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

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

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.

371

372

These commands are to configure:

375

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

376

377

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:

384

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

385

386

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

387

388

389

409

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

410

411

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

412

413

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

414

415

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

416

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

417

418

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

419

434

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

435

436

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.

437

438

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

439

440

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

441

442

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

443

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

444

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

445

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

446

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

447

* 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.

448

* 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.

453

454

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

455

456

457

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

458

| | | | | | | |

459

460

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

461

462

463

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

464

| | | | | | | |

465

466

Then the following parameters should be:

467

468

* Address_Code range: A1

469

* Query_Length: 8

470

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

471

* Read_Length: 8

472

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

473

* has_CRC: 1

474

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

475

476

So the input command is:

477

478

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

479

480

481

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

482

483

|Type Code|Length (Bytes)|Measured Value

|A1|2|0x000A

Related commands:

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

489

490

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

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

541

542

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

686

687

688

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

689

690

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

691

692

693

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

694

695

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

696

697

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

698

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.

1106

When nature light shine on the sense area, it will generate a signal base on the incidence radiation strength.
