DS1000-100 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum cable length for the 1-Wire bus?
  The maximum cable length for the 1-Wire bus is 100 meters, but it can be extended up to 300 meters using repeaters.
• How do I handle multiple devices on the same 1-Wire bus?
  You can use the unique 64-bit ROM ID of each device to address and communicate with individual devices on the same bus.
• What is the power consumption of the DS1000-100?
  The power consumption of the DS1000-100 is typically around 1.5mA during active operation, and less than 1µA in standby mode.
• Can I use the DS1000-100 in a multi-master environment?
  Yes, the DS1000-100 supports multi-master operation, allowing multiple masters to communicate with devices on the same 1-Wire bus.
• How do I ensure data integrity on the 1-Wire bus?
  The DS1000-100 uses a 16-bit CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) to ensure data integrity on the 1-Wire bus.
