Product description
We call the product a 1-Wire Extender or Distribution Module. However, the terms patch panel, extender, data
distributor or terminal board are also used.
The 1-Wire Extender 4 is designed as a distributor for 1-Wire networks. Due to the 7 push-in terminals no tools
are necessary for the connection. With the 1-Wire Extender 4, the installation and cabling of 1-Wire networks in
linear topology is greatly accelerated and extremely simplified. The 1-Wire Extender 4
can be used, for example, as a central distributor after a 1-Wire bus coupler / 1-Wire controller or 1-Wire hub.
By fitting an 8-pin modular socket, several 1-Wire Extenders 4 can be elegantly connected via
CAT network cables can be connected via a 1-Wire Extension 2 distributor.
The 1-Wire Extender 4 is ideally suited for sub-distribution boards or floor distributors in combination with
DIN rail modules.
The various
1-Wire Extenders
form a coordinated cabling system.
For coupling to control systems, we recommend the use of an ESERA 1-Wire controller. This simplifies the
software connection enormously due to the many automatic functions.
No software is required for this module.
