WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

The controller poses no hazard to the user of such equipment if installed correctly. The controller is powered by 110 or

220/240 VAC and should therefore always be kept locked with the transformer plate screwed into place. Both fuses on the board are rated at 2 amps and should never be exceeded. All supply voltages, environmental specifications, as well as general specifications should be considered when installing the controller.

In installations where the equipment effects control, potential hazards may occur, depending on the item being controlled. Correct system design and implementation should eliminate such hazards, e.g. installing detection loops under barrier arms.

APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

All information regarding the CR355 controller is included in this document. The PC SW manuals are available for information on the LAN systems.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The card reader controller (CRC) is microprocessor-based equipment designed to execute control of one or two doors, barriers, turnstiles etc. Control of these doors could be via card readers (MAG, prox, touch, infra red, barcode or Wiegand), PIN-pads or push buttons (egress). The controller can be used as a stand-alone unit or in an “on-line” PC based LAN system.

The controller has 16 supervised inputs that can be used to monitor potential free contacts (in PC based option), or be set as special function access related inputs.

4 relay and 8 open collector outputs are configured as special function access related outputs or as auxiliary outputs controlled on time and/or by the PC.

The set-up is set and can be viewed with a hand programmer that is plugged in to the controller. In on-line systems, the PC can change the set-up.

An integrated UPS option of the CR355 is available.

The controller can be set to function in modes as described below. The

CR355

and

CR355A

mode differ only in time groups.

CR355

has 15 Access time groups, 15 input time groups, 15 output groups and a time group for each reader and PIN required and each door open time group.

CR355A

has 60 time groups (8 time zones per 15 groups) with selection of any time group for any of the functions – Access, reader, PIN, latch, input and output.

Note that for CR355A, db2 is limited to 32000 cards.

PC translator type

is set as CR355 or CR355A respectively.

The controller can be set to function as a

CR351/2/4

controller (previous Softcon access controller), with dedicated special function inputs and outputs, 4 auxiliary inputs and 1 auxiliary output. CR372 and CR374 cannot be connected in this mode. The CR374 is used only as a hand programmer. One EPROM exists for CR351/2/3/4

(included CR355, CR355A), selection is via hand programmer and is stored in EEPROM.

By changing EPROMs on the controller, the CR355 can be used as a

vending controller

and a

cash loader

. The cash and vending modes only function on-line with the PC. In these modes, the CR374 is used as a display. One

EPROM exists for Cash loader, another for Vending.

The

Cash loader

functions as follows: Reading card displays the holder’s name and value. While the name is displayed, a note reader is enabled and notes read are added to the cardholder’s value.

PC translator type

is set as Cash.

Two vend modes are selectable via hand programmer (stored in EEPROM):

Key vend

requires a key (1 to 9) to be selected on the keypad. If not proceeded by a card read, the charge for the item is displayed. A card read displays the cardholders name and available funds and if a key is selected while the name is displayed – a vend request is sent to the PC. Should the cardholder have sufficient funds for the vend request, the latch is activated and the selected items value is deducted from the holders remaining value.

PC translator type

is set as Vender.

Access vend:

On reading a card read, an access request is sent to the PC (reader 1 is key 1 and reader 2 is key

2) and if the cardholder has sufficient funds for the selection, the appropriate latch contact is activated. On action complete (or immediately if no action complete is set), vended is reported and the value for item 1 or 2 is deducted from the holders remaining value.

PC translator type

is set as Access vend.

Should it be required that the holders funds be displayed after the vend has been completed, an appropriate event can be set on the PC (see vending help file).

5.2.1 Design and construction

Materials

. Housing is a white powder coated metal enclosure. PCB is 1.6mm fibreglass.

Radiation

. Radiation falls within the EU and UL requirements and causes no detrimental effect to the surroundings (requires correct earthing). See protection.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 7 of 62

Identification and markings

. Each PCB has a recorded unique serial number in permanent ink and has a

PCB version number in white paint – B63x, where B63 indicates CR355 and x is a version number (0 to 9 or

A to Z).

Interchange ability

. PCBs are interchangeable. EPROMs are changed for vending and cash-loader options and for certain serial peripherals.

Power supply protection is limited to a mains line filter (Varistor, inductor and capacitor network), with a transzorb on the secondary winding. The LAN lines are protected with transzorb. The reader data is optocoupled. Additional protection must be provided externally where required.

Reader supplies (pin 1 and 4 on the reader connector) that are short-circuit result in the PCBs fuse blowing, opening MAG latches. PCBs before version 637 have no protection on reader supply and if required, links E3 and E4 must be replaced with 100 ohm, 0.5 W resistor – ONLY ON 12V (5V require 50 ohm 1W). PCBs version 637 or later have supply link with resistor on-board.

All reader inputs have serial 100 ohm protection resistors. MAG and Wiegand Reader inputs are protected via opto-couplers. Touch readers have no protection and require additional protections (see Softcon touch readers).

Inputs have no protection other than an RC network for noise (only while input selected to multiplexer. Noisy inputs (e.g. MAG lock sense) require serial 1k ohm on the ground connection and serial 2k2 ohm in the input.

5.2.3 Power supplies

The controller requires a “clean” power supply. Two version of CRC are manufactured, a 110VAC and a

220VAC version (transformers wired differently). The specification calls for 110 or 220 volt AC with a tolerance of plus minus 10%. In installations where the power supply fluctuates regularly or dips below 100 or

200 volts AC an external UPS should be installed.

Connecting the CRC to the same remote mains power supply as a motor and control operating a boom or a roller shutter door, could cause problems because of the excessive mains variations as the motor switched

“on” and “off”. Mains UPS or DC UPS (nominally 12VDC to 20VDC) can be utilized. The CRC is available with an integrated UPS option.

A “clean power supply” is generally available in buildings for computers. The CRC should be connected to that supply.

Signal ground must be isolated from earth, i.e. no links between ground and earth (the housing is earthed).

Supplying DC to a CRC via long cables should be avoided and additional capacitance is generally required at the CRC when supplying DC.

The CRC generates a supply for loads (latches) and is a maximum supply of 14,2 VDC or 13,5 VAC (true

RMS) at 2A.

These voltages assume that the primary winding connections of the transformer matches the supply, i.e.

110V or 220V. The 14,2 VDC is not regulated and is the 13,5VAC that has been rectified and smoothed.

External supplies should be used if the requirements exceed these values. The relay contacts are rated at 3A

30VDC and 3A 250VAC.

The external 110/220VAC supply is fed though a line filter (reducing noise from and to the mains supply) to the transformer installed in the CRC housing. UPS mains supply is mounted externally or contained in the housing (UPS option).

Installations requiring DC main supplies, or latch/reader supplies not generated by the CRC must be installed externally. External DC supplies could be mounted in a matching CRC housing. DC supplies must be mounted in close proximity to the CRC, alternatively, suitable cables and voltages must be used.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 8 of 62

When using mains supply (110/220VAC), the supply is connected to the “kettle” socket on the enclosure, with earth tied to the centre terminal and live and neutral to the outer terminals. When using mains UPS, it is connected to the same terminals.

5.2.4 External battery backup unit

Disconnect live and neutral cables from the “mains” connector.

Disconnect the secondary from the transformer to the PCB (terminals 4, 5, 6 and 7).

Link terminals 4 and 6. Connect 12 volt + from battery backup unit to linked terminals 4 and 6.

Link terminals 5 and 7. Connect 12 volt - from battery backup unit to linked terminals 5 and 7.

Note that earth must remain connected via the mains connector or be connected to the earth terminal block provided in the housing.

5.2.5 Integrated UPS

A version of the CR355 controller has an integrated uninterrupted supply (UPS), with a 7 AH battery. This powers the CRC, readers and latches (only DC latches). The period that the CRC can be powered depends on the power consumption of the readers and latches and how often the latches are energized. The controller draws 800mA, proximity readers typically require 100mA each, and if the latch is not energized, the controller and readers can be sustained for 5 hours. Mains monitor relay on charger.

5.2.6 Communication

Communication with the controller via the serial port is RS232 (in terminal test mode, in modem applications or when in PC mode - connecting directly to PC COM) or RS485 (in LAN applications or when connected to

HH programmer). Baud rate is generally 9600, one stop bit, 9 data bits (for LAN applications) or 8 bits

(modem, PC or test), with no parity. Note that using the controller in 8 bit LAN mode requires the PC setting for comms type. On a LAN, all controllers must have the same baud and bit settings (that match that of the

MUX card. The baud rate can be set via HH programmer in versions after 1.23, or in earlier version by editing the byte in EPROM at 0FFFFH as follows can change the baud rate:

19200 = FDH

2400 = E8H (default for modem)

9600 = FAH (default for LAN)

1200 = D0H

4800 = F4H

In LAN applications, the communications is polled, with the Mux acting as the master and the controllers as slaves, i.e. the mux polls each controller for data. The data is sent in packages not exceeding 17 bytes, which includes address (matched to the address set in the NOVRAM with the hand programmer) the length byte and a checksum. Data not passing the checksum is re-sent. 3 consecutive failures result in the controller being set as off-line and a reconnect in communications is retried every 5 minutes. In modem applications, the PC dials the controller - presently the controller does not call the PC.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 9 of 62

Communication with the readers is data/clock, Wiegand dual line, single line Dallas (touch) or serial

RS232/RS485. Currently the serial baud rate is fixed at 2400 baud, no parity, 8 bits. Reader 1 serial automatically changes between reader/serial comms and HH programmer comms mode according to the HH link and front processor setting (is link in or front processor 0 or 1 is set to 1). If LAN type is set to HH, reader

1 comms defaults to serial reader. As serial readers are connected to the reader serial ports, front modules

CR372 and CR374 cannot be used (hence no LCD or PIN). Should a serial reader 1 and the HH programmer be required at the same time, the HH must be moved to the main serial port. See jumpers below for serial

HW options. Restart the controller after removing the HH.

By setting the Echo card number option, card entered events are sent as an ASCII sting to the serial R2 port at 2400 baud, 8 bit, no parity (TX on pin 8 of P2[10], GND pin 4 of P2[10]). The string format is fixed at 17 characters: “nnn r 1234567890” where nnn if the node address (1 to 250), followed by a space character, r is reader number 1 or 2, followed by a space character, followed by 10 characters are card number, most significant digit first (filled with zeros). The termination character is CR (0DH).

When requiring R1 serial to be RS485 (e.g. HH programmer), IC1 (RS485 driver) must be installed and IC7

(RS232 driver) must be removed – or pins 7 and 9 of IC7 must not be in the IC socket (IC7 installed for

RS232 R2). For RS232, remove IC1 and links E6 and E7 and install IC 7.

When requiring R2 serial to be RS485, IC4 (RS485 driver) must be installed and IC7 (RS232 driver) must be removed – or pins 12 and 14 of IC7 must not be in the IC socket (IC7 installed for RS232 R1). For RS232, remove IC4 and links E8 and E9 and install IC 7.

5.2.7 Memory

On-board memory is fixed at 128k byte RAM and 64k byte EPROM. RAM allows for up to 64 000 card database (depending on database type) and a 950 or 2900 transaction buffer. Set-up parameters are kept in

Electrically Erasable (EE) or Battery Backup (BB) memory and the card database is kept in BB. On power-up the BB memory is checked for a specific pattern and if incorrect the set-up is loaded with defaults, mostly from settings in EPROM as listed in the default set-up below (see HH set-up / default memory).

5.2.8 FW versions

The CRC program (referred to as FirmWare - FW) resides in the Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory

(EPROM) device on the PCB at the location marked as ROM. The EPROM is marked with a sticker, indicating the type, version, checksum and date of programming as follows:

CR355

V1.09

3456

00-03-31

The first line refers to the product CR355.

The second line indicates the version number. The version history is listed in the index below. The version is kept in the EPROM at address 0FFF0H.

The third line indicates the type of FW. Due to the size of the program, all types of FW cannot be kept in a single EPROM and are thus available in different type EPROMS. These letters are also kept in the EPROM at address 0FFF6H.

The 1 st

letter indicates the language used on LCD/terminal displays and on the printer. Options are:

The 2 nd

E English, F French, D Dutch, S Spanish

letter sets the communication protocol (if no letter, all options in the version):

L LAN, R Remote (dial-up via modem)

A possible 3 rd

letter indicates special functions:

V Vending, C Cash loader

The fourth line is the checksum of EPROM (a sum of all the data) and is always running HEX numbers.

The fifth line is the date the EPROM was programmed, yy-mm-dd.

The controller has built-in power and time-out watchdog reset circuitry. When the 5V supply drops below

4.8V, the RAM closes to a battery backup state and the microprocessor resets. The time-out watchdog resets

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 10 of 62

the microprocessor if the SW does not perform the time-out clear every second – this reset occurs when the green tick LED flashes on the PCB. These functions are done automatically. A reset can be forced by powering up the controller or by short circuiting the reset pin on the PCB (masked as RESET, E14) until the

PCB resets (green LED starts ticking).

When installing a LAN system, the software version in FW must be the LAN version (L) and the address of the PCB set in the NOVRAM must be set to the appropriate node address (see hand programmer below).

The running of the LAN cable must be such so as to avoid electrical interference.

RS 485 Connections are:

Cable Colour CRC Mux D25

Yellow & Green 10 25

Red 11 10

Blue 12 1

Connect 13 to 16

Each segment of the LAN must be earthed only at the controller furthest from the PC.

The ground of the CRCs are tied together to bring the potential to the same level. This is to prevent the transzorb protection devices on the controllers (between signal and ground) from “firing” due to potential differences.

LAN cable stubs must be avoided, i.e. no T-joints must be made and the cable should be looped through each controller, i.e. only two ends to the cable. The two furthermost ends of the cable must be terminated with the characteristic impedance of the cable, generally 120 ohm resistors between data and data not. Note that any unit can physically reside anywhere on the LAN, the PC mux does not need to be installed in the centre of the LAN or at the end.

5.2.11 Reader micro processors

ICs 2 and 4 are programmes uPs that interface to reader 1 and 2 respectively. The R1 uP controls outputs and the R2 uP monitors the supervised inputs. These uPs are marked with version numbers and could contain special versions for serial devices connected to the serial ports; typically special versions of the R2 uPs are required for cash loader and vending applications.

Ruggedization is limited to static use, i.e. not mobile. The mean time between failures is greater than 10 000 hours at 24 hour per day operation within the specified environmental and supply conditions.

5.2.13 Acceptance test procedure

During production, CRC is subjected to a variety of tests and checks. A built in test (BITE) EPROM is used to test all HW functions of PCB and once installed in housing, functional tests are performed.

5.2.14 QA

All steps of production are monitored and logged to procedures recorded and monitored for ISO9002, ensuring accountability for each step of production and testing.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 11 of 62

5.3 CONFIGURATION

The CRC is installed in as stand-alone unit or as part of a LAN system and is configured to control one door (with a reader in and reader out) or as a two door controller (reader in, free or egress exit). A bi-directional turnstile or booth (mantrap) is set as a two door controller.

Readers are connected directly to the PCB or via CR372 or CR372 front end modules connected to R1 serial port in RS485 mode.

The general sequence of an access event is as follows:

Access is requested by swiping/presenting a card/tag at one of the readers or by entering a PIN code at one of the two PIN-pads. The PIN code is ended with a # or followed by the card.

Access is granted if the card is found in the database, enabled for the reader and the time group allocated to the card is active (see below).

When access is granted, the latch is opened for the set open latch time or until the door is opened (see action complete settings).

Access granted or denied is reported to the PC in on-line installations. If there is no communication with the PC, the transaction is stored in a 950 or 2900-event buffer. The message sent to the PC contains date (not in CR351 mode) hour, minute and second, card number and the event type:

Entered.

Out-of-area.

Out-of-time.

Captured.

Wrong PIN.

Duress.

Wrong format (checksum or number of bits error). Multi-errors only sent once, i.e. only sent if previous was not a format error.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 12 of 62

Wrong facility (client or site code do not match).

If anti-pass back (APB) is set for the reader and the card is not set as a pass back card, the reader used becomes disabled for the card. If anti-time back (ATB) is set, the card is disabled for the reader for the set ATB period.

In on-line installations, the card may be en- or disabled by the PC in response to the card having moved at a reader (APB or “strictly from”), card expired, en-disabled by the PC operator or as a result of counters or events.

5.4.1 Database

The CRC uses a local battery backed up database of card holders which indicates if the card is enabled for each reader, the time group allocated to the card, if the card is a pass back card and a capture card.

Database options available are listed below. When the dB type is changed, all data is lost.

In LAN systems, the PC updates the database and the local data is overwritten. No upload to the PC function is available. A batch load function is available for the hand programmer.

The remainder of the numbers run sequentially, generally starting at 1. The facility code is allocated and programmed in the card by the card manufacturer. Cards with a different facility code are read as an illegal card.

Depending on the card type, the facility code is equal to (client code * 256) + a site code. The site and client codes are set in the controller and if the card type does not use facility, both must be set to zero.

Setting a client and site code of zero, ignores the facility section of the card number.

Setting a card type with odd number (one more than the normal setting), only uses facility code and ignores the card information.

The position of facility code and card number in the card data structure for card types is fixed. For ISO MAG cards or serial readers the position for facility and card number are configurable, but whereas facility code must be programmed at the set position, the programmed number could contain fewer digits (the controller stuffs in leading zeros).

5.4.3 APB

Anti-pass back is set per reader, and when a card gains access via an APB reader, the card is automatically disabled at that reader. A card set as pass back overrides APB, i.e. the card is not disabled.

The setting for APB are one of the following:

00 = Enable anti-passback ((1st digit = reader 1, 2nd digit = reader 2)

11 = Disable anti-passback (1st digit = reader 1, 2nd digit = reader 2)

22 = Logical anti-passback (aux input 3 enables for reader 1, aux input 4 for reader 2)

The logical option prevents a card holder from entering a car park with a vehicle, exiting on foot and reentering with another vehicle. This is achieved by connecting metal loop detectors to the controller, with the

APB effectively staying where the vehicle is. Note that if the reader disable option is used (when a vehicle is

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 13 of 62

present), this logical option need not be used (this is not possible when the card holder needs to exit the car park on foot using the card.

If the APB reset option is set to 1 and the input that is set as APB reset input (CR355 mode, or input 11 for

CR351) is pulled to ground (e.g. with a key switch), each card which is enabled for either reader, is enabled for both, i.e. the local database is changed when the input is pulled low.

If the option is set to 2, access is granted when the card is enabled for either reader while the LAN communication if off-line.

5.4.5 ATB

Anti-time back is used where APB cannot be used (no exit readers) and a value of 1 to 9 minutes is set. The last 20 cards per reader that gain access are counted out for ATB. Access will be denied at the reader until st the time is counted out or the card uses the other reader of the controller. When the 21 card is used, the 1st card in the list is re-enabled. ATB is set per reader and readers can be set to clear a card from the other readers ATB list, i.e. a card entering though a reader is cleared from the other readers ATB time-out list.

The Softcon CRC can be set to use most card types available. The selections are tabled below. Note that the maximum characters that can be used for card numbers is 10 digits. Any type can be random cards (requires a random dB selection) or not. Type 14 effectively replaces type 12 and 16.

Serial Card types require certain R1 and R2 uP versions. Touch readers require specific link field settings and resistors (see links below) and must be db mode 10.

Setting a card type with odd number (one more than the normal setting), only uses facility code and ignores the card information.

With the exception of 30, 32, 34, 36, 44 bit cards, any Wiegand selection (0,2,4,6,20) will detect the number of bits and decode accordingly. As there are 2 different 30 bit, 4 different 32 bit, 3 different 34 bit, 2 different

36 bit and 2 different 44 bit coding structures, the card type 2, 4, 6 or 20 must be set correctly for these cards.

Parity / checksums ignored where calculation is unknown (can be added) and when LRC Parity check set >0.

New formats can be added on request.

For 30 bit cards (type 2), the bit location where the parity changes (generally at bit 15, i.e. bits 0 to 14 are even, 15 to 29 are odd) is set in EPROM at position 0FFFEH. Certain manufactures calculate the change from bit 14 or from 16. The byte at 0FFFEH can be changed to match the manufacturer accordingly. Setting the byte to 0, ignores parity, allowing the use of cards that differ on where parity is calculated. Note that data must be received in the correct order, i.e. the controller will not flip the data around if received the other way around (card swiped the other way). Not checking parity could allow misreads to pass as correct (only facility code must be correct, card number could be wrong).

Only dB mode 10 can be used for Wiegand BCD, Wiegand 44, Corporate 1000, Touch tags and where card numbers exceed 65,000.

For serial readers (e.g. barcode readers) any of the Wiegand settings can be used when facility code is not used. When using facility code or card number at specific character locations, card type 14 must be used and the ISO start and end locations for facility and number are used (data start from position 2). Only numbers can be used on cards, no letters. See jumpers below for serial HW options.

2 * RS485 ControlSoft readers can be connected to R2, with the readers set with address 1 and 2. Card code type must be set to 22 and database type to 10. Install E8-E9 and IC3 (75176), remove IC 7 (MAX232).

One MagTek motorised smart card reader (IntelliStripe 320) can be connected to reader 2. The MAG stripe read has not been enabled. The smart card read is specific to the ISO7816-4 EZpay gaming cards, reading the 20 digit patron ID number. Reader 2 card type must be set to 26, dB mode 10, Alt card start / end to 2 /

21. Facility start / end, and a client or site number must be set (MAG cards that match the facility are not treated as Alt cards). If MAG cards are not used, set facility and client to any dummy number – e.g. 2 to 9,

999. See Motorized reader below.

Softcon MAG formats start with HEX 11 or FE, 8 bits client, 4 site, 20 bit card number, 8 bit x, 8 bit y, 8 bit card type, a, b, c, d, e. Bytes x and y only used in certain cards types (else ignored), For card type 2, a=2 byte sum, b to e do not exit. Other card types and use of x, y and a to e are proprietary to Softcon.

A time delay of approximately 100 msec is automatically started when data bits are received from a reader – and when timed-out, the data is processed. This mechanism allows for slow swiping of cards. Certain proximity reader can read multiple cards with typical delays of 25 msec between cards. To disable the time delay, the R1 and R2 uP firmware require changing of the byte at address 0FFFH to be equal to the number of bits received before processing. If the byte is set to 0 (default) or less bits are received, the time-out is set.

Note that the value is in hex (26 bit=1AH, 30bit= 1EH).

When using running number cards (with facility code, i.e. not random dB), the cards generally start at number

1. If cards start at a higher number, the offset can be set. For example if the cards start at 1001 and the offset is set to 1000, the card data is located at 1. Setting a negative number adds to the card number, e.g. with a setting of -10, sets card 50 to card 60. The controller does not use negative number as minus, to set negative deduct the number from 65536 (which is 0), thus -10 is set as 65526.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 15 of 62

5.4.8 Card data location

ISO MAG cards can be programmed with the FACILITY CODE and card number at certain character positions on the card. Start and end positions are set, position 1 is reserved for the start character - the first start position for facility or card number is 2. Facility code can be before or after the card number.

The facility code must be programmed at the set position. The programmed card number could contain fewer digits (the controller stuffs in leading zeros).

Should an alternative card location be set (not 00 to 00), the facility code of the card is checked and if correct, the card number at the set card number location is used and if incorrect, the card number at the alternative location is sent to the PC as a special message. This option is used to pass non-staff cards to external linked systems.

ISO MAG cards can be programmed with a Longitudinal Redundancy Checksum (LCR) which is an extra check byte at end of the card data. This minimizes misreads as being passed. For the CRC to check the

LRC, the option must be set to 0. If the option is set to 1, the check is not done. LRC for cards with more that

20 characters must be set to off (cannot be calculated).

For

non-CR355A

mode, 51 time groups kept by the controller and are as follows:

•

Access control (15). One of the groups are allocated to each card and sets when access if granted (if the card is enabled).

•

Reader must be used (2). A group per reader sets when the reader must be used to request access.

If the time group is not active, the reader can be used optionally. When the group is active, the reader must be used.

•

PIN must be used (2). A group per reader sets when the PIN-pad must be used to request access. If the time group is not active, the PIN can be used optionally. When the group is active, the PIN must be entered.

Note that if reader and PIN groups are active, both must be used (PIN followed by card), else a PIN error is reported.

•

Door open (2). A group per latch sets when the door is automatically open (e.g. in the mornings from

7:00 to 8:00).

•

Input time groups (15). Each of the action completes are set with any of the input groups, setting when the doors are monitored for illegally opened. When the inputs are used as input monitors, input time groups are set for when the inputs must be reported. Any of the input groups are selected for monitoring closed and for open (i.e. then the input is closed and when it opens).

•

Output time groups (15). Each output is allocated a time group setting when the contact is closed automatically (level 1 on the PC). A time-group of 0 sets no control on time.

For

CR355A

mode, 60 time groups kept by the controller with 8 time groups per 15 groups and any group is selected for Access, Reader, PIN, Door open (Latch), input and output.

A time group is enabled for a time zone (row) with a 1 for the day of the week or Holiday as follows (the example group is active from 8:00 to 13:00 on holidays, 7:15 17:30 weekdays and Sundays and 24hrs on

Saturdays):

Start

07:15

00:00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

non-CR355A

mode, each of the 6 time group sets type as listed above, has its own set of 8 time zones consisting of a start and end time. When testing on whether a time group is active, the date is first checked

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 16 of 62

against the 30 holidays set. If the day is a holiday, the holiday column is checked for all 1s and the day of week is ignored. The time group is active if the time is within (and including) any the start and end times set with a 1. If the day is not a holiday, the appropriate day of the week column is checked. Time zone of 00:00 to

00:00 are not checked and time zones with start and end times that are the same, are 24 hr zones (e.g. 12:00 to 12:00).

5.5.2 Holidays

Up to 30 holidays are set - date and month. Day of week setting for holidays are ignored by time groups, only the holiday settings are used.

5.5.3 Buzzer

An output can be configured (in CR351 mode relay 3) to control an external buzzer. This buzzer can be set to sound when the following is set:

0 Buzzer output disabled.

1 Buzz on alarm

2 Beep once for card accepted, twice for card rejected.

3 Option 1 and 2

4 Aux out for reader 2, as option 1.

The alarm conditions are card out of area (also ATB and APB errors), out of time, multiple illegal or door open too long or not opened. The buzzer sounds until the door error condition does not exist, i.e. the door is opened or closed legally.

The buzzer output can be switched on or off from the PC.

5.5.4 Door open too long

When action complete is used, the door can be monitored for being kept open too long. A setting of 1 to 99 seconds’ results in an alarm message being sent to the PC in on-line installation and the sounding of the buzzer if buzzer alarm is set. A zero setting for door open too long disables this function.

The latch relay is activated closed (or opened if NC latch is set) when access is granted (via egress or successful card request), until the action complete is monitored as being opened (when using certain action complete settings), or until the latch time-out is reached. The time-out is set to 1 to 60 seconds. A time setting of 0 will result in the latch contact activated until the action complete is opened, i.e. no time-out. When the latch time is set to 1 second, the latch is energized for the set 250 msec multiplier (e.g. a setting of 5= 1.250 second).

5.5.6 Real time and date

The controller contains a battery backed-up real time clock and date. The battery lasts 10 years with the power to the controller switched off (no battery power is consumed while the power is switched on). Accuracy of the time is better than

1 minute per month. In PC based systems, the controller’s time-date is synchronized with the PC clock every 60 minutes.

When reporting events to the LAN, date is not included with the time in the CR351 mode. The PC date is used for the event, unless the event time is more than 1 hour ahead of the PC time, then the previous date is used, i.e. a buffered message is assumed. The date is included by the controller in all other modes.

Monday is week day 1 and Sunday is day 7.

A limit can be set on the number of illegal entry attempts at a reader as 1 to 9 attempts. When exceeded, an alarm condition is reported to the PC in PC based systems and the buzzer is sounded if the alarm option is set. The reader is also disabled if the option is set (see reader disable). An illegal attempts setting of zero, disables this option.

5.5.8 Multi-reads (delay before next card is read)

The delay between reading cards is defined by the EPROM value at address 0FFFDH. More than 1 is

250msec multiples. Data received within the delay is discarded. R1 and R2 micro-processors also have a

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 17 of 62

delay latency – checking to see if more bits arrive from the reader. Byte at 0FFFH set fixed number of bits expected from the reader – resulting in no delay (typically 10msec), i.e. when the correct numbers of bits are received (typically 10msec), the data is sent to the main processor. Setting of 0 enables the delay latency

(typically 25 msec). Thus setting EPROM 0FFFDH=0 and 0FFFH=xx (e.g. 1AH for 26 bit) in R1 and R2 uPs, the minimum delay between cards is 10msec (25msec if R1 and R2 0FFFH=0).

5.6.1 Inputs

In the CR351 mode, inputs are fixed and perform special functions, e.g. action complete. 4 aux inputs are available for monitoring contacts.

When the controller type is set to CR355, the input ports are configured. Each of the local 16, the front modules 1 and 2 (4 each) supervised inputs are set as

Aux inputs

(normal input) or as a special function input, linked to reader/door 1 or 2 (see default memory at end of document):

APB follow.

The cards APB is only changed when this input is read as high (open).

APB reset.

When the input is read as low, all cards that have access on either reader, are given access on both.

Action complete.

Door monitor.

Boot occupied.

In booth (mantrap) mode, a low input (closed contact) indicates that the booth is occupied.

Capture.

When card capture is set, a low input (contact closed) indicates that a card has been entered in to the capture bin.

Egress.

When the Egress or push button input is read as low, the door is opened.

Reader enable.

The associated reader is enabled when the input is high (open) and the reader functions normally. When low, the reader is disabled and the red led indicates that data from the reader is ignored.

Reader tamper.

The latch control (via reader or push button) is disabled when the tamper input is low.

This input is connected to a micro switch mounted on the reader that is low when the reader is removed from its mounting.

Latch monitor.

The latch is monitored and only when locked after door closed (action complete) is action complete. When action complete is till door closed, latch is controlled locked on door closed.

Each input is set to be a 2 level detection (not supervised) or 4 level (supervised). Level is changed by entering 2 or 4.

Noisy inputs (e.g. sense input on MAG readers) could require 1k ohm serial resistor on the ground line and

2k2 ohm on the input line.

Supervised inputs require resistors as follows:

INPUT

Level 1=Short circuit

Level 2=Closed

Level 3=Open

Level 4=Open circuit

2k2

6 k

GND

SUPERVISED

INPUT

For noisy inputs, add 1k in ground line.

5.6.2 Outputs

In the CR351 mode, outputs are fixed and perform dedicated functions, e.g. latch 1. 1 aux output is available that can be controlled by the PC or be set to activate on a time group.

When the controller type is set to CR355 mode, the output ports are configured. Each of the local 14 (outputs th

13 and 14 are virtual), the front modules 1 and 2 (9 each, 9 output is virtual) outputs are set as

Aux outputs

, or as special function outputs linked to the reader/door (see default memory at end of document):

Latch.

Control of the latch.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 18 of 62

Capture.

Control of the capture bin.

Buzzer.

Audible alarm output.

Reader Isolate.

Output driven by the PC when reader is isolated (data is ignored). When set to a

virtual

output, the reader isolate is controlled without an output being controlled.

LED Green, Red, Yellow.

LEDs are controlled displaying green for access granted, yellow (set for flashing or steady on) for ready and red for access denied (out-of-area, out-of-time, ATB, wrong

PIN) or reader disabled. Yellow and red on indicate misread/format error (number of bit or checksum) or facility error (client or site code error). Flashing red indicates booth/interlock busy. 3-

LED (default) or 2-LED (Red and Green on for Yellow) control can be set.

Booth/interlock busy.

When booth sequence is in progress or interlock is set and a door is open or unlocked, the output is activated.

PERIPHERALS

A variety of readers, displays, door monitors and input devices can be tied to the CRC. These are listed below:

Card readers should always be mounted within 50 meters of the controller utilizing an 8 core 0.2mm² mylar screened cable. Serial readers generally use a 2 pair screened cable. The screen must always be connected to mains earth terminal block in the controller. Always ensure that all metal-based equipment that the reader is mounted on (gooseneck, turnstile etc.) is well earthed to mains earth. Ideally the reader should be mounted ±

1.2m above ground level. When using swipe readers ensure sufficient space to accommodate the swipe action from insert through to follow through is provided for. Special care must be taken when mounting proximity or handfree readers. Problems are encountered with readers influencing one another. When mounting Prox reader on metal, the read distance decreases (typically by half). Mounting the readers on non-metal spacers e.g. wooden or plastic base plates of 1cm or more, resolves this problem. Detailed mounting instructions are available from the manufacturers of the readers.

Reader connections are by means of 9 pin molex plugs (these are supplied with the controllers). The reader connectors are marked on the CRC PCB as P1[9] (reader 1) and P2[10] (reader 2). Cables must never be soldered to the reader or CRC connector pins, use the crimp pins supplied.

It is essential to use the correct crimp tool at the correct pressure for crimping the lugs to the reader cable. Note that the end section of the lug is crimped on to the cable sheath, while the front end is crimped on to bare strands of the cable. The strands must be twisted together before crimping to form a “single” wire, i.e. do not crimp loose separate strands. The crimped lugs, when pushed in to the lug casing, must clip in and not slide out when the cable is pulled gently.

Ample cable slack should be left at both sides of the cable, facilitating the removal of the reader from its mounting position while it remains connected, and allowing the two reader connections to be exchanged at the CRC end.

Excess slack should not be coiled up inside the housing. Use the appropriate CRC housing knockout for the cable entry - see installation.

Before switching on the controller

, links E3 (for reader 1) and E4 (for reader 2), must be set for the power required by the reader, namely 12 VDC or 5 VDC. Linking 12V for a 5V reader could permanently damage the reader. PCB versions 637 or later have pin 4 that provide 12V supply with a serial 90 ohm resistor, limiting the supply, preventing a short circuit to blow the supply fuse (link 2 to 4). Readers requiring other voltages, must be powered from an external power supply.

Reader connections are as follows (with colors suggested):

Generally

serial readers

only use pins 1, 4, 8 and 9 and non serial use 1 to 7 (the same pin-outs as the Softcon

CR351/2/4 controller).

Current versions (1.23) allows for

serial readers

(e.g. barcode readers) that give card number terminated with carriage return (0DH). NOTE termination character is only 0DH (Enter is CR LF and will cause errors). Any of the

Wiegand settings are required, with site and client codes set to zero. When facility is used or the position of the card number needs to be set, card type 14 must be used (ISO facility and card number location sets where facility code and card number start and end, with data starting at location 2). Any of the database types can be used. See communications above for serial settings.

It is good practice to use an unused core as an additional ground, i.e. double up on the ground line with two cores, especially on long cable runs.

The CRC can interface to motorized MAG readers. These are often used when card capture is required. This requires a special EPROM and a special wiring jig. Please contact Softcon.

One MagTek Intellistripe 320 smart card reader can be connected to reader 2 (see card type 26 above). This

RS232 reader requires that IC7 (RS232 driver for reader 1 and reader 2) be installed – with pins 7 and 9 removed (these will clash with reader 1 RS485 as required for the hand programmer). IC3 (RS485 for reader

2) must be removed. IC6 (R2 micro processor) and IC16 (EPROM) must contain the MagTek versions.

6.2 PIN-PADS

One or two PIN-pad readers can be tied to the CRC and function independently or in conjunction with the card readers. Softcon CR374(s) are connected to reader 1 serial port (RS485 mode) to PIN Pad(s). The CR355

PIN

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 25 of 62

used

setting enables the use of PIN. This setting is done via the hand programmer or received from the PC. The

CR374 receives the keypad function from the CR355 as:

“

HH-mode

” when the hand programmer link is detected – keypad used for editing.

“

PIN-mode

” when no HH link and PIN used is set – keypad used as PIN pad.

“

Simulate

-mode” when neither of the above – keypad entries simulate Wiegand reader pulses. This is used in conjunction with fingerprint readers and is the

only mode displaying digits

selected.

In all functions, the ‘*’ key (bottom left) is cancel and the ‘#’ key (bottom right) is enter.

Using PIN requires a database setting that uses PIN (currently only db10). Time_groups set when the PIN-pads must be used. When the time groups are set that PIN and cards must be used, cards with a PIN of 0, only require card and not PIN. When PIN only is entered, the ‘#’ enters the PIN, when PIN and card, the PIN digits are entered, followed by the card (no ‘#” key). The PIN entered is always checked, also when followed by card and PIN is not required.

Wrong PIN codes or no PIN code when required, are reported as “WRONG PIN” to the PC. A DURESS message is reported to the PC when a ‘0’ is added to the front of the PIN code (the door opens normally if the PIN has access).

Two versions of HID PIN/PROX readers are available. The ‘K’ version uses the Wiegand data lines to transfer the PIN and the ‘S’ version uses a 4 by 3 matrix and is connected to the CR374. See CR374 for connections. When using the HH, PIN readers only function correctly after HH are removed and the controller is reset.

Data/clock readers with PIN that use the following format can be used with the same set-up for PIN readers:

PIN digits in 8 bit bytes ASCII of the PIN (MSB first with odd parity), e.g. key 0 = binary 10110000; 1 =

00110001; 9 = 10111001; * = 00101010; # = 00100011.

The reader LEDs show red when disabled. No data is reported to the LAN when presenting a card to a disabled reader. Settings available for reader disable are for reader only, or reader and egress. See hand programmer.

Multiple illegal attempts:

The readers can be automatically disabled when the multiple illegal attempt setting is exceeded. The reader is disabled until the door opens or until the reader disable time-out is completed. The time-out is set to 1 to 9 minutes. A setting of zero disables this function.

Reader disable input:

Readers / PIN can be enable / disable by monitoring the inputs set as reader enable inputs (auxiliary inputs 3 for reader 1 and input 4 for reader 2 in the CR351 mode – in CR355 an input configured as reader enable input).

When the input is low (closed contact between the input and signal ground), the reader is disabled. A typical implementation is the enabling of a reader at a barrier only when a vehicle is detected at the reader (via a metal loop detector in the road). When an input is not set as a reader enable input, the reader is enabled.

The set-up option 00 no/HI/P ena. R12 must be set to 1 (only reader en-disable on input) or 2 (reader and egress enabled on input). The setting is for reader 1 and reader 2 (e.g. 10=only reader 1 on input, 01=only reader 2 or

11=both reader 1 and 2).

In CR355 mode, the input is only monitored when the input time group is set to zero or when the set time group is active. When the time group is not active, the reader is enabled. Should the input be low (e.g. permanently linked to ground) and the time-group becomes active/not-active – the reader is disabled/enabled (note that as the input did not change, an input change is not reported). As permanently linking an reader enable input to ground to effect reader disable on time group is the loss of an input, the reader enable output should be used.

Reader disable output / PC control:

An output that is set for as a reader disable output will disable the reader when the allocated output time-group

(level 1) is active or when controlled by the PC (level 3). Should no physical output be required, a virtual output should be used. For CR355 outputs 13 and 14 are virtual (i.e. does physically not exist).

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 26 of 62

In PC based systems, the readers can be en-/disabled via messages that are initiated automatically (time based) or on the occurrence of certain events, or on operator actions. By setting the reader enable output to level 3

(reader disabled permanently) or to level 4 (permanently enabled) – a local time-group or inputs will not change the status). Setting levels 1 (disabled) or level 2 (enabled) will be overwritten by local reader enable inputs or timegroups.

6.4 LCD

One or two LCD displays can be tied to the CRC and function in conjunction with the card readers. Softcon

CR374(s) are connected to reader 1 serial port (RS485 mode) to PIN Pad(s).

One or two action complete detectors can be tied to the CRC, indicating the status of the access point being controlled, i.e. whether the control has been effected. Monitoring of the action and the following additional features:

Action complete card-holder has entered.

Illegal opening the controller did not open.

Open too long

Entry closed entry point is being kept open. closed after being open.

Door not opened door was not opened even though entry granted.

The CRC requires a potential free contact as an action complete indicator, which could be normally open or closed.

The action complete sensor is generally mounted on or in the doorframe. The sensor and cabling should be installed so as to prevent tampering. Cable tampering (open or short circuit) is not monitored.

In “one door” installations (one latch), the sensor is tied to action complete door 1. In two door installations, the second sensor (functioning in conjunction with latch 2), is tied to action complete door 2.

One or two push buttons can be tied to the CRC, which request the opening of the latch. Push buttons are used in installations that have entry readers only (push button exit) and where push buttons are used as an overriding facility (e.g. used by the receptionist to allow visitors access). The push button action is monitored by the CRC, which then effects control, facilitating the reporting of the push button action and meaningful action complete monitoring.

The CRC requires a normally open, potential free contact, i.e. closing when the request is made. In the CR355 mode, the push button is only monitored when a zero time group is set for the input or when the set time group is active. In the CR351 mode, the push button is always monitored.

In booth or bi-directional turnstile installations, a push button per direction of access is installed.

When push buttons are used for exit (no reader for exit), they are mounted at a height of approximately 1.2 meters. In installations where push buttons are used as override buttons, key switches are used or the push buttons are installed where not accessible to persons who have to use a card to gain access.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 27 of 62

In certain installations it may be required that key-switches be used as push buttons, e.g. by security personnel in positions where access to the push button cannot be limited.

Numerous push buttons could be tied in parallel (across the same terminals), with the supervised resistors

(CR355 mode) installed at the furthest button. Push buttons for opening latch 1 (in one or two door installations) are tied to the input allocated as egress 1 and ground and those for latch 2 (in 2 door installations), to the input set as egress 2 and ground.

The push button can be disabled with the reader by setting disable reader on input, with the push button only being monitored when the reader is enabled on input.

6.7 LATCH

One or two control points can be tied to the CRC (described under “Access controllers” above). When access is granted, the output set as latch 1 or latch 2 (in 2 door configurations) is closed (or opened in normally closed settings). The on board relays are generally used to switch latches, barrier, etc. Latches are installed in or on the door or booth frames.

Two normally open and two normally closed relays are mounted on the CRC PCB and are rated at 3A 250V or 30

VDC. Inter-posing relays must be installed in installations when the specifications of the on board relay are exceeded. Due to noise generation, these relays should not be installed in the CRC housing.

The contacts can be changed from normally open to normally closed via the NO / NC set-up. It is suggested that the normally closed relays be used for latches requiring power to be locked (e.g. MAG locks) and normally open relays for latches that are locked with no power, i.e. the locked state requires no power on the relay. In CR351 mode, the latch relays are fixed as relay 1 (latch 1) and relay 4 (latch 2) – these are normally open.

The latch can be set to

Latch click

which results in the latch being momentarily pulsed to locked when it is unlocked. This is used when an audible sound is required at the latch to indicate that it is unlocked. This option is generally not used when switching AC (AC latches make a 50/60 Hz sound when powered).

The resistor/capacitor for AC and diodes for DC components reduce the “flash-over” of the relay contacts. The flyback components should be installed at the load, i.e. at the lock or roller door/boom logic board. Fly-back relays must also be installed on inter-posing or other inductive loads being switched.

When switching DC loads, the ideal is to run the negative line (ground) to the load and switch the positive line

(+12v) through the relay.

AC LOCKS DC LOCKS

Unregulated 12VAC (terminals 53 and 54) and 12VDC (55 or 58 + and 56 or 57 ground) are available for feeding through the latch relays (see power supplies below). The latch supplies are derived from a separate winding of the

12V transformer installed within the CRC housing (the other winding generates the supply for the PCB). The 12

VAC is rectified and smoothed for the 12 VDC supply. AC supply to the primary winding of the transformer is set at 110 or 220V. Total current drawn by the latches should ideally not exceed 1A. Fuse F1 on the CRC has a 2A fuse (F1) installed in-line with the AC supply from the transformer.

6.8 BOOTH / MANTRAP / INTERLOCK

Booth mode (booth mode set to 0)

– 2 doors with action complete, occupied optional, 2 reader

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 28 of 62

The CRC controls a booth (mantrap) without additional external electronics. Action compete is required. Presence detect in the booth is optional. The sequences of events are:

Access request by reader, and/or PIN pad or egress.

If access is granted, the door is unlocked.

Action complete is detected for door opening and closing.

The door is locked.

Presence detect must be active.

The second door is unlocked.

Action complete of second door is detected for opening and closing.

The second door is locked.

Access is reported to the PC.

While the sequence is taking place, the readers, PIN and push buttons are ignored, and the red LED on the readers flash RED. The presence contact is closed when presence is true. The presence detect input to the CRC must be permanently connected to signal ground when presence detect is not used.

Should the sequence not be completed, the doors are locked after a 10 sec time-out and door not opened is reported to the PC. Should the presence detect have changed after the first door was opened (not permanently connected to ground) and presence is active after the time-out (i.e. someone is inside), the first door is unlocked until presence is not active.

To eliminate the action complete problems caused by MAG locks, two additional inputs can be configured as latch monitors in the CR355 mode. On closing of a door, action complete is only after the action complete is active and the latch is locked. The lock monitor is ignored on door opening. The action complete settings must be set as

“open till closed”.

In the CR355 mode, an output can be configured as a “booth busy” signal. This output is active while the booth sequence is busy, i.e. while the red LEDs flash.

1-reader/door booth mode (booth mode set to 2) – 2 doors with action complete, reader 1

The booth uses a 1 door, 1-reader configuration. The reader is accessed by sliding the door to the to-direction

(open to the from-area, closed to the to-area). If the reader grants access, the door slides to the other side.

Interlock mode

– 2 doors with action complete, 1 or readers

With booth mode set to interlock, the doors function independently but prevent a door being unlocked (via reader or egress) while the other door in open or unlocked. Any booth mode is also an interlock.

1-reader booth mode

– 2 reader-enable, 1 reader, 1 or 2 latch / action complete

The 1-reader controller monitors reader-enable 1 and reader-enable 2 inputs. On receiving data from reader

(connected to reader 1 port) and reader enable 1 is active (input low) - data is taken as from reader 1, else if reader enable 2 is active – data is taken as from reader 2. If neither is active, the reader LED is RED and data is discarded. All other functions of 1 (one latch relay) or 2 doors (2 latch relays) and action complete function

(reporting not opened, opened too long, illegal open) as normal.

6.9 CARD CAPTURE BIN

A card capture unit is an enclosure in to which visitors must insert their cards before exit is permitted from the premises. After the card is presented to the exit reader, the card capture bin indicates a “DROP CARD” message.

Only when the card is inserted into the capture bin will the door latch unlock.

Non-visitor (non-capture) cards are granted exit without the need to insert a card in to the capture bin. Each card is individually set.

In the CR351 mode, only reader 2 can function with a capture unit. In the CR355 mode, either or both readers can be configured as capture units by allocating the capture outputs and inputs for either or both readers.

The card capture bin is installed at the reader, with the card insert point into the bin in close proximity to the reader. The drop card sensor is a potential free normally open contact (micro switch or optical), grounding the input when the card is sensed.

6.10 TERMINAL / TEST

A VT100 compatible terminal, with serial RS232 communications, can be tied to the CRC in the test mode and in

BITE mode. The BITE mode requires a special EPROM and is used to test and repair PCBs. The test mode is enabled when the comms setting is set to test – set via hand programmer (1 LA/TE/MO/PC/HH).

Generally the baud rate of the terminal is required as 9600, 8 data bits, 1 stop and no parity. HW handshaking is not required, but X-on/off is used. The rate is set via hand programmer.

RS 232 connections for the terminal are:

Functions available in test mode are displayed by selecting ? on the terminal. An option is switched on/off by selecting the appropriate key (e.g. R selects reader debug). Options available are:

A AtoD – inputs read.

C Cards fr to Enter – displays enabled cards.

D Debug – displays data received from uPs.

L LAN comms – data that is sent on LAN.

P Displays Port status changes.

R Reader – HEX data received from readers (with number of bits) and after decoded (with site, client).

I Initialize WaveTrend asset readers (special EPROM version).

Q Query WaveTrend asset tag, Enter (special EPROM version).

W Display WaveTrend status (special EPROM version).

X Erase WaveTend tag, Enter (special EPROM version).

Note that the space key shifts the display up by 4 lines (carriage return and 4 line feeds).

6.11 MODEMS

Via the HH, the comms mode is set to type 2 (modem), baud is set to 9k6 and the bits set to 8. The node address must match the PC setting, generally node 1. The initialization string sent to the modem on power-up is editable via the hand programmer (stored in battery RAM). The modem must be set to auto answer and ignore HW and

SW handshake (pass XON / XOFF through).

The controller ignores HW handshake (CTS / RTS) and does not generate Data Terminal Ready (DTR). Modem setting thus requires that DTR be ignored. Certain modems do not have such a setting, or does not function correctly. Such modems must be wired as a null modem as indicated below, else a connect command is not received.

The controllers use the basic Hayes communication and typically at 9600 baud, async with no flow control, error correction / detection or compaction. Set to auto answer. The initialization string sent to the modem on power-up is stored in battery backed-up RAM (copied from EPROM if battery is not detected, e.g. after RAM battery-drop).

The EPROM string of 64 bytes is located at 0FFA0H to 0FFDFH. The RAM copy is editable via the HH (4 lines of display). Commands can be separated by spaces. Typical command strings (always start with AT):

Using a program such as Windows Hyper-terminal (set to 9k6, 8 bit, no parity, no flow control) COMx displays data from modem and COMy the data to modem (open two instances of hyper terminal). The initialization string can be seen on COMy when the controller is powered up, the modem must respond with 0 (COMx). Reply of 4 is error and a command in the initialization string is unknown. Edit the string (overwrite each command with spaces to find the illegal command). Note that when data is transferred between PC and controller, the data is in hex and hyper-terminal displays ’funny characters’. Using a program such as Listen32 ( www.win-tech.com

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Limited protection is provided against mechanical damage, but the CRC is transportable if not manhandled. Protection against electrical damage, as well as against effects of static electricity is sufficient.

UNPACKING

All controllers are generally delivered mounted within steel enclosures and are wrapped in plastic. The terminals, PCs and printer are delivered in polystyrene protection.

The serial number of the units and the version of software provided (where applicable) is written on to the plastic wrapping. A small plastic packet containing diodes, resistors, capacitors, molex plugs and pins are supplied inside the

CR enclosure. The keys to the CR enclosure lock are strapped onto the locking lever within the CRC enclosure.

INITIAL INSPECTION

A visual inspection of all units is done before and after unpacking. Defects must be reported immediately, and no defective units should be installed.

ASSEMBLY

All

Softcon

manufactured units are workshop assembled, fully tested.

INSTALLATION

GOLDEN RULES TO SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATIONS ARE:

•

READ THE MANUAL

•

AVOID “NOISY” ENVIRONMENTS.

•

KEEP CABLE LENGTHS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.

•

USE SCREENED CABLES.

•

EARTH CONTROLLERS, CABLES SCREENS and METAL ON TO WHICH READERS ARE MOUNTED.

•

USE “CLEAN” AND STABLE MAINS SUPPLY.

•

SUPPRESS “FLY-BACK” AT INDUCTIVE LOADS.

•

SWITCH THE SUPPLY TO LOADS (not the ground return).

•

USE COMMON SENSE.

The installation of the controller and peripherals are described for each item below.

MOUNTING

The CRC enclosure has four 5mm holes in the back plate of the enclosure for easy mounting. Ideally the CRC is mounted at a height of 1.5m to the bottom of the housing and central to the card readers connected to it. When selecting the physical position to mount the controller, take care to avoid mounting the controller within close proximity to equipment generating electromagnetic fields (EMF). Typical EMF or noise generators are: radio transmitters, lift shafts, electric motor, electric solenoids, transformers, distribution boxes etc. Mount the CRC so that the diagnostic light emitting diodes, (LED’s) are easily visible. Utilise the 20mm knockouts on the side of the enclosure for cable entries. Power to the controller is normally via 110 / 220 VAC supply. This supply should be connected onto the 3 way terminal plug or block. If a battery back up unit is being used refer to the Battery Backup.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 33 of 62

An optional housing is the controller PCB, transformer, line filter and regulator mounted on a metal plate of 18 x 27 cm.

Three 5 mm mounting holes are provided on the plate.

Mounting of each item is described below.

CABLING

Cables should not be run in close proximity to other cables or across equipment generating noise. Where cables have to run close to or along noise generators, it is imperative to physically separate the cables from the noisy equipment and cables. A 10cm separation reduces the noise factor tremendously.

Maximum cable lengths and cable types are listed below.

Reader, LCD/keypad and PIN-pad cables must be screened cables, with the screen being tied to earth at the CRC.

The LAN cable must be screened and tied to earth at one point only, preferably at the master controller (PC).

Note that the LAN screen must be continuous, i.e. looped through at each controller.

Cables must not lie over the PCB, this prevents noise from being induced in to the electronic circuitry. Routing cables through the housing knockout that is closest to the appropriate connector on the PCB ensures minimum cables within the housing. Use the following knockouts (1 on the top, the mains connector):

•

• comms (LAN, terminal or printer)

•

LCD / PIN

•

Readers, push button, action complete, aux inputs

•

No DIP-switches are available for the CRC

node address

. The address is kept in NOVRAM and is set with the hand programmer.

STARTING UP

The power is simply switched on.

PRE-START CHECKS

Before starting up, all wiring must be checked. Note that faulty wiring could permanently damage the equipment.

Ensure that the power-supply selection to the readers (12V or 5V) is set according to the readers used (links E3 and

E4).

In LAN installations, all node addresses on the CRCs must be pre-set to the appropriate address. No two units on LAN may have the same address. CRC addresses start at 01 and run consecutively. In LAN mode, the comms option must be set to 0 (LAN) and the baud rate must be 9600 (set via hand programmer).

The front module setting (via hand programmer) must be set to match the installation. Should a front module be set and the module is not present, the speed of the reader function slows down.

The connection information provided within the lids of the controllers indicates the node address and terminal information.

Link field E11 must be removed if the CRC is not connected. The battery link E13 must be installed.

The mode the CRC function must be set with the hand programmer in stand-alone applications – updated from the PC:

CR351 / CR355 (standard EPROM), Cash-loader (special EPROM) or Vending (special EPROM) controller.

PROGRAMMING

All set-ups are kept in the CRC battery backed-up memory. Set-up is by using the hand programmer or by sending setup information via the LAN.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 36 of 62

18.1 HAND PROGRAMMER

A Softcon CR374 with LCD/keypad can be connected to the CRC as a programmer (link E11 in), facilitating the setting or altering of configuration parameters and card codes/statuses. LCD/keypads can also be used to request and indicate certain information. See

CR374

Programming via the LAN overwrites the set-up in the CRC. See the appropriate PC SW manual or the LAN master controller.

IN OPERATION

In the terminal test mode, the CRC transmits test data to/from the terminal. This mode is set with comms mode 1 (via hand programmer). Comms mode 0 is LAN mode, 2 is modem, 3 is directly to PC COM port, 4 is when hand programmer is connected to the comms port.

The terminal test mode operation is self-explanatory and functions are added as required. This is an advanced function

– see terminal / test mode above.

The CRC functions as a CR351 / CR355 (standard EPROM), Cash-loader (special EPROM) or Vending controller

(special EPROM).

CLOSING DOWN

Should it be required to switch off a CRC, the power switch (if installed) within the unit is simply turned off, or the power cable is pulled out of the socket.

Note that when controllers are powered-down the outputs are not active, resulting in non-control (e.g. doors may be locked or unlocked permanently, depending on the lock type used. The latch relay contact is open when the controller is powered off.

MAINTENANCE

Error detection is limited to the observation that the controller is not functioning “normally”, i.e. one of the following is not correct:

The “RUNNING” LED on the controller housings flashes approximately every second, indicates that the unit is functional. An off or steady-on LED indicates an error.

The “COMMS” LED on the enclosure indicates the status of the serial communications. In LAN installations, a steady-on LED indicates that comms is correct, while a flashing or off LED indicates that COMMS is intermittent or “DOWN”. In the terminal mode, the LED flashes every second, when the time on display is updated. The LED flashes whenever data is received of transmitted (from / to the terminal).

The “ENTRY” LED’s flash whenever valid data is received from a reader. The “ENTRY” LED remains on for a misread or wrong card type and goes off when a correct card is read. When communication between the main processor on the CRC and the on-board R1 and R2 processors fail, the corresponding R1 or R2 entry

LED flashes with run LED. The CRC resets when the communication fails for more than 3 seconds.

The “Ready” (YELLOW) LED flashed when the door is closed. Access denied is indicated with a red LED.

Access granted is indicated with a GREEN LED. Misreads, wrong card type or facility error (card not belonging to the site) results in the red and yellow LEDs being on.

Entry of a code (swiping of a card, selection of a PIN-pad key) results in an indication of the entry LED on the reader LED on the CRC housing. A legal code entered at the reader results in the door latch being opened.

SCS_CR355.manual.doc 2009-11-16 Page 37 of 62

Multiple illegal code entry attempts results in the reader being disabled (all LED’s of the reader off). The number of attempts and the period, for which the reader is disabled, is pre-configured. The disabled reader is re-enabled when the door is opened legally, i.e. via push button control, when a legal code is entered via the other reader.

When the reader is disabled on input or by the PC, the RED LED is on. The green LED is on while the door is open.

Door control errors are detected by the user if any of the following do not occur:

•

On entry of a legal code, the door latch is opened until the door is opened, or until a pre-set time-out has expired (door not opened). See action complete.

•

Doors opened too long (pre-set time-out) or doors opened illegally (i.e. not opened by the CRC after a legal code is entered or a push button is selected), result in the error buzzer being sounded (if set).

•

Selection of a push button results in the door latch being opened.

REPAIR

Repair actions taken by the operator are limited to ensuring that the power to the CRC is switched on, and the door is closed. The re-enabling of a reader disabled after multiple illegal codes were entered is by opening the door legally (via other reader or via push button).

21.2 INSTALLER

If reader errors occur, swap the readers by swapping P1[9] and P2[10]. The power need not be switched off

(ensure that both readers require the same voltage supply). If the error stays with the reader, replace the PCB, else replace the faulty reader after checking the cabling.

21.3 WORKSHOP

The mean time to repair is 20 minutes or less and is aided with a BITE option. A PCB repair schedule is listed as an appendix.

A debug / test mode can be set via the hand programmer, with data displayed on a serial RS232 terminal connected. See terminal / test mode above.

The associated reader is enabled when the input is high (open) and the reader functions normally. When low, the reader is disabled and the red led indicates that data from the reader is ignored.

Reader tamper.

The latch control (via reader or push button) is disabled when the tamper input is low.

This input is connected to a micro switch mounted on the reader that is low when the reader is removed from its mounting.

Latch monitor.

The latch is monitored and only when locked after door closed (action complete) is action complete. When action complete is till door closed, latch is controlled locked on door closed.

Each input is set to be a 2 level detection (not supervised) or 4 level (supervised). Level is changed by entering 2 or 4.

< Output Port type >

*CR355 mode

When the controller type is set to CR355 (setting above), the output ports are configured.

Each of the local 14 (outputs 13 and 14 are virtual), the front modules 1 and 2 (9 each, 9 th

output is virtual) outputs are set as

Aux outputs

, or as special function outputs linked to the reader/door:

Latch.

Control of the latch.

Capture.

Control of the capture bin.

Buzzer.

Audible alarm output.

Reader Isolate.

Output driven by the PC when reader is isolated (data is ignored). When set to a

virtual

output, the reader isolate is controlled without an output being controlled.

LED Green, Red, Yellow.

LEDs are controlled displaying green for access granted, yellow flashing/steady for ready and red for access denied (out-area, out-time, ATB) or reader disabled.

Yellow and red indicate facility error (Client or site code incorrect) or format error (number of bits or parity error). Flashing red indicates booth/interlock busy.

Interlock busy.

When booth sequence is in progress or a door is open or unlocked in interlock mode, the output is activated.
