iButton Reader
Xirgo Global devices support iButton readers, working based on 1Wire or Wiegand26 communication protocol.
This equipment is supported by following devices of FMS series: Light, Light+, StCAN, Tacho, XtCAN.
I. Operating with iButton Reader via 1Wire.
a) Physical connection.
Connect Reader as in schematics below:
Connect white wire of iButton Reader to 1Wire interface of device (brown wire). Gray wire - connect to Ground. Such connection is enough to read IDs and send them to the platform.
Note. Ibutton reader has integrated LED, so if you want to use it, need to connect more wires: Brown - is plus of Red LED, Green - plus of Green LED, Yellow - ground for LEDs. Plus of LED should be connected using resistor of 1kOhm (in 12V systems) or 5kOhm (in 24V systems).
b) Adjustments in Logic Template.
To configure device to work with external equipment, need to make adjustments in Logic template, assigned to your device. Check here: iButton Reader configuration.
c) Displaying in Monitoring platform.
iButton ID will come in dallas_id parameter in hex format.
II. Operating with iButton reader and Temperature sensor via 1Wire.
a) Physical connection.
Connect equipment as in schematics below:
Connect Black and Red wires of Temperature sensor - to Ground, Yellow - to 1 Wire.
Connect white wire of iButton Reader to 1Wire interface of device (brown wire). Gray wire - connect to Ground. Such connection is enough to read IDs and send them to the platform.
Note. Ibutton reader has integrated LED, so if you want to use it, need to connect more wires: Brown - is plus of Red LED, Green - plus of Green LED, Yellow - ground for LEDs. Plus of LED should be connected using resistor of 1kOhm (in 12V systems) or 5kOhm (in 24V systems).
b) Adjustments in Logic Template.
To configure device to work with external equipment, need to make adjustments in Logic template, assigned to your device. Check here: iButton Reader configuration.
c) Displaying in Monitoring platform.
Temperature will come in dallas_temp parameter. To get in C degrees - multiply to 0.1 and substract 273.
iButton ID will come in dallas_id parameter in hex format.
