48

49

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.

69

70

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

71

72

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

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

77

* 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.

78

* Cabinet.

79

80

== 2.2 How it works? ==

81

82

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.

83

84

85

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

86

87

[[image:1656042192857-709.png]]

88

89

90

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

91

92

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

93

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

94

95

== 2.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

96

97

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.

98

99

100

[[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:

105

106

107

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

108

109

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

110

111

[[image:image-20220624115043-1.jpeg]]

112

113

114

User can enter these keys in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot:

115

116

**Add APP EUI in the application.**

**Add APP KEY and DEV EUI**

132

133

[[image:1656042723199-746.png]]

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 2**(%%): Power on WSC1-L, it will start to join TTN server. After join success, it will start to upload sensor data to TTN V3 and user can see in the panel.

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

145

146

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

147

148

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

149

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

150

151

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

152

153

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

154

155

156

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

=== 2.4.2 Uplink FPORT~=2, Real time sensor value ===

260

261

WSC1-L will send this uplink after Device Config uplink once join LoRaWAN network successfully. And it will periodically send this uplink. Default interval is 20 minutes and [[can be changed>>||anchor="H"]].

262

263

Uplink uses FPORT=2 and every 20 minutes send one uplink by default.

264

265

266

The upload length is dynamic, depends on what type of weather sensors are connected. The uplink payload is combined with sensor segments. As below:

400

401

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:

402

403

404

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

405

406

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

515

* 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.

516

* 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.

521

522

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

523

524

525

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

526

| | | | | | | |

527

528

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

529

530

531

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

532

| | | | | | | |

533

534

Then the following parameters should be:

535

536

* Address_Code range: A1

537

* Query_Length: 8

538

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

539

* Read_Length: 8

540

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

541

* has_CRC: 1

542

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

543

544

So the input command is:

545

546

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

547

548

549

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

752

753

WSS-01 RS485 Rain Gauge is used in meteorology and hydrology to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation (mainly rainfall) over an area.

754

755

756

WSS-01 uses a tipping bucket to detect rainfall. The tipping bucket use 3D streamline

757

758

shape to make sure it works smoothly and is easy to clean.

759

760

761

WSS-01 is designed to support the Dragino Weather station solution.

762

763

Users only need to connect WSS-01 RS485 interface to WSC1-L. The weather station main

764

765

processor WSC1-L can detect and upload the rainfall to the IoT Server via wireless LoRaWAN protocol

766

767

768

The tipping bucket of WSS-01 is adjusted to the best angle. When installation, user only needs

769

770

to screw up and adjust the bottom horizontally.

771

772

773

== 6.6 Total Solar Radiation sensor ~-~- WSS-06 ==

1096

1097

WSS-06 is Total Radiation Sensor can be used to measure the total solar radiation in the spectral range of 0.3 to 3 μm (300 to 3000 nm). If the sensor face is down, the reflected radiation can be measured, and the shading ring can also be used to measure the scattered radiation.

1098

1099

1100

The core device of the radiation sensor is a high-precision photosensitive element, which has good stability and high precision; at the same time, a precision-machined PTTE radiation cover is installed outside the sensing element, which effectively prevents environmental factors from affecting its performance

1101

1102

1103

WSS-06 is designed to support the Dragino Weather station solution.

1104

1105

1106

Users only need to connect WSS-06 RS485 interface to WSC1-L. The weather station main

== 6.7 PAR (Photosynthetically Available Radiation) ~-~- WSS-07 ==

1153

1154

WSS-07 photosynthetically active radiation sensor is mainly used to measure the photosynthetically active radiation of natural light in the wavelength range of 400-700nm.

1155

1156

1157

WSS-07 use precision optical detectors and has an optical filter of 400-700nm, when natural light is irradiated, a voltage signal proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation is generated, and its luminous flux density is proportional to the cosine of the direct angle of the incident light.

WSS-07 is designed to support the Dragino Weather station solution.

Users only need to connect WSS-07 RS485 interface to WSC1-L. The weather station main
