MicroLAN Coupler

## NAME

**DS2409** - MicroLAN Coupler

## SYNOPSIS

1-wire network branch controller.

**1F** \[.\]XXXXXXXXXXXX\[XX\]\[/\[ **aux** \| **branch.\[0\|1\|ALL\|BYTE\]** \| **control** \| **discharge** \| **event.\[0\|1\|ALL\|BYTE\]** \| **clearevent** \| **main** \| **sensed.\[0\|1\|ALL\|BYTE\]** \| **address** \| **crc8** \| **id** \| **locator** \| **r\_address** \| **r\_id** \| **r\_locator** \| **type** \]\]

## FAMILY CODE

*1F*

## SPECIAL PROPERTIES

### aux

*directory*\
 This is the *aux* branch of the *DS2409* network branch. It is implicitly accessed (via the *aux smart-on* command) when it is listed or devices on this branch are addressed.

### branch.0 branch.1 branch.ALL branch.BYTE

*read-write, yes-no*\
 Writing a value of *1* to the branch properties explicitly selects the meant branch ( *0=main* or *1=aux* ). Writing  *0* deselects the branch. This is an addition to the directory branch selection scheme available by simply accessing the *main* and *aux* directories. Both ways to select a branch coexist nicely but the latest scheme used wins. Attempting to select both branches, either by setting both bits at the same time or subsequently, fails. Clearing both branch selection bits, either by clearing both bits at the same time or subsequently, resets the event flags inside the *DS2409* as a side effect. Reading the branch properties returns which branch (if any) is connected to the master bus.

**After using the directory branch selection scheme, both branches are deselected automatically.**

*ALL* is an aggregate of the properties, comma separated. It is an atomic operation.\
 *BYTE* is an aggregate of the branches as a byte, *main* is bit 0. It is an atomic operation.

### control

*read-write, unsigned integer*\
 Setting of the PIO *control* pin. There are 4 possible settings:

- **0**

  Unconditionally off (non-conducting)

- **1**

  Unconditionally on (conducting)

- **2**

  Auto on when *main* branch switched in

- **3**

  Auto on when *aux* branch switched in

### discharge

*write-only, yes-no*\
 Writing a non-zero value to this property will electrically reset both the main and auxiliary branches of the 1-wire bus by dropping power for 100 milliseconds. All devices on those branches will lose parasitic power and reset to power-up defaults. As a side effect, both *event* flags and thus, the alarm state, are cleared, too.

### event.0 event.1 event.ALL event.BYTE

*read-only, yes-no*\
 Has the *event* flag for the branch been triggered? A negative edge on the disconnected branch ( *0=main* or *1=aux* ) sets the flag. This is achieved by e.g. connecting an iButton to the branch. Value returned is 1 (yes) or 0 (no).

After accessing the  *main* or *aux* directory, both branches are deselected automatically and thus, the event flags and alarm state are cleared.

*ALL* is an aggregate of the properties, comma separated. It is an atomic operation.\
 *BYTE* is an aggregate of the branches as a byte, *main* is bit 0. It is an atomic operation.

### clearevent

*write-only, yes-no*\
 Writing a non-zero value to this property will reset both *event* flags and thus, clear the alarm state, too.\

### main

*directory*\
 This is the *main* branch of the *DS2409* network branch. It is implicitly accessed (via the *main smart-on* command) when it is listed or devices on this branch are addressed.

### sensed.0 sensed.1 sensed.ALL sensed.BYTE

*read-only, yes-no*\
 Voltage sensed at the *0=main* or *1=aux* branch pin. Valid only when the branch is switched out. Value returned is 0 (low) or 1 (high).

*ALL* is an aggregate of the properties, comma separated. It is an atomic operation.\
 *BYTE* is an aggregate of the branches as a byte, *main* is bit 0. It is an atomic operation.

## STANDARD PROPERTIES

### address

### r\_address

*read-only, ascii*\
 The entire 64-bit unique ID. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).\
 *address* starts with the *family* code\
 *r address* is the *address* in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.

### crc8

*read-only, ascii*\
 The 8-bit error correction portion. Uses cyclic redundancy check. Computed from the preceding 56 bits of the unique ID number. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

### family

*read-only, ascii*\
 The 8-bit family code. Unique to each *type* of device. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

### id

### r\_id

*read-only, ascii*\
 The 48-bit middle portion of the unique ID number. Does not include the family code or CRC. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).\
 *r id* is the *id* in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.

### locator

### r\_locator

*read-only, ascii*\
 Uses an extension of the 1-wire design from iButtonLink company that associated 1-wire physical connections with a unique 1-wire code. If the connection is behind a **Link Locator** the *locator will show a unique 8-byte number (16 character hexadecimal) starting with family code FE.*\
 If no **Link Locator** is between the device and the master, the *locator* field will be all FF.\
 *r locator* is the *locator* in reverse order.

### present (DEPRECATED)

*read-only, yes-no*\
 Is the device currently *present* on the 1-wire bus?

### type

*read-only, ascii*\
 Part name assigned by Dallas Semi. E.g. *DS2401* Alternative packaging (iButton vs chip) will not be distiguished.

## ALARMS

The *DS2409* will respond to a conditional search if the  *main* event flag is set.

## DESCRIPTION

### 1-Wire

*1-wire* is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc. The bus is a low-power low-speed low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.

Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a wide variety of devices, including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data loggers. More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices. There are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included.

The 1-wire scheme uses a single  *bus master* and multiple *slaves* on the same wire. The bus master initiates all communication. The slaves can be  individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.

Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c, network or USB adapters.

### OWFS design

*OWFS* is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its devices easily accessible. The underlying principle is to create a virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the individual properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and written.

Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent interface. The goal is to  provide an easy set of tools for a software designer to create monitoring or control applications. There  are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to bus  masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundamental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and correctness rather than speed.

### DS2409

The **DS2409 (3)** allows complex 1-wire network topology. Each branch has it's power preserved, even when isolated from the master. A separate PIO pin can be configured to show branch switching, or controlled explicitly.

## ADDRESSING

All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the form:

- **Family Code**

  8 bits

- **Address**

  48 bits

- **CRC**

  8 bits

-

  Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:

-

  **01.123456789ABC**

where **01** is an example 8-bit family code, and **12345678ABC** is an example 48 bit address.

The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be correct.
