DS2740 - Man Page

read-write, binary
Access to the full 256 byte memory range. Much of this space is reserved or special use. User space is the page area.
See the Datasheet for a full memory map.

write-only, yes-no
Controls the PIO pin allowing external switching.
Writing "1" turns the PIO pin on (conducting). Writing "0" makes the pin non-conducting. The logical state of the voltage can be read with the sensed property. This will reflect the current voltage at the pin, not the value sent to PIO
Note also that PIO will also be altered by the power-status of the DS2670 See the datasheet for details.

read-only, yes-no
The logical voltage at the Pio pin. Useful only if the Pio property is set to "0" (non-conducting).
Value will be 0 or 1 depending on the voltage threshold.

read-only, floating point
Current sensor reading (unknown external resistor). Measures the voltage gradient between the Vis pins. Units are in Volts
The vis readings are integrated over time to provide the volthours property.
The current reading is derived from vis assuming the internal 25 mOhm resistor is employed. There is no way to know this through software.

read-only, floating point
Current sensor reading (unknown external resistor). Measures the voltage gradient between the Vis pins. Units are in Volts
The vis readings are integrated over time to provide the volthours property.
The vis_B is from a different tuning of the DS2740 (3) chip with faster sampling and lower resolution. There is no way to know this through software.

read-write, floating point
Integral of vis over time. Units are in volthours

read-write, yes-no
Bit flags corresponding to various battery management functions of the chip. See the Datasheet for details of the identically named entries.
In general, writing "0" corresponds to a 0 bit value, and non-zero corresponds to a 1 bit value.
Default power-on state for the corresponding properties.

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 DS2740 (3) is a class of battery charging controllers. This chip measures voltage and volthours, and has a pin that can be used for control.
