TTJ Temperature sensor
One of the implemented features for fleet management devices is a 1-Wire data protocol, which enables the connection of temperature sensors. It is a perfect accessory for temperature monitoring.
TTJ IS A SOLUTION FOR FLEET MANAGEMENT TRACKER IN FOLLOWING CASES:
- Thermostatic controls – maintain temperature near a desired set point.
- Thermally sensitive system – receive alerts when temperature enters or leaves pre-defined value.
- Consumer products – be assured that the goods which you are delivering will maintain high quality.
Description
The TTJ Temperature sensor provides 9-bit Celsius temperature measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The TTJ communicates over a 1-Wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor. It has an operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C and is accurate to ±0,5°C over the range of –10°C to +85°C. In addition, the TTJ can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external power supply. Each TTJ has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple TTJ sensors to function on the same 1-Wire bus. Thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many TTJs distributed over a large area. Applications that can benefit from this feature include HVAC environmental controls, temperature monitoring systems inside buildings, equipment, or machinery, and process monitoring and control systems.

Configuration
On the FMB unit, TTJ sensor parameters are configured as I/O element parameters: Dallas temperature and Dallas temperature ID.
The configuration procedure is as other I/O element (for example: FMB120_I/O_settings)
