Applications

• The audio player EPS110/ RS485 is designed for permanently installed PA systems and is suitable for a wide range of applications (repro-duction of music and control of announcements). It offers extensive functions for reproducing audio files in WAV and
• MP3 format from a memory card. The audio player is triggered by events, such as control signals at the seven switching inputs or user-defined control commands via the RS-485 interface. The control program also allows action delay of up to 60 seconds. In response to events, strings that can be defined as desired can be sent via the RS-485 interface in addition to the reproduction functions.
• The device is programmed via an XML file located on the memory card. This file can be easily created using the PC software “Monacor Infotainment Configurator”.

Installation

Mounting

• The housing is designed as a top hat DIN rail module for quick instal-lation in an electrical enclosure or distribution board.
• Use the clips on the back of the housing to fix the module on a top hat DIN rail

Electrical Connection

• The connection is made via three plug-in terminal blocks (1 – 3), each with 8 push-in spring terminals. These terminals are suitable for connecting finely stranded conductors or solid conductors with a cross-section of 0.2 to 1.5 mm². The terminal blocks are keyed to avoid confusion.

Audio outputs

• Use terminal block X3 (3) to connect the audio outputs of EPS110/ RS485 to the audio inputs of the device that follows (e.g. an amplifier EPS32). Contacts 19 – 21 provide the signal of the left stereo channel; con-tacts 22 – 24 provide the signal of the right stereo channel. The audio outputs are balanced.
• For connection to unbalanced signal inputs, only use the terminals + and ⏚. The audio outputs can also be used to directly connect head-phones (impedance ≥16 Ω).

CAUTION

• Always ensure that the volume is not too high, especially when using headphones. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing!

Switching inputs

• Terminal block X2 (2) provides 7 switching inputs for controlling EPS110/ RS485. These inputs can be used, for example, to connect pushbuttons that will connect the corresponding input to the reference voltage at contact 16.

Switching output for reproduction

• The open collector output (type H) at contact 18 of terminal block X3 (3) can be used, for example, to control an amplifier. This output is active while an audio file is being played or while replay is paused. The maximum load of this output is 24 V/ 300 mA.

Serial interface RS-485

• For communication via the serial interface RS-485, connect the com-munication partner to the connections DATA+ (terminal 06) and DATA− (terminal 07) on terminal block X1 (1).

Power supply

• For power supply, connect the terminals “24 V ⊕” (contact 01 or 02) and “24 V ⊖“ (contact 03 or 04) at terminal block X1 (1) to a DC voltage source. Observe the polarity!

Memory card

• The audio files to be played and the configuration file to control EPS110/ RS485 must be made available on a memory card that is inserted into the slot (4). For this purpose, MMC / SD/ SDHC memory cards with a maximum capacity of 32 GB are suitable.
• The card must be formatted in FAT32.
• Note: Due to the large number of storage device manufacturers and device drivers, it cannot be guaranteed that all memory cards are compatible with the audio player.

Audio files

• The following audio formats will be supported:
• MPEG1 Layer 3 (MP3): Stereo, 44.1 kHz, 32 … 256 kbit /s
• WAV: Stereo 16-bit PCM, 44.1 kHz
• The file names may only have up to 8 characters (plus extension .mp3 or .wav). The files may be organised in folders with subfolders, but these subfolders should not exceed a folder depth of 4. The name of a folder may also consist of a maximum of 8 characters. The maximum possible path length is 100 characters. Do not use spaces or special characters when assigning names to files and folders.

Playlists

• In order to play audio files automatically in a specific order or in random order, simple M3U playlists can be used. These playlists are simple text files with the file name extension “.m3u”, listing the tracks (files) to be played one beneath the other, for example:
• audio1.mp3
• audio2.mp3
• audio3.mp3
• audio4.mp3
• When the audio files and the playlist file are in the same folder, only the file names need to be included in the playlist (see example above). When the audio files and the playlist file are not in the same folder, the list must also contain the paths of the audio files, for example: /folder1/audio1.mp3 /folder2/audio2.mp3
• The special character “\” can also be used to separate folders. Without a leading “/” or “\”, the path specification is relative and refers to the storage location of the playlist file.
• It is possible to play the tracks of a playlist in random order via the device setting “Shuffle Playlist = on” (☞ chapter 5.1.5).

Configuration file

• The configuration file config.xml for the control procedure of EPS110/ RS485 must be in the root directory of the memory card. Creation of this file is described in chapter 5.1.
• Note: When the operating voltage is applied, the configuration file will be read. To make sure that a modified configuration file is adopted, briefly disconnect the device from the supply voltage and then reconnect it.

Control

• EPS110/ RS485 can be controlled via its switching inputs to which, for example, control buttons are connected. Furthermore, the audio player will be able to respond to control commands received via the RS-485 interface. A resulting action of EPS110/ RS485 may be, for example, replay of a specific audio file or transmission of a certain string via the RS-485 interface. A configuration file, easily created via the program “Monacor Infotainment Configurator”, will define which events lead to which actions of the audio player.
• Download the program via the MONACOR ACADEMY [(www.monacor.de](http://\(www.monacor.de) ⇒ Academy) and execute the installation file to install the program on your computer.
• The following system requirements apply to the computer:

Hardware:

• minimum RAM: 4 GB
• CPU > 2 GHz
• DotNet Framework from 4.8
• minimum resolution: 1024 × 768 pixels
• Operating system: Windows 7, Windows 10
• Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the USA and other countries.

Creating a configuration file

• After starting the configuration program, a program list will be dis-played on the left (fig. 3). Now events can be added to the list and the desired actions of EPS110/ RS485 in response to these events. Following the description of the functions, an application example is shown in Chapter 6.

Adding an event

• Use the button ”Add Event” to add a new row for an event.
• The type of event (Event Type) can now be further specified under “Event Configuration” on the right:

To generate an event, the signals of  multiple inputs  can be logically linked (e . g . AND operation when ☑ is set for multiple inputs).

COM| reception of a defined string via the RS-485 interface

Note: The event type COM is only available when the option “Common Com-Port” is selected in the device settings (Device ⇒ Settings) under

“Com Multifunction configuration”(☞ chapter 5.1.5).

Init| switching on EPS110/RS485 (applying the supply voltage)
Player| time to be specified while playing a track
SdCard| inserting or removing the memory card

Note: The options not described here are irrelevant for EPS110/ RS485.

• Depending on the event type, more specific settings can be made under “Specific Event Configuration”. Under “Binary”, for example, the switching inputs to be considered as events for evaluation are defined and if the event is to be triggered, for example, by a rising edge (Rising_Edge) of the input signal (i. e. when a button is pressed). Under “Com”, the string received that is considered as an event must be defined.
• In the section “Event Configuration”, the input field “Description” can be used for a comment explaining this event.

Adding an action

• Use the button “Add Action” to add a new row for an action in response to an event. It is also possible to add multiple action rows for an event.
• The type of action (Action Type) can now be further specified under “Action Configuration” on the right:

Note: The action type COM is only available when the option “Common Com-Port” is selected in the device settings (Device ⇒ Settings) under

“Com Multifunction configuration”(☞ chapter 5.1.5).

Player| Replay control: e . g . play audio file, stop replay, select audio file, adjust volume, etc .

A description of all commands can be found below .

• Note: The options not described here are irrelevant for EPS110/ RS485.
• For each action, a start with a delay of up to 6 seconds can be defined via “Delay time for Action”.
• In the section “Action Configuration”, the input field “Description” can be used for a comment explaining this action.
• The “Player” control offers the following commands:

time, the replay will pause and the position will be saved . When the action is triggered again, replay will continue from the position saved .
Play/Resume| Resume after pause . The current position is queried and continued from there; if no position is available, the track will start from the beginning . .
Pause| Pause replay – position will be saved
Command| Description
---|---
Next| Skip to next track
Prev| Skip to previous track
File| Preselection of a track . The track path will be saved to the memory, but the track will not be played . In response to a file command, a simple play command will start the track from the memory .
Fast Forward| Fast forward of current track
Rewind| Fast rewind of current track
Next Folder| Skip to next folder
Prev Folder| Skip to previous folder
Volume Up| Volume up (start volume adjustment)
Volume Down| Volume down (start volume adjustment)
Volume Stop| Stop volume adjustment
Volume Up Left| Volume up, left channel (start volume adjustment)
Volume Down Left| Volume down, left channel (start volume adjust- ment)
Volume Stop Left| Stop volume adjustment, left channel
Volume Up Right| Volume up, right channel (start volume adjustment)
Volume Down Right| Volume down, right channel (start volume adjust- ment)
Volume Stop Right| Stop volume adjustment, right channel
Volume Set| Direct setting of volume

• Notes: With the function Play/ Pause, a button that will alternately switch between Play and Pause can be used for control. With the functions Play/ Resume and Pause, however, two different buttons can be assigned; one button for Play and another button for Pause.
• For each command, a deviation from the basic device setting (Device ⇒ Settings, ☞ chapter 5.1.5) can be achieved with the option “Loop mode” for the repeat mode. The default setting “noChange” means that this command will not change the current repeat mode.

File paths

• For commands allowing or requiring the specification of an audio file, the button “browse File …” or “browse …” can be used to select the audio file. Please note that the file path entered in the field “File config” must correspond to the actual path of the file on the memory card. If necessary, manually correct the path entered in the field.
• Paths can be specified absolutely with a leading “/”, for example as: /folder1/audio1.mp3
• If there is no preceding “/”, the input will be interpreted relative to the current path, i. e. relative to the root directory, if no other path has been selected yet.

Removing an event row or action row

• The button “Remove” is used to remove the row currently selected from the list. When an event is removed, any associated actions will also be removed.

Input of strings

• When using the RS-485 interface, enter the strings to be defined for transmission and reception into the corresponding input fields “Transmitted String”, “String which causes the Event” or “Terminate String”. Instead of directly entering a character, it is also possible to enter its (ASCII) code. To do this, enter the “%” character followed by a two-digit hexadecimal value. The letters A – F can be written in upper or lower case. For one-digit values, a leading 0 must be entered. Thus, the “Line Feed” character, for example, is represented by “%0A”. In order to enter the “%” sign, its code must be entered: “%25”.

Transfer of file names and paths

• Instead of entering the name and path of the audio file to be played in the “File config” field, it is also possible to add this information to the string triggering the event by using the variable “<evt: … >”. Thus, for example, the composition of the audio files on the memory card can be changed subsequently without having to adapt the configuration file. The following example uses a combination of events and actions to show how this method is applied.

☑ Allow Com Extension Com Port = Com1

String which causes the Event = play_

A| Action type = Player, Delay time for action = 0 Command = Start, Loop mode = off

File config =

(the field “File config” remains empty!)

• To play, for example, the file “audio1.mp3” in the folder “folder1”, the following string must be sent via the RS-485 interface: play_<evt:/folder1/audio1.mp3>
• The file “audio2.mp3” in the root directory can be played with  play_

Device settings

The menu item “Device ⇒ Settings“ can be used to make basic set-tings, such as play modes and interface settings. The following window will appear:

For EPS110/ RS485, only the settings under “Player Configuration” and “Com Multifunction Configuration” are relevant.

1. If the RS-485 interface is to be used, select the option “Com-mon Com-Port” behind “Com is used for …” and then make the interface settings match the interface of the other device under “Com Configuration”.
2. Under “Player Configuration”, set the desired preferences for reproduction.
3. Confirm the settings with “Ok”.

Settings for reproduction

• Fadeouttime
• Before the track currently playing has reached its end, it can be faded out for a defined period of time (possibly until the next track starts). To do this, the volume is slowly reduced during the fade-out time.
• 0 no fade-out = direct switching off/on (default setting)
• 1 … 254 fade-out time 1 – 254 s
• Shuffle Playlist
• Playing audio files in random order is only possible via playlists chapter 4.3.1.1). To play a playlist in random order, activate the function “Shuffle Playlist”. off shuffle mode off (default setting)
• The tracks of the playlist will be played in random order.
• This setting has no effect when playing a folder. Audio files within a folder will always be played in alphanumeric order.

Delayed Action Stop

• When the function “Delayed Action Stop” has been activated, trig-gering a new action will stop the execution of a delayed action whose delay time has not yet expired.
• off function off (default setting)
• on function on

Volume adjustment

• This value defines the initial volume when the power supply is switched on.
• 0 dB, no attenuation (default setting)
• 1 … −127 attenuation 1 – 127 dB

• This value has no significance for EPS110/ RS485.

Level step

• This value indicates the steps when adjusting the volume.
• 1 … 100 dB per step

Level delay

• The delay between steps when adjusting the volume.
• 0 … 5000 ms

Level speed

• Speed in dB/s when adjusting the volume.
• 0 … 100 dB/s

Track mode

• The track mode is set here. When calling up a playlist, the play mode is irrelevant.
• folder All audio files (tracks) of a selected folder and the corresponding subfolders will be played (default setting). The files will always be played in alphanumeric order.
• track Only a single track will be played.

Loop mode

• off Playing will stop at the end of the last track (default setting).
• on Depending on the play mode selected, the current track (track mode = track) or the current folder (track mode = folder) will be repeated continuously. The files of a folder will always be played in alphanumeric order.

Skipmode

• The range for the skip commands NEXT and PREV is defined here. This setting is irrelevant when calling up a playlist.
• track A skip command is used to skip to the beginning of the current track and to play it again (default setting).
• folder The files from the current folder can be selected.

Skiploopmode

• off NEXT cannot be used to skip from the last track to the first track, and PREV cannot be used to skip from the first track to the last track (default setting).
• on NEXT can be used to skip from the last track to the first track, and PREV can be used to skip from the first track to the last track.

Settings for the RS-485 interface

• Baud rate (COM_BR)
  300 … 256 000 Baud rate

The following values can be selected:

• 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14 400, 19 200, 28 800, 38 400, 56 000, 57 600, 115 200, 128 000, 256 000 Bd

• 1/ 1.5 / 2 Number of stop bits for a character

• Parity (COM_PARITY)

• none

• even

• odd

• mark (parity bit always 1)

• space (parity bit always 0)

• Flow control (COM_FLOW_CTRL) none

• hardware flow control with RTS/CTS (not for RS-485)

• software software flow control (XON / XOFF)

• Receive Timeout (COM_TIME_REC)

• Receive timeout for a string. The reception of a string is terminated when no further character has been received during the time defined.
  0 no timeout (termination character required)

• 1 … 60 000 times in ms

• Sendpause after send (COM_TIME_TRA)

• The time between two strings.
  0 no pause

• 1 … 60 000 times in ms

Terminate string (COM _TERMINATE)

• Characters to terminate a string. It is possible to use 0 – 5 characters for termination. If no character is used, a receive timeout must be set; otherwise, reception of new strings will not be possible. The characters are entered directly or as a character code.

• The default setting for termination characters is “%0D%0A”, corresponding in hexadecimal to the usual control characters CR + LF (“Carriage Return” and “Line Feed”).
  Saving a configuration file

• Use the menu item “File ⇒ Save as …” to save the configuration to a desired location on the computer or SD card. If a configuration file that has been saved is loaded again with “File ⇒ Open …” and then modified, it can also be saved again to the original

• location with “File ⇒ Save”.

• To control EPS110/ RS485, the file saved must always have the name “config.xml” and be in the root directory of the memory card.

Example of Application

• A music player with buttons for direct selection and an option to adjust the volume is used as a configuration example. The send and receive functions of the RS-485 interface are also used.

Connections

• As described in chapter 4.2, connect the audio outputs to the inputs of an amplifier system or to headphones and connect a power supply.
• To control the music player, seven pushbuttons with normally open contacts are required. Connect each of these contacts to an input (contacts 09 … 15) and to contact 16 on terminal block X2 (2).

• For communication via the RS-485 serial interface, connect the communication partner (e. g. computer with terminal program) according to chapter 4.2.4.

Functional description

• In this example, the following functions are to be performed by EPS110/ RS485
• Two seconds after switching on the operating voltage, a switch-on tone will sound (e. g. as a short functional test for the amplifier system).
• After switching on the operating voltage, the message “EPS110/ RS485: Power on!” will be sent via the RS-485 interface.
• Button 1 is used to start playing the audio files in the folder “Music”. Replay can be paused and resumed at any time by repeatedly pressing the button.
• Button 2 is used to skip to the previous track within the folder.
• Button 3 is used to skip to the next track within the folder.
• Buttons 4 and 5 are used to directly play the audio files “Signal1.wav” and “Signal2.wav” (e. g. signal tones or announcements).
• When the command “Signal3” is received via the RS-485 interface, the audio file “Signal3.wav” will be played.
• To reduce or increase the volume, keep the button 6 or 7 pressed for a longer time.

Folder structure on the memory card

• The example is based on the following folder structure on the memory card: \Music \Song1.mp3 \[further mp3/ wav files with any names] ⋮ \Signal1\Signal1.wav \Signal2\Signal2.wav \Signal3\Signal3.wav \Start\tada.wav

Creating the configuration file

Basic settings

• For the basic settings, call up the menu item “Device ⇒ Settings”. Make sure that the following settings have been selected:
• Trackmode = folder
• Loopmode = off
• Skipmode = folder
• Note: The setting “Trackmode = folder” causes all files in a folder to be played one after the other. This is what is desired for the files in the folder “Music”. The signal files for direct selection and the file for the switch-on tone are to be played individually.
• Therefore, they must be in separate folders.
• The following volume settings can be modified if necessary.
• Volume Adjustment = −20 dB Level step = 1 dB
• Level delay = 1000 ms
• Level speed = 6 dB/s
• To use the serial interface, select the option “Com is used for Common com-Port” under “Com Multifunction configuration”.
• The settings under “Com Configuration” must be selected in such a way that they will match the settings of the communication partner. If the default setting for “Terminate string = %0D%0A” is maintained, it must be ensured that the device from which a com-mand is to be received always adds the control characters LF + CR to its transmissions.

Program list

• After starting the configuration program or after calling up the menu
• item “File ⇒ New ⇒ EPS110/RS485”, the first row of the program list will already contain an event called “Begin” (see fig. 3 “Start screen”).

1. Select this row and change the settings “Event Configuration” on the right to:
   • Event type = Init
   • On the left of the Event column, a power-on button will appear, symbolising the event of switching on the power supply.
2. To enter the action following the event, click on the button “Add Action”. A new row will be added for the action.
3. Adjust the settings “Action Configuration” shown on the right to: Action type = Player, Delay time for action = 2000 ms Command = Start, Loop mode = noChange
   • File config = /Start /tada.wav
4. Use “Add Action” to add another action with the following set-tings:
   • Action type = Com, Delay time for action = 0, Com Port = Com1 Transmitted string = EPS110/ RS485: Power on!
5. After that, always alternately add an event via “Add Event” and make the settings for this event. Then add and configure the action that follows via “Add Action”.
6. The table below shows all events (E) and actions (A) and the settings required.

Saving the configuration file

• Save the final configuration via the menu item “File ⇒ Save as…” as “config.xml” to the root directory of the memory card (or save it to the computer first and copy it to the memory card later). To allow EPS110/ RS485 to read the new configuration from the file, insert the SD card, briefly disconnect the device from the power supply and then reconnect it.

Firmware Update

To update the firmware:

1. Copy the firmware file to the root directory of the memory card.
2. Rename the file to “update.bin“.
3. Disconnect EPS110/ RS485 from the power supply.
