1-Wire
By the USB connection of EIBPORT it will be possible, in connection with the 1-wire-adapter, to access the cheap sensor technology of the 1-wire product line.
By 1-wire job, you can assign a group address to the 1-wire sensors in EIBPORT and a name. For every job, 8 sensors can be integrated.
Note: For information on which 1-Wire sensors are supported in the EIBPORT job, please refer to the list "Implemented 1-Wire devices.pdf" which is available separately.
Job Name
Required field. Assign a unique name for the job. The name must not contain more than 15 characters.
Release object
By release object, job will be released or blocked. It is an EIS1 object.
Group address not assigned = Job released
Group address registered, value 1 = Job released
Group address registered, value 0 = Job blocked
Group address registered, no value = Job blocked
As soon as some address was entered in the field, release will work respectively to the value of the group address. In case no value was sent to the address until now, address is also currently without a value, job is blocked.
Units refreshing
1-wire units will be loaded by starting the job. The list of 1-wire units can be brought up to date manually, by the function “Units Refreshing”. This function is necessary, if a 1-wire unit was connected after starting the job.
Job Editor Classic – Job mask 1-Wire
All recognized 1-wire units are available in this selection box. With the arrow besides, a name can be assigned to the serial number.
Sensor type
Use this selection box to define the type of the selected sensor. For current information, please refer to the compatibility list for 1-Wire which is available separately. Contact info@bab-tec.de to request this document.
Presence: With this option you can verify whether a sensor is available on the bus or not. Usually, this is used for iButtons. However, this function can also be used to check other sensor for defects.
Temperature (supported by several sensor types)
Humidity (supported by several sensor types)
Atmospheric pressure (supported by several sensor types)
Brightness / light (supported by several sensor types)
Current
Voltage
Dew point
Heat index
Humidity index
Hg
Cyclical Transmitting
The value of a sensor, and also its presence, can be sent cyclical. At that, the interval of cycle will be many times higher than the 1 – wire refreshing time, which is indicated in ConfigTool. (Chapter 9.1.2.2)
Sensor available/ Sensor not available
Here adjusted parameter will be sent, if a 1-wire user is available on the bus / not available on the bus.
Available EIS types in case of presence
EIS 1 (1Bit),
EIS 14 (1Byte unsigned)
Available EIS types for temperature, wetness, air pressure and brightness.
EIS 5 (2 Byte FP),
EIS 9 (4 Byte FP)
