What is the ideal cable length for connecting the TSL200 ambient light sensor to a TERACOM controller?

[LeJameson]

To ensure reliable performance when connecting the TSL200 1-Wire Ambient Light Sensor to a TERACOM controller like the TCW241, TCW220, or TCG140, it's essential to use the correct cable and adhere to the recommended cable length. Use UTP/FTP cables for the connection. The TSL200 sensor has a specific pinout for proper wiring: Pin 1: 1-Wire GND (White/Brown), Pin 2: 1-Wire GND (White/Green), Pin 3: 1-Wire Data (Green), Pin 4: 1-Wire GND (White/Orange), Pin 5: 1-Wire +VDD (Orange), Pin 6: 1-Wire +VDD (Brown). For multiple sensors, a daisy-chained (linear) topology is recommended. Keep the total cable length to a maximum of 30 meters to ensure optimal functionality and accurate illuminance readings. Always consult the TSL200 user manual for detailed connection diagrams and safety information.
