Software
We recommend the use of the latest FTDI- and TEMX driver. We do not recommend the use of any driver that
has beta status. Once the FTDI driver is installed, the 1-Wire Bus Coupler with USB interface is available as
software-based serial bus coupler. The 1 Wire Bus Coupler USB can be operated with any software, that is
aligned to operate the COM Port a
dapter „DS9097“.
The 1-Wire Bus Coupler is being operated with 9600 Baud and settings of 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. As
1-Wire interface for the 1-Wire Bus Coupler a Maxim Chip DS2480 is used.
The 1-Wire Bus Coupler was tested with the following software:
IP-Symcon, 1-Wire Viewer (Windows), FHEM
Note:
The „Strong Pullup“ function must be activated.

USB-Connection cable
Please note, that the cable length is limited to 5 m in maximum for the USB data cable among the 1-Wire Bus
Coupler and the PC interface. To bridge USB cable sections of 30 to 50 meters, USB long distance extension
cables are offered in our webshop. These long distance extension cables use a CAT5, CAT6 or CAT7 network
cable for data transfer. This network cable cannot be connected with a TCP/IP network or a hub/switch network.

Windows power management for USB ports
As soon as the Virtual Com Port Driver is installed, the 1-Wire Bus Coupler USB may break down after several
hours of operation. This may be caused by the Windows Power Management settings for USB ports. The
energy saving mode is activated in Windows basic settings. To operate the 1-Wire Bus Coupler USB, these
settings must be deactivated.
In Windows7, WHS and Server 2008, the drivers are to be installed with admin rights.
