Attention! Firmware Management mode (FMM)
The TR515 has two different modes of operation. Normal mode provides
regular device functionality. Firmware Management mode (FMM) is provided for
internal firmware checkup and upgrades (see Section 5).
The Normal mode is entered by powering the TR515 up while not pressing
the IN button. Switching the TR515 on while holding the IN button or both IN
and OUT buttons down forces the unit into the FMM. The FMM mode of
operation cannot be exited other than by switching the TR515 off and back on
again.

Wall-mount and desktop operation
The TR515 can be used either as a wall-mount (default, see Figure above)
or desktop device. Machine needs to be rotated 180 degrees when used on a
desk. For this reason, the TR515 comes with two different LED plates (with their
artworks rotated 180 degrees with respect to each other). Machine’s LED can
also display time and other data in a “normal” (wall-mount), or desktop fashion.
There is an orientation setting provided that allows you to select display mode
(see Section 4).
1. RS-232/485 Interface Versions
The TR515 supports two different interfaces: RS232 for single-terminal
communications, and RS485 for multi-terminal communications. Only one
TR515 can be attached to the PC’s serial port using the RS232 interface. Up to
32 units can be interconnected using the multi-terminal RS485
communications.`
RS232 arrangement is simple: just plug the RS232 cable (supplied) into the
TR515 and connect the other side to the PC’s serial port.
Using RS485 requires a special adaptor- CON485 (must be purchased
separately). CON485 is a “smart” RS232! RS485 converter that allows for
higher data transfer rates between the PC and TR515s.

TR515 User’s Manual
The RS485 network is of “bus” type- all TR515s are connected in parallel on
a so-called twisted pair bus. The most suitable cable for the bus is the one
normally used for Ethernet communications (twisted pair Cat. III or V). You only
need to use one twisted pair of wires inside the cable.
Note: depending on the cable type, up to 4 twisted pairs may be available, it
doesn’t matter which one you use, just make sure that you are using both wires
of the same wire pair.
To connect the TR515 to the twisted pair bus, cut the RS232 cable supplied
with each TR515 and locate 2 wires inside: Orange and Green. Attach each
wire to one of the wires on the twisted pair bus. Mind the polarity! Orange and
Green wires cannot be switched. It is recommended that you keep the length of
each “bus stem” (i.e. the cable that is used to attach a certain TR515 to the bus)
as short as possible, ideally under 10 cm (see the drawing below).
120
<10cm
485+

485Blue
485+ Green

#3
One side of the bus must be attached to the CON485: Orange connects to
pin #3, Green connects to pin #4.
Another side of the twisted pair bus must be properly terminated. This is
especially important for long buses. Standard termination resistor value is 120
Ohm.
Note: It is not always necessary to have the termination resistor. It
really depends on the actual wiring and connection circumstances.
Before testing the network, make sure that all Terminals and the CON485
are powered and that the CON485’s baudrate selector is in the 19200 position
(selector must be set prior to powering the CON485 up).
TR515RX’s interface connector pin assignment can be found in Appendix B.

2. Ethernet Interface Versions
The TR515EX is designed to attach directly to the RJ45 10BaseT Ethernet
connector. Standard magnetics circuitry (YCL part 20F001N) has been included
onboard to provide a “glueless” interface to the Ethernet network.
Most Ethernet installations require cables of substantial and variable length,
so you will probably need to make your own cables. For testing purposes
PROMAG supplies two kinds of Ethernet cables: device-to-hub (WAS-1499) for
connections through a standard Ethernet hub, and device-to-device (WAS-1498)
for connections without a hub (i.e. directly from one Ethernet device to another).

TR515 User’s Manual
Understanding machine numbers
For single-terminal RS232 communications, you needn’t specify your
TR515’s machine number.
For multi-terminal RS485 communications you must make sure that all
Terminals on the network have unique machines numbers. Machine number is
a network address that uniquely identifies the Terminal on the network. Having
two different Terminals on the network set up to the same machine number will
result in the inability to communicate with both Terminals.
Machine number can be in the 0 to 255 range (00-FF Hex). 0 is a universal
machine number- any Terminal responds to it regardless of this Terminal’s
actual machine number setting. Machine number of 0 can be used for RS232
communications- you only have a single Terminal in this case, so you can
address it with the universal number.
For multi-terminal RS485 communications, you’ll need to assign a unique
(and non-zero!) machine number to each Terminal on the network.
Assigning machine numbers
The TR515 offers a fast and convenient way of assigning machine numbers
in the range from 0 to 10. To assign a new machine number:
Power the Terminal down (unplug the power cord)
•
Press and hold the OUT button
•
Power the Terminal up while continuing to hold down the OUT button
•
After 2-3 seconds, the Terminal will beep and display its current
•
machine number, for example:
•
•
While still keeping the OUT button pressed, push the IN button
(several times if necessary) to change the machine number to the
desired value
When the desired machine number is displayed, release the OUT
button- the Terminal will resume normal operation
This method allows you to set the numbers in the 0-10 range only (which
would actually cover most of the actual installation requirements). If you need to
set the machine number to, say, 25, then you will have to follow this procedure:
Connect the TR515 to the PC using the RS232 cable
•
Launch the TR515 Control Center software and select the Terminal
•

TR515 User’s Manual
•
•
#0 (i.e. use the universal machine number to address the Terminal)
Use the “Set M#” button to set the new machine number for this
Terminal
Unplug the RS232 cable and put the Terminal back on the RS485
network.
Note: machine number is displayed briefly at the Terminal power-up (even if
you don’t push the OUT button).
Bell relay
The TR515 features a built-in bell relay. The relay is capable of controlling a
low-power external bell. A daily bell schedule of up to 32 different bell times can
be defined.
NO COM NC
Relay connector is located under the metal back plate. Figure above shows
connector position and pin assignment. Both Normally Closed (N.C.) and
Normally Opened (N.O.) contacts are provided.
Locking event selection (IN or OUT)
By default, the TR515 allows the User to choose the desired event (IN or
OUT) prior to reading the ID-card. There is a setting provided that allows event
selection to be fixed either at IN or OUT (see Section 4). This arrangement may
be desirable in case several TR515s are used, with some machines installed at
the entrance and serving for registering IN events, and some machines installed
at the exit and serving for OUT registration only. Fixing the event prevents the
User from choosing an alternative event at the moment of reading ID-card.

TR515 User’s Manual
2. Using the TR515
Clocking in and out
To register an event (IN or OUT), push the appropriate button and read your
ID-card. For the TR515R (RFID version), the card is read by bringing it close to
the reader (< 8 cm). For the TR515M, TR515B, and TR515F (Magnetic, Visible
Barcode and IR Barcode respectively), the card is read by swiping it in either
direction along the reader slot. For the machine orientation shown on figure of
page 3, magnetic (barcode) stripe of the ID-card must face downwards.
Note: the TR515 can be programmed to fix event selection to IN or OUT
only- in this case event selection won’t work!
The last four digits of the ID-cards ID-code are displayed on the LED when
the ID-card is read. Four dashes are displayed in case of read error (only
applicable to the TR515M):
Memory full status
When the database memory is full, new records cannot be added. Reading
an ID-card will produce a long beep and a “FULL” message:
Error conditions
The TR515 can detect and notify you of a number of different error conditions.
Please refer to Appendix A for complete list of all possible errors.
Normal operation of the TR515 is suspended upon encountering an error
condition other than “card read error”. New records cannot be added to the
database in this situation. Communications with the TR515 from the PC side is
still possible, however. This gives you an opportunity to access the TR515
online and attempt to correct the problem.

TR515 User’s Manual
3. Communications protocol
The TR515 communications protocol is based on the GNET protocol
specification. Communications parameters are 19200-8-N-1.
Communications between the TR515 and the PC takes place in the form of
commands sent by the PC and replies from the TR515. Commands and replies
are packets of data. Each packet begins with an STX (02H) character and ends
with CR (0DH) character. Selected commands and replies include a checksum
field as an additional safety measure. All characters between the STX and the
CR characters must be in the 20H...7FH range.
The STX character of a command packets is followed by a one-character
command code. The STX character of a reply packet is followed by a onecharacter reply code. Both command and reply packets may contain some
relevant data after the command (reply) character:
STX
02H
Cmd/Rpl
code
C1
Data (if any)
C2
CR
Checksum*
0DH
*Checksum field is not included into certain commands and replies
All available commands are described later in this Section. Of reply codes,
only two are possible: ‘A’ (completed successfully) and ‘N’ (some error was
encountered). Depending on the command given to the TR515, reply packets
with reply code ‘A’ may contain some data (as shown on the Figure above).
Reply packets with the reply code ‘N’ always contain a 2-digit error code that
can be used to analyze the source of a problem.
The checksum is an 8-bit sum of all characters between the STX and CR,
represented as a 2-character HEX string. For an example packet below, the
checksum is calculated as follows. The data part of the packet is “A1XYZ”. The
sum of these character codes is: 41H+31H+58H+59H+5AH=17DH. Eight least
significant bits contain 7DH. The string representation of this value is “7D” (i.e. 2
ASCII characters- ‘7’ and ‘D’).

ANN,TR515
NN is a machine (terminal) number in Hex form (00H-FFH), 00H is a
“universal” number (see below for details).
‘D’ is a special command. It is used to select a particular TR515 terminal.
All terminals power up in a “deselected” state. Each terminal ignores all
incoming commands until it receives the D-command whose machine number is
either equal to the machine number of this terminal, or 00. After that, the
terminal switches into “selected” state and responds to all subsequent
commands until new D-command with a different machine number is issued.
Thus, the D-command should always be used to initiate communications
between the host and the designated TR515.
Note: the TR515 never returns any error codes in reply to this command.
This holds true for both “Illegal command” error and “Command failed” error.
The former is not responded to, because when there is some discrepancy in the
format of the D-command issued by the Host (which can only be in the Machine
Number field), no particular terminal can be “sure” that it is being addressed.
Therefore, no terminal on the network assumes responsibility for sending a
reply. “Command failed” situation can only arise because of incorrect machine
number setting value in the TR515 memory. In this case, the terminal will be
unable to compare its internal machine number with the one supplied in the Dcommand. Hence, the Terminal will not be able to make sure that it is being
addressed.
Since 00 is a universal machine number, it works with any terminal. Use it
only when you have a single terminal connected to the host. Universal machine
number also comes handy during initial terminal setup (to assign a unique
machine number to the terminal prior to placing it on a multi-terminal network).
The terminal replies with its actual machine number even if you address it
using 00. The only exception is when the terminal is unable to retrieve its own
machine number due to some internal malfunction. Reply will contain 00 instead
of an actual machine number in this case.

This command is used to retrieve the database record with a specified
number. Record number must be supplied in Hex format, leading zeroes must
be preserved or error 04 will be returned. Record numbers start from 0000.
Specifying record number beyond N-1 (where N is the number of records in the
database returned by the N-command) will cause error 06.
Returned data string contains the record number, ID-code of the ID-card
that was used to create this record, event code (i.e. which button was pressed),
and the date and time of record creation.
The TR515 verifies all database records before sending them out to the PC.
This is done because the FLASH memory may actually contain a garbage data.
There is a special M-command that lets you initialize the database in such a
way that it appears to be 100% full (you can “recover” entire database memory
contents then). Naturally, some database records may turn out to contain
invalid data.
Database record validity is verified on a field-by-field basis. Should the field
turn out to be invalid, its contents are substituted for a “safe” default data:
•
ID-code. If ID-code turns out to contain illegal characters (i.e. with
codes outside of 20H-7FH range), then these characters are
substituted for “_”. If ID-code length is outside of valid margins (<1 or
>40) then entire ID-code is substituted for the following code:
“0000000000” (ten ‘0’ characters)
nd
•
Date. If the date is invalid (i.e. December, 32 ) then default date
(1999/01/01) is used
•
Time. If the time is invalid (i.e. 24:00:00) then default time is used
•
Event. if Event code exceeds 1, then this field is substituted for “0”.

First, set the desired time; select a time register that you haven’t used yet
(i.e. 05H). Set the time using the following command: “C05,1200”. Next, enable
this time through a corresponding enable/disable register. The corresponding
enable/disable register for time register 05H is 25H (time registers start from
02H, enable/disable registers start from 22H, we use the 4th register of each
group). Enable command looks like this: “C25,01”.

TR515 User’s Manual
This setting defines if the TR515 will allow the User to choose the event (IN
or OUT), or event selection will be fixed to IN only or OUT only. Fixing event
may be desirable in case several TR515s are used, with some machines
installed at the entrance and serving for registering IN events, and some
machines installed at the exit and serving for OUT registration only.
5. Firmware Management mode
The TR515 also features new Firmware Management mode (FMM). FMM
allows you to quickly upgrade your TR515’s internal firmware and also check
validity of the currently loaded firmware. Contact your dealer for the most recent
firmware upgrade files.
FMM itself has two sub-modes of operation: FMM/download mode and
FMM/check mode. FMM/download is entered by keeping the IN button pressed
while the TR515 is powering up. FMM/check mode is entered by holding both IN
and OUT buttons pressed while the TR515 is powering up.
Downloading new firmware (FMM/download)
To upgrade the firmware, you will need a new firmware file and a terminal
software for PC capable of transferring files using Xmodem protocol (Checksum
version).
All TR515 firmware files have a fixed size of exactly 64K (65536 bytes)
The list of popular and widely available terminal programs includes
HyperTerminal for Windows, QModem, and Term95. Procedure below
assumes the use of HyperTerminal which is a part of a standard Windows95/98 distribution.
To upgrade the TR515’s internal firmware:
•
Switch the TR515 off
•
Make sure that the TR515 and the PC are interconnected with a serial
cable
•
Launch HyperTerminal and configure it as follows:
o
When Connection Description dialog opens, type any string (1
character minimum) and press OK
o
When Connect to dialog opens, select an appropriate COM port
from the Connect Using drop-down box (for example, “Direct to
20
TR515 User’s Manual
•
•
•
COM1”)
When COMx Properties dialog appears, set communications
o
parameters as follows: Bits per second: 19200, Data bits: 8,
Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow control: None
The HyperTerminal’s main window will appear
o
Choose Transfer!
!Send file from the Main menu- the Send file
dialog will appear
In the Send file dialog, select the file you want to download and
choose Xmodem protocol from the Protocol drop-down box
The Xmodem file send for dialog will be displayed
•
Press and hold the IN button, then power up the TR515 while still
keeping the IN button pressed. The unit will generate a long beep and
display “FLLD” (FLASH Load):
•
When receiving the file, the TR515 will blink its IN LED (the LED is on
while the TR515 is receiving or expecting to receive a block of data
from the PC; the LED is off while the TR515 is programming the data
received into its internal FLASH memory)
Once the downloading is finished, the TR515 will execute one long
beep and display “DONE”:
•
•
You may start using the newly downloaded firmware after switching
the unit off and back on again.
A number of errors may occur during the download. Errors are displayed in
the ”ERRx” format, where x is the error number, for example:
In addition, the TR515 generates a beep pattern comprised of a long beep
followed by one or several short beeps. The number of beeps corresponds to
the error number.
All possible download-related error codes are listed in the table below:
Err1
Communications error (invalid data received from the PC). The
most probable cause of this error is incorrect communications
parameters you’ve set in the HyperTerminal
Err2
The download file is too big (exceeds 64K). All TR515 firmware
21
TR515 User’s Manual
files must be exactly 64K in size. Make sure you are trying to
downloading a correct one
Err3
FLASH memory failure. This normally indicates a serious internal
malfunction
The LED display is turned off after displaying the message for some time.
22
TR515 User’s Manual
Finally, there is a timeout error that occurs when you start the download but
PC doesn’t send any data (or the TR515 cannot receive the data sent by the
PC). This happens when you either set communications parameters of the
HyperTerminal incorrectly or if you switch the TR515 on (with the IN button
pressed) before starting the XMODEM on the PC side (it should always be the
other way around: start XMODEM first, then switch the TR515 on).
The timeout error is indicated by a long beep and four dashes displayed by
the LED:
Checking existing firmware (FMM/check)
To check if the currently downloaded application firmware is valid:
•
Switch the TR515 off
•
Press and hold both IN and OUT buttons, then switch the TR515
back on (while keeping both buttons pressed). The unit will generate
a long beep and display “FLCH” (FLASH check):
•
Memory checkup takes about 5 seconds to complete. OUT LED is on
while check is in progress. Upon test completion, the TR515 will
either display “DONE” in case the FLASH memory contains a valid
program, or “Err4” if internal program code is invalid.
6. Test mode
The TR515 provides a hardware Test mode that can be initiated by issuing
a Z-command (see Section 3).
Warning! Hardware test destroys the database contents (not just
deletes it logically), so the data cannot be recovered even using the Mcommand! The test mode also sets a so-called Reset flag: the TR515 will
be completely reinitialized on the next power-up after the test.
Once initiated, the Test mode cannot be exited other than by switching the
TR515 off.
The Test mode is comprised of two phases. Phase 1 performs automated
SRAM, RTC (real-time clock) and FLASH memory tests. Phase 2 consists of
manual button and reader tests.
23
TR515 User’s Manual
Phase 1 begins immediately upon entering the Test mode. The LED
displays “TEST” at this time:
A number of errors can occur during this portion of the test: All errors are
displayed in the “ERRx” format, where x is the error number, for example:
All possible errors are listed in the table below:
Err1
SRAM test failure
Err2
RTC test failure
Err3
FLASH test failure
Upon successful completion of the automated tests, the TR515 will beep
and display “b1-5” (OUT LED will be switched on):
This means that the manual test phase has commenced. This phase
consists of three steps: OUT button test, IN button test, and reader test. Each
step must be repeated five times.
Press the OUT button and notice that “b1-5” changes to “b1-4”, “b1-3”, etc.
When you press the OUT button for the fifth time, the display will change to
“b2-5” and the IN LED will be switched on. Press the IN button five times to
finish this test step.
The display reads “rd-5” at the beginning of the reader test. Read any IDcard five times to pass this portion of the test.
When all manual tests are finished, the TR515 will generate a long beep
and display “PASS”:
This indicates that the test sequence has been completed successfully. You
can still continue testing the buttons and the reader at this point. The TR515 will
behave as if in the Normal Mode of operation, but no records will be added to
the database.
