Auto-E-Connect System
With the launch of the ECO controllers, the ESERA Auto-E-Connect® 1-Wire Plug and Play system for the
1-Wire Bus is now introduced and supported.
This means that fully automatic configuration of the 1-Wire Devices* (sensors and actuators) on the
1-Wire Bus is now possible.
It is optimised for commercial and industrial applications and enables significant added value beyond sensor
and chip data.
The Auto-E-Connect function is built up in three levels. Currently there are Level I, Level II and Level III
available.
With Auto-E-Connect Level III, fully automatic configurations of the 1-Wire Devices on the
1-Wire Bus are possible. It is optimised for industrial and IoT applications and enables significant added
value beyond sensor and chip data.
With the Auto-E-Connect function, ESERA Devices are recognised fully automatically, suitable libraries are
started and ready-formatted data is output.
The Auto-E-Connect functionality will be available for the ECO Controller and ESERA-Station 200 Pro from
2021.
Auto-E-Connect Level I
OWD Detect
: detection of new sensors* and actuators* and automatic start of adapted libraries.
Auto-E-Connect Level II
Visualisation product data
: reading out and visualising of the Auto-E-Connect and manufacturer data of
sensors* and actuators*, e.g. article number, date of manufacture, firmware and hardware version.
Auto-E-Connect Level III
Extended Plug and Play System for 1-Wire Bus
o
Pre Configuration
: The OWD number for the next installation can be written to the 1-Wire Device*.
o
Automatic Positioning
: The Device* logs on to each ECO Controller with Auto-E-Connect III with the new
desired OWD number. This automatic login works up to the maximum possible OWD number of the
ECO Controller.
o
Sensorfinder Function: The
ECO Controller can activate a status LED within the ESERA 1-Wire Pro
sensors*. The status LED flashes or lights up continuously for a certain time. This makes it much easier to
detect a device in a 1-Wire Network. Faster detection saves a lot of time and therefore money when
searching for a 1-Wire Device.
o
Classes Assignment
: ESERA 1-Wire Devices are assigned to OWD classes with the same properties. This
assignment enables fully automatic visualisation and data evaluation in control systems. A class list is
available from ESERA
.

ESERA Config Tool 3.
Auto-E-Connect is registered by ESERA GmbH as a German and European Patent.
