Product description
We call the product a 1-Wire Extender or distribution module. However, the terms patch panel, extender, data
distributor or terminal board are also used.
The 1-Wire Extender 3 is intended as a distributor for 1-Wire networks. The 7 push-in terminals mean that no
tools are required for connection. The 1-Wire Extender 3 greatly accelerates and extremely simplifies the
installation and cabling of 1-Wire networks. The 1-Wire Extender 3 can be used, for example, as a central
distributor after a bus coupler / controller or 1-Wire Hub.
Equipped with an 8-pole modular socket, several 1-Wire Extensions 3 can be elegantly connected by CAT
network cable can be connected via a 1-Wire Extension 2 distributor.
The 1-Wire Extension 3 is ideally suited for sub-distribution boards or floor distributors in combination with DIN rail
modules.
The various 1-Wire extenders form a coordinated cabling system.
For coupling to control systems, we recommend the use of an ESERA 1-Wire Controller. This simplifies the
software connection enormously due to the many automatic functions.
No software is required for this module.
