Your argument is good as you have two data wires and no ground
connection in that case. The same when the slave circuits are powered by
local batteries.

*BUT* this only works when the host ground is *not connected* to earth,
not even by a noise filter. As soon it is, your circuit isn't symetrical
anymore as one of your two data wires (the "ground") is tighter coupled
to earth than the other, and subsequently picks up noise more eagerly.
Which destroys the loop's cancellation effect.

You can try to minimize that effect by mounting your twisted pair
(again) on a pole and avoid shielding at any cost.


Kind regards

Re: [Owfs-developers] Ocean Temperature

[Martin Patzak (GMX)]

Peter,

we used to make our splices ourselves, to adapt them to our special 
needs and to avoid any connectors whatsoever.


In aggressive enviroment like seawater we would use stainless tubing to 
encase the splicing as well as to house the sensor itself.
Then we did fill the tube with 2 component epoxy and for faster and 
bubble-free curing we put this into an oven to cure for an hour or so at 
100 Celsius - but that depents on the epoxy you use


Cheers,

Martin

And what about when you have an out-and-back path through the same CAT5, to 
maintain a single chain and avoid a "star" configuration? Or when you have 
other signals (relay coils!) in the same CAT5? I can't say I've tried the 
experiment of putting ground and data on different twisted pairs, but since I 
eliminated all the star branching from my (parasitic) bus (which always keeps 
data and ground on the same twisted pair) I can go for months of reading every 
ten seconds without a single error. Despite the total path now being much 
longer due to out-and-back. 
 
One other trick that seemed to help stop the last few rare errors on this long, 
perilous route was adding termination on the far end - a (reverse biased) 
1N5711 Schottky diode and a 1.5KE20A-T TVS in parallel. 

I know, separate cables for 1-wire would be better, but it seems no matter how 
much cable I pull around this house, there is never enough!

I have loads of star branching, but I provide power to every device. 

As I extend it, when it goes flakey, I just add another DS9490R and split off 
another section of bus.

Absolutely agree on there never being enough cable.

Hm, not sure.  With inductive loop pickup is it not right that the
noise is not relative to ground, but is around the loop, so it is not
trying to get to ground, just round the loop.  So I am not sure
whether capacitance to ground is relevant.

The noise has a certain power which flows into these voltage sources. So
it's either high voltage at low current or high current at low voltage.

If and how much ground capacitance is relevant depends on the frequency
of the noise. R_c = 1/(2*pi*f*C), calculate for yourself. Given f=1MHz,
C=1nF, it's 160 Ohms. That's smaller than the 1.5kOhms of the pullup
resistor. The load resistance of the open circuit of a slave
(master,too) is very high for onewire, megaohms, so it doesn't matter
for the above calculation.

Kind regards

Jan

Don't follow that.  We are talking about series mode inductive loop
pickup not common mode (or at least I am).  Provided it is only
earthed at one point (which should be the case for all 1-wire
circuits) I don't see it makes any difference to the series mode
pickup.  I am not an expert in this area by any means though so am
happy to be further educated.

The beauty of 1Wire is that ALL sensors share lines. Theoretically as 
many 1Wire devices as you want can be daisy chained, as they all have 
unique IDs. Three wires only required: Data, 5V, GND.


Pinout on 8P8C:
2 +5V DC Power
3 Ground (Green/White)
4 1-Wire Data (Blue)

I have a couple of these pictures around the shop, seem COM1:

Re: [Owfs-developers] Hub Suggestions

[Colin Reese]

Piece of cake. You do need a board to solder them to because the package 
is so small. This is what I use on my Pis - you can see the DS2483 at 
upper left. This board has that white jumper there because I had to cut 
a trace:

Then you just enable the i2c interface through raspi-config, run 
owserver with the i2c option, and you're set. You've saved about $29 and 
a USB port.

Only the USB bus masters are expensive.

DS2483 I2C master is about a buck.

Multidrop with splitters is the beauty of 1Wire, so take advantage
of it!

I'm surprised at the high cost of bus masters.

This 1wire network will never have more than three sensors.

Any hub suggestions?

Thank you,
