152

153

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

154

155

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

156

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

157

158

159

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

160

161

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

392

393

394

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

395

396

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

397

398

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

399

400

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

401

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

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

408

409

Feature: In emergency mode, WSC1-L will uplink data every 1 minute.

410

411

412

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

413

414

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

415

== 3.3 Add or Delete RS485 Sensor ==

428

429

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.

430

431

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

432

433

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

434

435

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

436

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

437

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

438

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

439

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

440

* 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.

441

* 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.

446

447

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

448

449

450

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

451

| | | | | | | |

452

453

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

454

455

456

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

457

| | | | | | | |

458

459

Then the following parameters should be:

460

461

* Address_Code range: A1

462

* Query_Length: 8

463

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

464

* Read_Length: 8

465

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

466

* has_CRC: 1

467

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

468

469

So the input command is:

470

471

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

472

473

474

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

475

476

|Type Code|Length (Bytes)|Measured Value

|A1|2|0x000A

Related commands:

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