1 Clickable knob controlling the user interface

2 LCD display for the user interface

SD memory card slot

4 Infrared sensor for remote control

5 Activity LED

6 Power supply input

7 USB host receptacle for USB flash drive

The ChronoPlayer makes it possible to play WAV or MP audio files stored locally (SD card or USB flash drive),

through programming (with the file organization or a Scheduler timetable), or interactively (with the input contacts or

the RS-2 2 serial link). The player is provided with a mains adapter and an infrared remote control.

This guide explains how to quickly start the player up for the first use. See the user guide, the software, the

examples, etc. on the support page of the ChronoPlayer on www.id-al.com.

2 Preparation of the Storage Device

Choose a quality SD / SDHC card or USB flash drive, and format it as

FAT 2. Store on it the configuration files and the audio contents

according to the organization demanded by the player, an example of

which is given opposite. Do not use special or accented characters.

•Files at the root of the storage device:

◦config.txt (optional): configuration file of the player. See

the chapter Configuration File.

◦serial.txt (optional): file defining the serial frames to

send. See the chapter RS-2 2 Serial Link.

◦.tm2 file (optional): timestamped programming file to

generate with our Scheduler software.

•Organization of the folders at the root:

◦No subfolders allowed.

◦Naming: xxx [TAG1][TAG2] Name

▪xxx: folder no. from 000 to 999 used by the commands.

The AutoPlay feature uses the 000 folder.

▪[TAGx] (optional): tags controlling the playback. See

the chapter Folder and File Tags.

▪Name (optional): folder name (free).

•Organization of the audio files in the folders:

◦Format: WAV or MP .

◦Naming: xxx [TAG1][TAG2] Name.ext

▪xxx: file no. from 001 to 999 defining the playback

order in sequential mode. Optional and unused in

random mode.

▪[TAGx] (optional): tags controlling the playback. See

the chapter Folder and File Tags.

▪Name (optional): filename (free).

▪ext: wav or mp3 extension.

3 Connection of the Inputs

The 8 inputs are used to generate events. Triggering devices can be

connected to these inputs (e.g.: push-button, presence sensor, relay, PLC,

SensoPad). These devices must behave like open or closed contacts

between an input and the ground of the player, the activation being triggered

by a closed contact. The activation states (0 for open or 1 for closed) of all the

inputs are combined to form a binary code identifying the generated event:

xxx combination=Input1+Input2×2+Input3×4+Input4×8

+Input5×16+Input6×32+Input7×64+Input8×128

A command is assigned to each event. By default, the INPUTxxx event resulting from the xxx combination value

of the inputs is associated with the launch of the playback of the xxx folder. The config.txt file allows to change

the commands assigned to the 15 first combinations.

Up to 8 combinations (001, 002, 004, 008, 016, 0 2, 064, 128), the triggering devices can be directly connected to

the inputs. Beyond, a circuit based on diodes can be used:

6.2 Configuration ile

The config.txt configuration file is a raw text file placed at the root of the storage device. Each line can define a

parameter of the player according to the following table:

Parameter Definition Valid Values Default Value Description

#ID:xxx 001 to 127 001 RS-2 2 ID of the player.

#VOLUME:xx 00 to 64 Last used value Volume of the player on startup.

#RS_MONITORING:x 0: no monitoring

Command Parameter Description

Min Max

PLAY Play the last played file.

STOP Stop the playback.

NEXT_TRACK Play the next file of the current folder.

PREV_TRACK Play the previous file of the current folder.

VOLUME_PLUS Increase the volume by one step.

VOLUME_MINUS Decrease the volume by one step.

RSxxx 001 999 Send the #xxx RS-2 2 frame from the serial.txt file.

6.3 RS-232 Serial Link

This link allows the player to receive commands, to send arbitrary frames, and to send status information. By

default, it is configured as follows (can be changed with config.txt):

Baud Rate (bauds) Start Bit(s) Data Bit(s) Parity Bit(s) Stop Bit(s) Handshake

19200 1 8 0 1 None

The reception protocol is based on a -byte frame: “Status”, “Command”, and “Data”:

Status Description Command Description Data Description

80h All the players.

01h, 11h, 21h,

1h, 41h, 51h,

61h, and 71h

Jump to a folder in a bank of

128 folders.

command = bank × 10h + 1

00h to 7Fh Number of the folder in the bank.

81h to FFh

Only the player

with the ID from

001 to 127.

02h Playback control.

01h Play the last played file.

02h Stop the playback.

0 h Play the next file of the current folder.

04h Play the previous file of the current folder.

0 h Volume control. 00h to 40h Volume value.

Arbitrary frames can be sent with the [RSxxx] tag and the inputs. These frames must be defined in the

serial.txt file at the root of the storage device, as #xxx:tt tt tt…, with one definition per line, e.g.:

#002:98 75 21 35 45 B2

The monitoring protocol is structured like the reception protocol. The status byte has the same meaning. This

protocol sends the following command and data bytes, according to the mode selected by the config.txt file:

Mode Description Command Data Description

0No

monitoring The player only sends the frames from the serial.txt file.

1 Daisy Chain The player forwards everything it receives.

2 Monitoring 00h

00h Player ready. Sent at power-on.

Sent upon event.

0 h Start of playback.

04h End of playback.

Advanced

Monitoring 00h

00h Player ready. Sent at power-on.

0 h Start of playback.

04h End of playback.

01h Stopped. Sent every 250 ms, except if the player is unavailable

because of some issue.

02h Playing.

6.4 irmware Update
