mA converter, which can be used to supply power to programmed device (controller or reader). RUD-1 also does not require power supply unit as it draws power from USB port.

RUD-1 can be used in following scenarios:

· Communication with RACS 4 system as USB-RS485 converter

· Configuration and management of particular PRxx1 and PRxx2 series controllers by means of PR

Master software

· Configuration and management of PRTxxEM and PRTxxMF series readers by means of RARC software

· Firmware update of PRxx1 and PRxx2 series controllers by means of Roger ISP software

· Firmware update of PRTxxEM and PRTxxMF series readers by means of Roger ISP software

· Third party applications as USB/RS485 or USB/RS232 converter

RUD-1 is compatible with following version of software:

· PR Master v4.3 or newer

· RARC v1.3 or newer

· RogerISP v4.0 or newer

It is recommended to install drivers prior to RUD-1 connection to computer. Drivers are available at www.roger.pl

. Once RUD-1 is connected to USB port new serial port (COM) appears in the system.

Roger applications (PR Master, RARC, Roger IPS) automatically recognize RUD-1 and show its name on the list of available serial ports in brackets e.g. COM4 (RUD-1). All electrical connections should be carried out while interface is unplugged from the USB port. Optionally, the USB A-A cable

(delivered with a package) can be used to extend distance between PC and RUD-1 interface. The maximal distance for USB transmission is 5 meters.

12VDC voltage output

RUD-1 provides 12V DC output in order to supply programmed device (controller, reader). The maximum current for the output equals to 120mA.

Note: User must ensure that the maximum current drawn by RUD-1 is not exceeded, otherwise USB port might be damaged. Always, check documentation for current consumption required for the device supplied from the RUD-1.

RS485 lines

These lines fully support RS485 electrical standard. The data flow control is provided by the internal logic of the RUD-1 using following formula: the RS485 circuit automatically switches to transmit mode when data comes from the PC and returns to receive mode when transmission from PC completes. RUD-1 can be used in Roger system as well as in third party applications as USB/RS485 converter.

Devices, which communicate by means of RS485 standard should have common supply minus

(GND). If particular device is supplied from RUD-1 then such condition is satisfied. Otherwise connect GND terminal of RUD-1 interface with GND terminal of controller/reader.

TXD and RXD lines

These lines are used for serial communication between programmed reader and PC in RS232 standard. RUD-1 can be used in third party applications as USB/RS232 converter but the usefulness of device in particular application must be tested in practice.

RTS and CTS lines

These lines can be optionally used for operation of RUD-1 with RACS4 system and are intended to improve effectiveness of the data flow between PR Master software on the PC and Roger Access

Control System. These lines can improve the transmission if the system consists of at least 15-20 controllers and CPR-32SE network controller.

LED indicator

RUD-1 is equipped with single bicolour LED indicator which may light in green or red. When blinking green it indicates data transmission from the PC, when blinking red it indicates data receiving from the connected system or device.

2.2 Connection of RUD-1 to RACS4 Access Control System

RUD-1 Communication Interface can be used for communication with RACS4 Access Control System in the same way as UT-2USB Communication Interface. In such situation, built-in voltage converter

12VDC/120mA is not used and controllers are supplied from other sources. Connect RUD-1 to

RS485 bus in accordance with fig. 1.

2.3 Connection of RUD-1 to controller (configuration)

RUD-1 Communication Interface can be used for configuration of PRxx1 series and PRxx2 series controllers by means of computer with PR Master software. Built-in converter with 12VDC/120mA output can be used to supply power to particular controller during configuration. If the controller is supplied from other source, then DO NOT connect terminal 1 of RUD-1 to the controller.

2.7 Use of RUD-1 in third party applications

RUD-1 Communication Interface is based on FT232 device made by FTDI. The communication is provided through virtual serial port, which is established during installation of FT232 drivers (FTDI).

RUD-1 can work in two operation modes: RS-485 or RS-232. The mode can be selected by means of CBUS2 and CBUS3 lines of FT232 device:

· RS485: CBUS2=0, CBUS3 = 1

· RS232: CBUS2=0, CBUS3 = 0

The lines should be configured with closed virtual serial port by means of D2XX Direct Drivers – DLL available at FTDI webpage at the location http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm

. It is required to use so called CBUS Bit Bang Mode by means of FT_SetBitMode(0xC0, 0x20) function.

In case of using PRT readers it is necessary to select RS-232 mode (see above) and additionally provide 0 state at reader RTS line.
