Barix - TS

Barix TS is an encapsulated 1-wire temperature sensor for home automation, commercial control and monitoring applications.

Using the industry standard Dallas 1-wire over 2-wire with “parasite power” the sensor can be attached to 1-wire capable controllers.

Using the Dallas 1-wire bus architecture installers can reduce costs when multiple measuring points in a single room have to be connectedas a cable with two wires is sufficient.

For central temperature control of several rooms or buildings Barix offers the Barix X8 extension unit which converts the 1-wire bus to an RS-485 bus using the industry standard Modbus/RTU protocol. The RS-485 bus needs a 4-wire cable, carries power to the Bario net X8 extension units eliminating the need of a local power supply, and can be connected to a standard Modbus controller.

Using a Barix Barionet as the Modbus controller, the Barix X8 can be controlled by a local Basic application (BCL) as well as remotely using TCP, UDP, Modbus/TCP and SNMP and allows reading of all sensors using a standard web browser.

Each Barix X8 can read up to 16 Barix TS temperature sensors and up to 31 Barix extension units can be directly connected to a Modbus Master and can be increased to up to 250 devices using standard RS-485 repeaters. This gives a total amount of 496 sensors or a total of 4000 sensors when using repaters.
