89C51 Based Digital Thermometer Using DS1820

Introduction

The hardware configuration when
using multiple 1-Wire temperature sensors like the DS1820 is very simple, as
illustrated in the block diagram below. A single-wire bus is used for
communication between the microcontroller and the temperature sensor. It is
also possible to power the devices direclty via this 1-Wire bus. An almost
unlimited number of 1-WireTM devices can be connected to the bus because each
device has a unique 64-bit ROM code identifier which is used to address each
sensor

 

Temperature measurement using DS1820
sensor. Use of ‘1-wire’ protocol...

Temperature measurement is one of the most common tasks
performed by the microcontroller. A DS1820 sensor is used for measurement here.
It is capable of measuring temperature in the range of -55 °C to 125 °C with
0.5 °C accuracy. For the purpose of transferring data to the microcontroller, a
special type of serial communication called 1-wire is used.

Due to a simple and wide use of these sensors, commands used
to run and control them are in the form of functions stored in the One_Wire
library. There are three functions in total:

• Ow_Reset
  is used for reseting sensor;


• Ow_Read
  is used for receiving data from sensor; and


• Ow_Write
  is used for sending commands to sensor.

Concretely, you don’t have to study documentation provided
by the manufacturer in order to use this sensor. It is sufficient to copy some
of these functions in the program.

OneWire
Library

The OneWire library provides
routines for communication via the Dallas OneWire protocol, e.g. with DS18x20
digital thermometer. OneWire is a Master/Slave protocol, and all communication
cabling required is a single wire. OneWire enabled devices should have open
collector drivers (with single pull-up resistor) on the shared data line.

Slave devices on the OneWire bus can
even get their power supply from data line. For detailed schematic see device
datasheet.

Some basic characteristics of this
protocol are:

• single master system,


• low cost,


• low transfer rates (up to 16 kbps),


• fairly long distances (up to 300 meters),


• small data transfer packages.

Each OneWire device has also a
unique 64-bit registration number (8-bit device type, 48-bit serial number and
8-bit CRC), so multiple slaves can co-exist on the same bus.

Note: Oscillator frequency Fosc needs to be at least 8MHz
in order to use the routines with Dallas digital thermometers.

Ow_Reset

Prototype	unsigned short Ow_Reset();
Returns	0 if the device is present 1 if the device is not present
Description	Issues OneWire reset signal for DS18x20. Parameters : None.
Requires	Devices compliant with the Dallas OneWire protocol. Global variable OW_Bit must be defined before using this function.
Example	// Issue Reset signal on One-Wire Bus Ow_Reset();

Ow_Read

Prototype	unsigned short Ow_Read();
Returns	Data read from an external device over the OneWire bus.
Description	Reads one byte of data via the OneWire bus.
Requires	Devices compliant with the Dallas OneWire protocol. Global variable OW_Bit must be defined before using this function.
Example	// Read a byte from the One-Wire Bus unsigned short read_data; ... read_data = Ow_Read();

Ow_Write

Prototype	void Ow_Write(char par);
Returns	Nothing.
Description	Writes one byte of data via the OneWire bus. Parameters : par: data to be written
Requires	Devices compliant with the Dallas OneWire protocol. Global variable OW_Bit must be defined before using this function.
Example	// Send a byte to the One-Wire Bus Ow_Write(0xCC);

Circuit

Code

This example reads the temperature
using DS18x20 connected to pin P1.2. After reset, MCU obtains temperature from
the sensor and prints it on the Lcd. Make sure to pull-up P1.2 line and to turn
off the P1 leds.
