== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

155

156

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

157

158

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

159

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

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

167

168

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

169

170

171

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

465

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

1.

11. Set Transmit Interval Time

470

471

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

472

473

**AT Command: AT+TDC**

474

475

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

476

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

30000

OK

the interval is 30000ms = 30s

518

* 0xE100 Same as: AT+ALARMMOD=0

1.

11. Add or Delete RS485 Sensor

524

525

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

530

531

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

532

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

533

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

534

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

535

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

536

* 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.

537

* 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.

544

545

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

546

547

548

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

| | | | | | | |

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

553

554

555

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

556

| | | | | | | |

557

558

Then the following parameters should be:

559

560

* Address_Code range: A1

561

* Query_Length: 8

562

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

563

* Read_Length: 8

564

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

565

* has_CRC: 1

566

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

567

568

569

So the input command is:

570

571

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

572

573

574

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

575

576

|Type Code|Length (Bytes)|Measured Value

|A1|2|0x000A

Related commands:

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

1284

1285

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.

1286

1287

1288

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.
