2. Configure CS01-LB to connect to LoRaWAN network

2.1 How it works

The CS01-LB is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and press the button to activate the CS01-LB. It will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value. The default uplink interval is 20 minutes.

Notice: CS01-LB doesn't include current sensor. User needs to get the current sensor separately and attach to CS01-LB for measuring. 

2.2 ​Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)

Following is an example for how to join the TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network. Below is the network structure; we use the LPS8v2  as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example. 

The LPS8V2 is already set to connected to TTN network , so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.

Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from CS01-LB.

Each CS01-LB is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

You can enter this key in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN screen shot:

Register the device

Add DevEUI and AppKey

Step 2: Activate on CS01-LB

Press the button for 5 seconds to activate the CS01-LB.

Green led will fast blink 5 times, device will enter OTA mode for 3 seconds. And then start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. Green led will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after joined in network.

After join success, it will start to upload messages to TTN and you can see the messages in the panel.

2.3 Device Status, FPORT=5

Users can use the downlink command(0x26 01) to ask CS01-LB to send device configure detail, include device configure status. CS01-LB will uplink a payload via FPort=5 to server.

The Payload format is as below.

Example parse in TTNv3.

Ex2: 0x0B49 = 2889mV

2.4 ​Working Mode & Uplink Payload

2.4.1 MOD=1(General acquisition mode), FPORT=2

Note: The AT+CCAL=0,0,0,0 command needs to be set when the v1.0 version firmware is used for the first time, otherwise there will be inaccurate current issue. 

MOD=1 is the default mode. End Node will uplink the real-time current sensor value in two case:

• Each TDC Interval.
• Trigger Alarm according to AT+CALARM configure.

Uplink packets use FPORT=2.

Alarm_status is a combination for Cur1L_status, Cur1H_status, Cur2L_status, Cur2H_status, Cur3L_status, Cur3H_status, Cur4L_status and Cur4H_status.

Totally 1bytes as below:

Example parse in TTNv3.

Battery Info

Check the battery voltage for CS01-LB/LS.

Ex1: 0x0B45&0x3FFF = 2885mV

Ex2: 0x0B49&0x3FFF = 2889mV

Interrupt Flag & Interrupt Level

Ext: 0x04B0 =1200/100=12.00A

Cur1L_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 1, this flag is True when it is lower than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

Cur1H_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 1, this flag is True when it is higher than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

Cur2L_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 2, this flag is True when it is lower than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

Cur2H_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 2, this flag is True when it is higher than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

Cur3L_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 3, this flag is True when it is lower than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

Cur3H_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 3, this flag is True when it is higher than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

Cur4L_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 4, this flag is True when it is lower than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

Cur4H_status:

When setting the current threshold alarm of channel 4, this flag is True when it is higher than the set threshold, otherwise it is False.

2.4.2 MOD=2(Continuous Sampling Mode), FPORT=7

In Continuous Sampling Mode(AT+MOD=2,aa,bb), CS01 will record the current sensor data at a fix interval, and report multiply group of data together to IoT server later.

Notice: This mode has high power consumption. External power supply might be needed. More detail please check power consumption section.

AT+MOD=2,aa,bb format:

• First Parameter set to 2: Set CS01-LB to work in Continuous Sampling Mode.
• aa : Set Sampling Interval, Unit: Second.
• bb : Define how many group of data will be uplink together. 

When CS01-LB is in Continuous Sampling Mode, the TDC time setting is disabled, and CS01-LB will send uplink once it finished the number of sampling define in "bb".

Example Command:AT+MOD=2,60,5
CS01-LB will read 4 channels data every 1 minutes. When it reads 5 groups, CS01-LB will send an uplink. So the uplink interval is 5 minutes. Each uplink will include 5 groups of sensor value. Each Group include 4 channels data. so the payload for each uplink will include:

• Battery (2 bytes)
• + Group1 Sensor Value (8 Bytes): the last 4th reading for Channel 1 + Channel 2 + Channel 3 + Channel 4
• + Group2 Sensor Value (8 Bytes): the last 3rd reading for Channel 1 + Channel 2 + Channel 3 + Channel 4
• + Group3 Sensor Value (8 Bytes): the last 2nd reading for Channel 1 + Channel 2 + Channel 3 + Channel 4
• + Group4 Sensor Value (8 Bytes): the last reading for Channel 1 + Channel 2 + Channel 3 + Channel 4
• + Group5 Sensor Value (8 Bytes): current reading for Channel 1 + Channel 2 + Channel 3 + Channel 4

So totally 42 bytes payload in this example.

Notice: Continuous Sampling Mode might generate a long payload, CS01-LB will choose the suitable DR to uplink the data. This might decrease the transmit distance.

Uplink packets use FPORT=7.

Example parse in TTNv3.

2.5 Payload Decoder file

In TTN, use can add a custom payload so it shows friendly reading

In the page Applications --> Payload Formats --> Custom --> decoder to add the decoder from:

https://github.com/dragino/dragino-end-node-decoder/tree/main/CS01-LB

2.6 Datalog Feature

Datalog Feature is to ensure IoT Server can get all sampling data from Sensor even if the LoRaWAN network is down. For each sampling, CS01-LB will store the reading for future retrieving purposes.

2.6.1 Ways to get datalog via LoRaWAN

Set PNACKMD=1, CS01-LB will wait for ACK for every uplink, when there is no LoRaWAN network, CS01-LB will mark these records with non-ack messages and store the sensor data, and it will send all messages (10s interval) after the network recovery.

• a) CS01-LB will do an ACK check for data records sending to make sure every data arrive server.

• b) CS01-LB will send data in CONFIRMED Mode when PNACKMD=1, but CS01-LB won't re-transmit the packet if it doesn't get ACK, it will just mark it as a NONE-ACK message. In a future uplink if CS01-LB gets a ACK, CS01-LB will consider there is a network connection and resend all NONE-ACK messages. 

2.6.2 Unix TimeStamp

CS01-LB uses Unix TimeStamp format based on

User can get this time from link:  https://www.epochconverter.com/ :

Below is the converter example

So, we can use AT+TIMESTAMP=1611889405 or downlink 3060137afd00 to set the current time 2021 – Jan -- 29 Friday 03:03:25

2.6.3 Set Device Time

User need to set SYNCMOD=1 to enable sync time via MAC command.

Once CS01-LB Joined LoRaWAN network, it will send the MAC command (DeviceTimeReq) and the server will reply with (DeviceTimeAns) to send the current time to CS01-LB. If CS01-LB fails to get the time from the server, CS01-LB will use the internal time and wait for next time request (AT+SYNCTDC to set the time request period, default is 10 days).

Note: LoRaWAN Server need to support LoRaWAN v1.0.3(MAC v1.0.3) or higher to support this MAC command feature, Chirpstack,TTN V3 v3 and loriot support but TTN V3 v2 doesn't support. If server doesn't support this command, it will through away uplink packet with this command, so user will lose the packet with time request for TTN V3 v2 if SYNCMOD=1.

2.6.4 Datalog Uplink payload (FPORT=3)

The Datalog uplinks will use below payload format.

Retrieval data payload:

Interrupt flag & Interrupt level :

No ACK Message:  1: This message means this payload is fromn Uplink Message which doesn't get ACK from the server before ( for PNACKMD=1 feature)

Poll Message Flag: 1: This message is a poll message reply.

• Poll Message Flag is set to 1.

• Each data entry is 11 bytes, to save airtime and battery, devices will send max bytes according to the current DR and Frequency bands.

For example, in US915 band, the max payload for different DR is:

a) DR0: max is 11 bytes so one entry of data

b) DR1: max is 53 bytes so devices will upload 4 entries of data (total 44 bytes)

c) DR2: total payload includes 11 entries of data

d) DR3: total payload includes 22 entries of data.

If devise doesn't have any data in the polling time. Device will uplink 11 bytes of 0    

Example:

If CS01-LB has below data inside Flash:

If user sends below downlink command:  3165BD971865BDA5283C

Where : Start time: 65BD9718 = time 23/5/24 03:30:41

             Stop time: 65BDA528= time 23/5/24 03:33:00

CS01-LB will uplink this payload.

Downlink Command: 0x08

Format: Command Code (0x08) followed by 4 bytes.

The first byte means the first channel, the second byte means the second channel, the third byte means the third channel, and the fourth byte means the fourth channel.And 1 means enable channel, 0 means disable channel.

• Example 1: Downlink Payload: 08 01 01 01 01     --->   AT+ENCHANNEL=1,1,1,1   // All channels are enabled

• Example 2: Downlink Payload: 08 01 01 01 00      --->  AT+ENCHANNEL=1,1,1,0  // Channel 4 disabled

• Example 3: Downlink Payload: 08 01 01 00 00      --->  AT+ENCHANNEL=1,1,0,0  // Channel 3 and 4 disabled

3.3.10 Set the current proportion parameter (Since V1.2)

This command sets the processing multiplier of the actual value to get the displayed value.

The default current proportion parameter is 100, which means that the displayed value is equal to the actual value multiplied by 1. The value ranges from 0 to 65535 (cannot be set to 0)，if the value is 1000, the displayed value is 10 times the actual value.

AT Command: AT+PROPORTION

Downlink Command: 0x0D

Format: Command Code (0x0D) followed by 2 bytes.

• Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0D 00 64      --->   AT+PROPORTION=100   // Set the displayed value to the actual value multiplied by 1.

• Example 2: Downlink Payload: 0D 01 F4      --->   AT+PROPORTION=500   // Set the displayed value to the actual value multiplied by 5.

3.3.11 Set current resolution (Since V1.2)

AT Command: AT+RESOLUTION

Downlink Command: 0x0E

Format: Command Code (0x0E) followed by 1 byte.

• Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0E 00       --->   AT+RESOLUTION=0

• Example 2: Downlink Payload: 0E 01       --->   AT+RESOLUTION=1

4. Use Case

4.1 Monitor the power status of office

This is a case study for CS01-LB current sensor. It shows how to use CS01 to monitor office power use status. 

Click here for more: Case 1: Monitor the power status of office

4.2 Function setting power consumption calculation case

Set alarm for, when current = 0.1 send data
Set alarm interval for 5 mins
Set regular data interval for 6 hours or so Power outage alarm is the priority.
Then switch OFF the connected load.
Look for alarm message, as the current will drop to very minimum.
Repeat LOAD OFF after 8 mins ( we have set alarm interval as 5 mins) and check for alarm message.
When a scenario like 4 outages per day, then we should get 4 Alarm + 4 regular current messages (data frequency set to 6 hours), then how much will be the battery life. 

The third, fifth, seventh and ninth parameter units of the v1.0 version are A, and the units of the third, fifth, seventh, and ninth parameters of versions after v1.1 are mA.

Below I set
AT+CALARM=1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,100
AT+ENCHANNEL=0,0,0,1

According to the settings, three aspects need to be calculated, as follows
(1) The alarm interval is once every five minutes, 12 times per hour, a total of 288 times a day, one alarm is equivalent to one detection, and the consumption per detection is ≈0.0172mAh, so the daily consumption is calculated as follows
0.0172*288=4.9536mAh
(2) The sleep current consumption per day is ≈0.0053268*24=0.1278432mAh
(3) 4 alarms + 4 regular current messages, equivalent to sending 8 uplink messages a day, each upload will consume
Single sensor: 0.076761064mAh
Four sensors: 0.109365489mAh
So
Single sensor consumption per day: 0.076761064*8=0.614088512mAh
Four sensors consumption per day: 0.109365489*8=0.874923912mAh
The CS01-LB battery capacity is 8500mAh. Calculated by the above data
Single sensor: 8500/(4.9536+0.1278432+0.614088512)=1492 days
Four sensors: 8500/(4.9536+0.1278432+0.874923912)=1427 days
The above calculation is the approximate battery life.
The battery life is also related to the frequency band and DR you use. See the figure below for details.

5. Battery & Power Consumption

CS01-LB use ER26500 + SPC1520 battery pack. See below link for detail information about the battery info and how to replace.

Battery Info & Power Consumption Analyze .

Notice: Continuous Sampling Mode will increase the power consumption a lot.

For example, if use all four channels to sampling data:

-- Sample every minute and uplink data every 5 minutes. The battery life is about 10 monthes.
-- Sample every minute and uplink data every 20 minutes. The battery life is about 12 monthes.

If user want to use external DC Adapter, to power the CS01-LB in this case, please refer Power Device use 3.3v Power Adapter.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Why are the collected current values inaccurate?

When the current value collected by the node is inaccurate, please check whether the calibration value is set by the AT+CCAL command in the node. If so, please change the calibration value to 0, that is: AT+CCAL=0,0,0,0.
