 ====== Automatic restart of the 1-Wire bus ======
+<WRAP group>
+<WRAP half column 81%>
 The 1-Wire bus is prone to EMI which can result in sensors being "stuck" and disabling the whole bus communication. With our PLCs you are able to turn the power off for the whole 1-Wire bus and forcing the sensors to reset.

-In Mervis, the property controlling the power supply for the 1-Wire bus is called **OW_off_1**. By setting the value to true, the bus will be disconnected from the power supply and by resetting back to false the power supply will be connected back.

-You can reset the power supply manually, but with the help of **commerror** attributes, you can let Mervis do it automatically. The attributes are available on the particular device or the whole channel and they indicate when the Mervis wasn't able to read the datapoints.

 We will start the project in the **Full mode**, attaching to the controller, creating a FBD program and setting a task executing this program. Next we create ModbusTCP channel for the IOs of the PLC and 1-Wire channel for the 1-Wire bus. Then deploy the solution and detect the 1-Wire sensors. Your workspace should look like this:

-The most important is the attribute **commerror**, which indicates if there is a communication error with **any** of the connected sensors. The attribute's type is bool and when the value is ''TRUE'', it means there is a communication error and once the error disappears, the attribute is ''FALSE''. As you can see, attribute of the same name is in the section **office**. This attribute indicates communication error **only** for the sensor called **office**.

 The solution for automatic restart needs to check the value of the **commerror** and when it is ''TRUE'' we need to briefly set the **OW_off_1** to ''TRUE'' and then set it back to ''FALSE''. Better yet, if the **commerror** stays in ''TRUE'' we will try resetting the bus periodically. For this function, we can use block **Pulse Generator (BD2)**:

-All we need to alter is the length of the pulse and the pause between pulses to some reasonable values such as Ttrue = 1s and Tfalse = 4s, deploy the solution and start debugging. Then you can unplug the 1-Wire sensor and you will see that the measured values are red and the commerror attribute is ''TRUE'' and the **Pulse Generator** is sending reset pulses to the bus:
