DS18S20 - Man Page

read-only,yes-no
Is the chip powered externally (=1) or from the parasitically from the data bus (=0)?

read-only, floating point
Measured temperature with 12 bit resolution.

read-only, floating point
Measured temperature at 9 to 12 bit resolution. There is a tradeoff of time versus accuracy in the temperature measurement.

read-only, floating point
Measured temperature at 9 to 12 bit resolution, depending on the resolution of the latest conversion on this chip. Reading this node will never trigger a temperature conversion. Intended for use in conjunction with /simultaneous/temperature.

read-only, floating point
Equivalent to temperature9

read-write, integer
Shows or sets the lower limit for the high temperature alarm state.

read-write, integer
Shows or sets the upper limit for the low temperature alarm state.

read-only,ascii
Two character manufacturing die lot. "B6" "B7" or "C2"

read-write,unsigned integer
32 bit trim value in the EEPROM of the chip. When written, it does not seem to read back. Used for a production problem in the B7 die.

Read allowed for all chips. Only the B7 chips can be written.

read-write,yes-no
Writing non-zero (=1) puts a default trim value in the chip. Only applied to the B7 die. Reading will be true (non-zero) if trim value is the blanket value. Again, only B7 chips will register true, and since the written trim values cannot be read, this value may have little utility.

read-only,yes-no
Is the trim value in the valid range? Non-zero if true, which includes all non-B7 chips.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

The DS18S20 (3) is one of several available 1-wire temperature sensors. It has been largely replaced by the DS18B20 (3) and DS1822 (3) as well as temperature/vlotage measurements in the DS2436 (3) and DS2438 (3). For truly versatile temperature measurements, see the protean DS1921 (3) Thermachron (3).
