PLC - Arduino - Multiple DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor - One Wire and Modbus Communication

This application about how to read data from Multiple DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and to bridge between Multiple DS18B20 and PLC,  I use Arduino.

Communication between Arduino and Multiple DS18B20 use One Wire Communication, and Communication between Arduino and PLC use Modbus Communication.

Operating temperature range of DS18B20 between -55°C to +125°C -67°F to +257°F) and suitable for applications : HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) environmental controls, sensing temperatures equipment or machinery , process monitoring and control, sensing temperatures inside buildings , and etc.

Modbus Communication between Arduino Modbus Master and PLC Modbus Slave

1. Arduino UNO such as Modbus Master
2. PLC such as Modbus Slave with Slave Address 1
3. DS18B20 to Arduino use One Wire Communication

Response/Actual Time from DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor to PLC

1. DS18B20 Max Conversion Time per Sensor

Thermometer Resolution	Max Conversion Time
9 bit	94 ms
10 bit	188 ms
11 bit	375 ms
12 bit	750 ms

2. Actual Time for two Sensors

I use two sensor and with Thermometer Resolution = 9 and Actual Time from Read two DS28B20 to Write PLC Memory between 2 - 2.5 Seconds
for communication use RS485 Modbus communication
