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:**

75

76

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

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

81

* 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? ==

89

90

(((

91

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.

98

99

100

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

101

102

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

103

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 ==

110

111

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.

112

113

114

[[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:

119

120

121

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

122

123

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

124

125

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

126

127

128

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

129

130

**Add APP EUI in the application.**

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

159

160

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

161

162

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

163

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

164

165

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

166

167

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

168

169

170

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

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"]].

276

277

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

278

279

414

415

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:

416

417

418

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

419

420

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

529

* 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.

530

* 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.

535

536

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

537

538

539

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

540

| | | | | | | |

541

542

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

543

544

545

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

546

| | | | | | | |

547

548

Then the following parameters should be:

549

550

* Address_Code range: A1

551

* Query_Length: 8

552

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

553

* Read_Length: 8

554

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

555

* has_CRC: 1

556

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

557

558

So the input command is:

559

560

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

561

562

563

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

767

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.

768

769

770

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

771

772

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

773

774

775

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

776

777

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

778

779

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

780

781

782

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

783

784

to screw up and adjust the bottom horizontally.

785

786

787

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

1110

1111

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.

1112

1113

1114

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

1115

1116

1117

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

1118

1119

1120

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

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

1167

1168

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.

1169

1170

1171

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.

1176

1177

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