4 Channel Hub

Hobby Boards 4 Channel Hub


The 4-channel hub has:
  • RJ45 connections
  • Passthru connector for the main branch
  • 4 branches
    • electrically isolated
    • short tolerant
    • individually switchable (on/off)
    • LED to indicate branch on
    • Power from external source or 1-wire cable (and power injector)

Unlike the DS2409-based Microlan hubs, devices on the branches appear on the main list.

Example with a temperature sensor on the branch:

DS2409

1F.1234134134
|-- aux
|-- main
|-- |-- 10.123454323
...

4-Channel Hub (with branch 0 on)

EF.1234123434
10.12454323

4-Channel Hub (with branch 0 off)

EF.1234123434
The controls for the 2-channel Hub are very simple:
To read or write status:
EF.1234323424/hub/branch.0
EF.1234323424/hub/branch.1
EF.1234323424/hub/branch.2
EF.1234323424/hub/branch.3
EF.1234323424/hub/branch.ALL # a comma separated list of branch status
EF.1234323424/hub/branch.BYTE # binary number of the status (15=all on, 2=only branch.1 on)
To see if there is an electrical short on the branch, read
EF.1234323424/hub/short.0
EF.1234323424/hub/short.1
EF.1234323424/hub/short.2
EF.1234323424/hub/short.3
EF.1234323424/hub/short.ALL # a comma separated list of branch shorts
EF.1234323424/hub/short.BYTE
