Modular 1-Wire

Modular 1-Wire concept

The modular 1-Wire concept is offering high flexibility and customization for a wide range of applications utilizing multiple 1-Wire devices. The 1-Wire concept is based on building blocks such as combiners, splitters and unit interface cables connected together with standard and widely available RJ45 UTP cable technology.

Unit interface cables are available which connect the RTCU unit to a splitter or combiner, that again connects to branches with more splitters and combiners and at the end-points of this arbitrary topology various lengths of 1-Wire devices such temperature sensors or ID-button readers can be connected. As the backbone is based on standard RJ45 UTP cable technology expanding a network can easily be achieved.

Modular 1-Wire unit interface cable

The modular 1-Wire interface cable makes the physical bridge to the modular 1-Wire network. The modular network can easily be customized with the use of standard RJ-45 splitters and combiners to achieve the needed 1-Wire network. Multiple 1-Wire devices such as temperature sensors and ID-Button readers can be connected to one RTCU unit.

The modular 1-Wire interface cables are available for the NX-200, LX2/MX2 series, the NX-900 series and the CX1 warp. The modular 1-Wire interface are delivered with a RJ-45 connector for easy connection to a combiner if only a single 1-Wire device is connected. For multiple 1-Wire devices a splitter can be used. No external power supply is required as the 1-Wire devices derives power directly from the 1-Wire bus simplifying installation.

The communication between the RTCU unit and the temperature sensor is done through the 1-Wire interface, requiring only a single wire and a ground to establish the data connection. No external power supply is needed as the temperature sensor derives power directly from the 1-wire bus simplifying application set-up. From the RTCU application temperatures are measured with a simple function similar to the known board temperature function. The temperature sensor has a unique factory-lasered 64-bit serial number allowing connection of multiple temperature sensors on the same 1-Wire bus.

Please consult the RTCU IDE on-line help for more information about the supported 1-Wire Temperature Sensor functions.

The Modular 1-Wire temperature sensor can be delivered in two length; 3 or 10 meters of cable with a RJ-45 for easy installation into the modular 1-Wire network. If another length is required the modular 1-Wire network is easy expandable with a combiner or splitter and standard UTP network cable.
