SPECIAL PROPERTIES

25   power
26       read-only,yes-no
27       Is  the chip powered externally (=1) or from the parasitically from the
28       data bus (=0)?
29
30   temperature
31       read-only, floating point
32       Measured temperature with 12 bit resolution.
33
34   temperature9 temperature10 temperature11 temperature12
35       read-only, floating point
36       Measured temperature at 9 to 12 bit resolution. There is a tradeoff  of
37       time versus accuracy in the temperature measurement.
38
39   latesttemp
40       read-only, floating point
41       Measured  temperature at 9 to 12 bit resolution, depending on the reso‐
42       lution of the latest conversion on this chip. Reading  this  node  will
43       never trigger a temperature conversion. Intended for use in conjunction
44       with /simultaneous/temperature.
45
46   fasttemp
47       read-only, floating point
48       Equivalent to temperature9

TEMPERATURE ALARM LIMITS

51       When the device exceeds either temphigh or templow temperature  thresh‐
52       old  the  device  is  in  the alarm state, and will appear in the alarm
53       directory. This provides an easy way to poll for temperatures that  are
54       unsafe, especially if simultaneous temperature conversion is done.
55
56       Units for the temperature alarms are in the same temperature scale that
57       was set for temperature measurements.
58
59       Temperature thresholds are stored in non-volatile  memory  and  persist
60       until changed, even if power is lost.
61
62   temphigh
63       read-write, integer
64       Shows or sets the lower limit for the high temperature alarm state.
65
66   templow
67       read-write, integer
68       Shows or sets the upper limit for the low temperature alarm state.
69

TEMPERATURE RESOLUTION DEFAULT VALUE

71   tempres
72       read-write, integer
73       The  device employs a non-volatile memory to store the default tempera‐
74       ture resolution (9, 10, 11 or 12 bits) to be  applied  after  power-up.
75       This is useful if you use simultaneous temperature conversions. Reading
76       this node gives you the value stored in the non-volatile memory.  Writ‐
77       ing sets a new power-on resolution value.
78
79       As  a  side effect, reading this node resets the temperature resolution
80       used by simultaneous temperature conversions to its power-on value.  It
81       also affects the resolution value used by latesttemp, to scale the lat‐
82       est conversion value, so make sure to re-sample the temperature  before
83       accessing latesttemp after writing or reading the tempres value.
84

TEMPERATURE ERRATA

86       There  are  a  group  of obscure internal properties exposed to protect
87       against an hardware defect in certain batches of the  B7  die  of  some
88       DS18x20  chips.  See  http://www.1wire.org/en-us/pg_18.html  or request
89       AN247.pdf from Dallas directly.
90
91   errata/die
92       read-only,ascii
93       Two character manufacturing die lot. "B6" "B7" or "C2"
94
95   errata/trim
96       read-write,unsigned integer
97       32 bit trim value in the EEPROM of the chip. When written, it does  not
98       seem to read back. Used for a production problem in the B7 die.
99
100       Read allowed for all chips. Only the B7 chips can be written.
101
102   errata/trimblanket
103       read-write,yes-no
104       Writing  non-zero  (=1)  puts  a  default  trim value in the chip. Only
105       applied to the B7 die.  Reading will be true (non-zero) if  trim  value
106       is  the  blanket  value.  Again,  only B7 chips will register true, and
107       since the written trim values cannot be read, this value may have  lit‐
108       tle utility.
109
110   errata/trimvalid
111       read-only,yes-no
112       Is  the trim value in the valid range? Non-zero if true, which includes
113       all non-B7 chips.
114

DESCRIPTION

165   1-Wire
166       1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufac‐
167       tured  by  Dallas  Semiconductor, Inc. The bus is a low-power low-speed
168       low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.
169
170       Each device is uniquely and unalterably  numbered  during  manufacture.
171       There  are a wide variety of devices, including memory, sensors (humid‐
172       ity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data
173       loggers.  More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built
174       with these basic devices. There  are  also  1-wire  devices  that  have
175       encryption included.
176
177       The  1-wire  scheme uses a single bus master and multiple slaves on the
178       same wire. The bus master initiates all communication. The  slaves  can
179       be individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.
180
181       Bus  masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, par‐
182       allel, i2c, network or USB adapters.
183
184   OWFS design
185       OWFS is a suite of programs that designed to make the  1-wire  bus  and
186       its  devices easily accessible. The underlying principle is to create a
187       virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being  the  directory,  and  the
188       individual  properties  of  the  device are represented as simple files
189       that can be read and written.
190
191       Details of the individual slave or master design are  hidden  behind  a
192       consistent interface. The goal is to provide an easy set of tools for a
193       software designer to create monitoring or control  applications.  There
194       are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data
195       caching, parallel access to bus masters, and aggregation of device com‐
196       munication.  Still the fundamental goal has been ease of use, flexibil‐
197       ity and correctness rather than speed.
198
199   DS18B20
200       The DS18B20 (3) is one of several available 1-wire temperature sensors.
201       It  is  the replacement for the DS18S20 (3) Alternatives are DS1822 (3)
202       as well as temperature/voltage  measurements  in  the  DS2436  (3)  and
203       DS2438 (3).  For truly versatile temperature measurements, see the pro‐
204       tean DS1921 (3) Thermachron (3).
205
206       The MAX31820 is functionally identical to the DS18B20 except  for  it's
207       voltage requirements.
208       The DS18B20 (3) can select between 4 resolutions. In general, high res‐
209       olution is the best choice unless your application is  truly  time-con‐
210       strained.
211

ADDRESSING

213       All  1-wire  devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This
214       address is of the form:
215
216       Family Code
217              8 bits
218
219       Address
220              48 bits
221
222       CRC    8 bits
223
224       Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:
225
226              01.123456789ABC
227
228       where 01 is an example 8-bit family code, and 12345678ABC is an example
229       48 bit address.
230
231       The  dot  is  optional,  and the CRC code can included. If included, it
232       must be correct.
