Ubuntu Manpage: DS2423 - 4kbit 1-Wire RAM with Counter

NAME

       DS2423 - 4kbit 1-Wire RAM with Counter

SYNOPSIS

       RAM and counters.

       1D   [.]XXXXXXXXXXXX[XX][/[   counter.[A|B|ALL]   |   memory   |  pages/page.[0-15|ALL]  |
       pages/count.[0-15|ALL] | address | crc8 | id | locator | r_address | r_id  |  r_locator  |
       type ]]

FAMILY CODE

1D

SPECIAL PROPERTIES

   counter.A counter.B counter.ALL
       read-only, unsigned integer
       Debounced  external  counter.  Associated  with  RAM  page.14  and  page.15  Note: counter
       increments only. It is reset when the chip loses power.
       ALL returns the two values, separated by a comma. They are read sequentially.

       The property was called counters prior to OWFS version 2.9p1 and the old name is invisibly
       recognized for backwards compatibility.

   memory
       read-write, binary
       512 bytes of memory.

   pages/page.0 ... pages/page.15 pages/page.ALL
       read-write, binary
       Memory  is  split  into  16  pages of 32 bytes each. Memory is RAM, contents are lost when
       power is lost.  ALL is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.

   pages/count.0 ... pages/count.15 pages/count.ALL
       read-only, unsigned integer

       Write access to each page  of  memory.  Actually  only  page.12  and  page.13  have  write
       counters.
       page14  and page.15 ´s counters are associated with the external counters.A and counters.B
       triggers.
       The value 0xFFFFFFFF is returned for pages/count.0 through pages/count.11
       ALL is an aggregate of the counters, comma separated. Each page is accessed sequentially.

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

       None.

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 fundemental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and
correctness rather than speed.

DS2423
The DS2423 (3) is used for its counters. The internal counters (associated with pages 12
and 13) can detect memory tampering.

The external counters A and B page been used in circuit design, such as a wind anometer.
OWFS system handles this automatically.

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.
