on safety instructions.
All settings and configurations of the ECB-100 can be carried out with the ESERA Config Tool 3 or by your own
application.
You can find this software on the ESERA website. Please observe the operating instructions for Config Tool 3,
which can be found within the Config Tool software under the "HELP/SUPPORT" tab.
2 Product description

Autonomous administration
The ECB-100 controller module has very compact dimensions to be able to equip many systems with a
powerful 1-Wire interface.
The ECB-100 is intended for the fully automatic and self-sufficient administration of a 1-Wire network. You no
longer need to worry about 1-Wire commands or formulas for the evaluation of sensor data.
The ECB-100 takes over all 1-Wire functions fully automatically.
It scans automatically for new 1-Wire devices (sensors, actuators, memory chips and iButton) and,
depending on the component found, outputs the corresponding data converted to plain text.
Data interface
You can communicate via ESERA ASCII or Modbus RTU data protocol with the ECB-100 via the UART
interface.
Formatted data output
The ECB-100 provides the sensor and actuator data ready prepared, e.g. for temperature sensors.
in C° cyclically. Only one dividing by 100 is necessary.
Designed for all 1-Wire networks
The 1-Wire interface of the ECB-100 1 is specially designed to handle small up to very large
1-Wire networks with long cable lengths. Mixed 1-Wire sensors can be operated in parasitic or normal mode
simultaneously.
The currently strongest 1-Wire interface for maximum data security even for complex network structures has
been installed.
System time / real time clock
You do not have a real-time clock with battery buffering in your system? No problem, the ECB-100 is happy
to provide the time and date. The real-time clock (RTC) is supplied by a maintenance-free gold cap (super
capacitor) for approx. 2 days in the event of a power failure.
What is a Goldcap (super capacitor)? An explanation can be found here:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superkondensator
Power supply
For the voltage supply of the ECB-100 module only a simple 5V DC voltage with min. 100mA load capacity is
required.
Commissioning
Support Videos for commissioning and configuration can be found on our website www.esera.de under
Service and Support, Support Videos.
Note: Basics and tips for the 1-Wire bus system can be found in the ESERA Online Shop at
1-Wire Basics or please refer to our eBook in the shop under Training/Documentation
3 Auto-E-Connect® Support
The ESERA Auto-E-Connect® 1-Wire Plug and Play system will be used for the
1-Wire Bus supported. This enables fully automatic configurations of 1-Wire sensors
and actuators on the 1-Wire bus. It is optimized for industrial applications and
enables significant added value beyond the sensor and chip data.
The Auto-E-Connect function automatically recognizes ESERA chips, sensors and actuators, starts suitable
libraries and outputs fully formatted data.
The Auto-E-Connect functionality will be available from mid 2020 via 1-Wire Controllers, 1-Wire Gateways and
1-Wire ECO from ESERA available.
Further information on ESERA Auto-E-Connect can be found on the ESERA website, ESERA Config-Tool 3, or in
the download area for this article in the ESERA Webshop.

12 Software, Data interface
Data interface with ESERA ASCII text protocol and Modbus RTU.
Communication with the ECB-100 takes place via the UART interface (RX, TX). With this interface you can
exchange data with the ESERA text protocol or Modbus RTU telegrams. The complete configuration is also
carried out via this data interface. The data interface has the following fixed settings: 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no
start bit, one stop bit (19200, 8N1).
13 Configuration and communication with ECB-100
The ECB-100 has extensive configuration and formatting options which can be read out and operated with the
ESERA Config-Tool 3 or your own software.
Since communication between ECB-100 and Config-Tool 3 takes place via the open ESERA ASCII text protocol,
you can also use any terminal program at any time to
(e.g. Hercules or Putty) with the ECO 1000 and carry out the configuration.
Details on the communication commands can be found in the document "Programming Manual" in the download
area of the ESERA online shop and within Config-Tool 3.

15 Operating conditions
The module may only be operated at the specified voltages and ambient conditions. The device can be operated
in any position. The device is intended for use in dry and dust-free rooms.
If condensation is formed, allow at least 2 hours for the unit to acclimatize. Do not operate the module in an
environment in which flammable gases, vapors or dusts are present or could be present.
16 Assembly
The installation site must be protected from moisture. The device may only be used in dry
indoor areas. The device is intended for installation inside a control cabinet as a stationary
device.
17 Disposal instructions
Do not dispose of the device in domestic waste! Electronic devices must be
disposed of at the local collection points for electronic waste in accordance

18 Safety instructions
When using products that come into contact with electrical voltage, the valid VDE regulations must be observed, especially
VDE 0100, VDE 0550/0551, VDE 0700, VDE 0711 and VDE 0860
All final or wiring work must be carried out with the power turned off.
Before opening the device, always unplug or make sure that the unit is disconnected from the mains.
Components, modules or devices may only be put into service if they are mounted in a contact proof housing.
During installation they must not have power applied.
Tools may only be used on devices, components or assemblies when it is certain that the devices are disconnected
from the power supply and electrical charges stored in the components inside the device have been discharged.
Live cables or wires to which the device or an assembly is connected, must always be tested for insulation faults or
breaks.
If an error is detected in the supply line, the device must be immediately taken out of operation until the faulty cable
has been replaced.
When using components or modules it is absolutely necessary to comply with the requirements set out in the
accompanying description specifications for electrical quantities.
If the available description is not clear to the non-commercial end-user what the applicable electrical characteristics
for a part or assembly are, how to connect an external circuit, which external components or additional devices can
be connected or which values these external components may have, a qualified electrician must be consulted.
It must be examined generally before the commissioning of a device, whether this device or module is basically
suitable for the application in which it is to be used.
In case of doubt, consultation with experts or the manufacturer of the components used is absolutely necessary.
For operational and connection errors outside of our control, we assume no liability of any kind for any resulting

Kits should be returned without their housing when not functional with an exact error description and the
accompanying instructions. Without an error description it is not possible to repair. For time-consuming assembly or
disassembly of cases charges will be invoiced.
During installation and handling of components which later have mains potential on their parts, the relevant VDE
regulations must be observed.
Devices that are to be operated at a voltage greater than 35 VDC / 12mA, may only be connected by a qualified
electrician and put into operation.
Commissioning may only be realized if the circuit is built into a contact proof housing.
If measurements with an open housing are unavoidable, for safety reasons an isolating transformer must be
installed upstream or a suitable power supply can be used.
After installing the required tests according to DGUV / regulation 3 (German statutory accident insurance,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Statutory_Accident_Insurance) must be carried out.
