The modular 1-Wire temperature sensor are delivered with a RJ-45 connector for easy connection to the modular 1-Wire network via a combiner or splitter allowing easy installation in any application. The temperature sensor offers an accuracy of typical +/- 0.5ºC and ranges from –55ºC to +125ºC.
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.
