50

(% style="color:blue" %)** Wiring:**

51

52

~1. WSC1-L and sensors all powered by solar power via MPPT

53

54

2. WSC1-L and sensors connect to each other via RS485/Modbus.

55

56

3. WSC1-L read value from each sensor and send uplink via LoRaWAN

57

58

59

WSC1-L is shipped with a RS485 converter board, for the easy connection to different sensors and WSC1-L. Below is a connection photo:

62

63

64

(% style="color:red" %) ** Notice 1:**

65

66

* All weather sensors and WSC1-L are powered by MPPT solar recharge controller. MPPT is connected to solar panel and storage battery.

67

* WSC1-L has an extra 1000mAh back up battery. So it can work even solar panel and storage battery Fails.

68

* Weather sensors won’t work if solar panel and storage battery fails.

(% style="color:red" %)** Notice 2:**

73

74

Due to shipment and importation limitation, user is better to purchase below parts locally:

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

79

* Mounting Kit includes pole and mast assembly. Each weather sensor has it’s own mounting assembly, user can check the sensor section in this manual.

* Cabinet.

== 2.2 How it works? ==

85

86

(((

87

Each WSC1-L is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use WSC1-L in a LoRaWAN network, user needs to input the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN network server. After finish installation as above. Create WSC1-L in your LoRaWAN server and Power on WSC1-L , it can join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit sensor data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.

)))

Open WSC1-L and put the yellow jumper as below position to power on WSC1-L.

94

95

96

(% style="color:red" %)**Notice:**

97

98

1. WSC1-L will auto scan available weather sensors when power on or reboot.

99

1. User can send a downlink command to WSC1-L to do a re-scan on the available sensors.

== 2.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

104

105

This section shows an example for how to join the TTN V3 LoRaWAN IoT server. Usages with other LoRaWAN IoT servers are of similar procedure.

106

107

108

[[image:1656042612899-422.png]]

Assume the DLOS8 is already set to connect to [[TTN V3 network >>url:https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/]]. We need to add the WSC1-L device in TTN V3:

113

114

115

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1**(%%): Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from WSC1-L.

116

117

Each WSC1-L is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

153

154

Uplink payloads include two types: Valid Sensor Value and other status / control command.

155

156

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

157

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

=== 2.4.1 Uplink FPORT~=5, Device Status ===

162

163

Uplink the device configures with FPORT=5. Once WSC1-L Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server. After first uplink, WSC1-L will uplink Device Status every 12 hours

(((

User can also use downlink command(0x2301) to ask WSC1-L to resend this uplink

332

333

Application platform provides a human friendly interface to show the sensor data, once we have sensor data in TTN V3, we can use Datacake to connect to TTN V3 and see the data in Datacake. Below are the steps:

334

335

336

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1**(%%): Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the LoRaWAN network.

337

338

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 2**(%%): Configure your Application to forward data to Datacake you will need to add integration. Go to TTN V3 Console ~-~-> Applications ~-~-> Integrations ~-~-> Add Integrations.

= 3. Configure WSC1-L via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink =

360

361

Use can configure WSC1-L via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink.

362

363

* AT Command Connection: See [[FAQ>>||anchor="H"]].

364

368

369

There are two kinds of commands to configure WSC1-L, they are:

370

371

* (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**General Commands**.

372

373

These commands are to configure:

374

375

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

376

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

377

378

They are same for all Dragino Device which support DLWS-005 LoRaWAN Stack((% style="color:red" %)Note~*~*)(%%). These commands can be found on the wiki:

383

384

385

* (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**Commands special design for WSC1-L**

386

387

These commands only valid for WSC1-L, as below:

388

389

390

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

391

392

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

393

394

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command: AT+TDC**

395

396

|**Command Example**|**Function**|**Response**

404

|AT+TDC=60000|Set Transmit Interval|(((

405

OK

406

407

Set transmit interval to 60000ms = 60 seconds

408

)))

409

410

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Downlink Command: 0x01**

411

412

Format: Command Code (0x01) followed by 3 bytes time value.

413

414

If the downlink payload=0100003C, it means set the END Node’s Transmit Interval to 0x00003C=60(S), while type code is 01.

415

416

* Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0100001E ~/~/ Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 30 seconds

417

* Example 2: Downlink Payload: 0100003C ~/~/ Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 60 seconds

418

419

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

420

421

Feature: In emergency mode, WSC1-L will uplink data every 1 minute.

422

423

424

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command:**

425

426

428

|AT+ALARMMOD=0|Exit emergency mode. Uplink base on TDC time|OK

429

430

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Downlink Command:**

431

432

* 0xE101 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=1

433

* 0xE100 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=0

434

435

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

436

437

Feature: User can add or delete 3^^rd^^ party sensor as long they are RS485/Modbus interface,baud rate support 9600.Maximum can add 4 sensors.

438

439

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command: **

440

441

AT+DYSENSOR=Type_Code, Query_Length, Query_Command , Read_Length , Valid_Data ,has_CRC,timeout

442

443

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

444

* Query_Length: RS485 Query frame length, Value cannot be greater than 10

445

* Query_Command: RS485 Query frame data to be sent to sensor, cannot be larger than 10 bytes

446

* Read_Length: RS485 response frame length supposed to receive. Max can receive

447

* Valid_Data: valid data from RS485 Response, Valid Data will be added to Payload and upload via LoRaWAN.

448

* has_CRC: RS485 Response crc check (0: no verification required 1: verification required). If CRC=1 and CRC error, valid data will be set to 0.

449

* timeout: RS485 receive timeout (uint:ms). Device will close receive window after timeout

Example:

User need to change external sensor use the type code as address code.

454

455

With a 485 sensor, after correctly changing the address code to A1, the RS485 query frame is shown in the following table:

456

457

458

|0xA1|0x03|0x00|0x00|0x00|0x01|0x9C|0xAA

459

| | | | | | | |

460

461

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

462

463

464

|0xA1|0x03|0x00|0x02|0x00|0x0A|0x7C|0xAD

465

| | | | | | | |

466

467

Then the following parameters should be:

468

469

* Address_Code range: A1

470

* Query_Length: 8

471

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

472

* Read_Length: 8

473

* Valid_Data: 24 (Indicates that the data length is 2 bytes, starting from the 4th byte)

474

* has_CRC: 1

475

* timeout: 1500 (Fill in the test according to the actual situation)

476

477

So the input command is:

478

479

AT+DYSENSOR=A1,8,A103000000019CAA,8,24,1,1500

480

481

482

In every sampling. WSC1-L will auto append the sensor segment as per this structure and uplink.

483

484

|Type Code|Length (Bytes)|Measured Value

|A1|2|0x000A

Related commands:

AT+DYSENSOR=A1,0 –> Delete 3^^rd^^ party sensor A1.

490

491

AT+DYSENSOR ~-~-> List All 3^^rd^^ Party Sensor. Like below:

492

540

541

If the downlink payload=E0000005, it means set the END Node’s Transmit Interval to 0x000005=5(S), while type code is E0.

542

543

* Example 1: Downlink Payload: E0000005 ~/~/ Set Transmit Interval (DTR) = 5 seconds
