Mismatch
The “Family First” search command does not find any devices with the same family
codes
O
Or’ed
Binary logic “or”. There are five 1-Wire® busses (one internal and four external) that are
logically or’ed into a single composite 1-Wire® bus. Software written for the Maxim
Integrated DS2480B/9097U interface will work even though the 1-Wire® devices are
physically on separate busses. Each external bus on the LinkHub-S can be up to 1,000
feet long, while external busses on the Link, LinkOEM, and LinkUSB can be up to 3,000
feet long. This yields a logical 1-Wire® network of 4,000 feet with four times the
network weight of a standard 1-Wire® bus.
Overshoot
The “Family First” search command has started back at the beginning of the list of
devices already found
P
Parasitic power
A power supply for a device taken directly from the 1-Wire® interface.
Presence pulse
How a device shows that it is present on the bus
R
RTS
Ready to send; the Link12/12i and Link45/45i also use this to provide power.
S
Serial port communications API
Application programming interface; supplies libraries of software to use in an application
Slaves
Sensors that communicate with the master
Sniffer
Device that watches the communications; way to observe 1-Wire® traffic
