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

126

127

128

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

== 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.

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

170

171

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

172

173

174

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"]].

275

276

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

277

278

279

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

When sending this payload to LoRaWAN server. WSC1-L will send this in one uplink or several uplinks according to LoRaWAN spec requirement. For example, total length of Payload is 54 bytes.

382

383

* When WSC1-L sending in US915 frequency DR0 data rate. Because this data rate has limitation of 11 bytes payload for each uplink. The payload will be split into below packets and uplink. Uplink 1: 01 03 00 14 02 02 03 02 C9 03

=== 2.4.3 Decoder in TTN V3 ===

398

399

In LoRaWAN platform, user only see HEX payload by default, user needs to use payload formatters to decode the payload to see human-readable value.

== 2.5 Show data on Application Server ==

413

414

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:

415

416

417

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

418

419

(% 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.

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

450

451

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

452

453

These commands are to configure:

454

455

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

456

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

457

458

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:

491

492

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

493

494

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

495

496

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

529

* 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.

534

535

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

536

== 6.1 Rain Gauge ~-~- WSS-01 ==

765

766

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.

767

768

769

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

770

771

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

772

773

774

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

775

776

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

777

778

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

779

780

781

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

782

783

to screw up and adjust the bottom horizontally.

784

785

786

WSS-01 package includes screw which can be installed to ground. If user want to install WSS-01 on pole, they can purchase WS-K2 bracket kit.

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

1109

1110

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.

1111

1112

1113

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

1114

1115

1116

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

1117

1118

1119

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

1120

1121

processor WSC1-L can detect and upload Total Solar Radiation to the IoT Server via wireless LoRaWAN protocol.

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

1166

1167

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.

1168

1169

1170

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.
