463

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

1.

11. Set Transmit Interval Time

468

469

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

470

471

**AT Command: AT+TDC**

472

473

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

474

|AT+TDC?|Show current transmit Interval|(((

30000

OK

the interval is 30000ms = 30s

**Downlink Command: 0x01**

489

490

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

491

492

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

493

494

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

495

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

1.

11. Set Emergency Mode

502

503

516

* 0xE100 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=0

1.

11. Add or Delete RS485 Sensor

522

523

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.

**AT Command: **

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

528

529

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

530

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

531

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

532

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

533

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

534

* 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.

535

* 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.

542

543

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

544

545

546

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

| | | | | | | |

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

551

552

553

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

554

| | | | | | | |

555

556

Then the following parameters should be:

557

558

* Address_Code range: A1

559

* Query_Length: 8

560

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

561

* Read_Length: 8

562

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

563

* has_CRC: 1

564

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

565

566

567

So the input command is:

568

569

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

570

571

572

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

573

574

|Type Code|Length (Bytes)|Measured Value

|A1|2|0x000A

Related commands:

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

584

585

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

586
